Everyone enjoying your break from facing opponents today? You can send score for Yooyuball, Slushie Slinger, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown ten times for Neopoints according to the Altador Cup FAQ. So, in the absence of results that have not yet been produced from yesterdays matches (Day 17 of the tournament – June 11th) SunnyNeo brings you a special report about the current Altador Cup Standings at the end of the First Round Robin...

1st Place – Team Lost Desert
Team Lost Desert is currently ranked in First Place! Their fierce and no nonesense approach has paid off for the desert squad, meaning that they are soundly heading for the gold trophy. The question is; how long can they maintain this position? They have done an incredible job so far in the First Round Robin. Left Forward, Vonde Cayle, is currently ranked in fifth place in the Top Goal Scorers list! The TNT staff member who is representing Team Lost Desert in TNT's Staff Tournament is Dirigibles.

2nd Place – Team Darigan Citadel
Team Darigan Citadel is currently ranked in Second Place! The Darigans are making the comeback they have always dreamt of after falling victim to the "winner's curse" after Altador Cup II and hovered around the Seventh Place mark for a couple of years. Now they seem to be Top Four contenders once more. Team Captain, Left Forward, Layton Vickles, is currently ranked in first place in the Top Goal Scorer list! The TNT staff member who is representing Team Darigan Citadel in TNT's Staff Tournament is Ziggytron.

3rd Place – Team Kreludor
Team Kreludor is currently ranked in Third Place! The Kreludorks maintain that they are a powerhouse team and are demonstrating that well. No more taunting, more results, they say! Left Forward, Qlydae Wegg, is currently ranked in third place in the Top Goal Scorers list! The TNT staff member who is representing Team Kreludor in TNT's Staff Tournament is Undutchable.

4th Place – Team Meridell
Team Meridell is currently ranked in Fourth Place! The knights have been determined to prove that they are Top Four material for a long time and they have shown that potential in the First Round Robin this year. Team Captain, Centre Forward, "Wizard" Windelle, is currently ranked in sixth place in the Top Goal Scorers list! Sadly there is no TNT staff member to represent Team Meridell in TNT's Staff Tournament this year.

5th Place – Team Maraqua
Team Maraqua is currently ranked in Fifth Place! The Maraquans are determined to inch into the Top Four and might just stand a chance if they maintain this good progress. Their Team Captain might be the  team's undoing, though, if he does not learn how to share the glory with his teammates. Team Captain, Centre Forward, Elon "The Black Hole" Hughlis, is currently ranked in ninth place in the Top Goal Scorers list! Sadly there is no TNT staff member to represent Team Maraqua in TNT's Staff Tournament this year.

6th Place – Team Roo Island
Team Roo Island is currently ranked in Sixth Place! The Rooligans have had an enjoyable First Round Robin and are making a great comeback from falling into Ninth Place last year. Opponents will ROO the day faced Roo Island, right? (And the puns live on...) Unfortunately there are no players from Team Roo Island in the Top Goal Scorers list at this time as none of them qualify in the Top Ten yet. The TNT staff member who is representing Team Roo Island in TNT's Staff Tournament is Socktastic.

7th Place – Team Virtupets
Team Virtupets is currently ranked in Seventh Place! The Virtupets squad, Dr. Sloth's favourites, have really made a name for themselves this year as they have incredibly jumped from underdog status to potential champion status! Many believe that this is due to an upgrade of the Robot players' software. Either way, something is working well for them. Left Forward, XL Striker 3.8, is currently ranked in second place in the Top Goal Scorers list! The TNT staff member who is representing Team Virtupets in TNT's Staff Tournament is Snarkie.

8th Place – Team Krawk Island
Team Krawk Island is currently ranked in Eigth Place! After winning First Place last year, the Krawkstars have certainly fallen under the "winner's curse" but do not seem to be doing too badly. A lot of drama has occurred when replacement player Feldon "Dinksy" Collibridge could not participate, bringing ex-captain "Dasher" Soley back into the game. Garven Hale stepped up as the new Team Captain... Can Team Krawk Island counteract the curse? Unfortunately there are no players from Team Krawk Island in the Top Goal Scorers list at this time as none of them qualify in the Top Ten yet. The TNT staff member who is representing Team Krawk Island in TNT's Staff Tournament is Viola.

9th Place – Team Shenkuu
Team Shenkuu is currently ranked in Ninth Place! As the Second Place winners of Altador Cup IV, the ninjas have been labelled as the "favourite to win" this year as each Second Place winner of the past tournaments have escalated to First Place the following year. Team Shenkuu are not your average powerhouse like Lost Desert or Darigan Citadel as their inconsistencies give them the element of surprise. Sitting smack-bang in the middle of the current standings table is not as dire as it may appear at the moment, but can they "Pull A Shenkuu" this time to save themselves a place in the Top Four? Team Captain, Left Forward, Mirsha Grelinek, is currently ranked in fourth place in the Top Goal Scorers list! The TNT staff member who is representing Team Shenkuu in TNT's Staff Tournament is Bancha Ninja.

