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 2011 Entrants (in order of seeding):

  • Shenandoah Valley (89-61)
  • Hudson River (84-66)
  • Motor City (81-69)
  • Death Valley (71-79)

 

Semifinals - Death Valley vs Shenandoah Valley; Motor City vs Hudson River

 

Finals - Death Valley vs Motor City - Motor City won the season series 5-1
