Here’s an update on the 100 Million Dollar competition.
There was very little movement this round, so the leaders look the same. Sitting behind the leader is Gwath, then Shasta and Eonwe, and then Boro. The leader is of course Nilp- though he didn't have the quality round this time so his cushion isn't as big headed into the finals. Team Atashi no Negai (Nilp) GK Carcaroth (Angband)- 12 DF Rúmil (Real)- 11 DF Asfaloth (Eriador)- 11 DF Imlach (AC Bel)- 12 DF Uldor (Angband)- 2 MF Argon (FC Val)- 12 MF Beren (AC Bel)- 24 MF Galadriel (Wilderland)- 11 FW Glorfindel (Eriador)- 25 FW Arien (Real)- 26 FW Curufin (FC Val)- 26 (172) 6/11 Gwath GK Marach (AC Bel)- 22 DF Asfaloth (Eriador)- 11 DF Rumil (Real)- 11 DF Uldor (Angband)- 2 MF Beren (AC Bel)- 24 MF Arveleg (Eriador)- 17 MF Pallando (Valimar)- -1 MF Yavanna (FC Val)- 18 FW Miriel (Real)- 21 FW Finwe (Tirion)- 11 FW Curufin (FC Val)- 26 (162) 6/11 Shasta GK Huan (FC Val)- 20 DF Asfaloth (Eriador)- 11 DF Rumil (RealV)- 11 DF Felarof (Rohan)- 13 DF Elwing (Havens)- 1 MF Arveleg (Eriador)- 17 MF Gandalf (Rohan)- 11 MF PhantomWolf (TIG)- 10 FW NerWight (TIG)- 11 FW Miriel (Real)- 21 FW Curufin (FC Val)- 26 (152) 4/11 Eönwë GK Huan (FC Val)- 20 DF Gethron (Hithlum)- 2 DF Gil-galad (Eriador)- 19 DF Rumil (Real)- 11 DF Butterbur (SBUnt)- 2 MF Beren (AC Bel)- 24 MF Figwit (Imladris)- 1 MF Telchar (DwUnt)- 3 FW Glorfindel (Eriador)- 25 FW Bombadil (SBUnt)- 18 FW Feanor (AC Bel)- 25 (150) 5/11 Winter Is Coming (Boro) GK Voronwe (Sea)- 6 DF Uldor (Angband)- 2 DF Felarof (Rohan)- 13 DF Malbeth (Eriador)- 17 MF Beruthiel (BDur)- 6 MF Duilin (Gondolin)- 12 MF Arveleg (Eriador)- 17 MF Phantomwolf (TIG)- 10 FW Arien (Real)- 26 FW Finrod (Nargothrond)- 15 FW Eol (AC Bel)- 20 (144) 4/11 Galadriel GK ShastaWolf (TIG)- 8 DF Rochallor (AC Bel)- 15 DF Asfaloth (Eriador)- 11 DF Caradhras (Isengard)- 6 DF Namo (Valimar)- 18 MF Ulrad (AC Bel)- 8 MF Nienor (Hithlum)- 2 MF Galadriel (Wilderland)- 11 FW Mablung (Doriath)- 12 FW Finwe (Tirion)- 11 FW Arien (Real)- 26 (128) 4/11 Nogrod GK Manwë (Valimar)- 12 DF Rochallor (AC Bel)- 15 DF Araphant (Eriador)- 13 DF Uldor (Angband)- 2 DF Beechbone (Wilderland)- 1 MF Argon (FC Val)- 12 MF Nessa (Real)- 8 MF Elwë (Wilderland)- 12 FW Finwë (Tirion)- 11 FW Miriel (Real)- 21 FW Eöl (AC Bel)- 20 (127) 5/11 $100 Million Special (McCaber) GK Carcaroth (Angband)- 12 DF Guillen (Nargothrond)- 