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):

  • Troy (84-66) - 5-1 edge over IM's in season series.
  • Dingo Beer (81-69) - Fought it out for much of the season with The Natty Lights.
  • St. Pauli (75-75) - The only team in the entire league to finish fewer than 10 games behind their division champ.
  • IM's (70-80) - Last week finished at .500 or better - Week 15.

Semifinals - IM's vs.Troy; St. Pauli vs Dingo Beer

 

Finals - St. Pauli vs Troy - Troy won the season series 7-5.
