We have a tie for the top of the table placing! Roo Island couldn't hold on to their lead from yesterday, drawing their Yooyuball match against Meridell. The Roos had enough voice left to shout there way to a Make Some Noise win, but were exhausted after their late night celebrations, allowing Meridell to win the Slushie Slinger game.


Krawk Island are aiming for a solo place at the top of the table again, following their clean sweep across all three games against Terror Mountain. "Dasher" Soley warned his team to not let up with their game playing, reminding them that they cannot afford to lose to a bunch of Blumaroos.


The Haunted Woods had another clean sweep, as they faced "the best team on the space station", although that isn't as good a title as it sounds, as Virtupets are the only team on the space station. Fanetti, the HW goalkeeper, has been urging the team to stay focussed as they try to catch up with Krawk and Roo Island at the top of the table. Virtupets are faring better than last year, where they finished 16th, but it's doubtful that they have the determination and drive to place any higher by the end of the cup.


Kreludor faced the Lost Desert, and suffered their third loss in Slushie Slinger, as the LD team expertly served slushies to every fan they could find. Unfortunately, the Lost Desert team spent too long trying to find more thirsty fans to sling slushies at, and they missed the start of the Yooyuball match, giving Kreludor their 7th win. Even with the use of their Lost Desert Team Megaphones, LD couldn't match the cheering volume of their opposition, who are still elated from the defeat of Dr Sloth. Kreludor are currently tied for 5th place, but only time will tell if they have what it takes to be in the top four.


The other team tied for 5th place is Mystery Island, who had a closely fought set of games against Tyrannia. The Islanders got their 7th win in Yooyuball, but could only hold the Tyrannians to a draw in Slushie Slinger. For some unknown reason, the MI team were absent from part of the Make Some Noise matches. A possible explanation was given, when team captain Volgoth was seen carrying some pots of Magic Goop, fuelling rumours that the entire team had come down with Achy Head. Volgoth later insisted that it was merely a precautionary measure, and that his team would be fine for today's matches.


7th placed Darigan faced the home team, in what was expected to be an easy three wins for the Citadel. Altador couldn't hold the Darigans back in Yooyuball and Make Some Noise, but did succeed in holding them to a draw in Slushie Slinger. Layton Vickles of Darigan claimed that the Altador team had blocked up their oppositions slushie dispensers. The referee checked all the dispensers, and dismissed the claim, saying they were all in perfect working order.


9th place Shenkuu are closing the gap on Meridell, with a clean sweep win against Brightvale. They have also managed to maintain Mirsha Grelinek's position of 4th in the top goal scorer's table. Brightvale are currently resting in 14th place, but have been working on their goal-scoring technique to try and move themselves up the table.


Maraqua earnt another deserved set of three wins over Faerieland, displaying the techniques that have got them to tenth place in the table so far. Faerieland's team was summonsed to Jhudora's Cloud after the match, for what can only be described as "intensive training", in the hope of getting at least one win.



And for everyone who is wondering how I have worked out the team's positions in the table, I'm using the team standings table from the main Altador Cup page on Neopets.
