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):

  • Gashouse (85-65) - 2007 League Champ; 2006 Gore Champ
  • Maryland (77-73) - Last year's champion drops back a bit this year.
  • Platte County (76-74) - First time to finish higher than 3rd place.
  • Parkville (74-76) - 2nd appearance in Gore Cup

 

Semifinals - Parkville vs.Gashouse; Platte County vs Maryland

 

Finals - Parkville vs Maryland; Season series was tied 3-3
