81.206.154.93: /* Plot summary */ Brucey B in Desert Diplomacy

[[Image:Brucey B.gif|right]]

'''Brucey B''' is a [[Bruce]] [[wikipedia:Bingo|Bingo]] caller and [[Cheat!]] player. His performance at Cheat! improved dramatically after he started wearing a scarab medallion he called his "lucky coin". After [[Dr. Sloth]] stole it from him, however, he went on a journey to recover it and discovered the [[Lost Desert]]. There, he helped raise an army to defeat Dr. Sloth and save Sakhmet.

As well as Cheat!, Brucey B stars in [[Brucey B Slots]], [[The Great Desert Race]], and [[Tug-O-War]].

==Plot summary==
===Brucey B and the Lucky Coin===
{{main|Brucey B and the Lucky Coin}}
After losing his Lucky Coin to a mysterious purple [[Jetsam]] in a rigged [[Cheat!]] game, Brucey B and his friends [[Capara]] and [[Princess Fernypoo]] decide to track down the Jetsam. The three adventurers go to the [[Brain Tree]] for help but get lost in the [[Haunted Woods]]. As dawn breaks they discover that they had made it through the Woods - something no one has ever done before. Crossing the dunes of the [[Lost Desert]] they find the Jetsam in front of the Great Pyramid and [[Dr. Sloth]]'s evil plan already under way. After chasing down Sloth to get his coin back, Brucey saves [[Sakhmet]] and [[Neopia]] when he breaks the [[Staff of Alhasutek]].

===Desert Diplomacy===
{{main|Desert Diplomacy}}
Brucey B was for a vacation tournament of [[Cheat!]] in the Lost Desert. There he mysteriously witnessed the theft of the Pocket Chess, which was stolen from one of the attendants of Princess Amira's trading summit. He was able to give a clue that helped in the investigation following the robberies.

==Better Than You==
Brucey B has been a contestant on [[Better Than You]] twice:

{{BTY|January 29, 2009|I'm not just an excellent Cheat! player, you know. I'm quite an accomplished ice skater as well. It just comes natural to Bruces. I dare you to outperform me! What? No I'm not wearing my lucky coin... it's just... a gold medallion, that's all!|Rink Runner|195|GX-4 Oscillabot Coin}}

{{BTY|December 8, 2011|Normally I love wintering in the Lost Desert; it's like a beach vacation without that pesky salt water. Sometimes, though, I like to visit [[Terror Mountain]] just to remind all the other Bruces how excellent my ice skating skills are!|Rink Runner|110|Secret Bruce Journal}}

==Trivia==
*Brucey B appears in the [[Potato Counter]] Neopedia article, although he is not mentioned by name, and referred to by [[Alton Moughbry]] only as "the tourist."
*He's an unique Cheat! player because he accuses people of cheating very frequently, making it difficult to not get caught while cheating.
*In the [[Petpet Battledome]], it is revealed he has a [[Mallard]], Biebo.

Team Haunted Woods

81.206.154.93: add image (if anyone's better at it, be my guest)

[[Image:AC IX haunted woods.gif|frame|right|Team Haunted Woods' line up in 2014 - from left, Fanetti, Crade Talvos, Krell Vitor, Zo Junior, and "Brains" Mortigan.]]

The '''Haunted Woods [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team''' subscribes to the old saying "defense wins championships," and has built its team to shut down forwards and force mistakes which create easy scoring opportunities for them, requires plenty of discipline and determination from the other team to defeat them. The Haunted Woods won the Altador Cup of 2006.

With the retirement of veteran defender [[Chelo Binay]] in 2007, it was questioned whether the defensive unit of the team would be as good as last years. If the playing of newcomer [[Autrey Fulse]] was any indication, Haunted Woods fans with hopes of back-to-back titles wouldn't need to worry. However, the favourites going into last year's tournament were [[Altador]], [[Faerieland]], and [[Mystery Island]], so it's uncertain how the year would go. A disappointment to Haunted Woods fans was a drop from a championship to 7th, then continuing a gradual slide from grace with a 8th in [[Altador Cup III|'08]] and 10th in [[Altador Cup IV|'09]]. But in [[Altador Cup V|2010]], in hope of stopping their loosing skid, they added a new Centre Defender [["Brains" Mortigan]]. However, they in fact did worse than the previous year, finishing 12th.

The team crawled back up from the wreckage in [[Altador Cup VI]], and though they weren't quite able to reach second tier, the team stayed strong to push up one spot to 11th. The team was defeated by [[Shenkuu]] but won against [[Brightvale]].

