Playoff picture in Mordor coming into focus
MIDDLE EARTH - With just 5 games to go, the possible scenarios for the playoffs have narrowed to a couple of options. While Grey Havens leads Dead Marshes by a single game, putting the Orc Division race in doubt down to the wire, Minas Morgul has secured at least a tie for the Wild Card. So, Numenor will play Minas Morgul in the Fellowship Series unless the Slayers can make up Isengard's 4-game lead in the Troll Division. That leaves a fight between the Stars and the Uruk-Hai for the remaining spot (assuming no tie for the Wild Card). Looking at upcoming games, Dead Marshes may be at a disadvantage--especially since the loss of Mauhur the Looter.
Upcoming games:
Oct 3 - Weathertop at Grey Havens; Isengard at Dead Marshes
Oct 4 - Dead Marshes at Grey Havens
Oct 5 - Minas Morgul at Dead Marshes; Lothlorien at Grey Havens
Oct 6 - Dead Marshes at Isengard; Grey Havens at Misty Mountain
Oct 8 - Dol Guldur at Grey Havens; Misty Mountain at Dead Marshes
