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 2008 Entrants (in order of seeding):

Manalapan (85-65) - Stuck in the same division with Brooklyn - enough wins to win any of the other three divisions.
Middle Age (82-68) - Fell short by one game in the Slaughter.
Newport Beach (81-69) - Close finish in the Dean Division.
Republic of South Africa 2010 (75-75) - Could never quite catch Hanso.

Semifinals - Republic of South Africa 2010 vs. Manalapan; Newport Beach vs. Middle Age

Finals - Middle Age vs. Manalapan - Manalapan won the season series 5-1
