Huan of Hithlum
Melkor of Valimar
Orodreth of Nargothrond
Sauron of Armenelos
Uldor of Angband


Special stars on offer once again.

As the whole Armenelos team has played just splendidly but the scoring and defending has been a spread team-effort none of them has been high in the point-scorers’ lists. Therefore AKM wishes to give the whole Armenelos team five stars each for a solid teamplay.

Mirkwood defence (Radagast, Treebeard, Grimbeorn) will gain additional three points each for a superb performance being the key to their victory by containing Túna's the most effective forwards of the whole tournament.


This gives us the overall standings as the following (look at the joint leaders and shiver!). Those not playing anymore are in italics.

Twelve stars:
Melkor of Valimar
Sauron of Armenelos

Eleven stars:
Felarof of Edoras
Nerdanel of Tuna

Ten stars:
Elros of Romenna
mormwolf of TIG

Nine stars:
Theoden of Edoras

Eight stars:
Fëanor of Hithlum
Huor of Dor-Lomin
Tar Atanamir of Armenelos

Seven stars:
Eldacar of Osgiliath
Elrond of Eregion
Miriel of Tuna
Shadowfax of Edoras

Bubbling under in six stars... Ar Pharazon, Curufin, Galadriel, Gwindor, Tar Telperion, Tilion, Turín and the Witch-King. At five stars 18 players...

Looking at how many of the top seats are taken by players already out of tournament the run for winning the AKM-stars award looks to be like anybodys' game!
