And surely we need the Balrog vs the Witch-King, just to keep Mansun happy?

Ummm...moderation prohibits me from commenting further.

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

Tentative brackets:

1. Lobelia vs. Bilbo
2. Samwise Gamgee vs. Farmer Maggott
============================
3. Eowyn vs. Shelob
4. Balrog vs. Witch-King.
============================
5. Eomer vs. Haldir
6. pteradactyl vs. Gollum
============================
7. Tom Bombadil vs. Galadriel
8. Saruman vs. ??????
============================
9. Gimli vs. Legolas
10. Beorn vs. Boromir
============================
11. Bard vs. Thranduil (a dispute over a certain treasure)
12. Smaug vs. Ioreth (perhaps not so much a mismatch, Ioreth
could talk anyone to death)
============================
13. Ugluk vs. Grishnakh
14. Gorbag vs. Shagrat
============================
15.
16.

How about Azaghal vs Smaug? I'd be interested to know how people think that fight might turn out.

Tuor in Gondolin · 08-28-2008, 03:28 PM
