Eye trade reminder...
After the third round you will only be allowed seven trades (i.e. four of your players must stay), so you do not under any circumstances want more than seven players on your team in this round whose teams have already been eliminated from advancing. The following teams have already been eliminated-
Misty Mountains
Lorien
Doriath
Wold
Minas Anor

If you're looking for safe picks, the following teams are already guaranteed to enter the playoffs-
Mithrim
Utumno
Valimar
Gondolin
Gondor
Tirion

Eye
Just a couple points of interest- after round 2 of last year's Arda Cup the eventual winner (Skip) was in the back half of the rankings (10th place to be specific).

Nog and Boro occupy the top two spots after round 2, same as last year, and Nerwen is in 4th just like last year.

I think the ongoing "Who killed Lalaith?" debate should provide these two with a useful amount of surplus rage to take out on the opposition. Besides, it fits in well with the overall dynamics of my team, don't you think?

...And I'm totally not doing this just to annoy Urwen. How could you think such a thing?
