As the seventh Cup comes in sight, the anti-saboteurs of AC VI will soon find that their victory wasn't what they thought it out to be. With the return of familiar faces, and the reveal of other new faces, the Cup will find itself in more dangers than one could ever think.

Unlike it's predecessor , it already knows that it's Serious Business. Show Spoilers. How well does it match the trope? Captain "Poke" Cellers said, "We were passionate about the match but Kreludor were the rightful winners in the end. We still have a bit of time left to cause a few upsets this year! We won! Indeed they did win! Zax Bannet from Moltara shrugged. I'm still trying to get the hang of the tough schedule.

The Altadorians were not idle and purchased some footing after a win in Slushie Slinger. The Rooligans and Darigans were in contentions yesterday when neither team would give up the resistance in Yooyuball and Shootout Showdown. Their clash was so resillient that the Referee declared both games as a Draw. Team Terror Mountain was at least happy with two out of four wins. Now we just need a clean sweep," Rinok Fitel said whilst rummaging around his pockets to hand a packet of throat lozenges to an over-enthusiastic fan.

In your face, space cadets! All was not lost for the powerhouse Virtupets squad, because they delivered a can of pain against the Maraquans in Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise. Yooyuball and Shootout Showdown went to the knights. Ghost of Hubrid Nox: Muahahaha! I am back from the grave looking for Magax to destroy Actually, I'm rather peeved at that Xandra Xweetok girl for impersonating me, framing me for a crime I never committed and getting me killed in the process!

She got what she deserved, being turned into stone and all that, it's just a bit inconevenient with me being dead, is all. Magax was a bit disappointed that he wasn't the one to destroy me, so I kind of feel sorry for him, but at the same time I expected HIM to be the one to do me in, not some sorceress. Anyway, I wasn't dragged from the Haunted Woods to complain about past misgivings, I am here now to do a match report of all things. Hey, maybe my home team should hire me on the squad?

I could zap the opponents with my spectral magic! Oh alright, I'll get on with it Team Haunted Woods versus Team Shenkuu Who said I can't come back as a vengeful ghost? I've spent my whole life trying to get vengeance on Magax before I was untimely snuffed out. Oh, yes, the match. Well, my home team was not so fortunate when Shenkuu continued their reign of upsets by winning Yooyuball and Slushie Slinger, aliong with causing a draw in Shootout Showdown.

I've heard Shenkuu were causing some damage to other teams' statistics of late but I was kind of hoping they wouldn't hurt Haunted Woods' stats too. A shame, but nevermind. Don't worry, I plan to spook a few teams before I leave for the tea party anyway. And with that I must exit dramatically! Have fun in your ghostly life! Turn the shield on your lookup into another way of supporting your favourite team :. The sun is still shining and the days towards the Finals are drawing near No clean sweeps to mention in today's report unfortunately for some.

The VIP hasn't turned up?! This is unbelievable, someone catch Captain Dread, I fear something is amiss. Who were we expecting to come? Oh, well he can look after himself, I don't think that Kiko would have a shot at beating him. Well just grab whoever passes by for their few minutes in the spotlight. We've got to get this report out today, thank you!

Ahem , sorry about that! Anywho, here is our Altador Cup match report for Day 29 June 29th of the tournament. Moltara was barely able to prevent a sweep by drawing in Slushie Slinger. Team Tyrannia and Team Haunted Woods rocked the stadium yesterday but could only manage a draw in Yooyuball! It was getting on my nerves by the tenth goal," Captain Krell Vitor said in exasperation. We took all the support games and the fans were going wild.

Kiko Lake kept afloat by taking the win in Shootout Showdown. Because I'm going to anyway. Team Faerieland , being ones to narrowly dodge complete obliteration, held their own and won Shootout Showdown.

Care for some sprinkles, XL? Speaking of cake, Team Meridell and Team Darigan Citadel still could not settle their differences and share a slice of success in Yooyuball and Make Some Noise, which promptly went to the dark citadel. The knights were just able to skim the frosting off the cake by drawing in Slushie Slinger and Shootout Showdown. I want cake now," Ilsa Ellits of Meridell said longingly.