0 DF Tar Palantir (Armenelos)- 0 DF Oropher (Wilderland)- 2 DF Felarof (Rohan)- 13 MF Beren (AC Bel)- 24 MF Nienor (Hithlum)- 2 MF Haleth (Inter Bel)- 3 FW Curufin (FC Val)- 26 FW Miriel (Real)- 21 FW Witch King (Eriador)- 18 (121) 3/11 Eomer GK Aradan (Hithlum)- 8 DF Snowmane (Rohan)- 12 DF Gothmog#2 (BDur)- -1 DF Gwaihir (Erebor)- 11 DF Grishnakh (Mordor)- 1 MF Beren (AC Bel)- 24 MF Nienor (Hithlum)- 2 MF Celebrian (Valimar)- -1 FW Feanor (AC Bel)- 25 FW Celegorm (FC Val)- 17 FW Shelob (Mordor)- 11 (109) 3/11 Victory at a Price (Nerwen) GK Carcharoth (Angband)- 12 DF Elwing (Havens)- 1 DF Asfaloth (Eriador)- 11 DF Oropher (Wilderland)- 2 MF Morwen (Hithlum)- 3 MF Barahir (Nargothrond)- 4 MF Eomer (Rohan)- 6 MF Idril (FC Val)- 8 FW Gwindor (Nargothrond)- 6 FW Curufin (FC Val)- 26 FW Arien (Real)- 26 (105) 2/11 Monkey’s Dream Team (Morm) GK Elros (Imladris)- 14 DF Asfaloth (Eriador)- 11 DF Beechbone (Wilderland)- 1 DF Ulwarth (Angband)- 3 MF Thorin (DwUnt)- -2 MF Tar Aldarion (Sea)- 12 MF Figwit (Imladris)- 1 MF PhantomWolf (TIG)- 10 FW Miriel (Real)- 21 FW Turin (Hithlum)- 15 FW Shelob (Mordor)- 11 (97) 2/11 Kuru’s Bought & Paid for Offensive Fever Swamp (Kuru) GK Mumakil (BDur)- 4 DF Frumgar (Anduin)- 3 DF Borondir (Anduin)- 2 DF Haldad (Inter Bel)- 2 DF Gorlim (Inter Bel)- 0 MF Luthien (Doriath)- 8 MF Yavanna (FC Val)- 18 MF Aegnor (Havens)- 7 FW Finrod (Nargothrond)- 15 FW Turin (Hithlum)- 15 FW Sauron (BDur)- 21 (95) 0/11 So Sweet, and Only 100 (Million) Calories (Sally) GK Carcharoth (Angband)- 12 DF Mouth (BDur)- 0 DF Treebeard (Isengard)- 6 DF Shadowfax (Rohan)- 14 MF Daeron (Doriath)- 7 MF SallyWight (TIG)- 2 MF PhantomWolf (TIG)- 10 MF Denethor (AC Bel)- 6 FW Nerdanel (Real)- 13 FW Thuringwethil (Angfauglith)- 11 FW Maedhros (Inter Bel)- 11 (92) 2/11 Inzil GK Carcaroth (Angband)- 12 DF Tar Palantir (Armenelos)- 0 DF Durin (DwUnt)- 6 DF Caradhras (Isengard)- 6 DF Elwing (Havens)- 1 MF Galadriel (Wilderland)- 11 MF Narvi (MMtns)- 8 MF Idril (FC Val)- 8 FW Tar Minastir (Sea)- 10 FW Saucepan Man (Downer)- 11 FW NerWight (TIG)- 11 (84) 0/11 Legate GK Tar-Atanamir (Armenelos)- 8 DF Tar-Palantír (Armenelos)- 0 DF Brandir (Inter Bel)- 2 DF Fellbeast #1 (Mordor)- -2 MF Rían (Angfauglith)- 0 MF Khamul (SBUnt)- 13 MF Estë (Valimar)- 0 MF Galadriel (Wilderland)- 11 FW NerWight (TIG)- 11 FW Saruman (Isengard)- 4 FW Gothmog (Gondolin)- 18 (65) 0/11

