I think that we could assign a captain by default for the players who won't notice this change right away by choosing the player with the most stars, furthest down the list. My team's default captain using this system would be Fëanor.

Captain - Feanor

-MF- Tuor (Dor-Lomin)
-MF- Earendil (Eregion)
**FW- Tom Bombadil (Bree) (C)
*FW- Cirdan (Alqualonde)

I already chose him in the last post. Just thought I'd make my list more updated (by adding the "(C)".

The Lynch Mob
 

Oh.

GK– Orodreth (Nargothrond)
DF– Indis (Tuna)
DF– Elenwe (Gondolin)
DF– Balrog #5 (Angband)
MF– Arwen (Lothlorien)
MF– Melkor** (Valimar) [Captain]
MF– Finarfin* (Tuna)
MF– Gil Galad* (Eregion)
MF– Thorondor* (Taniquetil)
MF– Hurin* (Angband)
FW– Nerdanel (Tuna)

I'm making tactical changes for one round... ( I basically like to stick with my choices but this time I will be experimenting with this "changing-stuff").

So:
replace Huan (GK - Hitlum) for mormwolf (T-I-G)
replace Saeros (DEF -Doriath) for Elenwë (Gondolin)


And as it seems that the T-I-G team will just run over Brethil, then Nogwolf will be my team's captain... :rolleyes:


Resulting in:

Noggerball

GK mormwolf * (T-I-G)

DF Elenwë (Gondolin)
DF Celebrimbor * (Eregion)
DF Elenwë (Gondolin)
DF Ar Zimrathan (Armenelos)

MF Varda (Taniquetil)
MF Idril (Alqualonde)
MF Glaurung * (Nargothrond)

FW Aredhel (Hithlum)
FW Miriel ** (Tuna)
FW Nogwolf * (T-I-G) C

Blahhh... I seen to have Elenwë twice in my team! :o

Just a moment and I'll come clean with it.

Valid list for the second round of play... (replacing the "double-Elenwë" with Elenwë and Indis)


Noggerball

GK mormwolf * (T-I-G)

DF Elenwë (Gondolin)
DF Celebrimbor * (Eregion)

FW Nogwolf * (T-I-G) C

Btw. what are the rules on the captain? Can one change it whenever one wishes without a penalty of any sort - in the "changes- interval" to be sure?

Maedhros will captain my team. My changes are not very major, as I believe in some of these players and I'm willing to give them one more game to shine.

-- Atanatar I (Gondor)
-- Balrog #5 (Angband)

++ Nazgul #2 (Mordor)
++ Elladan (Eregion)

For a final roster:

The Nameless Ones (McCaber)
*GK- Melian (Doriath)
-DF- Nazqul #2 (Mordor)
-DF- Elfwine (Edoras)
*DF- Turgon (Gondolin)
-MF- Elladan (Eregion)
*MF- phantomwolf (TIG)
-MF- Bard (Erebor)
-MF- Tuor (Dor-Lomin)
*FW- Maedhros (Hithlum)
*FW- Elendil (Amon Sul)
*FW- Glorfindel (Eregion)

Is it legal to change the team name? If so, then I shall be The Next-to-Last Alliance.

Yes, I suggest that we may change captain in any transfer window.

Do the stars awarded in Kicker Magazine equal points in our teams, btw?

Two more trades.

DF
Nienna* (Taniquetil) for Balrog #5 (Angband).

MF– Melkor** (Valimar) [C]
FW– Nerdanel (Tuna)

Nope.

They are purely subjective views of AKM reporters looking at how the matches went and who were the stars in the games! :)

There will be no prize awarded and they do not affect the outcome of the tournament here in the 'Downs but are there for entertainment-reasons only...

But surely the player having AKM-star winners in her/his team can boast some honour and glory! :rolleyes:

Drop Bombadil and Fili. Add Celebrimor and Ar Pharazon. Change Celebrimbor to captain.

I have a few questions about the tournament. How exactly is it decided which team wins? Also why did Phantom start running the tournament? I am wondering cause it looks like someone named Sleepy started the whole tournament back in 2005.

Thanks for the cameo, Phantom! :D It made my day.

Hakon- the tournament is simulated after I've done a few.... um... tweaks to the teams. ;)

Yes, I think Sleepy started the whole football tournament thing, but if I'm remembering correctly 2007 was the first time we actually had a competition and such with points. It was very fun, but due to scheduling conflicts the organizers (Sleepy and Arctic) were never able to finish it. It particularly made me sad seeing as I was running away with the points lead. :p

The next year some of us wanted to do it again, so we did, simple as that. Sleepy is out of the mix now primarily because we were never able to contact him and he hasn't been seen on this site for two years.

And Shasta- glad you liked it. :smokin:

Well you do a great job running the tournament. Now I am wondering about those tweaks. Hmm.

You know what would be great, at the end of each game a summary of how many points each player scored, not goals, points. That way we can have a 'real-time' tally of how we are doing that week...or does that 'real-time' scoring require the premium account and I must pay a fee?;)

Thank you, Hakon, and it certainly couldn't be done without the writing and planning of Nogrod and Skip as well as the participation of those with teams in the mix, including you. :)

Heh heh... yes Morm, real time points results are for gold-level members only. It's $29.95 per month. :p But seriously, we haven't been doing that simply because it creates more work for the writers who have their own teams to manage and such. Currently I try to do the complete list after all the games are posted, but there's nothing stopping you from looking at who you have and figuring up your points on a piece of paper if you can't wait. ;)

I wouldn't mind keeping track of the points after the matches are in, I am pretty much doing that already. Although, tp, if you could post your complete list again after Rd 2, so I can check to make sure I'm keeping track of the points properly. I am not much of a math person (recently I found 3+4 to be rather difficult :rolleyes: ). Anyway, I could post the individual points after the matches come out, no problem...and I won't charget anything to the tournament committee either ;)

Wow what a power offensive lineup I've got!

-GK- Elros (Romenna)
-DF- Nazgul#1 (Minas Morgul)
*DF- Celebrimbor (Eregion) (C)
-DF- Indis (Tuna)
-DF- Elfwine (Edoras)

-MF- Arwen (Lothlorien)
-MF- Narvi (Moria)
**FW- Miriel (Tuna)
**FW- Feanor (Hithlum)
*FW- Ar Pharazon(Armenelos)

For now I am just dropping Theoden and adding Elros.

I have other things to change on my team but I do not have time right now. Also are we allowed to change who our captain is?

Ok, let's try this for now.

GK – Orodreth (Nargothrond)

DF – Elfwine (Edoras)
DF – Indis (Tuna)
DF – Ar Zimrathan (Armenelos)

MF – Hurin* (Angband)
MF – Earendil (Eregion)
MF – Phantomwolf* (TIG)
MF – Tar Miriel (Romenna)
MF – Glaurung* (Nargothrond)
MF – Melkor** (Valimar)

FW – Feanor** (Hithlum) (C)



So, dropping Elenwe, Niniel, Arwen, Finarfin, Gil Galad, Thorondor, and Nerdanel, and adding Elfwine, Ar Zimrathan, Hurin, Earendil, Phantomwolf, Glaurung, and Feanor.