[[Altador Cup VII]] was a rough year for the Haunted Woods, with their Yooyuball record being quite weak. In fact, in their 24 matches, only once did they win Yooyuball. However, their side-game ability was much better, which enabled them to push up the rankings yet again to 9th place.

2013 was the lucky year for Team Haunted Woods. [[Altador Cup VIII]] was probably the best Cup for Haunted Woods in 5 years. They swept many teams and as the tournament went on they kept getting even better. However, they're performances were only average, and so they finished 9th in a tie with [[Team Maraqua]].
In the next year an old veteran who helped to achieve the Cup in the first year, [[Wan Dirx]] decided to retire from Yooyuball. He made this decision for the better of the Team, and to clear his place for new young energy. Fans noted that he will always be remembered as a legendary defender. His replacement is [[Crade Talvos]], a [[Wraith]] [[Draik]].

{|align=right

|}
In [[Altador Cup IX]] Haunted Woods was once again a contestant for the title thanks to the sharpness of the young talent Crade Talvos. Old times were reborn when it quickly became clear that Haunted Woods would become a serious favorite to win the Cup. They swept almost every team with sky-high numbers. The moment of truth came in the fourth round when they faced off with the two other favorites: Virtupets and Moltara. But they were no match for the Haunties. When it was all over Haunted Woods victorized and won the Altador Cup IX! And so, eight years after their first victory to become the first winner of the Altador Cup, Haunted Woods has become the very first team to win the Altador Cup twice! A both historic aswelll as ironic achievement.

'''Altador's [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team''' boasts an airtight defence, allowing them to usually win with only one goal per game. During the 2006 season, they averaged the least amount of goals allowed per game coming into the Altador Cup, though it is questionable if they could generate enough scoring to stay in the tournament.

Having lost in Round One of the 2006 tournament, many were lead to believe Altador was out of practice after the thousand year hiatus, which prompted them to work hard during the following year's practices, exhibitions, and regular season matches, making them fighting fit and ready to prove the loss was a fluke. Team Captain [["Trapper" Remis]] cautioned the "so-called experts" that picking against them was madness, and was quoted telling the press, "After all, let's not forget who invented the game. No one's gonna stop us from taking back what's rightfully ours." But after placing 13th twice, 14th once, and then 15th and 17th three times, excuses were gone for the Altador team. However, in [[Altador Cup VI]], they finished behind only one other team in Slushie Slinger.

In [[Altador Cup V]], they traded their Right Defender [[Timu]] for [[Foltaggio]], the Left Forward of [[Team Shenkuu]].
After years of misery the Altador Team finally achieved a podium place in [[Altador Cup VIII]]. They ended up at the 2nd place, they were only unable to defeat [[Team Tyrannia]].

Very little people expected that Team Altador would keep up the pace they had in 2013, but the final results of [[Altador Cup IX]] was even worse then anyone ever thought it would be. Completely out of balance and without a single bit of resemblance with their play of the last year, Altador finished 18th. Eventhough they are known to be a bottomfloater, they had never become last in the tournament. Until now.

Team Faerieland

2014-07-03T12:04:59Z

81.206.154.93:

{|align=right
|http://images.neopets.com/altador/altadorcup/2011/freebies/backgrounds/400_faerieland.gif
|}

In 2006, '''Faerieland's [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team''' featured one of the most potent offensive attacks in the game, consisting of three forwards, making for one of the biggest stories going into the Altador Cup. Their trio of quick, undersized forwards had a tendency to wear down against larger and more physical opponents, however, and their fans were stunned when they were defeated by such forwards from Mystery Island in Round 1.

In 2007, Faerieland decided to switch back to two forwards, adding defender [[Elbin Towse]], who showed vast improvement in practice and then in the regular season the past year, moving Faerieland up to 15th place in Altador Cup II. In 2008, Ciona Broan was added to replace Elbin for her tough tackling. Unfortunatley, they didn't improve, but they did remain 15th. With no changes they returned for the next year, however, the hype didn't quite help Faerieland, giving it last place in [[Altador Cup IV]]. Thus the expectations for Faerieland weren't too high in [[Altador Cup V|2010]] as they again made no roster changes. However they did improve, getting 15th place out of 18, rather than 15th out of 16th and winning eight Yooyuball games, more than ever before.

Once [[Altador Cup VI]] came around, coupled with new uniform colors, things continued to remain unchanged, despite adding Left Forward [[Elbin Kroe]] from [[Tyrannia]]. They floated around the fourth tier for nearly the entire time, then lost to [[Lost Desert]] and won against [[Kiko Lake]] to finish 15th.

