I could probably do my trades on Thursday, if you'd be willing to wait. I'm simply too tired today to make sense of much of anything. :/

I was tempted to do more, but only four changes this time. One needs to trust one's choices even if some of them let you down on one round...

-- DF – Carcaroth of Doriath
-- DF – Tulkas of Valinor
-- DF – Tar Aldarion of Tol Eressëa
++ DF – **Melian of Doriath
++ DF – Kuruwolf of T-I-G
++ DF – Nienna of Pelori

-- FW – *Maeglin of Anfaughlith
++ FW – Elros of Westernesse


Noggportunistics

GK – Shastawolf of Tol-In-Gaurhoth

DF – Kuruwolf of Tol-In-Gaurhoth
DF – Malbeth of Westernesse
DF – Nienna of Pelori
DF – **Melian of Doriath

MF - *Glorfindel of Eregion
MF - Legolas of Lothlórien
MF - *Húrin of Doriath

FW – Elros of Westernesse
FW – *Ancalagon of Angband
FW - **Túrin of Doriath (C)



And the first knock-out round winners... putting my money where my mouth is.

Doriath beats Minas Morgul
Wilderland gets beaten by Valinor
Angband beats Tol Eressëa
Eregion beats The Forest
T-I-G beats Barad Dûr
Westernesse beats Anfaughlith
Pelori beats Misty Mts.
Lothlórien beats Tirion

This made me lol.

And TTN's OFF/DEF/GK edge style was a lovely touch, wish I'd done it first.

Anyway, ArdaCup.com Stats Report decided to join the prediction game (even the scores, which looks somewhat similar to TTN's--but! with some crucial differences.) And yes, I've predicted Lothlórien beating Tirion there, even though I chose Tirion to win here. I dunno if this half-heartedness would be enough to shake off my World Cup curse (having rooted for three runners-up in a row) or reality overcoming wishful thinking. Meh, it's only a point against my deeply-held principles.

(Looking at it again, that post seems too long-winded. Ah, well, there's always the terse Felagundion. )

We're willing to wait, but it also takes time to write those things so you can rest assured Thursday is the earliest we could have any match-descriptions coming in (I got the results this morning and have done my first match - but there are still two to go and they take time). I'm probably going to post my first game(s) on Friday and hope to have sent the last on Saturday/Sunday - but it all depends if you all have made your changes and things are ready for it.
