The 2020 Benchwarmer League Tournament - American Association
Quarterfinals
In the 2020 season shortened by the Covid-19 pandemic, BWB is
restructuring the league playoffs to include all 16 teams in the
league. Division winners are given the top 4 seeding spots and
the remainder of the field is ranked 5-16 based on winning percentage
during the 2020 regular season. We've already played
round one
and are down to 8 teams remaining for the league quarterfinals.
The eight teams that lost in round one move to the
Bottom
Feeder Open - where, for one year only, the winner will have the
top spot in the 2020-2021 off-season transaction order,
including for the Redistribution Draft. In the
quarterfinals, the four winning teams will move on to what in
normal seasons are the conference championships and the league
final . The four losing teams will move on to the
Gore Cup .
The eight teams advancing from the first round have been
reseeded based on their round one seeding (division winners
remain on top).
