Goalkeeper = 6 points Defence = 2+2+2-1 = 5 points Midfield = 3+0+5 = 8 points Forwards = 4+4+(2x8) = 8+16 = 24 points 6+5+8+24 = 43 It's nice to see the game becoming tighter along with the matches... some of the last games will be just killers to predict and getting predictions wrong means having redundant players in one's team not picking you points, while correct picks might earn you hugely - so I'd say everything's open...

Oh right. Thanks. As I have said, I suck at maths. Somehow I did not realise that tp did not write the double in the list of numbers, but still counted it that way. Now it adds up. Good.

GK *Huan (FCVal) DF Balrog #5 (Hithlum) DF Aragorn (Eriador) DF Balrog #4 (ACBel) MF *Yavanna (FCVal) MF *Beleg (Hithlum) MF Hador (Hithlum) MF Arveleg (Eriador) MF Aegnor (ACBel) MF NerWight (TIG) FW *Curufin (FCVal) (C) Predictions: Arnor vs Valimar Angband vs AC Beleriand Tirion vs Real Valinor Misty Mts vs FC Valinor Barad-Dur vs Eriador Hithlum vs Nargothrond Gondolin vs Tol-In-Gaurhoth Anduin vs Armenelos I didn't have to make any trades, so I think we're just going to let the team be for now. How many from each team can we have on our squad again?

You can have three players from a team, but once the semifinals arrive you can have four.
You are allowed four trades before the quarters, four trades before the semis, then three trades ahead of the finals. If your captain is eliminated and you don't assign a new one, the lowest active player on your roster becomes your default captain. If you miss making both trades and predictions in a round you are allowed an extra trade the following round.

This is purely a hypothetical question, and I don't plan on pulling this stunt anytime soon (because, for one thing, I don't think the extra trade can offset the lack of prediction points), but . . . can you miss the trade deadline on purpose and get that extra trade?

Sorry all, I've had some computer/posting issues and now my desktop has died one me and that held basically all of my Arda Cup stuff. I've got my laptop but it's still going to take me several hours since I also have some unexpected duties...here I thought I could enjoy the first college football Saturday and finish my matches.
Anyway, I'm posting the TIG-Gondolin score to get it up for you and will fill in the story sometime later today. Thanks for waiting patiently.

You are allowed seven stars (and one white tree).
You are allowed four trades. You can gain bonus points (2 per match) for correct predictions in the quarterfinals, which are as follows... AC Beleriand vs Valimar Real Valinor vs FC Valinor Eriador vs Hithlum Armenelos vs Tol-In-Gaurhoth (Note: If Morm or Wilwa show they are allowed an extra trade this round.)

We've hit a bit of a delay here as our writers are dealing with a host of complications- surgery, internet outage, moving, new work, etc. We will be moving again as soon as possible.

You are allowed eight stars.
You are allowed three trades. You can feature four players from a team instead of three. You can gain bonus points (3 per match) for correct predictions in the semifinals, which are as follows... AC Beleriand vs FC Valinor Hithlum vs Tol In Gaurhoth (Note: If Morm or Wilwa show they are allowed an extra trade this round.)

'Mind the gap' count: sixteen.
GK *ShastaWolf (Tol-in-Gaurhoth)
DF BoroWolf (Tol-in-Gaurhoth) DF Balrog #4 (AC Beleriand) DF Maglor (FC Valinor) DF *Fingolfin (AC Beleriand) MF Tar-Míriel (Armenelos) MF *Phantomwolf (Tol-in-Gaurhoth) MF *Glorfindel (Eriador) FW **Fëanor (AC Beleriand) (C) FW *Curufin (FC Valinor) FW Nerdanel (Real Valinor) --MF Tar-Míriel ++MF Argon --MF *Glorfindel ++MF Hador --FW Nerdanel ++FW **Túrin Atashi no Negai S GK *ShastaWolf (Tol-in-Gaurhoth) DF BoroWolf (Tol-in-Gaurhoth) DF Balrog #4 (AC Beleriand) DF Maglor (FC Valinor) DF *Fingolfin (AC Beleriand) MF Argon (FC Valinor) MF *Phantomwolf (Tol-in-Gaurhoth) (C) MF Hador (Hithlum) FW **Fëanor (AC Beleriand) FW *Curufin (FC Valinor) FW **Túrin (Hithlum) Predictions Traditionally, semifinals is where I come a cropper, turning from contender to Arsenal. So if any of you want to win this, all you have to do is make sure you don't do worse than I.

Is it telling that over 50% of my points come from betting on Balrog#4 and Balrog#5? Well, if only I had such good eye for all folks, not just the black horses... I mean... whatever.
Need to do a major overhaul. Guess I need to figure out how to make it as major as possible with only three trades... --GK Tar-Atanamir --MF Ingwë --FW Arien ++GK *Huan (FC Val) ++MF *Beleg (Hithlum) ++FW *InzilWolf (TIG) Therefore, we have: SALT AND SMOKE (AND CANINES) GK *Huan (FC Val) DF *Tilion (Real Val) DF Balrog#4 (AC Bel) DF Balrog#5 (Hithlum) DF Estë (Valimar) MF Tar-Míriel (Armenelos) MF *Beleg (Hithlum) MF *Glorfindel (Eriador) FW *Curufin (FC Val) FW **Fëanor (AC Bel) -> C FW *InzilWolf (TIG) Predictions: Hithlum over TIG FC Val over AC Bel

Nice to see the 'Downs working again... and the points, the points... d'uh!
But after Nilp there are four players competing for the second place within 8 points... that's one goal for a captain others don't have or a goal and assist for a midfielder. That's close! Fun.

(I won't even have the benefit of 10 extra points this time, cos Boro [169] and Shasta's [161] $100 million lead are too big for me [147] to catch up.) (Oh, Gwath [148] and Nog [147] are also in the top five. These scores are unofficial, though.)

Off goes:
DF *Tilion (RealV) FW *Arien (Valimar) FW *Miriel (RealV) Bringing in Eönwe, Thuringwethil and Túrin the team will be: Noggportunistics GK Huor (Hithlum) DF BoroWolf (T-i-G) DF Aragorn (Eriador) - redundant DF *Fingolfin (AC Beleriand) DF *Eönwe (FC Valinor) MF Argon (FC Valinor) MF Hador (Hithlum) MF *PhantomWolf (T-i-G) FW **Feanor (AC Beleriand) FW Thuringwethil (T-i-G) C FW **Túrin (Hithlum) And the predictions are as follows: AC Beleriand wins FC Valinor. Hithlum wins Tol In Gaurhoth on penalties. With Nilp having a secure lead and picking up all the "obvious" players to score points I need to gamble with something - which is trusting on Thuringwethil... all or nothing it is then.
