You are allowed THREE trades.
You can have FOUR players from a single squad.
The star limit is TEN.

Finals predictions are worth four points each. Predict the winners-
Doriath vs Tol In Gaurhoth
Angband vs Pelori

Bracket's up.

Hm, there's almost no chance for me to beat Gwath now. Our pre-tourney predictions mirror each other in salient points. (And Tevildo needs two more assists. T_T )

Everything else you'll want and need will have to follow later--off to an interview. (27 millionth time's the charm, right? )

Eye moving along...
All of us writers fell on a rough schedule at the same time, but we're still moving along. There's still five people that need to make trades, and then we'll get on posting an intro to the finals and then the matches themselves.

Feel free to post some articles and such on the game thread in the meantime. All of the sporting papers and magazines ought to have something to say here at the end- high stakes!

Okay, from in the middle of the Finland-Moot... and tooo busy.

Doriath beats T-I-G

Pelori beats Angband (the only possibility to gain points here
...)

I'm actually decently happy with my team, but it could still use a little something extra.

Let's give my new team members a round of applause, shall we?

Doriath to become snacks for the notorious TIG.
Pelori to admit defeat to Angband.

Ah, but don't forget about the pre-tourney predictions for most Phantasy points, goals, etc.
You received 10 points if you had the champ as Doriath, the goal leader as Turin, or the assist leader as Beleg.
You received 5 points if you had the leading Phantasy points scoring keeper as Elrond or Huan, defender as Melian or Beren, midfielder as Hurin or Glorfindel or PhantomWolf, forward as Turin.

Pre-Tournament Points
Wolf Pack 35 (champ, goals, pts GK, pts MF, pts FW)
The Lynch Mob 30 (champ, goals, pts MF, pts FW)
Notorious Nerwenites 30 (champ, goals, pts MF, pts FW)
Bletherin’ Blellums 30 (champ, goals, pts MF, pts FW)
The Numbering Horde 30 (champ, goals, pts MF, pts FW)
The Klong Toey Soi Dogs 25 (champ, goals, pts FW)
Wrath of the Monkey 20 (goals, pts MF, pts FW)
Inzil’s Ignobles 20 (champ, pts GK, pts FW)
Kuru's Scrubs 15 (goals, pts GK)
The Cupkicks 15 (pts GK, pts MF, pts FW)
Unnamed Horror 10 (champ)
They Have a Cave Troll 10 (pts GK, pts FW)
Noggportunistics 5 (pts FW)

So, after factoring in those points, here are the final FINAL points standings for this year's Arda Cup.

Total Points
The Lynch Mob 396
The Klong Toey Soi Dogs 355
Bletherin’ Blellums 353
The Numbering Horde 352
Noggportunistics 346
Wolf Pack 340
Notorious Nerwenites 336
They Have a Cave Troll 322
Kuru's Scrubs 320
Wrath of the Monkey 314
Unnamed Horror 292
The Cupkicks 287
Inzil’s Ignobles 231

Congratulations to Gwath! He is the first person to win two tournaments here on the Downs. Whatever combination of strategy, skill, and luck he possesses, it's proven golden once again.

Oh, nothing to do with you of course, sir. The "luck" was more a reference to poor luck experienced by others that hurt their chances against an opponent like you that luck never impacts in any way.

Perhaps next year you would be willing to author a small strategy column at the start of each round, eh?

(Or would you deviously use the column to encourage the competition to make incorrect selections? )

Manwë's such a choker. T_T

Ah, well, despite that, I'm still offering my service as a game writer for next year (depends on how busy I'll be then, of course.)

I'm a bit out of it (the ending of Angel Beats is pretty potent stuff), so my post-tourney ArdaCup Stats Report will have to come much later.

Ara, phantom-kun. I should have the same pre-tourney prediction pts as Gwath (I did check that before the last round), and you didn't put in my pts for phantasy FW.

(I'm still in fourth, though. Albeit with a one-point gap between me and cousin Eomer.)

Ah, well, someone had to be last. I wonder if it would have made a difference if I'd have figured out earlier I could use players already selected by other Downers.

Congrats to Gwath, and thanks to all who worked so hard and made this so much fun. I fully intend to get in on it again next year.

If anyone needs proof the writers have no idea what they're talking about and know no more than anyone else, just look at the last to rounds. Really.

Congrats Gwath on being the 1st to 2 wins.

And thanks tp and all participants for making this competition what it is, loads of fun sparring.

We'll soon be working on next year, hope everyone is back again!

Are you serious?

Thanks to all the writers/statistics people! That's a lot of work, and it makes this a lot of fun.

Well done Gwath and thank you for those who take so much time to put this tournament together and administer it. I feel that in the future for it to be allowed I will need a handicap, say 50 points minimum.

Congrats to Gwath, and thanks to all who worked so hard and made this so much fun. I fully intend to get in on it again next year.
Hehe, oops that would have been helpful to know. We've toyed with the idea of being like a normal fantasy competition with a draft, and only 1 person having that player. But organizing such a task would be insane and probably beyond the time of tp.

And that's the idea behind the stars to add some diversity to everyone's team and the star-limit so you can't just pile on all the best at every position. Occassionally though, with the monster performances some players have you see a bandwagoning for certain players like Miriel in 2009, who was just ridiculous scoring, and Turin this year.

I mean sometimes you really have no choice because if someone is performing like Turin or Miriel, in '09, it's more costly to not have them on your team. It makes for interesting dynamics, I had a lot of fun with the massive Miriel band-wagon a few years ago.
