          The 2014 Benchwarmer Bash
          Federation Championships - Dennis Eckersley Federation
          The Benchwarmer Bash begins with 
		  Federation Championships.  The 41 leagues are divided into 8 Federations (see the breakdown on the
          Leagues page).  We've 
		  got a mix of Federations with five leagues and some with six - the league champion 
		  teams automatically advance to the Federation Championships, and we 
		  add enough wild cards to make a field of eight teams. 
            
          Teams are seeded based on their federation 
		  power index.  
		  However, in matchups between wild cards and league champs, the league 
		  champion will have home field advantage.
