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 2010 Entrants (in order of seeding):

  • Benchwarmer (92-58)
  • NYC (86-64)
  • Men Injecting Men (81-70)
  • BB Sportswriting (66-84)

 

Semifinals - BB Sportswriting vs Benchwarmer; Men Injecting Men vs NYC

 

Finals - NYC vs Benchwarmer - They split the season series 3-3