Okay everyone, here it is- the point totals headed into the final round!
As always we lead off with the best alignment one could have had in the last round- The Perfect Team (+6) GK *Elrond (Eriador)- 6 DF *Fingolfin (ACBel)- 6 DF *Gil-galad (Eriador)- 2 DF Malbeth (Eriador)- 2 DF Girion (Erebor)- 2 MF Arveleg (Eriador)- 5 MF Nessa (RealV)- 3 MF Bregolas (ACBel)- 3 FW *Arien (RealV) C- 11 FW *Miriel (RealV)- 4 FW **Feanor (ACBel)- 4 TOTAL = 65 And now for everyone else… Legate had the best round with 45 points. The leaders Gwath and Nilp had subpar showings, but Nilp moreso, meaning that Gwath gained a little cushion on his rival. But... Nog just nabbed the overall lead away from them! After opening in 10th place, then inching up to 9th, Nog moved into 4th in the playoffs, then 3rd, and now finally he sits in first place by a single point. ![]() As always, feel free to check that the values are correct.

You are allowed THREE trades.
You can feature a max of FOUR players from a single squad. You can feature NINE stars. Predictions are worth FOUR points per game. -----The Finals @ Amon Hen----- Bronze Match: AC Beleriand vs Erebor Gold Match: Eriador vs Real Valinor

Huh! Looks like I should have stuck with my original prediction! But that goes for a lot of people, I suppose...

phantom: Gwath has 162 pts in my 100 million table. (I still lead by 10, though, mwahaha.)
So, that round was well bad. Good thing I still have the 100 million lead, as well as the chance of bagging 15 pts from goal, assists, and midfield phantasy leaders (provided Fëanor and Beren does something.) Speaking of phantasy leaders (unofficial, btw--I'm not as fastidious with this one as I am with the 100 million teams and the other stats): FW Curufin -26 [Gwath, Nilp, Shasta] Arien - 26 [no one] Fëanor - 25 [Boro, Eomer, Eönwë] Glorfindel - 25 [no one] DF Fingolfin - 28 [no one has him] Gil-galad - 19 [Eönwë] Tilion - 14 [Shasta] MF Anarion - 29 [no one] Beren - 24 [Nilp, McCaber, Eomer, Eönwë] GK Elrond - 28 [G55, Boro, Nog] Beorn - 24 [no one ![]() Marach - 22 [Nerwen] Anyway, I need a bit of time to think about the next round. I can't rely too much on prediction pts. Counting your eggs and all that jazz.

I'm leaving for vacation in a few hours, but I'll check in whenever I'm able.
Nilp- I got that 162 in there. Legate- If you find what is wrong with the score let us know. Did you remember do add in your +6 for getting the match predictions correct?

Ah yes, of course. I added it only once, forgot to add it twice (for Elrond and then for that).

Okay, so my remaining prediction:
Eriador over Real Val. Though, my feelings tell me it will be the other way around. My calculations however tell me it will be this way. Let's see which one I should've listened to.

On top of getting rid of my last redundant player I'm going to only make one cosmetic change to my team as the extra star allows it. Otherwise it looks like a fairly balanced one going to the final matches, and it has given some nice points to me the last few rounds... "Don't change a winning team", as they say.
![]() -- MF Yavanna (FC Valinor) ++ MF Arveleg (Eriador) -- DF Malbeth (Eriador) ++ DF *Gil-Galad (Eriador) Noggportunistics GK *Elrond (Eriador) DF Landroval (Erebor) DF *Gil-Galad (Eriador) DF *Tilion (Real) DF *Fingolfin (ACBel) MF Arveleg (Eriador) MF Bard (Erebor) MF * Beren (ACBel) FW *Glorfindel (Eriador) FW **Feanor (ACBel) FW *Arien (Real) C Predictions for the games... Real Valinor will become the champions beating Eriador in the final. Erebor fights bravely but ACBeleriand will outshoot them and take the bronze. PS. If I've gotten this far by trusting Arien and Real Valinor against the popular view I just can't bet this the other way... So with them I either win or fall: I also have Arien scoring the most goals of the tournament and Real as the champions in the pre-tournament predictions - we're so near!!! ![]()

I hate how my almost single-minded focus on this Arda Cup thingie prevents me from handing out reps.
I should probably go out and read more threads.

Well, I picked Eriador at the start of the year, so might as well go with them now, even though Real Valinor is playing unstoppable in the playoffs.
So, Eriador defeats Real Valinor 2-2. (Eriador wins shootout 5-4). AC Beleriand defeats Erebor 3-2.

*looks at Cup thread*
Fair enough. Erebor still did quite well this Cup; I rather wish I'd picked them to win originally, rather than the disastrous choice that was B-Dur....