Ilsa's Captain later resolved that they could have some cake if they win the next match. The pirates of Team Krawk Island were not prepared to sit around waiting for their enemy to pull alongside their ship. Krawk Island went in, swords drawn, to surprise attack Team Kreludor and win Yooyuball.

Sadly those celebrations were cut short when Team Kreludor turned the tables and won all three support games! The scholars from Team Brightvale meant business yesterday as they scribbled down themselves a win in Yooyuball against the hardy Team Lost Desert.

The Desert Squad were not deterred by this statistic and rallied three support game wins in retaliation to this. And now for our mystery guest just, yeah, just drag him in, he was the closest Neopian nearby Let him sit down Yurble Janitor: What am I doing again? I didn't watch it, I was cleaning out the Yooyu Pen. This is a waste of time you know, I have to get some chewing gum off rows F and J in the stadium before the next lot of matches start, it takes five minutes to mix the formula!

I don't have that kind of time Well played to them, I say! I'm the ONLY cleaner here, you know! I never get a break King Altador, I want a raise. And speaking of now I have to get going. Have fun etc. Yurble Janitor bloke! Tomorrow we will be visited by the ghost of Hubrid Nox!

This report has been brought to you by SunnyNeo's Fake Avatars page, because no one can resist those little icons!

Get those games in, folks :. But for now we've got the Day 28 June 28th Altador Cup match report here for your entertainment. It was Team Lost Desert who was doing the scaring against Team Haunted Woods where mummies sent the ghoulish squad back to their mummies!

Team Lost Desert meant business and pulled out all the stops to sweep their opponents across the board. Zo Junior blamed the losses on the mere fact he had a cold. Team Shenkuu ninja'd wins from Team Altador in Yooyuball, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown, insisting that it had nothing to do with the fact that "Trapper" Remis from Altador who had stolen Antola Maeir's left sock before the match had annoyed them, and that the wins were not in spite of this.

Team Altador did return Antola's sock but took the win in Slushie Slinger in place of it. The Moltarans turned up the heat a little and managed to simmer out a draw in Slushie Slinger. Unfortunately Team Moltara wasn't able to wrangle a free meal at Kelp for the loss. Nevermind, better luck next time! The knights do not like to be outwitted and swiped a win in Slushie Slinger. By the end of the match, though, most of the Meridellians were growing sick of slushies and gruel started to look appealing.

Sloth's favourite squad zapped the pirates out of the ocean with wins in Yooyuball and Make Some Noise. Team Virtupets celebrated with some Galactic Space Punch. The Altador Cup Committee ordered the return of the space suits or Team Virtupets would not be able to return home after the tournament.

The prehistoric squad did not run screaming under the moonlight, though, as they spotted an advantage. Tickets to see Gruundo at the Concert Hall, anyone? The fruit from Brightvale was much sweeter than from Mystery Island as Team Brightvale won Yooyuball and Slushie Slinger from the superior fruit energy boost.

Mumbo Pango still demands fruit on Mystery Island, the outcome was good. Captain Dread: Yarrrg! Run fer yer lives. I be Captain Dread. I was the most fearsome pirate on the Neopian seas, yer barnacles. Why am I doin' a match report, yeh ask? Well, I need the publicity So here I am Hmph, me team, Team Kiko Lake , didn't fair too well.

It was nice t' see the Kikos roarin' at the top o' their lungs to draw in Make Some Noise. Arr, good times Time is up? Hey, come back with that piece of paper--! Thanks, Dread Stand out with your team colours on the Neoboards. Feel free to mix and match, and especially to beat those targets! This is just for fun.

Slushie Slinger: Aim for 25 games. Make Some Noise: Aim for 75 games. Shootout Showdown: Aim for games. Slushie Slinger: Aim for 10 games. Make Some Noise: Aim for 25 games.

Take that, you silly Chia! My Lupes will have you for breakfast! Our special guest, Queen Fyora, has decided to do the whole match report herself :o. Take it away, Fyora! This is the report for Day 26 June 26th of the tournament:. It's time for the Day 25 June 25th of the Altador Cup , where there are a couple of sweeps to talk about. Good luck to all teams and have a great day in the tournament! Team Tyrannia gained the first sweep against Team Mystery Island.

