Krawk Island suffered intense humiliation, as they failed to beat the might of Meridell in Yooyuball, giving the Islanders their second draw. The KI team were determined to win the other games, however, and gave a rallying performance in both Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise. Their lead is even smaller over second placed Roo Island now - have "Dasher" Soley and his team got what it takes to keep hold of that top spot?


Roo Island had an expected clean sweep against Brightvale, and are now even closer to the coveted top place position. Brightvale are still struggling to escape placing in the bottom three teams, but they will need a lot of practise to catch up to Terror Mountain.



The Lost Desert team had an unexpected set of results against Darigan Citadel, as they were only able to match the Citadel's performance in Yooyuball. The Lost Desert team proved they still have the loudest cheers, as they stormed their way to victory in Make Some Noise, but unfortunately, they ran out of energy during the Slushie Slinger matches, resulting in the LD team's 2nd Slushie Slinger draw.


What has been happening to the top four teams (well, with the exception of Roo Island of course)?! Kreludor also couldn't maintain their winning form, as the Tyrannians cheered the loudest, and served the most slushies. The Kreludor team were able to stave off a total loss, by scraping through in the final minutes of the game to win the Yooyuball match. Some of the team were later seen queuing outside the Booktastic Books shop, making the most of half-price day. Hopefully they will be concentrating on the games, rather than restocking for tomorrow's matches.


Mystery Island faced the underwater mighty Maraquans, in a spectacular set of games. The Islanders proved they can still cheer underwater, shouting their way to Make Some Noise victory. However, the Maraquans were not ready to have a defeat in all the games, holding the MI team to a draw in both Slushie Slinger and Yooyuball. Have Mystery Island still got what it takes to make the top four teams at the end of the cup?


Shenkuu had another clean sweep against Faerieland, as Jhudora began planning another scheme to sabotage their opponents' chances of winning. The Faerieland team's main concern, apart from making sure they look their best, is to not finish at the bottom of the table. Team captain Kakoni Worrill stated that the Faerieland team will beat Altador this year, and will not be finishing at the bottom of the table. The next few games will prove if Worrill knew what he was talking about.


Altador have been playing true to form this year, losing another set of three games to the Haunted Woods. The Altador team were hoping to win the Slushie Slinger games, but the referee noticed there was some foul play involved, and delayed the slinging of the slushies while several boxes of pre-made slushies were removed from the area. Altador team member, Lyvon Cibaire, later insisted the boxed slushies were nothing to do with the Altador team, and expressed his disappointment at another loss for his team. Cibaire was seen buying up every copy of the book Slushie Slinging for Novices, fuelling rumours that the home team will be practising their slushie slinging skills all night long.


Virtupets and Terror Mountain were battling it out for 12th place in the table, a placing which still shocks the Virtupets team since the "loss" of their team coach, Dr Sloth. The week of serving practise has paid off for Virtupets, as they won their 3rd Slushie Slinger game. Unfortunately, the Virtupets team then spent far too long celebrating their win, and lost concentration in the Yooyuball match, allowing Terror Mountain their fourth YYB win of the Cup this year.
The Make Some Noise games were evenly matched, until the referee discovered that some of the Virtupets team had been using the loud speaker from the space station. Once the offending items were confiscated, Terror Mountain cheered their way to another win.
