And now all there is left to do is award points for pre-tournament predictions.

TEN POINT AWARDS:
Congratulations to Fea/Nienna, Eomer, Morm, Nerwen, Skip, McCaber, and Sally for correctly predicting the most goals for a player (Turin, Feanor, & Maeglin scored 6).

Congrats to Gwath and Shasta for predicting Nerdanel of Tirion to have the most assists.

Congrats to Boromir for predicting Gondolin to win the championship.

FIVE POINT AWARDS:
Congrats to no one for predicting Rog of Vinyamar or Ungoliant of Utumno to be the goalkeepers to score the most phantasy points.

Congrats to Morm and Gwath for predicting Curufin as the leading defensive point earner.

Congrats to Eomer, Morm, Gwath, and Skip for picking Melkor as the leading midfielder for phantasy points.

Congrats to Eomer, Gwath, Wilwa, Nerwen, and McCaber for choosing Feanor to have the most phantasy points for a forward.

So if we add up all of the additional points, here’s what we end with......

A hearty slap on the back to Boromir for bringing home the gold in what was a very very competitive race! The two former champs, Skip and Gwath, finished in second and third, and Nog and Nerwen were right on their heels. As a matter of fact each of those four was only one point behind the other!

And of course there were many others in the competition. Some got off to slow starts and finished stronger, while others started fine but tailed off at the end. That might win some leagues, but with the teams that were in this competition having more than one off round was a killer. Better luck next time to everyone. Perhaps next season will be your breakthrough.

Eye Individual round winners...

Let's break down the points and see who won the most from predictions as well as in each round.

PRE-TOURNEY GROUP PREDICTIONS- Gwath (27)

PRE-TOURNEY SCORING PREDICTIONS- Gwath (25)

1ST GROUP PLAY- Nogrod (58)

2ND GROUP PLAY- Nerwen (43)

3RD GROUP PLAY- Gwath (47)

1ST PLAYOFFS- Boro (48)

QUARTERFINALS- Sally (42)

SEMIFINALS- Boro (36)

FINALS- Boro (43)

So, very well done Gwath on the predictions- 52 points altogether!

A pat on the back to Nog for the largest single point gain of the tournament- his whopping 58 points in the first round!

As you can see, our champ (Boro) was the strongest finisher, winning three of the final four rounds.

Fourth?

Well that suits me right. I was too much out in the last rounds - and anyway my initial predictions were soo wrong that I earned to drop in the end - like my favourites to the World Cup Germany dropped out...

But it was fun anyway. I hope I can be more consistent the next year.

Let's end with a High-note though... so please answer the question below (into the thread: my PM's will be overcrowded as I need to arrange stuff with meeting people while visiting the US...)

Arda Cup is...

a) as important as the soccer World Cup.
b) a game for the geeks only.
c) fun but depressing.
d) a chance to show my allegiances.
e) ? (your own description)

The winner of this questionnaire will receive a free gift from the AKM!
