Great to have extra coverage on board, Kuru!

And as our third officially announced new player, you sir are granted a spot on the Tol In Gaurhoth squad!

Blind- the tournament will move at a speed that suits the participants and writers while trying to drag as little as possible. Basically, once the tournament officially starts we writers will move it along as quickly as we possibly can while giving everyone reasonable opportunity to make trades. If there is a time period where you are without internet, you can request another participant to make necessary trades for you (such as in the playoffs when you own players that are eliminated, someone will replace them for you).

(If you're simply wanting a rough idea, two years ago the first match of group play was posted 6/8 and the final was posted 7/11. Last year the first match was 4/12 and the final was 7/8. So, as you can see- very very different. We like to keep things moving, but we'll do what we have to do to make sure that everyone that wants to play is able to.)

To Blind (and all newcomers): In practise it means that when the results of one round of games are released there will be a few days for the participants to make their trades - and then the next round games are released...

So there will be kind of deadline-days like every fourth or fith day (or something along the lines) - so you don't have to be active every day, just check the thread in every few days to see when the next deadline for trades is and how your players have fared - and take a look who to trade in for your weakest links.

And like said, to those who wish for more, there will be all kinds of statistics and analysis (for getting a better grasp of the team's qualities) and interviews, background stories - and hey, yeah, Kuru's yelllow papers (for entertainment).

For those who wish to delve deep into this there is also the chance of creating your own media-outlet and start contributing to either the stats & analysis or journalistic / human interest / scandal storylines...

Yeah, and it means I can argue with someone other than Nog for once.

Stay tuned for the Lothlorien press conference!

We still don't know which player will round out the Tol In Gaurhoth squad. Anyone want to step up and solve the matter?

How about another of our potential new players that hasn't posted yet- Mnemo? Pitch? Going to vote?

Someone needs to break the tie.

In the meantime, I shall cast a vote for-

I've already used my five votes so I can't help, but I'd remind the next voter that it is a question of our goalkeeper, so pick carefully!

I was considering to (and thanks for the invitations), but I see the matter has been resolved before I got home from work today - which is just as well, as I still don't have more of a clue about football than Sam Gamgee of tight-rope walking. I'll follow the thread as best I can and maybe jut in with a comment à la Formy from the tribune now and then, but that's about the best I can promise this year. Let's see what the future brings.

If a lack of football knowledge was a disqualifying factor, I surely wouldn't be doing this.

Last thing I heard from tp is there are 4 rounds planned and he is waiting to hear from some others who might meander in since they expressed interest to join. If after 3 rounds, it looks like all the ends are tied up and everyone's ready to go then the tournament will start after 3 friendlies.

(Which reminds me tp, Glirdan says he's too busy, haven't heard from wilwa yet).

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!

Haven't been on the Downs in weeks and nearly missed this - but I'm in! My record in this tournament is rather poor so looking to step up this year.

Thumbs up Me change:

--Huor [Anfauglith]
++Orodreth [Tirion]

-- Shadowfax [Lothlórien]
++Draugluin [Angband]

-- Carcaroth [Doriath]
++Oropher [Wilderland]

-- *Glorfindel [Eregion]
++ *Hûrin [Doriath]

-- Ulfang [Angband]
++ Balrog #3 [Angband]

-- Gimli [Lothlórien]
++ Saruman [Misty Mts]

Now it's:

GK Orodreth [Tirion]

DF Asfaloth [Eregion]
DF Draugluin [Angband]
DF **Fingolfin [Anfauglith] (C)
DF Oropher [Wilderland]

MF *Tar-Míriel [Númenor]
MF *Hûrin [Doriath]
MF Balrog #3 [Angband]
MF Lúthien [Doriath]
MF Saruman [Misty Mts]

FW Tevildo [Angband]


EDIT: Changed formatting - the old one confused even myself. I'm supposed to post an ArdaCup.com Stats Report article to point out certain stats (like best goalkeepers/best team defence and yellow cards, among others) but it's still too cumbersome and I can't be spending all day in front of a spreadsheet.

For anyone wishing to earn double points from one of their players, please remember to designate your team captain with-> (C). For example, look two posts up at Nog's team (he has assigned his GK Tar Atanamir as his captain).

Oh, are we allowed three players from one team? I thought we were limited to two at the start.

You can have three players from the same squad. That's the max.

I'm picturing a scene that involves division by zero, a great cataclysm, and Eru suddenly saying 'Time for bed!' to Manwë and the Valar, who's now looking glum cos playtime's over.

Boots Oops

I apologize for my sudden and unexplained vanishing. My computer got a virus at the beginning of this week and its been no small feat putting the pieces back together.

I will be posting my picks shortly. If nobody posts between now and then I will just append it to this post.