Volgoth must offer lots of fruit to Mumbo Pango now after that result Meanwhile, Team Tyrannia celebrated over slices of the Giant Omelette. The Mountaineers needed to cool down after the loss and helped themselves to ice creams. I guess she's trying to avoid cavities. Shenkuu narrowly missed being swept when they drew in Shootout Showdown. Nevermind, we did really well!

Team Altador won Slushie Slinger, which coolled their nerves. That's far more important. This is a victory that will make Neopians think twice when they come to face us," Fiorina of Meridell exclaimed happily. Team Kreludor managed to salvage themselves with a win in Make Some Noise.

The knights were really on form! I think we need to rethink our field tactics," Captain Derlyn Fonnet of Kreludor said in awe. Team Haunted Woods played all kinds of pranks on Team Faerieland to try and throw their concentration off the games, and to some extent it worked! Maybe next year They don't frighten me. They drew Shootout Showdown with the pirates. Kayn Hireck from Brightvale said, "Ah, nothing beats a good upset! Team Kiko Lake had taken no prisoners with a support game sweep!

Now for our special guest VIP, Igneot! It's very generous of His Highness, allowing you access to the Royal Box. Last year we had some very nice entries winning there Welcome to Day 25 of the Altador Cup tournament where there are Weewoos-a-plenty as we all celebrate the th issue of the Neopian Times!

So in light of this milestone, in honour of TNT's long-running newspaper, this match report for Day 24 June 24th is dedicated to the Neopian Times. The first sweep of the day went to Team Kreludor who stopped the presses to maintain their foothold high up in the ranks. He's quite a good writer. It's a good way to wake up," Lyvon Cibaire informed us. Zo Junior of the Spooky Squad said, "Brains is pretty literate, it's scary, especially as he only has a one-word vocabulary!

I personally prefer looking at the comics in the NT. Zo told her to stop being jealous. Keetra whacked him with the thick-paged th issue of the Neopian Times to tell him off. Team Moltara was able to celebrate, too, as they managed to slightly elevate themselves away from last place in the standings with a win in Make Some Noise.

Captain Aldric Beign said, "Our fans have a right to celebrate! We're getting better at the tournament! Ex-Captain "Dasher" Soley dropped in to say hello. Rumour has it it has somethin' t'do with th' five-hundredth issue of the Neopian Times. I like th' Neopian Times Captain Mirsha Grelinek of Shenkuu said playfully, "Dasher wouldn't know good literature if it whacked him upside the head! I enjoy the art of calligraphy, it's quite therapeutic.

Neopians are very talented. He has reason to be upbeat because his team won Yooyuball against Team Darigan Citadel! But the Darigans were not too put-off by this loss because they had a support game sweep to pick them up. Tandrak Shaye shrugged, saying, "Oh well, I only drew it in like five minutes.

There are far more talented artists in the world. Coconut back!!! And it was a colourful finish for the Rooligans as they won Slushie Slinger. Isca: Greetings from Maraqua! I am so, so sorry for not being able to talk in the VIP Booth earlier but I am back to full health now! Congratulations to the Neopian Times for running for issues! That's incredible. Well, it was a wonderful for Team Maraqua as I saw them win Yooyuball in the stadium. I've never seen Yooyuball before but it reminds me of when I used to chase little fish around in the ocean as a child.

I wasn't sure what the Slushie Slinging contest was but apparently that ended in a draw against Team Lost Desert , so that's okay.

My sister Caylis probably predicted the losses but nevermind. I'm sure we will pick up the pace before the Finals! Fairwell, my friends, I've got some shell collecting to do! Thank you, Isca! Next time in the VIP Booth will be Igneot from Igneot's Cave in Moltara. Can't find what you need in the NT Editorials?

Today, just for a change of pace and in light of the new Yooyuball updates, we will be hearing from the goalkeepers of the tournament.

TNT has announced new changes in Yooyuball as mentioned in the New Features today: Yooyuball Update - Based on all your feedback, we've been working on a goalie control toggle for Yooyuball and it's finally ready to go.