Despite [[Altador Cup VII]]'s new format, it did nothing to change Faerieland's collapsing fortunes. The team was stuck in a rut for the entire time; they couldn't even keep being swept on two of the four occasions they faced [[Moltara]]. Likewise, when pit against tougher teams, they crumbled. With a win-loss-draw ratio of 6-74-6, it was no surprise that they fell to last place, tying for the position with [[Altador]].

No one was surprised when Faerieland was at the bottom of [[Altador Cup VIII]] and [[Altador Cup IX]] once again. Ranking respectively 16th and 17th. However, there still is hope. In AC VIII, Altador made it 2nd and in AC IX, Moltara made it 3rd. So perhaps there is hope for Faerieland in the near future.

Team Lost Desert

2014-07-03T12:01:15Z

81.206.154.93:

{|align=right

|}
The '''Lost Desert's [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team''' of 2006 had a lineup which could have done lots of damage in the tournament, but troubles in 2006 ([["Dirty" Navers]]' aggressive tactics and [[Derbi Azar]]'s holdout) made fans wary of them and if they would effectively play. They managed beat the [[Virtupets Space Station|Space Station]] in the first round, but were beaten by [[Roo Island]] in Round Two. When the time came to assign blame for the improbable loss, most of the criticism was aimed at defenseman [[Wyett Tuggins]], who was repeatedly put to shame by the brilliant play of Roo Island's [[Fenny Vail]]. As a result, journeyman [[Luvea Trivon]] took his place in the 2007 games.

After a few uneventful years for Lost Desert their chance to shine came in 09' where they made it to the finals and placed third after being defeated by the eventual winners [[Krawk Island]], but being able to defeat the initial top seeds, [[Kreludor]]. Thus expectations were high when [[Altador Cup V]] came around, where Lost Desert were the odd on favorites. Though they hit a rough patch 2/3 into the season, they were able to keep it together and eventually win the Cup!

The next Cup came and everyone watched on what would happen to Lost Desert. Surprisingly, they were beaten easily by many teams and fell to the 4th bracket, the farthest any winner have gone after the year they won. Not accepting their great fall, they fought hard to win the tier and they did, ending up in 13th place.

With a reputation to reclaim, the Lost Desert went in with high expectations for [[Altador Cup VII]]. They had mixed success, winning the majority of their matches but not keeping up with the years' favorites. As a result, their abilities as they stood could only take them so far, as they finished 5th for the third time.

In the [[Altador Cup VIII]] they fell back to their dissapointing results from [[Altador Cup VI]]. And ended up 12th. The call for a change in the roster became thus even louder than before.

Team Lost Desert experienced their absolute worst ranking ever in the [[Altador Cup IX]]. No goal was enough and no victory was a satisfaction for their final 16th ranking. A huge disappointment for all the fans.

Team Terror Mountain

'''[[Terror Mountain]]'s [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team''' was known as "the worst team a fortune can buy" in 2006, due to the collection of talented players who failed to come together and play as a team when they were defeated by [[Darigan Citadel]]. Terror Mountain's management has since begun moving away from their overpriced free agent signings of years past and started rebuilding for the future. The centrepiece of the youth movement was [[Osielle Lidel]], a speedy young forward who stepped in to replace [[Tico Tems]] in 2007. While Lidel has the makings of a future superstar, it could be a year or two before he has the kind of team around him ready to seriously challenge the Altador Cup.

In [[Altador Cup V|2010]] they made a big trade to [[Tyrannia]]: [[Elbin Kroe]] for [[Evrem Guilako]]. Due to this trade and their record setting [[Shootout Showdown]] record, they came in 9th place.

In [[Altador Cup VI]] they improved very much and got out of the third tier and fought to get 5th place. They were defeated by [[Meridell]] and [[Darigan Citadel]] and ended in 8th place.

Under the new system of play, Terror Mountain's crew seemed to suffer greatly - claiming only one Yooyuball win in the first two rounds. However, in the second half of the tournament, they cleaned up their act and began to pick wins here and there, though still generally under-performing against top tier threats. Despite their hardships, the team managed to slide into a tie with [[Brightvale]] for 11th.

In [[Altador Cup VIII]] Terror Mountain was more focused then ever. They started sloppy but grew in strength all the way to the top. In the end this was good enough for a 7th place, the best ranking ever for Prytariel's team.

A year after their best ranking ever, the expectations were high and tensed for Team Terror Mountain. Perhaps a bit too tensed for the players in [[Altador Cup IX]]. They couldn't get into their usual flow and when they finally did in the last round it was too late. Still, they made it to the 13th place and tied with Roo Island and Shenkuu.

