Arda Cup Football 2010 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Let the countdown begin!

Last year's tournament was quite exciting, culminating in a thrilling last-minute trick penalty kick by Armenelos to upset the pre-tournament favorite Hithlum.

In the Phantasy contest, the ending was equally exciting, with Skip Spence mounting a furious comeback and overtaking Boro and Nog in the final round of play.

There have been some major roster shake-ups in the offseason (our crack reporting team will be telling about those later), and this year is shaping up to be even more entertaining than last, but the only sure way to guarantee fun is to get as many people playing as possible!

Last year's participants were-
Boromir88
Eomer
Eonwe
Gwath
Hakon
McCaber
Morm
Nerwen
Nogrod
Shasta
Skip
TGEW
Wilwa

We're hoping to have all of you back, and we'd love to see a few new faces! Tell your friends! Tell your enemies! Tell those people that you don't really talk to!

Skip, Nog, and Boro are likely to be with us again, providing their thrilling match reports and expert editorials on behalf of Arda Kicker Magazine and MESPN, but as always you are invited to give your own take on the upcoming games and provide recaps from your own point of view.

The teams and rosters will be released in the coming days, and the Phantasy Competition thread will start soon after that. That is where you will pick players for your team and make trades and such.

(If you have the time and wish for a memory refresh, here is last year's tournament thread and last year's phantasy thread. Feel free to PM me with questions. I rarely bite.)
