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 2009 Entrants (in order of seeding):

  • Santa Ana (84-66) - Last year's Gore Champ
  • St. Cloud (79-71) - Defending 2-time league champion
  • Bath County (72-78) - 1st season out of last place
  • Quahog (71-79) - A drop from division champion last season

 

Semifinals - Quahog vs.Santa Ana; Bath County vs St. Cloud

 

Finals - Quahog vs St. Cloud; St. Cloud won the season series 5-1
