TWO TOWERS NETWORK
Boromir the 88th
Two Towers Network had already gone into today, planning on not previewing the Round 4 friendlies. Feeling like most teams will dramatically reel the intensity back so they can go into group play with fresh legs.
Having said that, we were still going to add our opinion, and defense of where teams were ranked after Round 3. Yet, as we were writing in commentary for 27th rank Havens, a wrong key was hit, wiping out all previous information. We had only saved the new Power Ranking list, and not any of the analysis. Needless to say, TTN is frustrated with it staff, because our readers deserve and expect better, than to get no analysis because of getting it wiped out by one swift stroke (yes, apparently there is a Death Star button on computers, blowing up an entire planetary analysis).
We will only be publishing the rankings (and how many spots gained, or lost from the previous ranking. We will make up for this next week, as well as adding offense, defense, and goal-keeping stats into our point-system formula. This way, teams are measured by their results, strength of schedule in the friendles, but also overal statistics.
Again, we are extremely disappointed with ourselves at this happening, and can already see the AKM and TENT vultures circling above on our amatuer error. But, our methods will be proven to be more accurate, in the end.

Power Rankings
01. FC Valinor (3-0-0) - 43.6
(Last Week: #2)
02. Real Valinor (2-0-1) - 39.1
(Last Week: #1)
03. Tirion (2-1-0) - 26.9
We will still make note here, look at how tightly bunched #3-7 are...wow, very very close to call. Almost impossible, even for a computer (No. You can never have too many SW references
)
(Last Week: #8)
04. AC Beleriand (1-2-0) - 26.6
(Last Week: #4)
05. Eriador (2-0-1) - 26.5
(Last Week: #3)
06. Valimar (1-2-0) - 26.4
(Last Week: #5)
07. Erebor (2-0-1) - 26.3
(Last Week: #12)
08. Wilderland (1-2-0) - 24.4
We will note here, Wilderland might be a bit too high (yes even though this is TTN's formula, that does not mean we have to agree with the numbers
). Conceding 3 goals to Misty Mountains is concerning, and they're really benefitting from Erebor's continually winning.
(Last Week: #11)
09. The Sea (0-3-0) - 22.5
(Last Week: #10)
10. Imladris (2-0-1) - 22.1
(Last Week: #13)
11. Armenolos (1-2-0) - 22.0
(Last Week: #6)
12. Angband (0-3-0) - 21.2
(Last Week: #9)
13. Rohan (1-2-0) - 19.6
Concerned they seem to want to play like Valimar, when you pull back entirely for defense you're just asking for trouble, and inviting "bad luck" to beat you.
(Last Week: #7)
14. Anfauglith (0-3-0) - 18.4
(Last Week: #14)
15. Gondolin (1-1-1) - 18.1
(Last Week: #17)
16. Hithlum (1-1-1) - 15.7
(Last Week: #15)
17. Doriath (1-1-1) - 15.2
(Last Week: #18)
18. Nargothrond (0-2-1) - 13.9
Conceding 4 goals in every match so far? Where is the careful and "tough as nails" strategy wise-Finrod is known for?
(Last Week: #16)
19. Arnor (1-1-1) - 13.2
Shot up the most this week, but it's deserved. Gondolin and Eriador can not underestimate this Arnorian team.
(Last Week: #31)
20. Shire-Bree (0-3-0) - 13.1
(Last Week: #21)
21. Anduin (1-1-1) - 12.7
(Last Week: #22)
22. Gondor (0-2-1) - 11.9
(Last Week: #19)
23. Tol-in-Gaurhoth (0-3-0) - 11.3
(Last Week: #23)
24. Misty Mountains (0-3-0) - 11.1
(Last Week: #28)
25. Minas Tirith (0-2-1) - 9.1
(Last Week: #25)
26. Isengard (0-2-1) - 7.9
(Last Week: #27)
27. The Havens (1-0-2) - 6.8
Despite beating Barad-dur, how did the Havens still lose spots? This is what we mean by winning consistently will be the most beneficial to teams. Havens were hurt by their previous losses, and only beats #31 ranked Barad-dur, 3-2. Hence, they still fell a few places.

28. Inter Beleriand (1-0-2) - 5.1
