Hello, everyone. The Petpet Protection League (PPL) just want to reassure all Neopians out there that no Yooyus are harmed during the tournament. In regards to Clockwork Yooyus... players do stand a risk of injury, but the PPL only care about petpets, not Neopets themselves, so it's upto the players to avoid holding the Clockwork Yooyu before it explodes. (Helpful, PPL, but hardly reassuring for the team players!) SunnyNeo now brings you the match report for Day 25 (June 19th) of the Altador Cup...

Well, that was certainly an unexpected result! Team Kreludor must have been scared something rotten for them to sacrifice Yooyuball, Slushie Slinger and Shootout Showdown in favour of their opponents in Team Haunted Woods! Krell Vitor, Team Captain of the Haunted Woods, stated that his squad were really on form this match and that the supporters rallied at just the right moment to gain them the win on the higher seeded Team Kreludor. Too shocked to cheer above the howls of the night, Kreludor's fans only managed to gain a Draw in Make Some Noise.

Team Roo Island did a repeat of Day 24's results when they won Yooyuball and Shootout Showdown against Team Lost Desert yesterday. Not even the daunting deserts could stop the Rooligans for achieving that overall win! Team Lost Desert managed to recover by obtaining victories in Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise. Maybe the desert fans were cheering loudly in Make Some Noise to try and ignore the long stream of puns coming from Roo Island's end of the pitch? (ROOdiculous puns? SeROOiously? Mwahaha...)

The pitch was on fire when Team Altador took on Team Moltara in a match that resulted in a clean split down the middle for the results. The sun squad burned a line in the results to claim wins in Yooyuball and Slushie Slinger as their own territory, whereas Team Moltara summoned magma from the depths of the earth to become victorious in Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown. Needless to say, there was an increase in slushie sales after that heated match.

The space station rounded on the scholars yesterday and zapped away Team Brightvale's precious statistics library! Team Virtupets won Yooyuball, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown much to the dismay of King Hagan in Brightvale. Team Brightvale picked themselves up, though, to win Slushie Slinger.

It's not over for the ninjas yet as many predicted doomsday-like results for Team Shenkuu when they faced Team Faerieland. Adamant to prove that they had not lost hope and were still retaining their dignity, the ninjas gratefully took home wins in Yooyuball, Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise from the faeries. Team Faerieland were not swept away entirely as they dug their heels in to achieve a win in Shootout Showdown.

The pirates took a wrong turning and ended up at Kiko Lake... just fantastic... Well, not ones to arrive at a location and not loot it, Team Krawk Island raided the match results and emerged with wins in Yooyuball, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown. Team Kiko Lake grabbed their bows and arrows and started firing at the pirates to chase them off their property, gaining a win in Slushie Slinger as they complained angrily about the pirates stealing their victories.

Team Tyrannia faced Team Maraqua yesterday and attempted another support game sweep... sort of. The prehistoric squad succeeded in winning Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise respectfully, but the Maraquans would not allow this match to end with an overall Draw, so they won Yooyuball and Shootout Showdown to prove a point.

It was a day of mixed results when Team Meridell took on Team Terror Mountain, leaving the supporters in a bit of confusion. The knights definitely took the overall win by prevailling in Yoyuball and Make Some Noise, but Terror Mountain's Prytariel secured the win for her team in Shootout Showdown. The referee judged the Slushie Slinger match and concluded that the results were too close to call and awarded a Draw for both teams.

And in the final match, it was Team Darigan Citadel versus Team Mystery Island in a battle to decide which was better... a floating citadel or a tropical beach island... Team Darigan Citadel rather solidly proved that a dark force overpowers a sunny day on the beach as they won Yooyuball, Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise. Mystery Island did not like the thought of being swept away by the Darigans so they used up their energy to force a Draw in Shootout Showdown instead. Better than losing fully!
