Well done all, I dub myself King of Mediocrity! I never did too poorly but never did great

Let's break down the points and see who won the most from predictions as well as in each round.

PRE-TOURNEY GROUP PREDICTIONS- Gwath (27)

PRE-TOURNEY SCORING PREDICTIONS- Gwath (25)

1ST GROUP PLAY- Nogrod (58)

2ND GROUP PLAY- Nerwen (43)

3RD GROUP PLAY- Gwath (47)

1ST PLAYOFFS- Boro (48)

QUARTERFINALS- Sally (42)

SEMIFINALS- Boro (36)

FINALS- Boro (43)

So, very well done Gwath on the predictions- 52 points altogether!

A pat on the back to Nog for the largest single point gain of the tournament- his whopping 58 points in the first round!

As you can see, our champ (Boro) was the strongest finisher, winning three of the final four rounds.

Fourth?

Well that suits me right. I was too much out in the last rounds - and anyway my initial predictions were soo wrong that I earned to drop in the end - like my favourites to the World Cup Germany dropped out...

But it was fun anyway. I hope I can be more consistent the next year.

Let's end with a High-note though... so please answer the question below (into the thread: my PM's will be overcrowded as I need to arrange stuff with meeting people while visiting the US...)

Arda Cup is...

a) as important as the soccer World Cup.
b) a game for the geeks only.
c) fun but depressing.
d) a chance to show my allegiances.
e) ? (your own description)

The winner of this questionnaire will receive a free gift from the AKM!

e) I'm on a hot streak and should put some money down on the Netherlands. Since I had Gondolin to win the Arda Cup from the beginning, and Netherlands to win the World Cup from the beginning.

Well done on another great tourney phantom, and to all the writers and players.

Uhm... congrats, Boro. You got lucky!

This is late, 'cause I've been preoccupied– but congratulations, Boro!

And thanks for the game, phantom! (Sorry, still can't rep you yet.)