We'll be updating the live game later today so you can give it a try. Using it is completely optional, but if you do try it out, please let us know what you think! Yooyuball has been updated to include the goalie controls. Loading the game and sending scores may still be an issue temporarily.

Support Game Problems: As a possible knock-on effect from the Yooyuball updates, there seem to be some problems with gameplay in the support games as well. Hopefully this will be fixed soon. Hello again, time's really racing on so let's not waste anymore time with this match report, I'm pretty sure you've all got those foam hands waiting to be waved around like lunatics!

Cracking on we have a few clean sweeps to talk about, stuff about a place that doesn't exist, and of course the main bulk of SunnyNeo's match report on Day 22 June 22nd of the Altador Cup. The first sweep of the day went to Team Krawk Island who raided the shores of Team Mystery Island and left nothing un-pillaged. Four games to the pirates, Mumbo Pango will not be happy with the beach-dwellers. We allowed him a moment to release his pent-up excitement.

You should've seen me! I was all over the pitch, runnin' and slingling and the fans were there cheering for me It was the best! He told us that we are still his squad and despite the losses, we're his favourites," Salayne Ritad said, definitely showing signs that King Altador's words were having a good effect on their morale. The knights were not afraid of the ghoulish antics Team Haunted Woods got upto yesterday as the stalwart squad marched in to take wins in Yooyuball, Slushie Slinger and Shootout Showdown.

It's really quite incredible. Thanks to them we didn't have to call in a substitute player," Captain Krell Vitor explained, grateful to the fans. It was like a really expensive game of Ugga Smash in the stadium as Team Tyrannia clashed with Team Lost Desert , which left the former champions with some heavy bruising. Lost Desert is lost," Captain Loryche of Tyrannia said knowledgably. The draw in Slushie Slinger is a slight statement, but unfortunately not enough to knock the prehistoric squad's morale.

Qlydae Wegg said, "We'll give them credit for the effort but they have to try much harder to actually beat us. I couldn't be prouder," Mor Gollog stated with a satisfied grin. The loyal squad to Sloth was awarded the win in Yooyuball and also took Make Some Noise for good measure. Terror Mountain did not let this worry them and they snapped up wins in Slushie Slinger and Shootout Showdown to give them a nasty bit of frost bite.

Team Brightvale was only able to secure the overall victory through Make Some Noise. Elbin Kroe from Team Faerieland was astounded. That was a very fun match. Team Roo Island was dominant in Yooyuball yesterday, avoiding the usual traps opponents fall for against the confusing Kikos, but Team Kiko Lake was steamrolling through with wins in all the support games.

He has been brought here under the supervision of Master Vex, the prison warden. Number Five : Huh? What, does that come with sprinkles? Master Vex: Hush, Number Five! Get on with the match report. It's the jellies, I tell you, they have their own civilisation. Do the report. Number Five: Why, the nerve of these imbiciles.

They don't know of the Giant Jelly and the houses made of jelly? I'll give you a clue - we root for Team Darigan Citadel. Number Five: What is that? An army? Master Vex: No, they're athletes. Number Five: I saw the jellies! Chias, lots of Jelly Chias! Master Vex: The Practice Team? They aren't a real team. Master Vex: Do you even know what you're talking about? Number Five: Where are the sprinkles? Master Vex: Do you remember Team Darigan Citadel swept Team Shenkuu?

Ring any bells? Number Five: The bells! The bells! Number Five: I'm sorry, have we met? Number Five: Jelly World is real! Tell the world! It's real! And I liked the Lutari, is she on our team? There have been 14 Altador Cups so far. Haunted Woods, Kiko Lake, and Tyrannia have so far managed to win the cup twice. Yooyuball is strictly regulated by the referee. The game played to win the Altador Cup is called Yooyuball. Gameplay appears to be based on jai alai and lacrosse , where players carry a ball in a sling and charge down the field, trying to throw the ball into the other team's net to score a goal.

The ball is actually a rolled up Petpet called a Yooyu , a creature native to Altador. There are a variety of different Yooyus used in the game, which gives the sport an unpredictable twist, requiring a team to alter its strategy depending on the type of Yooyu currently in play. A new rule was added on June 24, , which would make the Yooyu jump from a Keeper's hands if it stayed there longer than 5 seconds.

