GROUP STANDINGS
GROUP A (Moria)
----team----points---goal diff
Angband.........4.........+1
Moria.............3...........0
Minas Tirith.....2...........0
Alqualonde......1..........-1
This group is still very much open. All four teams have a shot at not only advancing, but claiming the top spot in the group! It should be an exciting final round.
GROUP B (Mirkwood)
----team----points---goal diff
Nargothrond....6...........+2
Mirkwood........3...........+2
Arnor..............3............0
Helm's Deep....0...........-4
Nargothrond has clinched the playoffs, but not the top spot yet. Helm's Deep is eliminated from playoff contention. Mirkwood and Arnor will play with the winner getting into the playoffs. A tie and Mirkwood will advance.
GROUP C (Isengard)
----team-----points---goal diff
Minas Morgul....4..........+3
Hithlum...........4..........+1
Gondolin..........3..........+1
Isengard..........0..........-5
Isengard is out of contention here. A win or tie by Hithlum over Isengard clinches the playoffs. The winner of Minas Morgul vs Gondolin will claim the other spot. If it's a draw, Minas Morgul advances. The top spot is up for grabs.
GROUP D (Erebor)
----team----points---goal diff
Eregion..........6............+3
Erebor............4............+2
Osgiliath.........1............-1
Mordor............0............-4
Mordor is out of contention. Osgiliath can advance if they beat Mordor and Erebor loses to Eregion, but the margin of at least one of the games would have to be more than one goal. If the points and goal diff are tied, then it comes down to highest number of goals scored. Currently Erebor leads by one. Eregion has already clinched the playoffs, but not the top spot, for Erebor can take that by beating them.
GROUP E (Lothlorien)
----team----points---goal diff
Armenelos.....6............+4
Dor-Lomin.....3.............-1
Lothlorien......1.............-1
Doriath..........1.............-2
Armenelos has clinched the playoffs, and can only lose the top spot by losing to Lothlorien and Dor-Lomin beating Doriath and the two goal differentials adding up to at least five goals. Dor-Lomin can clinch the playoffs with a win. If they tie with Doriath, Lothlorien can take the final spot from them by beating Armenelos. If Dor-Lomin loses they are eliminated, and the spot will go to Doriath, unless Lothlorien defeats Armenelos by a margin equal to or greater than Doriath's margin over Dor-Lomin.
GROUP F (Shire)
----team----points---goal diff
Edoras..........6...........+3
Shire............2............0
Taniquetil......1............-1
Dorthonion....1...........-2
Edoras has clinched the playoffs and top spot. The Shire can clinch the second spot by beating Edoras. If Dorthonion loses or ties, they are eliminated. If they win, they claim the spot unless Shire also wins. If Taniquetil wins, they claim the spot, unless Shire wins. If Taniquetil and Dorthonion tie, then Shire can clinch the spot by tying Edoras or winning. If they lose by more than one goal and Taniquetil ties, Taniquetil gets the spot.
GROUP G (Tuna)
-----team------points----goal diff
Tuna..................6...........+6
Tol-in-Gaurhoth...4...........+2
Gondor...............1............-2
Brethil................0...........-6
Tuna has clinched the playoffs, but the top spot can be taken from them by TIG if they lose to them. Brethil is eliminated from contention. Gondor can claim the second spot by beating Brethil and Tuna beating TIG, so long as the total margins of the matches add up to more than four. TIG clinches the top spot with a win, the second spot with a tie, and if they lose they can still hold the second spot if their goal diff remains higher than Gondor's. The current spread is 4 goals.
GROUP H (Bree)
----team----points---goal diff
Valimar..........6..........+5
Romenna.......6..........+2
Bree..............0..........-3
Amon Sul.......0..........-4
This is the only group that already has two teams eliminated. Bree and Amon Sul will play each other for pride, and Valimar and Romenna will play for the top spot. A tie and Valimar will hold the top spot.
