Virtupets were suffering from exhaustion at the beginning of their three games against Faerieland. The constant overnight training that Virtupets captain Keetra Deile has been inflicting on her team, resulted in the Virtupets goalkeeper falling asleep during the Yooyuball match. Faerieland took advantage of their lethargic opponents, with their first Yooyuball draw of the Cup this year. Unfortunately, Faerieland were unable to match their Yooyuball success in the other games, with the sleepy Virtupets team winning both the Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise contests before returning to the space station for a well-needed rest.
Roo Island have definitely gone off the boil, with an unimpressive set of results against Kreludor. The Kreludor team took an early win in Slushie Slinger, and followed that with a rousing cheer to win Make Some Noise. RI captain Lilo Blumario pulled his team aside before the Yooyuball game, to remind them that their place in the final was still dependent on a decent set of scores in the last two days worth of games. Thankfully for the Roo fans, the RI team regained some of their focus, with the Kreludor team only managing to hold them to a draw.
Shenkuu were back in fighting form, with a clean sweep over last year's winners Darigan Citadel. The super-charged Shenkuu team have clearly been aiming for a place in the finals, following their impressive final placing last year. Team captain Mirsha Grelinek attributed their success this year to their team motto: with Ninjas and inner peace, you cannot fail!
Mighty Meridell are still battling for that coveted place in the finals, with another clean sweep over Terror Mountain. The TM goalkeeper Minae Mitora has recently been blamed for the team's poor score record this year, prompting the fans to come up with their own suggestions for a replacement. The most popular goalkeeper suggestion was the Snowager, but captain Prytariel dismissed the idea, reminding the fans that the Snowager sleeps for 21 hours each day.
The Lost Desert were all set for a clean sweep over the Maraquans, and their plan was going swimmingly with wins in Yooyuball and Slushie Slinger. For the Make Some Noise contest however, the Maraquans had insisted that the game be played underwater. LD captain Leera Heggle refused to let his team play underwater, citing health and safety issues, which resulted in a disqualification for the LD team, and Maraqua's 11th win.
In an unusual show of team support, a selection of Brightvale fans had brought some Brightvale windows with them, to encourage their team to do better than their usual three game loss. Although it was a unique idea, it backfired when the light reflected off the windows, shining straight into the Brightvale goalkeeper's eyes. This error of judgement from the Brightvale fans, allowed the Haunted Woods to take an easy Yooyuball win.
Undeterred by their loss, the Brightvale fans gave it their all in the penultimate Make Some Noise contest before the finals, but they were unable to even match the volume of the Haunted Woods team, who walked away with their 18th. After all their cheering, both sets of fans were thirsty and eager for Slushie Slinger to commence. The Brightvale team took an early lead after HW team member Autrey Fulse dropped several slushies that he was supposed to be serving. In the final seconds of the contest, the Haunted Woods managed to catch up with Brightvale, resulting in two teams of exhausted players, and a draw for Slushie Slinger.
Krawk Island are clearly at the peak of their game playing, with another clean sweep over Mystery Island. The KI team have been consistent in their scoring so far this year, with a total of only 8 draws and 4 losses. Captain "Dasher" Soley, explained that his team had been training all year for the Altador Cup, and assured the KI fans that their team will go all out to take the first place cup home with them this year.
The final match of the day saw the hungry home team face the terrifying Tyrannians. Altador were nowhere to be seen at the start of the Yooyuball match, which was unusual as their team have the least distance to travel to reach the colosseum each day. The referee went to investigate, and found the team members buying Nectar of the Heroes at Exquisite Ambrosia. On their return to the colosseum, Lyvon Cibaire apologised to the home fans for Altador's oversight, explaining that the home team had woken late, and there hadn't been any time for them to eat breakfast before the games were due to start. The referee docked some points from the Altador team for time wasting, and quickly started the games. Fortunately for Tyrannia, the home team's unexpected stop for breakfast had not given them any more energy, making it another easy three game win for the Tyrannians.
