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 2009 Entrants (in order of seeding):
- Hoboken (90-60) - Neck and neck with Displaced for most of the
season.
- Margaritaville (82-68) - Tough finish after leading much of the
year; Gore Champ in 2005
- Dinkytown (80-70) - Two straight years in 2nd place
- San Francisco (70-80) - Highest division finish since 2006
