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 2008 Entrants (in order of seeding):

  • NJ (85-65) - First time that they haven't won the division crown.
  • Motley (85-65) - League champ in 2006.  5-7 record vs. NJ sets them as the 2nd seed.
  • Bedrock (74-76) - 3rd straight 2nd-place finish behind Tombstone.  Missed by only 4 games.
  • Oklahoma (74-76) - Gore Cup winner in 2007.  3-9 record against Bedrock this year has them seeded 4th.

 

Semifinals - Oklahoma vs. NJ; Bedrock vs. Motley

 

Finals - Oklahoma vs. Bedrock - Bedrock won the season series 9-3.
