[the phantom]

Skip will be posting the final quarterfinal soon, but so that everyone can get a jump on trades, I'll go ahead and post the points from the quarters and the specifics for the next round.

You are allowed THREE trades. The star limit is NINE. You may feature FOUR players from one team.

The semifinals are-
Mithrim vs Vinyamar
Gondolin vs Utumno

Predict the winners for bonus points (three each).

If you entirely missed doing trades before the last round, you are allowed one extra trade if you have more than three dead players on your team (players that have been eliminated).
