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 2007 Entrants (in order of seeding):

  • Silicon Valley (85-65) - Close to St. Cloud for much of the season, they fell off at the end.
  • Santa Ana (85-65) - Came close - 1 game - to San Berdoo at the end of the season.
  • Quahog (77-73) - Edinburgh's sweep of the final three games doomed Quahog to 2nd place.
  • New Ulm (75-75) - Solid holder of 2nd place for the final 10-15 weeks of the season.

Semifinals - New Ulm vs.Silicon Valley; Quahog vs Santa Ana

 

Finals - Santa Ana vs Silicon Valley - Silicon Valley won the season series 4-2