It is believed this was implemented because too many users were scoring a single goal and then letting the Keeper hold onto the ball for the remainder of play, scoring an automatic win. Yooyuball plays as a Flash game, where users can play with the use of the mouse and keyboard.

Before each game of Yooyuball begins, users choose the formation they want their players to stand in and select which direction they would like to move the ball down the field. Using "mouse mode", users point at the player they want to move around, which will select the player. The selected player can be guided around the field using the mouse.

When a player has possession of the ball, clicking the left mouse button throws the ball. Using the mouse, users can point at the player they want to move around, which will select the player.

In "keyboard mode" the player is controlled by the arrow keys. Shooting is controlled in this mode by the space bar. July 3, , am NST - Two more days left in the round robin, folks! Now, onto today's coverage with Marie! There were several VERY evenly matched face-offs today. Mystery Island was able to win Shootout Showdown.

Also, Meridell faced Krawk Island on the field today, which ended in the Knights' favor. The Pirates were not able to obtain a single win because Meridell won both Make Some Noise and Slushie Slinger and the other two games ended in a draw.

Team Meridell faces Virtupets today as they try to make their way into the first tier again. Maraqua supporters will be rejoicing today as they slide into 4th place, and in turn, first tier. Their near sweep of Haunted Woods winning all games except Slushie Slinger - which they lost earned them that coveted spot.

Can they hold onto it as they face a headstrong team of Shenkuu's Ninjas who have just been kicked out of third tier? More news of first tier teams: Team Virtupets and Team Kreludor have pretty much clinched their spots. Team Kreludor showed no mercy when facing Roo Island, taking every win possible and drawing only in Shootout Showdown. They may be in big trouble, facing Roo Island today meaning they'll face Kreludor tomorrow because they're on the very brink of dropping out of Tier 2.

Their results today against Lost Desert were less than desirable. Losing Yooyuball and then Slushie Slinger, at least their good performance in Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown came through with wins in their favor.

Tyrannia was able to sweep Team Moltara. This was the only sweep of the day. That is not to say there weren't some very close sweeps. Bravo to Team Brightvale for doing very well against the Kikos. The bright and wise was able to snag every game except Make Some Noise which, unfortunately for them, they lost. The underdogs of Faerieland and Altador met in a showdown today with the Faeries showing that wings just may be what you need to succeed.

An exciting match today to watch out for is definitely the face-off of Virtupets and Meridell. If Meridell play their cards right, they just may be back in the running for first tier or rather, be able to continue their fight another day. The last two days look very promising, and it's guaranteed to be filled results displaying efforts of teams desperate to get into their desired tier. You won't want to miss out, so don't forget come back tomorrow as Herdy delves into the coverage of the second last day!

Let's start today with the only sweep. It was the match up of Shenkuu and Moltara, with Shenkuu taking down the steam punks. That sweep put Moltara back into last place and allowing Altador to get out of it. Speaking of Altador, yesterday they faced off against Terror Mountain and came out with the usual results.

Terror Mountain won all the games except for Slushie Slinger. The match up of Faerieland and Maraqua showed the same results. The Faeries avoiding a sweep with Slushie Slinger. Lost Desert faced off against Virtupets and were outmatched by the space beings. Virtupets was able to clutch victory in Yooyuball and Make Some Noise.

Lost Desert recovered from the losses and won Shootout Showdown. The two teams fought long and hard but neither of the teams could win Slushie Slinger, so it ended in a tie.

Haunted Woods faced off against Brightvale yesterday, and the match up resulted in a tie all around. While Brightvale won all the side games, Team Haunted Woods claimed victory with their win in Yooyuball. Krawk Island decided to blunder some wins from Roo Island yesterday.

The pirates won in Yooyuball, and Slushie Slinger. Many are puzzled from that burst of energy the kikos had earlier in the round, and where it went off to.

Some speculate that Kiko Lake will do well in next years cup. Team Mystery Island couldn't stop Kreludor from winning it all against them except for Shootout Showdown.
