Well, that's it folks! The semi-finals are...

Angband versus Hithlum

Armenelos versus Mirkwood

You know what's weird? Two of last year's semifinal teams are back, and really it's kind of like three because Hithlum and Formenos from last year kind of got mixed together. And Angband and Hithlum matched up in the playoffs last year too.

You know what's even weirder? Boromir correctly predicted the scores of 7 of the 8 teams!! The only one he had wrong was Valimar. Serious kudos, Boro. That's got to be some kind of record.

Anyway, I'll get all the official points and whatnot up either late tonight or tomorrow morning. Feel free to make your predictions and TWO allowed trades. The star limit is NINE.

And the first pair will take place in Gondolin and the second one in Rivendell... the teams and their fans are there already so why bother changing the venues?

Heh, I have four players left in my team (Huan (GK), Balrog #5 (DF), Ar Zimrathan (DF) and Aredhel (FW)) and can change only two of the obsolete ones... Nice to know we can have nine stars... I'm never going to make it even near that limit...

The only thing I'm happy with is Fëanor's -1! Hah! There you have it!

Wow...that is good but I'd still rather have a team that would have gotten more than 15 or 16 pts in this round when I started it with a clear advantage over most players.

How does the team get 3 goals, but it's leader and captain wind up with only a yellow to show for it?

How about going 0-4 on the predictions and losing all active players from the roster
