I'm afraid you're having five stars in your team Galadriel... just drop one.


Like Boro said, there will be four rounds of friendlies unless all the players who are anticipated to join are gathered and ready after the third round of friendlies. Like we saw Eomer enter just today (yay!).

I hope we can kick the tournament to start around midsummer - is there a better date to start a tournament?

Look forwards to some nice analysis, hot gossip and all that jazz - and produce some yourselves meanwhile!

Hope you stick with four rounds. Four is such a lovely number for analysis.

(The astrologers, some of whom happen to minor in numerology, are having a heated debate with the mathematicians in our staff. The coin-flippers are heckling by the sidelines.)

In its latest posting the Underground debuts its new reporter, Ugluk, former footballer and now resident jock of The Underground.

Serious Post:

Is there going to be a clear announcement and countdown to when the Cup starts? I'm following the theory of waiting until all the friendlies are done (and all the good players taken) before making my selections and I don't want to accidentally not make any selections at all because the Cup started suddenly.

I think there will. tp will be announcing the beginning after everyone is on board and the friendlies are played. Hopefully around the Midsummer - a great date to start I'd say.

But it will be announced to be sure - and those not done their predictions and made up their teams will be pushed to do it before we start.

I'll refrain form choosing as well before the friendlies are over. Why not take in all the info you can have on board before making choices?

All those who have made picks / predictions alredy, I think you are free to change any of them until the tournament itself begins.