Dear fictional character Glorfindel of team Eriador:
Once upon a time, a certain chap named Lionel Messi scored five goals against a certain team named Bayer Leverkusen. Get a hint. I have the honour of remaining Respectfully yours, Nilpaurion Felagund, desperate for a miracle.

Probably too far behind for a comeback, but I'd be pretty happy if my championship pick at the beginning actually won. Did anyone else pick Eriador, at the start? (I think there were a couple Real Valinor's).
Eriador! Eriador! ![]()

Three– Zil, Nog and I picked Real Valinor. You're the only one to pick Eriador, I think.

Congrats on a tournament well played everyone! I hope you enjoyed the writing and competition. Many thanks to the match writers- Boro, Nilp, Nog, and Shasta, and thanks to Galadriel and the other writers for the network coverage.
![]() As a prize for the winner, Nog, I would encourage everyone to stick some sort of congratulations or praise of him into your Barrow-Downs signature for a few days. Also, the winner is given his choice of two rewards- 1) Automatically earn a spot as a Werewolf on next year's Tol In Gaurhoth team 2) Become a free agent Wight and have the opportunity to negotiate and sign with one of several teams that will approach with offers during the off-season. Whichever prize our champion picks, the unchosen prize becomes the consolation prize, given to the individual that finished lowest in the standings despite remaining active through the end of the tournament. Sometimes it pays to have bad luck, eh Inzil? ![]() And remember to brag about where you finished to anyone that wasn't so fortunate. ![]()

Hip-Hip-Hooray!
![]() This was a tight one! Thanks to everyone playing and making this such a thriller. Special kudos to Sally and Legate who raised their level consistently towards the end - I'll bet you will be tough ones the next season - and of course to Nilp and Gwath for that hair-rising ending! Also a deep bow to the phantom for once again pulling off a great tournament, and Boro especially for the TTN (We here at the AKM love the TTN, let's see again next season)! And thanks to Shasta and Galadriel for your writing - and looking forwards to others joining the "writing squad" the next year! tp: I am actually feeling like choosing the free agency for next season as Nogrod has played for the T-I-G team quite many ears so that could be an interesting change. But as a Wight? Couldn't it be as a Werewolf? ![]()

(I'll leave the what-could-have-beens, like captaining Fëanor instead of Glorfindel, behind.)
First, congratulations to Nogrod for that fine finish--like your team Real Valinor, you were struggling at the starter's block but found your stride near the finish. (Whereas I, like my team AC Beleriand, had a bad semifinals and failed to recover from that.) Also my undying hatred for Gwathagor, in the same way I hate the L.A. Lakers, Manchester United, and the Brazilian national football team--for being so consistently darn good at what they do. Next, thank you the phantom for giving me the chance to write. I had so much fun, even though I felt like running out of gas at times. I had a blast following my AC Beleriand for seven matches, but I reserve much of my delight for the Doriath squad. I didn't even ask for that team, but I enjoyed immensely writing their matches. As a side note, apologies to those who felt weirded out or overwhelmed by my attention to formations and especially the pitch diagrams I introduced this season (and if anyone is wondering where I got them, I refer you to this.) To my fellow sportswriters, Boromir88, Nog, Shastanis Althreduin, and phantom: it was an honour writing with you. Galadriel55, you are perhaps the most astute writer of things almost-football I've ever read--take what you will of that. ![]() ![]() And finally, to everyone who joined the Phantasy Competition: I'll beat you all next year. ++Nilpaurion Felagund Possums. Apologies for the length. Postal possums. Exit interviews, as well as TENT and ArdaCup.com's team of the tourney, to come in a day or two. Post-partum possum. $100 million champion, baby!

Woohoo Nog!!! Congrats! Well done!
Thank you TP for organizing this super fun competition, and Boro, Nog, Nilp, and Shasta for writing tons of game-related writing, statistics, matches, and etc! Quote:

Congratulations Nogrod! And wow...Gwath...wow...I don't know how every year you do it. I know, no comment.
![]() Thanks to all for playing and participating again this year. I really can't wait to see how all this with the salaries and player contracts turns out. I sort of wish it wasn't at an end and I didn't have to wait a year for the next one. *highest accolades to the phantom. Great fun.*

Congratulations, Nog, and thanks to phantom and the commentary team for all their hard work.