Team Shenkuu

2014-07-03T11:45:49Z

81.206.154.93:

[[Image:AC IX shenkuu.gif|frame|right|Team Shenkuu's line up in 2014 - from left, Larcy Phu, Mirsha Grelinek, Antola Maeir, Timu, and Xana DiLanche.]]

Joining the [[Altador Cup]] in 2007, '''[[Shenkuu]]'s Yooyuball team''' is regarded by [[Altador Cup]] enthusiasts as an exciting young team with plenty of promise, but they were expected not to make much noise in the tournament, having too many holes in their team. The inexperience of goalie [[Xana DiLanche]], the unpredictable health of defender [[Turo Rafels]], and the team's overall lack of tournament play are all serious concerns. However, the stunning talent of young forwards [[Mirsha Grelinek]] and [[Foltaggio]] may cause a few upsets.

The team surpassed expectations in the [[Altador Cup II|2007 Cup]], defeating [[Krawk Island]] in the third place game. The following year in [[Altador Cup III]], they dropped one spot to fourth place. In [[Altador Cup IV]], Shenkuu shockingly defeated top seed [[Kreludor]] to reach the finals, but lost to [[Krawk Island]] was left in second. Although they were favourites going into [[Altador Cup V]] thanks to their strong prior performances, Shenkuu's 2010 bid ended in a very disappointing 11th place finish.

[[Altador Cup VI]] continued Shenkuu's inconsistency. Finishing yet again in third tier at the end, the team finished 10th after defeating [[Haunted Woods]], but losing to [[Roo Island]].

After two years of subpar performance, the worry that Shenkuu would never return to the powerhouse team it once was persisted as [[Altador Cup VII]]'s new system threatened the stability of certain powerhouses. The year was fraught with peril, as [[Mystery Island]] suddenly emerged as a powerhouse. Losing a good deal of their matches, things did not bode well for the ninjas, which resulted in a dismal 16th place finish.

In 2012, Team Shenkuu made a lot of changes in their roster. Club icon Foltaggio was replaced for the Altadorian defender [[Timu]]. Therefore the formation became a 1+3 with Mirsha Grelinek as only Forward.

Eventhough Team Shenkuu made a jump in [[Altador Cup VIII]] to the 12th place. Still it did not change the fact that Shenkuu didn't score higher than the 10th place over the last 4 years. The nightmare for Team Shenkuu keeps on lasting, and is generally not being seen as a powerhouse anymore. The reason for their bad results is probably because of their great desire for the 1st place since [[Altador Cup IV]], but not having the capacity and thus overestimating themselfs.

After a minor growth last year, Shenkuu had hoped for more in [[Altador Cup IX]]. Sadly Shenkuu simply cannot do any better. Mirsha Grelinek and teammates did their best but 13th in a tie with Roo Island and Terror Mountain was all they could.

Team Roo Island

2014-07-03T11:42:00Z

81.206.154.93: /* Final Standings */ tie

{|align=right
|http://images.neopets.com/altador/altadorcup/news/2008/winners_400.jpg
|}

'''Roo Island's [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team''' consists of also-rans and inexperienced rookies, but received a huge boost when [[Lilo Blumario]], one of the game's top players, decided to take a pay cut and sign up with his hometown club. In what was considered improbable and the biggest story of [[Altador Cup 2006]], Roo Island managed to reach Round 3 of the tournament, being defeated by [[Darigan Citadel]] and placing as number four. After a voting of fans and players that Roo Island had the ugliest jersey, fans hoped to do even better this past tournament,with a new uniform and the team's signing of [[Maraqua#Colour|Maraquan]] forward [[Jair Tollet]], who was traded to Roo Island for [[Dayla]], the red Lenny (She got injured in the first practice and never played again). This helped Roo Island make it to the final match, losing to [[Darigan Citadel]], and overall placing in second.

Third time proved to be the charm, when in [[Altador Cup III|2008]], Roo Island beat Krawk Island in the Altador Cup final, claiming the cup. In 09, however, Roo Island placed ninth. In [[Altador Cup V|2010]], Roo Island was questioned for making no changes to their lineup in the offseason. However, though a pedestrian start first half, they kicked it up a notch before the mid-season break by winning 16 of the last 19 matches. This catapulted them up to 4th place going into the finals. [[Kreludor]] was able to sneak out a victory in the first round, and [[Darigan Citadel]] defeated them in the second round, leaving 4th place to Roo Island. They were contenders for the Cup in 11'. Even though their Yooyuball record was great, their side game performance wasn't up to par and ended back in 9th place.

[[Altador Cup VII]]'s new style didn't fare well for Roo Island, and frequent matchups against powerful teams did not fare well. Further, with [[Mystery Island]]'s upgrade to a powerhouse force, many worried of what else would come to the Roos. Even with a roster change, trading popular defender [[Gordo Gunnels]] with equally popular [["Squeaky" Tressif]], the Roos suffered. The result was a 14th place finish, a position far below what is expected of them.