10th Place – Team Haunted Woods

Team Haunted Woods is currently ranked in Tenth Place! The winners of the gold trophy in the first ever Altador Cup have not recovered fully from the "winner's curse" just yet as their current standings suggest. Zo Junior and "Brains" Mortigan have been keeping the fans entertained regardless of this rank. Who cares when you have charisma and comedy, right? Centre Forward, Zo Junior, is currently ranked in seventh place in the Top Goal Scorers list! The TNT staff member who is representing Team Haunted Woods in TNT's Staff Tournament is Comastar.

11th Place – Team Brightvale
Team Brightvale is currently ranked in Eleventh Place! The scholars caused a bit of a stir at the start of the tournament by leaping from underdogs to powerhouses in an almost overnight movement! And then, just as quickly as it started, the Brightvalians are backtracking in the ranks. Can they regain their footing in the Second Round? Left Forward, Kayn Hireck, is currently ranked in eigth place in the Top Goal Scorers list! The TNT staff member who is representing Team Brightvale in TNT's Staff Tournament is Lawyerbot.

12th Place – Team Tyrannia

Team Tyrannia is currently ranked in Twelfth Place! The support game sweepers are still rocking the competition with their support game dominance. Will their Yooyuball squad pull them up their reputation to escalate their standings position? Who can tell? We still have another Round to witness first. Unfortunately there are no players from Team Tyrannia in the Top Goal Scorers list at this time as none of them qualify in the Top Ten yet. The TNT staff member who is representing Team Tyrannia in TNT's Staff Tournament is Lornadesparow.

13th Place – Team Mystery Island
Team Mystery Island is currently ranked in Thirteenth Place! The Mystery Islanders aren't performing as well as they would like, considering they have been deemed as one of the stronger squads of the tournament. Can their Island Magic bring them back? Centre Forward, Bertie Shurtz, is currently ranked in tenth place in the Top Goal Scorers list! The TNT staff member who is representing Team Mystery Island in TNT's Staff Tournament is Twitterpate.

14th Place – Team Terror Mountain
Team Terror Mountain is currently ranked in Fourteenth Place! The mountaineers have caused a few upsets so far but they will need to use some antifreeze on their statistics to climb further up the ranks. Unfortunately there are no players from Team Terror Mountain in the Top Goal Scorers list at this time as none of them qualify in the Top Ten yet. The TNT staff member who is representing Team Terror Mountain in TNT's Staff Tournament is Dragona.

15th Place – Team Kiko Lake

Team Kiko Lake is currently ranked in Fifteenth Place! The Lakes started off well but have not lost their underdog status from previous years. Can they turn this around in future matches? Holbie Pinnock might have a couple of tricks up his sleeve... Unfortunately there are no players from Team Kiko Lake in the Top Goal Scorers list at this time as none of them qualify in the Top Ten yet. The TNT staff member who is representing Team Kiko Lake in TNT's Staff Tournament is Mr. Insane.

16th Place – Team Altador

Team Altador is currently ranked in Sixteenth Place! The namesakes of the tournament looked like they were turning the tides this season but luck has not shone on them as they are still hovering around their comfort zone in the standings. Can their Heroes save them? Either way they are showing progress. Unfortunately there are no players from Team Altador in the Top Goal Scorers list at this time as none of them qualify in the Top Ten yet. The TNT staff member who is representing Team Altador in TNT's Staff Tournament is El Picklesaur.

17th Place – Team Faerieland

Team Faerieland is currently ranked in Seventeenth Place! The Faerielanders are not in last place! Regardless of this current rank, it looks like the start of great things to come. They have the power pending to be used, all they need is the right spark to get going. Unfortunately there are no players from Team Faerieland in the Top Goal Scorers list at this time as none of them qualify in the Top Ten yet. The TNT staff member who is representing Team Faerieland in TNT's Staff Tournament is Pie.

18th Place – Team Moltara
Team Moltara is currently ranked in Eighteenth Place! The newcomers from Moltara are struggling to learn the standard methods involved in the Altador Cup. Towards the end of the First Round Robin the Moltarans have started to grasp wins in the support games. Maybe they are now getting the hang of it! Unfortunately there are no players from Team Moltara in the Top Goal Scorers list at this time as none of them qualify in the Top Ten yet. The TNT staff member who is representing Team Moltara in TNT's Staff Tournament is SeñorMalo.

Sorry for the delay in the report! There was a horde of rogue Yooyus followed by a small army of Tandrak Shaye fangirls that prevented this article from reaching the press. How very dare they!
