          The 2012 Benchwarmer Bash
          Federation Championships - Johnny Bench Federation
          In 2009 we changed the annual Benchwarmer Bash to start off with 
		  Federation Championships.  The 32 
          leagues are divided into 8 Federations (see the breakdown on the
          Leagues page).  All 
          Federations currently have four leagues - and the four league champion teams 
		  automatically advance to the Federation Championships.  In 2012, 
		  there are no wild card teams. 
            
          Teams are seeded based on their federation 
		  power index. 
            
          Seeding - Federation Championship: 
          
                  - Winners Circle Champion: Crumpton - Power Index: 1 --
