Many non-film characters have made their way into the final 16 combatants!<\/p>\n<p>Here are your Round 3 Match-ups&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Shire Division<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Looks like we have a high chance the winner out of The Shire Division will be an elf! The Lady of the Light, and number one seed, (1) Galadriel has a match-up of mind-blowing proportions as she faces the definitive antagonist of Arda, (4) Morgoth. Helped a bit by his prevalence in Peter Jackson&#8217;s\u00a0<em>Desolation of Smaug<\/em> tease, (7) Thranduil now has a significant challenge as he faces J.R.R. Tolkien&#8217;s favored elf princess (6) Luthien.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Erebor Division<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Cinderella story continues as (16) Pippin has made it past Dwarven favorite Fili. But will that journey come to a dramatic end as he faces fourth seed (4) Beren? But far more interesting is the match-up between (6) Elrond and (7) Aragorn. The soon to be King Elessar better not underestimate the Lord of Rivendell.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Mordor Division<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The two baddies from Tolkien&#8217;s most popular works (<em>The Hobbit<\/em> and <em>The Lord of the Rings<\/em> respectively) will face off in Round 3! (1) Smaug the Magnificent hopes to defeat the all seeing eye of (4) Sauron! <em>(Someone make up a cool graphic for this one and we&#8217;ll post it on FB)<\/em> In the other match-up, two popular characters from <em>The Hobbit<\/em> butt heads as (3) Thorin Oakenshield, most likely helped by his RA army, will face everyone&#8217;s favorite mysterious shape-shifter, (2) Beorn.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Angmar Division<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Could this division be any more exciting? (1) The One Ring has made it past Frodo Baggins, but will it defeat the King of Arda (12) Manwe, in hopes to have a potential re-match with (3) Gollum?! Gollum shouldn&#8217;t count those eggses before they hatch though. He needs to make it by (2) Gandalf the Grey. Will Gandalf&#8217;s sympathy for the wretched creature be his downfall? We shall see!<\/p>\n<p>Voting starts right now and will run until March 28th at 10pm ET.<\/p>\n<p>[<a href=\"http:\/\/www-images.theonering.org\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/2013-middleearthmadness-bracket-round3.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"no-lazyload\">Download Division 3 Bracket<\/a>] [<a title=\"Middle-earth March Madness 2013 \u2013 Round 2 \u2013 Vote Now!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/2013\/03\/22\/70095-middle-earth-march-madness-2013-round-2-vote-now\/\" target=\"_blank\">Round 2 Results<\/a>] [<a title=\"Middle-earth March Madness 2013 \u2013 Round 1 \u2013 Voting Begins!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/2013\/03\/19\/69995-middle-earth-march-madness-2013-round-1-voting-begins\/\" target=\"_blank\">Round 1 Results<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Shire &#8211; Round 3<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>March 26th &#8211; March 28th 2013<\/em><br style=\"clear: both;\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; padding: 5px;\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\" charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"http:\/\/static.polldaddy.com\/p\/6992533.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<noscript><a href=\"http:\/\/polldaddy.com\/poll\/6992533\/\">(1) Galadriel vs. (4) Morgoth<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<div style=\"float: left; padding: 5px;\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\" charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"http:\/\/static.polldaddy.com\/p\/6992600.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<noscript><a href=\"http:\/\/polldaddy.com\/poll\/6992600\/\">(6) Luthien vs. (7) Thranduil<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<br style=\"clear: both;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Erebor &#8211; Round 3<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>March 26th &#8211; March 28th 2013<\/em><br style=\"clear: both;\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; padding: 5px;\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\" charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"http:\/\/static.polldaddy.com\/p\/6992605.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<noscript><a href=\"http:\/\/polldaddy.com\/poll\/6992605\/\">(4) Beren vs. (16) Pippin<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<div style=\"float: left; padding: 5px;\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\" charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"http:\/\/static.polldaddy.com\/p\/6992606.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<noscript><a href=\"http:\/\/polldaddy.com\/poll\/6992606\/\">(6) Elrond vs. (7) Aragorn<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<p><br style=\"clear: both;\" \/><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mordor &#8211; Round 3<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>March 26th &#8211; March 28th 2013<\/em><br style=\"clear: both;\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; padding: 5px;\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\" charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"http:\/\/static.polldaddy.com\/p\/6992609.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<noscript><a href=\"http:\/\/polldaddy.com\/poll\/6992609\/\">(1) Smaug vs. (4) Sauron<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<div style=\"float: left; padding: 5px;\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\" charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"http:\/\/static.polldaddy.com\/p\/6992613.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<noscript><a href=\"http:\/\/polldaddy.com\/poll\/6992613\/\">(3) Thorin vs. (2) Beorn<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<p><br style=\"clear: both;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Angmar &#8211; Round 3<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>March 26th &#8211; March 28th 2013<\/em><br style=\"clear: both;\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; padding: 5px;\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\" charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"http:\/\/static.polldaddy.com\/p\/6992617.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<noscript><a href=\"http:\/\/polldaddy.com\/poll\/6992617\/\">(1) The One Ring vs. (12) Manwe<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<div style=\"float: left; padding: 5px;\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\" charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"http:\/\/static.polldaddy.com\/p\/6992621.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<noscript><a href=\"http:\/\/polldaddy.com\/poll\/6992621\/\">(3) Gollum vs. (2) Gandalf<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Round of 32 is over and we have the Sweet Sixteen line-up for Middle-earth March Madness 2013!&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":85,"featured_media":69987,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"Middle-earth March Madness 2013 - Round 1 - Let the voting begin!
