Hmm. You know, after looking at the matches, I'm actually pretty happy with my team.

Let's use that last star, though...

--Witch King (Eriador)
++*Ancalagon (Angband)

And Curufin will step down from the captainship this round.

[the phantom]

The playoffs have started.

If you made no trades during the break and wish to now, you are allowed to exchange players that were eliminated in group play for players on playoff teams that have yet to play (and still within the 7-trade 6-star limits of course).

[satansaloser2005]

Curse my ill evening. Oh well. I was going to leave Smaug anyway, so when I finish this I'll go see if that was a smart decision.


GK Carcharoth (Angband)
DF Radagast (Rohan)
DF *Morgoth (Angband)
DF Malbeth (Eriador)
DF Grishnakh (Mordor)
MF *PhantomWolf (TIG)
MF *Beleg (Doriath)
MF Yavanna (FC Valinor)
FW *Smaug (Erebor)
FW Thuringwethil (Angfauglith)
FW *Ancalagon (Angband)


--Grishnakh
--*PhantomWolf
--Thuringwethil

++Shadowfax (Rohan)
++*Gandalf (Rohan)
++*Curufin (FC Val)


This means I'm putting a lot of eggs in just a few of my Cupkicks. I hope this wasn't a bad choice....

GK Carcharoth (Angband)
DF Radagast (Rohan)
DF *Morgoth (Angband)
DF Malbeth (Eriador)
DF Shadowfax (Rohan)
MF *Gandalf (Rohan)
MF *Beleg (Doriath)
MF Yavanna (FC Valinor)
FW *Smaug (Erebor)
FW *Curufin (FC Valinor)
FW *Ancalagon (Angband) (C)



Now it's off to check out the first match, and then back to bed.

[Galadriel55]

The heck?!? MT beat Angband?

[Eönwë]

I will be gone for the rest of this, so, assuming Nilp's brackets:

Eriador vs Minas Tirith
Erebor vs FC Valinor

And so: FC Valinor vs Eriador

Real Valinor vs Rohan
ACB vs SBU

And so: Real Valinor vs ACB

So an all-Valinor final, and I think Real will win it.


My team after this round:
GK *Huan (FC Valinor)
DF Shadowfax (Rohan)
DF Gildor (SBUnt)
DF *Tilion (Real Valinor)
DF Ecthelion (AC Beleriand)
MF Idril (FC Valinor)
MF Valandil (Eriador)
MF Bard (Erebor)
FW *Glorfindel (Eriador)
FW *Bombadil (SBUnt)
FW **Feanor (ACBel) C


My team after next round:
GK *Huan (FC Valinor)
DF *Gil-Galad (Eriador)
DF *Maglor (FC Valinor)
DF *Tilion (Real Valinor)
DF Ecthelion (AC Beleriand)
MF Idril (FC Valinor)
MF Valandil (Eriador)
MF Bregolas (ACBel)
FW *Glorfindel (Eriador)
FW *Miriel (Real Valinor)
FW **Feanor (ACBel) C

I can't have a team for the final, can I? Because of the the 3-player rule.

[the phantom]

Eonwe- after the quarters we will allow 4 players from a team, so you can take that into account when posting your team.

Also, feel free to leave conditional instructions, such as, "If team X wins add players A and B, but if team X is defeated instead add players C and D from team Y."

Angband's got some serious penalty kicking problems...their fault for having a cat

[the phantom]

Here’s an update on the 100 Million Dollar competition.

Shasta and Nilp are tied for the lead with 122 points, but Gwath and Eonwe are hot on their heels. Those four still have 8 of their 11 players active. Some people are down to a single player at this point, so needless to say scoring is on its way down.

Following each team is the total thus far in parenthesis and the number of active players remaining on the roster. (Eliminated players should be in italics.)

Well, crap.

[satansaloser2005]

There is still hope! For the rest of us, that is.

[Nogrod]

Well, there are quite a few of us in need of some considerable changes in our teams after that one...
