The 2005 Benchwarmer Bash
Now that the game has grown beyond a single league, Benchwarmer
Baseball will hold a final playoff tournament each fall, taking all
the league champions (and perhaps some wildcard teams) and crowning a
single champ for all of Benchwarmer Baseball.
In 2005, with 5 leagues, we take the 5 league champs plus 3 wild
cards - the three non-championship teams with the highest Power Index
Numbers.
Our Seeding :
1. Boar's Nest (Hall of Fame) - Power Index: 2
2. Asia (K Street) - PI: 6
3. TRB (Shadowball) - PI: 10
4. Carlisle (Beatleball) - PI: 17
5. Rainy City (Longball) - PI: 31
6. Milford (Hall of Fame) - Wild Card - PI: 1
7. South Hill (Longball) - Wild Card - PI: 3
8. NJ (Shadowball) - Wild Card - PI: 4
We will not re-seed in between rounds.
