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 2006 Entrants (in order of seeding):

  • Gashouse (88-63) - Came back in the Amazing Race division to end up in a tie, but lost a one-game playoff to Jersey Sea Shore.  League Power Index: 1
  • South Pole (83-67) - One game ahead of Platte County to finish 2nd.  Power Index: 6
  • Buffalo (78-73) - Tied with Minneapolis, but took 2nd place due to 13-5 edge in head-to-head.  Power Index: 8
  • Generic (69-81) - Beat out Parkville for 2nd place.  Power Index: 7

Semifinals - Gashouse wins in 6 games, South Pole wins in 7.

 

Finals - South Pole vs. Gashouse.  South Pole took the season series 4-2.

2006 Winner: Gashouse Gorillas
