Hmmm . . .
I realised I'm the only one who got all four predictions correct.
Maybe putting them in the bracket is a charm?

The semis take place in Minas Tirith. Nogrod will be posting the first semifinal. If it's up when I'm off work tonight then I will try and get the second semifinal up before I go to bed.
And just so you are aware, though two teams will be eliminated from the championship hunt, no individual players can be eliminated from the fantasy competition this round as there is a championship game and a bronze medal game. So all four teams will play again, giving you a chance to rack up points.

I'll be trying to write the first match this evening, but because Legate is coming over today I'm not going to make a novel out of it but maybe a bit more modest one...
Sorry. I just didn't have time yesterday to write it...

I haven't had much time either, so don't worry about it. I've been busy preparing for my trip.
Everyone, now that you know the setup for the championship and bronze medal matches, start making your trades in the usual manner, and make predictions as well. Since this is the final round we'll extend the deadline to give everyone some time, and also to give ME time to leave town and find internet at my destination and get in contact with Nogrod again. Let's set the deadline at three days rather than two- so at this exact time three days from now. Some of you still have a shot at earning bonus points, so make your picks and hope for the best.

Well, it seems my trials with non-beasts and non-beauties give me tough luck...
So let's see... hard as it seems to be to find them from the remaining teams. -- Idril (Gondolin) ++ Lhunardawen (T-I-G) One beauty found and getting rid of and obsolete player! Perfect. I will now join Nilp in his hopes that the day is near Lhuna will give all Arda a show they won't forget. But then I will have 5 players from the T-I-G and two of them forwards... against Armenelos... So to be able to fit Lhuna into my team: -- Nogrod (T-I-G) ++ Fëanor (Formenos) Everytime I've had myself in my team I have performed badly. So I seem to be neither a beauty or a beast then. But I'll try Fëanor then this last round - he will probably fit both descriptions better than any of my other possible choices. One more choice then and two obsolete ones... -- Balrog #4 (Angband) ++ Caranthir (Formenos) Trusting here Lommy about Caranthir being the choice of fitting both descriptions then... That will result in: Beasts and Beauties (Nog) G- Huan (Formenos) DF- Tar Telperien (Armenelos) DF- Cailín (Tol-In-Gaurhoth) DF- Elenwë (Túna) DF- Caranthir (Formenos) MF- Lhunardawen (Tol-In-Gaurhoth) MF- Aredhel (Formenos) MF- the phantom (Tol-In-Gaurhoth) FW- Fëanor (Formenos) FW- Ar Pharazon (Armenelos) FW- Sauron (Tol-In-Gaurhoth) Then the predictions. Armenelos will beat Tol-In-Gaurhoth in the bronze match So if Armenelos wins I will have at least this right... if T-I-G wins I might get a few points from my wide variety of players on the field... Formenos beats Hithlum in the final First I thought I'd cling to the same tactics as in the bronze-match but c'mon now... Great heroes they are - the Hithlum guys - but Huan and Aredhel have been the backbones of my team all along the tournament, so let them win and let me believe in it!

Announcement
The finals will be held in the great city of Menegroth for the reason that it's good grounds looking at the teams, because of the prowess showed by their own team in the first rounds and because of the pure splendour of the place worth the finals.
The results of the games (the final, the bronze-match) will be posted tomorrow after the deadline for changes tp has set. After that I will be able to be online on Sunday for some last result-statistics and the phantom may post some of those before that if he has a chance to do that during his trip. So the final results about the phantasy-championship will come... eventually.

I realised I had no space in the brackets to put predictions in, so:
Armenelos < Tol-in-Gaurhoth Formenos > Hithlum Plus this for my sister (I thought she'd do it herself. :/ ) Quote:

Well, I'm back!
My vacation was lovely, but awfully tiring at the same time. Thanks to Nogrod and Skip for keeping everything rolling. As soon as I have everything here at home caught back up I will get to work on final tallies and such.

Sooo...are we doing this again next year? I want to see if my strategy was actually good, or if I was just consistently lucky.
