Just a question. Was Gothmog playing for Moria? Or did you mean Durin's Bane? Or is there some sort of mistake? Or is it me being stupid?

Yes I meant Bill. My mistake.

Beleg (Doriath): 7
Ugluk (Isengard): 6
Glorfindel (Gondolin): 5
Pippin (The Shire): 5
Sauron (Tol-In-Gauroth): 5
Turin (Nargothrond): 5
Azog (Moria): 4
Legolas (Mirkwood): 4
Aragorn (Gondor): 3
Arathorn (Arnor): 3
Gothmog (Angband): 3
Melkor (Angband): 3
Sleepy Ranger (Barrow Downs): 3
The Saucepan Man (Barrow Downs): 3
Tom Bombadil Old Forest): 3
Turgon (Gondolin): 3
Varda (Valimar): 3
Ancalagon the Black (Angband): 2
Arvedui (Arnor): 2
Dark Lord (Mordor): 2
Ecthelion (Gondolin): 2
Faramir (Gondor): 2
Haldir (Lothlorien): 2
Manwe (Valmar): 2 (assuming Manwe scored Valmar's goal in their last game)
Quickbeam (Fangorn): 2
Tar-Meneldur (Numenor): 2
Thorin (Erebor): 2
Treebeard (Fangorn): 2
Witch King of Angmar (Mordor): 2

*NB - this assumes that Manwe scored Valmar's goal in their last game - please correct me if I am wrong, Sleepy*

With another goal, Beleg Strongboot maintains his position at the top of the table. As already noted, Ugluk is unfortunately out of the running with his team's exit from the competition, as is Glorfindel of Gondolin.

Other than the determined Saucepan Man (

), Beleg's main rivals for the trophy as things stand are Pippin and Sauron. Don't discount any of those Angband players, though, as that team looks set to go all the way. Melkor must be a contender, along with Gothmog.

Sorry I've not posted the tables for a while. I've been a little busy recently as it was my grandfather's funeral on Friday. I'll try and get some up as soon as possible!

Don't kill me!

P.s. Sleepy, you may have to watch out that Gandalf doesn’t run onto the pitch... uncloaked of course.

Sleepy Ranger · 11-21-2005, 10:02 AM

...I was wondering wether you wanted the matches to be on video or not. Because if you do you'll have to wait till Wednesday for them to be uploaded, if you want them written I can have them up by tonight or tomorrow morning.

Hookbill the Goomba · 11-21-2005, 10:08 AM

Why not both? :P

Either is good. I'm just conscious of people with little hard-drive left. Will they be downloaded or streaming?

Sleepy Ranger · 11-21-2005, 10:45 AM

Streaming, provided I can find somewhere to upload the files. Don't worry though, I'll still have short descriptions of the matches.

I just meant that if you want the videos you'll get it ALL on Wednesday so as not to spoil the match.

**The Saucepan Man** · 11-21-2005, 12:16 PM

Sleepy - I think that a short delay will be in order, so as to give people an opportunity to comment on the upcoming quarter-final matches.

A final group table, plus draws for the quarter-finals would be good in the meantime, though.

Hookbill the Goomba · 11-21-2005, 03:17 PM

The Groups! The Final tables!
Those whose points are in bold have a greater goal difference.

Mirkwood: An O.K. team, though Legolas' ability is often over-rated. Their unique training method of taking practice shots at spiders (usually followed by a run) may pay off.

Valimar: An old favorite, but their field presence is declining. Their coaching, however, is only improving and I have heard several fans saying that coach Eru is God.

Gondor: A newer team, but they have potential. Chants of "Gondor rocks" are becoming more and more common.

Bree: This team has never, in all its long years on the league, made an impact, and whith their best players out, this trend will likely continue.

Doriath: Another old favorite, but they have a real chance. Some fans remember the time Melian removed her girdle in the middle of a game.

Shire: Something has sparked this unassuming little team, and the return of Gandalf has only incresed their chance. They could definetly go all the way.

Mordor: A team whith a bad reputation for trying to weaken the other teams. If they aren't disqualified, they could do well.

Fangorn: wooden you know it, these old guys will succeed in anything they get around to doing.

Numenor: some say the second-age finals were there downfall, and they certinly over-reach themselves often enough.

Angband: Known for playing dirty. romored to have secret dealings with Mordor and Tol-In Gaurhoth. Can win honestly. Generally considered the favorite to win.

Narogothrond: Definitely a threat, but they may be neglecting their defence.

Moria: If their players are ever convinced to co-operate, they could be unbeatable. However, they are not unbeatible now.

Tol-In-Gaurhoth: Another team plagued by rumers. Apperantly, they have the other teams' cobblers on the take.

Arnor: some say this team is gone, I say otherwise.

Alqualonde: Generally considered to be full of players the other teams don't want.

Barrow-Downs: This team exemplifies the hocky saying "it's not enough to score goals, you have to be able to talk about it". They're serious contenders.