In [[Altador Cup VIII]] Roo Island regained its strenght. Starting the tournament with a full sweep against teams like Lost Desert, Mystery Island, Maraqua and Shenkuu. And gained victory while fighting powerhouses like [[Team Darigan Citadel]] and [[Team Kreludor]]. Eventually they were only unable to defeat the suprises of that years tournament; Altador and Tyrannia, ending up at the 3rd place. But still the best result since their victory of the Cup, proving that Roo Island is still a traditional powerhouse.

Unfortunately, it became very quickly clear that Roo Island wouldn't repeat her previous performance. They lost a lot of marches in [[Altador Cup IX]] but fought bravely. In the end they tied with both Terror Mountain and Shenkuu for the 13th place.

==Fun Fact==
What can a Yooyuball team do when their shipment of practice Yooyus never arrives? Well, if they're Team Roo Island, they turn to gummies! "I was doubtful at first," said team captain Lilo Blumario, "but King Roo spared no expense and even had the Chocolate Factory rig up an exploding gummy Yooyu to mimic the clockwork Yooyus." The only downside? "We just have to keep Gordo Gunnels from eating the gummy Yooyus before practice is over."

Team Maraqua

2014-07-03T11:36:01Z

81.206.154.93:

[[Image:AC IX maraqua.gif|frame|right|Team Maraqua's line up in 2014 - from top, Tonie Plessix, Elon "The Black Hole" Hughlis, Oten Runeu, Lamelle Turow, and Barit Jowes.]]

'''Maraqua's [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team''' could be described as "a house divided," due to the antics of their star forward. [[Elon Hughlis]] is more concerned with his personal accomplishments than actual wins and losses, making him a headache to the team. He looks down on his teammates who aren't as talented as him, and they endure him due to his tremendous ability.

After getting beaten in the first round of [[Altador Cup 2006]], fans thought Maraqua would cut its losses and get rid of Elon Hughlis. When it became apparent that Hughlis wasn't leaving, they decide to trade other foward, [[Jair Tollet]] for [[Roo Island]]'s [[Dayla]] (injured in preseason). Considering Hughlis insisted on scoring most of the team's goals, Maraqua decided having three defenders in the lineup worked best for them, adding hefty defence man [[Oten Runeu]] to their starting unit. As a result, Maraqua looked to have one of the toughest squads in Neopia to score against, later proved to be false after placing ninth and tenth in the following two cups.

However, in 09, even though Maraqua was defeated in the first match by [[Kiko Lake]], the team was able to win the second bracket, putting them in 5th place, a drastic improvement from their following years of 10th, 9th, and 10th.

In [[Altador Cup V]], the team was hyped about a lot. However, due to a tough series of matches where they had to face the top three teams; [[Lost Desert]], [[Kreludor]], and [[Darigan Citadel]] in a row, and not faring well against any of them, they dropped from a strong fifth at the end of round one, to a struggling eighth at the end of round two. However, In the Finals they shined once again, beating [[Meridell]] who were consistently placed in the top four before being slightly edged out near the end by [[Roo Island]], the defeating [[Virtupets Space Station]] to claim the same spot they claimed the year before, 5th.

In 2011's [[Altador Cup VI]] they added [[Lost Desert]]'s defender Lamelle Turow because Dorina Hals retired. With a teammate from the winning team of Altador Cup V, people thought that Maraqua would have a very good shot at winning. Though they weren't quite able to play up to par with the other top tier teams, they managed to claim 4th after losing to [[Virtupets]] and [[Kreludor]], the best they've ever done.

Under new gameplay rules introduced in [[Altador Cup VII]], Maraqua had no signs of suffering in the first round, where they had generally respectable showings despite facing tremendous threats in the bracket, such as [[Krawk Island]], [[Darigan Citadel]], and (we had thought at the time) [[Virtupets Space Station]]. However, after [[Kiko Lake]]'s sweeping of Maraqua, things seemed to fall downhill. Still, Maraqua's greatness varied; for example, they were defeated by [[Tyrannia]] one time, then swept them the next time they met. With all things considered, Maraqua fell from last year's greatness to 8th.

The demise of Team Maraqua lingered on as they became 9th in a tie in [[Altador Cup VIII]].

In the [[Altador Cup IX]] Maraqua made a great start in the first three brackets. This made the hope grow that they would finally return from the shadow that has been haunting them for years. Regretable, Maraqua became last in the final two brackets. Dropping down in the rankings to the 12th place. Their worst placing ever, surpassing the scores of 2006 and 2008.

