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 2008 Entrants (in order of seeding):

  • Vancouver, BC, Canada, 2010 (86-64) - 2nd place finish in Speaker, but would have won 2 other divisions.
  • Detroit (82-68) - Spirited fight with Belton for the 2nd spot.
  • Vegas Strip (77-73) - Finished 2nd in a tight 3-way race.
  • Plaza (75-75) - Ahead by 2 games after Week 24, lost title by 1 game.

 

Semifinals - Plaza vs. Vancouver, BC, Canada, 2010; Vegas Strip vs. Detroit

 

Finals - Plaza vs. Detroit - Detroit won the season series 7-5
