It's a desparate fight! Whoever breakes the tie should watch his/her back

(I also included next to each team a couple words to describe their style. "Attacking", "defensive", "conservative", and "lockdown with lead" should be easy to understand. "Shifting" means they more commonly move up back players for offensive support and move back front players for defensive support. "Balance" on the other hand means they don't overhelp on either end. "Flexible" denotes situational changes in style based upon whether they're behind, tied, or leading. "Pressure" indicates they persue the ball aggressively and don't allow easy possession anywhere on the field. "Counter-attack" suggests that they often try quick transitions up to their front players when recovering possession, meaning long balls from the defense and deep runs from the forwards to instigate breakaway opportunities. "Possession" means that the team keeps opponents from scoring by owning the ball themselves and generally builds up attacks carefully with quick passes.)

To accidently coincide with the release of the rosters, the first installment of The Underground has been posted.

the phantom · 06-14-2011, 12:36 PM

The Arda Cup Committee has tried their best to make most of the groups fairly focused geographically so as to allow for as many fanbases as possible to travel to see their team play.

(In case you don't know how the tournament works, every team plays each team in its own group and the two teams from each group that perform the best advance to a single elimination playoff.)

GROUP A
Doriath
Himring
Shire-Bree United
Tirion

GROUP B
Anduin
Esgaroth
Misty Mts
Wilderland

GROUP C
Angband
Angfauglith
Hithlum
The Downer

GROUP D
Barad-Dur
Eregion
Eriador
Gondor

GROUP E
Mordor
Nargothrond
The Forest
Tol In Gaurhoth

GROUP F
Mithrim
Numenor
Tol Eressea
Westernesse

GROUP G
Beleriand
Gondolin
Pelori
Valinor

GROUP H
Dunharrow
Lothlorien
Minas Morgul
Minas Tirith

If you have any questions regarding any of these rules, just ask. I promise you it's not as complicated as it may look at first glance- just ask the players from last year.

You will select your team members from the rosters available here, and will be awarded points according to how your players fare in their tournament games. Please put a bolded -> C after one of your players. That means that player is your team captain, and will gain (or lose) double point value.

You must have one GK (goal keeper) and then you can use one of the following formations found below. (Formations listed as DF-MF-FW)

5-4-1
4-5-1
3-6-1
4-4-2
4-3-3

In other words, if you choose 4-4-2, then you want to place 4 defenders, 4 midfielders, and 2 fowards on your team along with the goalie of your choice.

In addition, you may not choose more than 3 players from one single team.

Rules for gaining points are as follows.

Goal by FW- 4 pts
Goal by MF- 5 pts
Goal by DF- 6 pts
Assist- 3 pts
Shutout, GK- 4 pts
Shutout, DF- 4 pts
Shutout, MF- 1 pt
Allows 1 goal, GK- 2 pts
Allows 1 goal, DF- 2 pts
3 GK saves- 2 pts
Yellow Card- -1 pts
Red Card- -3 pts

And just like last time you can gain extra points for pretourney and playoff predictions!

Once again we're going to have a star system for drafting your team. Players with a star are considered to be solid players with a higher liklihood of scoring than other players at that position. Players with 2 stars are the cream of the crop, and are the most likely to gain points at the position. The team an individual plays on and his/her name recognition and past performances can contribute somewhat to star status. There is no guarantee that star players will score more- it's just more likely.

The team that you select may not exceed FOUR total stars at this time. (This number will increase as the rounds go by.)

Note on the rosters- If MFs or DFs are listed lower down the roster (towards the FWs), then they are more likely to find themselves involved in the offense than those MFs or DFs listed higher up towards the GK. Of course, there is no guarantee MFs listed closer to FWs will score more, but their chances are generally better.

Note on trades- After the first two rounds of group play, you can draft a completely new team. Unlimited trades. After the third and final round of group play, you are allowed seven trades. After the first playoff round, you are allowed only three trades. After the quarterfinals and semifinals you are allowed only two trades. Do not under any circumstances edit your old teams once play has started. If you want to trade someone, make a new post stating the trade and list your new team. (If any of that is unclear, watch the way other players do it and you'll get the idea very quickly.)

All right- here are the predictions that can gain you bonus points at the end of the tournament. They can make a huge difference in your point total if you happen to hit them!

10 POINT QUESTIONS

Who will score the most goals in the tournament?

Who will have the most assists in the tournament?

Which team will win the tournament?

5 POINT QUESTIONS

Which goalkeeper will score the most total phantasy points in the tournament?

Which defender will score the most total phantasy points in the tournament?

Which midfielder will score the most total phantasy points in the tournament?

Which forward will score the most total phantasy points in the tournament?

GROUP PREDICTIONS

Predict the winner and runner up from each of the eight groups. Predicting the winner is worth 3 points. The runner up is worth 1. If you select the correct two teams but have their positions reversed, you will be awarded 2 points. So that's a possible thirty-two points right there. Don't skip this!

PLAYOFF POINTS

During the playoffs you will be able to gain points for correct predictions, but obviously you can't do anything with that until much later. I'll remind everyone when it is time.

Heh- excellent interview with Gollum there.

And as far as Sauron's wife.... hmmm... Is it the most interesting news of the day, or the most fictional? Sometimes it's difficult to tell things apart.

mormegil · 06-14-2011, 01:41 PM

The Arda Cup Committee has tried their best to make most of the groups fairly focused geographically so as to allow for as many fanbases as possible to travel to see their team play. (In case you don't know how the tournament works, every team plays each team in its own group and the two teams from each group that perform the best advance to a single elimination playoff.) GROUP A Doriath Himring Shire-Bree United Tirion GROUP B Anduin Esgaroth Misty Mts Wilderland GROUP C Angband Angfauglith Hithlum The Downer GROUP D Barad-Dur Eregion Eriador Gondor GROUP E Mordor Nargothrond The Forest Tol In Gaurhoth GROUP F Mithrim Numenor Tol Eressea Westernesse GROUP G Beleriand Gondolin Pelori Valinor GROUP H Dunharrow Lothlorien Minas Morgul Minas Tirith __________________ the phantom has posted.
