Krawk Island were taking things easy in their games against Shenkuu yesterday, after team captain "Dasher" Soley instructed them to save their energy for tomorrow's game against the Roos. The games got off to a flying start for the islanders as they served every slushie that was made, in a record time. Following their captain's warning, the KI team didn't put too much energy into the Yooyuball, content to hold Shenkuu to a draw rather than going all out for a win. Even the fans were told to take things easy, matching the Shenkuu fans' volume, with neither team appearing to even want to break through for a win.


The home team gave a rousing performance in each game against Roo Island, but they just didn't have the technique to defeat the ingenious islanders. Roo Island are almost guaranteed a place in the finals this year, demonstrating their excellent Yooyuball skills to the crowd before the games started. Their demonstration was enough to get the RI fans cheering with all their might, leading to their 17th Make Some Noise win. All eyes are on the top two places in the table, as speculation runs wild for which team will get the top spot, especially when the Krawks and Roos face each other in a battle of the islands tomorrow.


Terror Mountain player Elbin Kroe's secret plan didn't come to anything, as the Lost Desert had a clean sweep in the three games. The LD team claimed that Kroe didn't actually have a plan at all, and that it was just a way of trying to get the team encouraged, but Kroe replied that there was a plan, it just wasn't put into practise for the Lost Desert games.


Faerieland suffered an expected loss in all three games against Mystery Island, as the islanders are fighting hard to keep their fourth place position in the table. With 7 more games before the finals, the MI team are in with a chance, but hot on their heels are the Crafty Kreludans, who are determined to show their absence from last year's games has no effect on their ability to play.


And the Kreludor team's determination is paying off, as they achieved a clean sweep over Brightvale. The Kreludor team have suffered some embarrassments this year, as they disappeared to go shopping on half-price day, but even with that error of judgement, they are still in the running for a place in the finals. The referee said he will be keeping a close eye on the teams vying for the coveted 4th place, after every shop in Altador had sold out of inflatable fire yooyu balls and every single training item imaginable.


The Darigan Citadel team arrived fully refreshed, cured from their attack of Pollenitus, and enthusiastic for their games against Meridell. Proving that they still have the skill and agility in Yooyuball, the Citadel ran rings around their opposition, scoring more goals than the scoreboard could handle. Meridell's team were still recovering from their Yooyuball defeat, and were unable to cheer loud enough to prevent the Darigans from taking another win. However, when it came to the slushie slinging, Meridell retained their position as the fourth best slushie slinging team with their 16th win. So if you want a slushie in a hurry, Meridell is one of the best places to go!


Haunted Woods goalkeeper Fanetti, had a rare success in their Yooyuball match against Tyrannia. Fanetti wasn't permitted to bring his collection of Supersize! onto the pitch, but had obviously been at the training academy, as his sudden increase of speed and strength was a shock to the home and opposition teams alike. Spurred on by their win, the Haunted Woods team cheered their way to victory in Make Some Noise, making their opponents sound more like a whisper. Tyrannia managed to maintain their position as the second best team at serving slushies, as they won their 18th Slushie Slinger game.


Virtupets are struggling this year, following the disappearance of team coach Dr Sloth, and were unable to get so much as a whisper from their crowd of fans for Make Some Noise, leading to an automatic win for Maraqua. Captain Keetra Deile took the Virtupets team aside to remind them that they need to put the effort into the games, and for a while they were winning the Yooyuball match. Unfortunately, goalkeeper Goltron Mk I was suffering from a lack of oil causing his casing to seize up, which allowed the Maraquans to score a goal every 8 seconds to win the game. The last game of the day was Slushie Slinger, and by that point, most of the Virtupets fans had given up and gone home for the day, leaving the, with only 5 thirsty fans to serve. Maraqua's large and thirsty fanbase came through for their team, winning their 8th Slushie Slinger contest.
