Hi! First of all we have a message to the owner of the chariot parked outside of tournament grounds from the Altador Cup Comittee. The Committee says that it is parked illegally in front of the Altador Alley location and for the "Neopet responsible to move it within the next hour or accept it being thrown into the harbour." So, whichever Neopian out there, possibly of Altadorian locality, has parked their chariot outside of the stadium, collect it or else it swims with the fishes. The registration number is "CHIAZILLA RULEZ". Anyway, in tournament news, we bring you Day 24's (June 18th) match report...

"The one to watch" was the face-off between powerhouses Team Darigan Citadel and Team Lost Desert where one of the most intense matches in the Altador Cup occurred yesterday. The referee had a hard time keeping up with which direction the Yooyus were heading and occationally hesitated on whether or not to distribute red or yellow cards for potential breaches in game etiquette. After the adrenaline-fuelled match, both teams were awarded a Draw in Yooyuball and Shootout Showdown. The deciders landed in Team Lost Desert's favour, though, as they secured wins in Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise!

Team Krawk Island and Team Maraqua had their second face-off of the season yesterday and ended up with a few mixed results. Team Maraqua proved to be mightier at Yooyuball as they reeled in a win, but they achieved equality against the pirates in the Slushie Slinger support game. Not ones to be insulted, the pirates gained the last laugh by seizing Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown against the subterrainean squad.

The Lakes took on the Faeries in a match that proved Team Faerieland mean business. Fyora's Fighters took home wins in Yooyuball and Make Some Noise, showing us all that they are taking their games seriously. Team Kiko Lake are not despondant because they were able to recover wins in Slushie Slinger and Shootout Showdown. It was an amicable match at the end of the day, as both teams shook hands respectfully at the end.

Team Terror Mountain did not melt under the intense heat of Team Moltara's offence as they won three of four games, only succumbing to a Draw in Slushie Slinger. Team Captain Prytariel of Terror Mountain said; "I am incredibly proud of my team and our supporters. Team Moltara may not be experts this year, but over time I see that they have unlocked potential."

Team Roo Island mirrored the results of Team Shenkuu's match against Tyrannia yesterday, as the Rooligans won Yooyuball and Shootout Showdown against the prehistoric squad. The Tyrannians held their own in Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise against the Rooligans, taking those games as wins. This match was just enough to push the Roo Island squad into the top tier!

The knights invaded Shenkuu yesterday and took out the ninjas with medieval combat over ancient martial arts. Team Meridell won Yooyuball, Slushie Slinger and Shootout Showdown respectfully. Team Shenkuu's supporters kept their spirits high enough to win Make Some Noise, but it was only enough to prevent a clean-sweep against their team. The knights celebrated with goblets of fine nectars and meaty meals. The ninjas are hoping their supporters still have enough morale left to go out with a bang!

Team Virtupets took on Team Mystery Island and zapped all of their pretty sandcastles away with wins in Yooyuball, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown. Feeling that the space station squad needed to cool their jets, Mystery Island took it upon themselves to sling those slushies far into space to win Slushie Slinger.

The scholars just didn't have their papers in order when they went to face the lunar squad yesterday. Team Kreludor gained a fantastic clean-sweep over Team Brightvale. "Squeaky" Tressif, Brightvale's Team Captain, says "It is frustrating but we are not going to cry over spilt milk. We will do better in our next match."

And finally we come to the Team Haunted Woods versus Team Altador match, where the sun could not peak through the dense, scary forest of the Haunted Woods at all! The spooky squad rampaged their way to gaining four sound wins! I guess that gladiator weaponry doesn't exactly work against the intense dark magic of the Haunted Woods! Better luck next time, Altador. (We'd suggest that you should bring some rock salt to next year's tournament, Team Altador, we've heard that it works well against creepy creatures of the night...)

Oh it looks like the chariot parked outside the stadium has been moved. Good for the Neopet who owned it! Anyway, if you want to stay up-to-date with all the latest Altador Cup news and goodies, feel free to follow our awesome Altador Cup Coverage!
