The Best of the Worst

The Bottom Feeder Open - playing for pride and a few bucks.

A small taste of post season baseball as the third and fourth place teams get a chance to play a few more games. Teams are ranked 1-8, based on season record and play a 3-game quarterfinal series. Winners are re-seeded and play a 3-game semifinal.

The two remaining teams square off in a best-of-five finals.

The winner receives a bonus of 500,000 Benchwarmer Bucks. The runner-up gets 250,000.

2013 Finals: Des Moines (69-81) vs. Cincinnati (74-76)

Season series: Split 3-3
