I thought of the balrog but wasn't sure of the
opponent. Seeding will be tricky (perhaps like in
the NCAA's with some byes), so

9. Balrog vs. Witch-King.

Oh, and the tournament field is the Pelennor
(partly for seating. People with houses on upper
tiers of Minas Tirith will make a fortune scalping tickets).

Oops. Need a new opponent for Saruman now.
Ideas? Gandalf, Elrond, Faramir or ????? (I guess not the Gaffer , eh?)

1. Eowyn vs. Shelob
2. Tom Bombadil vs. Galadriel
3. pteradactyl vs. Gollum
4. Eomer vs. Haldir
5. Lobelia vs. Bilbo (granted the winner being just the teensiest
bit of a longshot to win it all)
6. Saruman vs. ??????
7. Gimli vs. Legolas (obviously no arrows allowed for Leggy)
8. Beorn vs. Boromir