Team Mystery Island

2014-07-03T11:29:27Z

81.206.154.93:

[[Image:AC IX mystery island.gif|frame|right|Team Mystery Island's line up in 2014 - from left, Lor Benneveldt, Vela Binal, Teylor Nix, Volgoth, and Selmon Woulf.]]

'''Mystery Island's [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team''' is led by [[Teylore Nix]] and the unstoppable brute force of [[Volgoth]]. They entered the 2006 Altador Cup with a punishing offensive arsenal few teams could hope to keep pace with, and were the odds-on favourite to bring home the cup despite the shaky status of their goalkeeper. After defeating [[Faerieland]] in Round One, however, Mystery Island's scoring duo was stopped by [[Krawk Island]] goaltender [[Garven Hale]]. The following year, Mystery Island kept the same roster, yet the team was quick to point out they're more wiser and reliant on brains than sheer speed and brute force, making it seem their defeat humbled them to bring out their very best. However in the middle of the season, their star defender [[Maital Koric]] got injured in a game against [[Meridell]] half way through the season and Mystery Island was forced to replace him the the inexperienced [[Vela Binal]]. However, Binal rose to the occasion and they finished 2007 in 6th place, same as the previous year. In [[Altador Cup III|2008]], Mystery Island had a new goalkeeper and a new spirit, hoping to finally crack the top 4. However, they had a rough year and finished 9th. But in [[Altador Cup IV|2009]] they were back to their old ways, finishing 6th. However, their victory was short lived because [[Altador Cup V|the following year]] they finish 14th, the worst they had ever done. [[Altador Cup VI]] continued to pull inconsistent matchups, finishing the year in 14th yet again, after winning against [[Kiko Lake]] and losing to [[Lost Desert]].

After the inclusion of [[Selmon Woulf]] as a replacement for [[Bertie Shurtz]], in [[Altador Cup VII]], the Mystery Island team had an incredibly successful outburst. It was obvious from the beginning; having not lost a single Yooyuball match until towards the end of the second round, they were highly successful throughout all the rounds. Claiming win after win against powerhouses such as [[Lost Desert]] and [[Maraqua]], and even defeating [[Krawk Island]] and [[Meridell]], two favorites going into the tournament, fans saw them as a team to be feared. By the end of the four rounds, Mystery Island soared to a tie for 2nd place, alongside Meridell. In doing so, they went into the tiebreaker match, in which the team was victorious against Meridell and secured 2nd place.

After a historical achievement, Mystery Island gravely disappointed in [[Altador Cup VIII]] where they became 15th.

The series of disappointments were followed by a small growth in the rankings of [[Altador Cup IX]] for Team Mystery Island. They had a very average tournament, in which they won some and lost some. Bounced up and down in de bracket rankings to finally end up 11th of the Altador Cup IX.

'''Brightvale's Yooyuball team''' was known for being the most crooked line up of cheating and rough players, despite being from the land of wisdom and learning. They know the rules of the game very well, and use it to their advantage by giving sharp jabs to the ribs when no one's looking and other such tricks to win. Their reputation of rough playing was once even greater than that of [[Darigan Citadel]] and the [[Haunted Woods]].

After being defeated by the Haunted Woods in Round Two of the 2006 games and finishing 8th, Brightvale claimed to have learned the error of their ways for many different reasons (not wanting to shame King Hagan, their tactics were no match for the tournament's better teams, increased popularity means more merchandise sales, etc.). Taking a cue from team captain [["Squeaky" Tressif]], they turned over a new leaf and decided to play fair. While their playing style during the regular season indicated they have cleaned up their act, they finished 12th in the 2007 season, four spots worse then the year before. There was talk of Brightvale playing dirty again in the 2008 cup, but they took the high road and signed rookie sensation goalkeeper [[Erli Quinnock]], who overall was a disappointment and the team finished dead last in the cup.

In 2009, Brightvale did not participate in the cup because [[King Hagan]] said, "It has been my personal observation that in the weeks leading up to the arrival of this grand sporting spectacle, there's been far too much banner-making and memorising of chants going on. As a result, the very foundation upon which this kingdom's reputation is based, its scholarship, has fallen prey to a serious case of neglect. Therefore, until my subjects have shown an ability to strike a harmonious balance between work and play, we shall forthwith be suspending our participation in the Altador Cup." When asked to respond to claims that the real reason behind Brightvale's departure from the Altador Cup was a string of embarrassing losses to rival kingdom [[Meridell]] (which is ruled by Hagan's brother [[King Skarl]]), His Majesty gruffly declined to comment, stating that "such accusations are not worth dignifying with a reply."

