Altador Cup X Staff Tournament

All eighteen participating TNT members.

As part of Altador Cup X celebrations, the Neopets Team held a staff Yooyuball tournament. Eighteen members of TNT participated in this tournament, each one representing a different Neopian Yooyuball team. The tournament lasted three rounds. During each round, each participating staff member played several games of Yooyuball and then received points based on their performance. The staff member with the most points at the end of the tournament was declared the winner.

Users could participate in the staff tournament by creating a "team" of staff members. All eighteen participating staff members were divided into one of three categories: forward, defender, or goalie. Users were allowed to pick two forwards, two defenders, and one goalie for their staff tournament team. In between rounds, users could change the staff members on their team.
