          The 2010 Benchwarmer Bash
          Federation Championships - Joe DiMaggio Federation
          In 2009 we changed the annual Benchwarmer Bash to start off with 
          Federation Championships.  The 22 
          leagues are divided into 8 Federations (see the breakdown on the
          Leagues page).  Most 
          Federations currently have three leagues - Five teams advance to the Federation 
          Championships.  The league champions automatically qualify, plus 
          the two or three non-championship teams with the highest
          power index values 
          within the federation. 
            
          The first round is a play-in between the two lowest-ranked wild 
          card teams.  The winner advances to the federation semifinals.  
          Teams are seeded based on their federation power index.  However, 
          wild card teams are seeded at the bottom in all rounds. 
            
          Seeding - Federation Championship: 
          
                  - Three of a Kind Champion: Detroit - Power Index: 1
 
                  - Redbirds Champion: Middle Age - Power Index: 2