In 2010, after their one year hiatus, Brightvale decided to bring their original goalkeeper [[Orie Dinelle]] back, while sending Erli Quinnock to [[Kiko Lake]]. Expectations weren't too high for team Brightvale, however they shocked [[Neopia]] by winning 6 out of their first 10 games, 3 of which were sweeps. However their great success did not last too long, as they lost 5 straight games and then 9 of the next 11. Although they lost four straight going into the finals, they beat [[Faerieland]] and [[Mystery Island]] respectively to enter and exit the finals in 13th place.

In [[Altador Cup VI]], results continued their trend of improvement since 2008. This time, they were able to break third tier for the first time since 2007, finishing in 12th after being defeated by [[Roo Island]] and [[Haunted Woods]].

2012 saw a great change to Brightvale's lineup, in which team captain "Squeaky" Tressif moved on to Roo Island's team, while Roo Island sent [[Gordo Gunnels]] to be Brightvale's new left defender. In doing so, [[Montecito]] became the new team captain. Brightvale fell to a different pattern than usual; while they usual start strong then fade, they saw their peak in the second and third rounds. Able to hold their own against stronger teams, they continued improving with an 11th place finish, in a tie with [[Terror Mountain]].

In 2013 things didn't improve for Brightvale, the first days of the tournament started hopeful but eventually things went back to the level we're used of with Brightvale. Ending up 11th again.

At the [[Altador Cup IX]] Brightvale had a rough start but grew as the tournament continued. From place five in Round 2 they climed up to place four, three and two in the following rounds. They made some impressive victories against teams like Roo Island and Lost Desert, this resulted in the 10th place this year. That 10th place of Brightvale is their best performance since 2006.

'''Krawk Island's [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team''' is filled with "loveable winners" who have managed to pull together and win most of their matches. Their fans are the most enthusiastic, but due to the team's failures are also the most suffering. It was hoped [[Altador Cup 2006]] would be the year "Ol' Dash and the gang" would take the win, and despite being expected not even to pass Round 1, they continued to play to Round 3.

Led by forward [["Dasher" Soley]] (who has hinted he may retire after the tournament of 2006) and ''Goalkeeper'' [[Garven Hale]] (whose skills allowed them to progress through the tournament), it was hoped [[Altador Cup 2007]] would be another spectacular year, especially with the addition of defenseman [[Zayle Sufhaux]] (who replaced last year's starter, [[Hoke Lemtry]]). Unfortunately they lost to the "underdog" team that was [[Shenkuu]] on the finals, earning them 4th place.

Hoping that [[Altador Cup III]] was finally their year, Krawk Island was surely the favorite to win 2008. The roster was to be the same, and both veterans "Dasher" Soley and Garven Hale were ready to finally win Krawk Island a cup. After a strong stretch all the way to the finals, they only needed to beat [[Shenkuu]] and [[Roo Island]] to win the cup. After beating Shenkuu, which surely was sweet revenge after losing to the previous year's cup, only Roo Island stood on their way to coveted Altador Cup. But another shocking lost(Like the previous before to Shenkuu) paved way to Krawk Island as they lost to Roo Island to earn them 2nd place. The new found rivalry between these two teams has proven to be a great one.

To [[Altador Cup IV]] Krawk Island went, and they were sure ready to finally win a cup as the sole remaining out of the "Original Four" ([[Haunted Woods]], [[Darigan Citadel]], and Roo Island being the others)to not have won yet. Like the previous year, no roster changes appeared in 2009 so it was now or never, cause "Dasher" Soley seem ready to retire soon. As well like the previous, they blazed through to the Finals, with major accomplishments to major disappointments (ie: A sweep from Kreludor) but still earning them a 2nd seed spot through the finals. After quite a major victory from "[[Yooyuball]]" powerhouse, [[Lost Desert]], they only needed to beat [[Shenkuu]] to finally win. The match between Shenkuu and Krawk Island was a sure classic as this two teams had battled it out many times before, with the two major matches before giving way to a win for both teams, so now this was a deciding factor, who would rein supreme. Finally, Krawk Island had done it, with a intense battle between the pirates and ninjas, Krawk Island finally won the match and with it the Altador Cup earning them their first cup.

In [[Altador Cup V]] talk of the "winner's curse" was very common. While some said that Krawk Island won't fall as hard as the others, while others said they'd fall worse. About a month before sign ups, rumors surfaced that [["Dasher" Soley]] had finally retired. And when the rumors were proven true, with Hale becoming team captain, even the Krawk Island supporters were worried. However, when Soley's replacement, [[Feldon "Dinksy" Collibridge]], injured her right leg, Krawk Island had to call Soley out of his retirement for on last season. As all of [[Neopia]] held their breath to see how Dasher's Squad would do, Krawk Island got off to a pedestrian start. Trading wins with losses, they entered the finals in 6th place, though after loosing to [[Virtupets]] they finished the season in 7th.

