Second-Place Showdown

In honor of the 43rd President of the United States (heh, heh, heh), The Al Gore Cup is a forum for teams that finished second and most likely feel that they're more deserving than all of the other first-place teams to be in the championship bracket.

Teams are seeded 1-4 based on regular season records and play a best-of-seven semifinal round followed by another seven game series to crown the winner.

The winner receives a bonus of 1 million Benchwarmer Bucks. The runner-up gets 500,000.

The 2011 Entrants (in order of seeding):

WV (89-61)
Ralston (80-70)
High Flying (71-79)
Nevada (69-81)

Semifinals - Nevada vs WV; High Flying vs Ralston

Finals - Ralston vs WV - WV won the season series 7-5
