Selecting Your Team
Select your team members from the rosters available here. You will be awarded points according to how your players fare in their tournament games. You must have one GK (goal keeper) and then you can use one of the following formations found below. (Formations listed as number of defenders, midfielders, and forwards, or DF-MF-FW)
You may not choose more than 3 players from one single team (it will be allowed late in the playoffs). Place a bolded "C" after one of your players-> C. This player will be your captain and will earn (or lose) you double points. Some players have stars (*) before their names on the roster. You are allowed a total of FOUR stars on your roster. This number will increase as the tournament advances. Players with a star are considered to be solid players with a higher likelihood of scoring than other players at that position. Players with 2 stars are the cream of the crop, and are the most likely to gain points at the position. The team an individual plays on, that team's philosophy, the player's name recognition, and past performance can all contribute somewhat to star status. There is no guarantee that star players will score more- it's just more likely. If MFs or DFs are listed lower down the roster (towards the FWs), then they are generally more likely to find themselves involved in the scoring than those MFs or DFs listed higher up towards the GK. Of course, there is no guarantee MFs & DFs listed closer to FWs will score more, but their chances are typically better. Note on trades- After the first two rounds of group play, you can draft a completely new team. Unlimited trades. After the third and final round of group play, you are allowed SEVEN trades. After the first playoff round, you are allowed only THREE trades. After the quarterfinals and semifinals you are allowed only TWO trades. Do not under any circumstances edit your old teams once play has started. If you want to trade a player, make a new post stating the trade and list your new team. (If any of that is unclear, watch the way other players do it and you'll get the idea very quickly.) Scoring Points In Games Rules for gaining points are as follows.
Take a blind shot in the dark at these questions, or read the various columns offered by our writers to help you decide how to answer. Either way, luck is involved. But don't skip this- if you happen to have a lucky day, these are worth a ton of points all together. (Just ask Nilp.) 5 POINT QUESTIONS Who will score the most goals in the tournament? Who will have the most assists in the tournament? Which team will win the tournament? Which goalkeeper will score the most total phantasy points in the tournament? Which defender will score the most total phantasy points in the tournament? Which midfielder will score the most total phantasy points in the tournament? Which forward will score the most total phantasy points in the tournament? GROUP PREDICTIONS Predict the winner and runner up from each of the eight groups listed here. Predicting the winner is worth 3 points. The runner up is worth 1. If you select the correct two teams but have their positions reversed, you will be awarded 2 points. BUY A TEAM You can have a total salary of 100 million. The rosters with salaries again is listed here. Put together the highest scoring team you possibly can for 100 million or less. This team will not change throughout the tournament- it's just a one-time deal. At the finish of the tournament we'll see which person's 100-mill squad scored the most, and that person will gain 10 bonus points. Formations allowed are all those listed above, plus 3-4-3. Please use no more than TWO players from one team.

Ze 2013 Arda Cup logo has been unleashed!
Also, Boro and phantom, if you feel you've been misrepresented by the article, you can take it up with TENT's legal department. You do have to submit a complaint form personally, though--their office is somewhere in Ekkaia (dunno exactly where).

I see this year's rosters are not very user-friendly for me, since I have to make decisions. Means, sorry, Lady of the Golden Wood, not on my team this year (not now, at least). There can be only one goalkeeper, and he does not share power. Same goes for Uglúk. A pity. (It's a long journey ahead, though! Things may still change.)
*** Salt and Smoke GK Tar-Atanamir (Armenelos) DF Uinen (The Sea) DF GaladriWight (TIG) DF Radagast (Wilderland) DF *Varda (Imladris) MF Tar-Míriel (Armenelos) MF NogWight (Eriador) MF *Saruman (Isengard) FW Khamul (SBUnt) FW *Scatha (Wilderland) FW *Arien (Valimar) -> C More stuff to follow in the future. P.S. Phantom, regarding typos - I assume "The Downer" equals to what you call in your other lists "The Barrow-Downs"? I suggest for the sake of clarity you unify the naming... P.P.S. And I know I asked about this already last year, but can we change the Captain "free of charge" at any point, or how does it go?

Ah, quite right- it's now "The Barrow-Downs".
And yes, the (C) for captaincy can be shifted at any time (unless games for that round have already started of course).

(Mismatch FTW.)
I'll hold off my other predictions 'til the friendlies are all done, but I'm confident enough with my Matchday 1 squad.
Atashi no Negai GK *Elrond (Eriador) DF Aragorn (Eriador) DF Vana (Valimar) DF Indis (FC Valinor) DF Maglor (FC Valinor) MF Tar-Míriel (Armenelos) MF Ingwë (Valimar) MF *Glorfindel (Eriador) FW Finrod (Nargothrond) FW *Curufin (FC Valinor) (C) FW *Arien (Valimar) (Those little salary increases have made it surprisingly difficult to field a $100 million squad to my liking. I mean, do I drop Eöl for Aegnor (or Angrod), or do I drop Míriel for Nerdanel??? >.< )

Everyone,
There's no need to hurry. There's still a round of friendlies going on, and one more round will come after after that. Then us writers will (probably) post some stats and analysis.(Also, Sally, do you still plan to copy Gwath's team?

I got a bit wordier with the TIG-Havens game than anticipated, but I just had a lot of fun writing the story for that one. Wolves and Wights! Huzzah!
 (And well, I suppose if I thought that was wordy, just wait until I get the TTN shoes on and start writing tourney predictions. )

Starting tomorrow various tournament guides and publication predictions will be posted, so feel free to read those for fun or actually use them to help orient yourself- particularly if you are indecisive on your selections.
The introductions to host sites will begin sometime late next week, followed by the kickoff of the tournament.

The funny thing is, he'll still beat Boro in predicting the outcomes of the semifinals.

Dragoons.
I return with two walls of text. Once I'm done with Group F I'll be enclosing y'all in a cell of text.
('Quick Guide' at the bottom of each team is there for a reason. )Anyway, the true purpose of this post is: Quote:

Group Predictions
GROUP A: Valimar
runner-up: Armenelos GROUP B: AC Beleriand runner-up: Inter Beleriand GROUP C: Real Valinor runner-up: Hithlum GROUP D: FC Valinor runner-up: Isengard GROUP E: Eriador runner-up: Wilderland GROUP F: Nargothrond runner-up: Tirion GROUP G: Angfauglith runner-up: Tol-In-Gaurhoth GROUP H: Anduin runner-up: Arnor Random remark. Let me voice one concern about this year's cup, just from observing the teams. It seemed to me when I was creating my team, and now again when looking at this year's teams more closely, that this year it's much more "biased" towards certain teams' strength than the last year. As in, it seems to me like there's more "disparity" between the teams than there was last year. But since this is only my second year, maybe it's wrong personal impression.

That's part of what makes a Death Group attractive- both the drama within that group and the evenness it brings to the rest of the field. (Thought to be fair, there are only 2 groups this year where I might've felt confident enough to try and put money on the winner. The others would make me too nervous for an actual risk.)
