Uric would be cool as well, however, HRH Duke Sean, myself, and Uther are trying to reign together!!!!
Now I just need to figure out who I need to kneecap to win

That's a deep, deep list, filled with great guys, and fabulous consorts.
I am especially fond of Kenna Aherne.
I can see a few ways it could go very right, and I am at a loss for how it could go wrong. Glean Abhain will be well served.
If I had to pick a favorite, I would go with my housebrother Stephan of Durham.
This list is in about ten days. I am very, very sorry to miss it.
I want to see DA's take on this one very much.

Aengus, Aengus and Aengus.
Final four - Aengus, Havordh, Ashi and Camric. Winner - The Swamp Gorilla...
I owe Aengus a good tunic anyhow.

I agree with your list except for the outcome...I see a Havordh/Camric final and I am pulling for Camric on this one.
Although, as has been already said, Uric would make a phenomenal sovereign....he's my dark horse on this list. An awesome final would be Camric/Uric!

My final four pick is Havordh, Rey, Aengus and Camric.
My house, however, has nine people either fighting or being fought for in this list, so I predict it will be a pretty good day.

No way in hell to predict where this one's going.

Wow, what a nice list this will turn out to be.
Some thoughts......
Duke Sir Havordh Aetarbani - Has he lost a Crown List that he has fought in Gleann Abhann?
Count Sir Aengus MacOwein, Graf Sir Uther von Ziemer, Count Sir William fitzHughe de Cambria - All are REALLY tough fights and they've each proven they are "closers" for Crown Lists.
Sir Ashikaga Hiromoto - Always a tough fight and was in the finals last spring.
Sir Uric and Sir James - both are able to go far!
Look for Mika’il al Rashid to do well, fighters may underestimate his abilities.

I agree with Jon. James has just been knighted so that psychological factor may push him higher up the bracket? Pairings is really going to determine this one. Long fights will take their toll too. I have my favorites of course but, I am thinking one of the Count or Earls will make it or I think Sir James maybe the spoiler this one....

IIRC he has never lost a fight in Crown List. This is a DEEP list. We're only lacking a few people having the entire list of heavy hitters in the Kingdom fighting this one.
This should be a List to remember. I'm tempted now to drive down...

I don't keep up his stats, you could possibly say Havordh hasn't gone to the looser bracket in a GA Crown List but I know he lost one of the fights in the final 2 of 3 to me during his first GA Crown List.

Why on Earth would you want to do that to poor Rey? Hasn't he suffered enough?

The pairings will make all of the difference in this tournament.
Should be a great day of fun fights.

This is a fantastic list. There are no bad fighters in it, and a handful of extraordinary ones. Discounting myself for obvious reasons, I would think Havordh and Camric have the best shot, but the list is so deep that certain matchups might take either one out.

If that's how you put it, I hope Rey wins -- otherwise I'll have to bring out my pitchfork sig line again...

Haha, Is that why you kept Winning Crown over there?

Was starting to Feel Bad for Ceddie. I can't Believe you have Odo as your DEM, you've gone completely off the deep end!

Yea, 20 people, 10 on each side with the lowest precedence choosing first. That would put you as the last to choose James.. Assuming they choose to keep it this way.

Hi everyone, here are some odds!
Duke Sir Havordh Aetarbani 3-1 Seriously? The biggest problem is that he isn't fighting for MG, that's sort of like MJ for Spiderman. He will be the winner. I am pretty sure. Sorry everyone else.
Viscount Sir Rey RiBeaumont 8-1 Rey is awesome. He has a really good chance. Unfortunateely it is not as good a chance as Half Orc has.
Sir Uric Blackoak 12-1 Come on Uric. You are so close. Pull through for DA. And maybe for a whole lot of other people who want to see you win.
Count Sir William fitzHughe de Cambria 14-1 He is a count. So that should mean that he is pretty good. Which he is. And he has won one before, so I firmly believ he should be able to win again, which he will eventually. I think though, as long as Havordh isn't in it, which unfortunately he is.
Sir James the Holy 18-1 James is my evil opposite. He is not evil. Certainly not as evil as me. He is +4 against evil creatures, meaning I need my sword of sharpness to beat him. And only when I am in lich form which is sweet.
Graf Sir Uther von Ziemer 22-1 Graf is a count too, but German sounding. Like The Red Baron, or maybe that guy who Tom Cruise played in Valkyrie. German titles are so awesome sounding. When I get my court Duchy, I will totally be a German sounding Duke. Then I will join a cool German household, like the Bloodguard, and have an awesome moustache and monocle. Sweet. And play the Scorpions. Andreas will be so jealous.
Count Sir Aengus MacOwein 27-1 NOt much to say. Here are his odds.
Sir Robert Gethin Albrit 32-1He hs been working really hard. I think he will do well, but isn't ready to win this time.
Viscount Sir Caillin Macleod 37-1 There can be only 1 Macleod!!!!!! I don't think it is u this time. Connor yes, with his sword from Japan. Don't lose your head, and you might win the prize. Watch out for the Kurgan, I mean Half Orc. He is evil and powerful.
Sir Ashikaga Hiromoto 42-1 He gets 42 to one. 42 means something or so I am told.
Baron Dafydd ap y Kynith 50-1 Is at 50 to 1.
Over 50-1
Baron Fergus O’Kell
Lordship John of Widcombe
Master Stephan of Durham
Lordship Mika’il al Rashid
Lordship Blaec le Dering
Lordship William of Glen Lyon
Lordship Caedmon of Jorvik
Lord Settimio d’Olivio
Lord Quintus Julius Bellator
Enjoy!
