You are allowed THREE trades.

In other words, after you're done doing whatever moving you're going to do, EIGHT of your players must remain the same.

You are allowed EIGHT stars.

****************************
****************************
****************************

Also- make predictions for points once again! Each match is worth two points.

Doriath vs Valinor

Angband vs Eregion

Tol In Gaurhoth vs Westernesse

Lothlorien vs Pelori

And something that phantom pointed out to us...the first line is Nilp's predicted score, and 2nd line is the actual score.

Doriath 4 - Minas Morgul 0
Doriath 4 - Minas Morgul 0

Wilderland 2 - Valinor 3
Wilderland 2 - Valinor 3

Angband 2 - Tol Eressea 0
Angband 1 - Tol Eressea 0

Eregion 2 - The Forest 0
Eregion 3 - The Forest 0

Tol In Gaurhoth 3 - Barad Dur 0
Tol In Gaurhoth 3 - Barad Dur 0

Westernesse 3 - Anfauglith 2
Westernesse 3 - Anfauglith 2

Pelori 1 - Misty Mts 0
Pelori 2 - Misty Mts 0

Lothlorien 3 - Tirion 2
Lothlorien 3 - Tirion 2

You can bet TTN's going to be steaming with this challenge, because that my friend was an impressive round of calling the correct scores.

I have a spy in phantom's house. From the future.

Mwehehe, but seriously, I'm partly giddy, partly sad, that my predictions were so close the first time around. But you're still the defending champ, still the Prince of Predictions, so I look forward to trying to keep up. (I remember your 7/8, which is still more accurate than my 13/16.)

I really really would rather not have got that last one right, though. Finrod. (I had two or three dreams last night where I read that last game, and no matter what they all end up with Tirion losing, haha.)

Brackets and other stuff will be up in an hour.

Thumbs up Predictions are up.

Let's see how close I get this time.



Retaining 4-3-3:
--GK ShastaWolf (Tol-in-Gaurhoth)
++GK *Tar-Atanamir (Westernesse)

--DF Nienna (Pelóri)
[++Nienna (Pelóri)]
[--Elwë (Doriath)]
++DF Celeborn (Lothlórien)

--MF *Finrod (Tirion)
[Atarinya. ]
++MF Ar-Adûnakhôr (Westernesse)

The Numbering Horde
GK *Tar-Atanamir (Westernesse)
DF Draugluin (Angband)
DF Nienna (Pelóri)
DF Celeborn (Lothlórien)
DF **Morgoth (Angband)
MF Ar-Adûnakhôr (Westernesse)
MF *Húrin (Doriath)
MF *Glorfindel (Eregion)
FW Elros (Westernesse)
FW Arien (Valinor)
FW **Túrin (Doriath) (C)

7/8 stars, cos there's no 1-star DF that I can use that I'd want to. (And I've had doubts about Tilion, nyaha.)

EDIT: Nienna stays, Elwë goes--I need two moar Doriath players for next round.

Three trades, eight stars... yes.

But how about the number of the players from the same team?

Oh my, I just noticed you're right Skip. I quickly checked the point totals form last year after the 1st round of playoffs.

Gwath's Lynch Mob was leading then with 194. A score that would put you near the bottom this year! Talk about the competition this year! Fun fun.

This was challenging!

I tried different changes always ending up with either a star too much or a change too much - and in the end I just had to settle with only two changes... if that is good or bad for me, well, we know it in a few days.



-- GK – Shastawolf of Tol-In-Gaurhoth
++GK - *Tar Atanamir of Westernesse

--DF – Kuruwolf of Tol-In-Gaurhoth
++DF – Celeborn of Lothlórien


Noggportunistics

GK - *Tar Atanamir of Westernesse

DF – Malbeth of Westernesse
DF – Nienna of Pelori
DF – Celeborn of Lothlórien
DF – **Melian of Doriath

MF - *Glorfindel of Eregion
MF - Legolas of Lothlórien
MF - *Húrin of Doriath

FW – Elros of Westernesse
FW – *Ancalagon of Angband
FW - **Túrin of Doriath (C)




~*~

Predictions both stated and bolded:

Doriath beats Valinor

Angband wins Eregion

Tol In Gaurhoth loses to Westernesse

Lothlorien is beaten by Pelori

Here's who hasn't made trades/picks yet-
Sally
Galadriel
Gwath
Kuru
Shasta

You still have a bit of time, as The Two Towers Network still has to make their official report, and we'll also set up the quarterfinal host locations a day ahead of time to give you time to read it. But expect me to PM you if I haven't seen your predictions by Friday afternoon, as I imagine the writers will want to get posting before the weekend is over.

The most recent article on the game thread summarizes the chase for the Phantasy Competition Trophy. There's even a few quotes in there. I hope no one feels they were misrepresented.

Thumbs up Quarterfinals line-up changes.

Cancel all my changes save the *Finrod to Ar-Adûnakhôr one. And then:

++DF **Tar-Telperiën (Westernesse)

and

--FW Arien (Valinor)
[Sorry, hun. You're up against Doriath.]
++FW **Fëanor (Lothlórien)

I realised in this tourney that I should never trust my first instincts!

Are you keeping all the stats from years gone by? Could make for interesting reading after the tourney is over!

All I remember for sure is never seriously challenging.

That's a pretty heavy gauntlet you threw down, Boro.

(The Felagundion's still thinking whether to post again or not, cos Tirion's out, Arien looks like she's heading there, and Westernesse won.)

Why no, no he isn't. *blushes* Long morning. I put him in the wrong spot. :/

Put Gandalf in his place and switch in Ar-Adûnakhôr (although I'll think about it a bit more and I may change it).

Eye We have a reaction from the stands.

Lhuna has been following this thread, it seems, as she intimated to me (while we were watching the Philippine team suffer a last-minute defensive lapse against Kuwait in a World Cup qualifier game) and she bears a grudge towards you, phantom. She's still bitter about all those yellow cards she got while she was on the TiG team, lo, three years ago. And for the most ridiculous reason, too.

(I checked it and found out that she got two assists in the course of seven games. Also three yellow cards. I don't know why she's being bitter, though; all I have so far are two yellow cards--oh, and three shutouts, too. Although she does have that bronze medal.)

EDIT: She said she wasn't actually following the thread; she just saw the title and remembered. (Although the fact the she asked me to correct this means that she does read the thread.)

Haha I remember reading that Nilp...needed to make Lhuna wear the Dragon-helm of Hador.

Edit: and I think she scored more points than the nasty, nasty bat...who had like 5-6 cards. Unless if Lhuna couldn't get the most points would have wanted honors of most cards for team wolves, odd ones, and Sauron?

I think she wanted to have better reasons for those cards, like ripping off an opponent's legs.

Hey, wait, you're the head-referee, even back then. This one's totally your fault.

(The real reason she can't join is that nasty boring thing called lack of time.)

++**Feanor
++*TP

GK **Elrond (Eregion)
DF Shadowfax (Lothlorien)
DF KuruWolf (TIG)
DF Malbeth (Westernesse)

White Tree ‎/人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\ Counting the points is possible, if you make a contract with me!

Kuru's in the lead with 25+5, followed by morm (23+5). Nog and Gwath (22+6) complete the top three, erm, four.

Nog hasn't missed a prediction yet (10/10); so has the ArdaCup.com Stats Report (but not me). The Pelóri-Lothlórien game will break that tie.

As for the quarterfinals score predictions: morm 2/4 (the Doriath-Valinor game); Boro 1/4 (Doriath's score); Nilp 0/4.
