The Best of the Worst

New this year is a chance to extend the season for all teams.  The 3rd and 4th place teams meet in a mini-tournament to attempt to win 250,000 bucks.  Not a ton of cash, but enough to sign another of next year's rookies to a multi-year contract.

 

The teams are seeded 1-8 and meet in best-of-three quarterfinal and semifinal rounds.  The two remaining teams meet in a best-of-five run for the cash.  Las Vegas is this year's top seed, with Minnesota close behind.

 

Finals: In the finals, we have the 3rd seed Milford and the 7th seed Denver.  Both teams were expansion teams last season, and are the last of the four expansion teams still playing in this round.  During the season, Milford won 7 more games than Denver, but the two teams split their 6-game season series.