With "Dasher" Soley retiring after his replacement was okay, [[Feldon "Dinksy" Collibridge]] replaced him. She helped the team get back to its glory and get back to the top tier. They defeated predicted-to-win [[Kreludor]] and fought with [[Virtupets]] for their second chance to get the Cup but slightly fell apart and ended up 2nd. They are the only team that got into the Top 4 5 times.

[[Altador Cup VII]] and its infamous new format came as a threat to the team's stability, as it did with most teams. However, the team still did relatively well, claiming wins where wins were due. However, they had little to stand up to the top 4 of the year, with [[Mystery Island]] and [[Meridell]] nearly sweeping them, and [[Kreludor]] and [[Darigan Citadel]] successfully sweeping them on their first encounters. Without that added power that Krawk Island is famous for, they faltered and met with 7th place, same as [[Altador Cup V]] and thus their worst position to date.

in 2014 the Team replaced their star player [[Ealyn Hawkshanks]] for the Kreludian defender [[Coco Metrone]]. She was placed Centre Defender in Team Krawk Island. Thus the Krawks changed they're default Yooyuball formation from 2+2 to a 1+3 formation. The addition to the defence wasn't much of an upgrade for Krawk Island in [[Altador Cup IX]]. They couldn't keep up with the top eventhough they had some sweeps. And so Krawk Island sadly ended up a shocking 8th in the rankings. Their worst position ever.

'''Kreludor's [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team''' is not the most physically gifted team, but is considered the most disciplined and fundamentally sound group in game. Able to befuddle defenders with torrents of crisp passes and a labrynth of picks and blocks, Kreludor has been known to take their more talented opponents and tie them in knots.

In the 2007 [[Altador Cup]], Kreludor did not participate. They were replaced by Shenkuu, but returned in 2008 replacing Kiko Lake. Although storming the competition in 09', going into the bracket as the top seed, they had to settle for fourth after defeats from [[Shenkuu]] and the [[Lost Desert]].

During the [[Altador Cup V]] Kreludor was a top contender and though they entered the finals in 1st, they left in 2nd.

In 2011's [[Altador Cup VI]], Kreludor made the finals once again but got knocked out by [[Krawk Island]]. Despite so, they were able to pull a win against [[Maraqua]] in order to secure 3rd and get the bronze. Hungry for a win in [[Altador Cup VII]], the team was truly dedicated in their matches. Under the new system of play, the team was able to secure first place in every single round, which effectively placed them in first place and winners of Altador Cup VII.

In response to dropping to the 7th place after their victory of the Cup in [[Altador Cup VII]] the Kreludian team decided to strengthen their attack by trading defender [[Coco Metrone]] for Krawk Islands attacker [[Ealyn Hawkshanks]]. Therefore their formation changed from 2+2 to 3+1. In the [[Altador Cup IX]] this however did not prove fruitful. Though they managed to score a lot, too many yooyu's ended in their on goal. THey finished 7th again.

==Fun Fact==
Team captain Derlyn Fonnet tells us she's become penpals with Haunted Woods player "Brains" Mortigan. "He's pretty witty," she admits, "and he's got great tips for Yooyuball. We're still very competitive, of course." Meanwhile, teammates Zenor and Qyldae spent a little too much time relaxing in the sun last month in Qasala and came back with terrible sunburns, but we hear they're recovering thanks to a few dozen Grape Slurpships.

'''Kiko Lake's [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team''' is a strong contender, but entered 2006 with a lot to prove, due to the injury of [[Helmo Timm]], the flashy (yet erratic) play of goalkeeper [[Ditan Colb]], and their superstar defender [[Meela Kitah]] coming off the worst year of her career. Not making it past the first round, fans hoped for a surprise in 2007, similar to that of [[Roo Island]]'s team, though many believed they wouldn't make it past the Round-Robin Phase. With the addition of forward [[Moni Vyshan]], they hoped the team would be more competitive than the previous year's.

En route to AC III, they were sidelined by a rock slide. Kiko Lake entered AC IV with a drastic lineup change fans thought would help them a lot. Although this new line-up beat Maraqua in the first game which led to be a confidence booster, they later fell from grace and into the final bracket being beaten by Terror Mountain, placing them 14th. And after making no changes to their lineup in [[Altador Cup V|2010]] they were not expected to do much better. Though after beating expected contender [[Shenkuu]] in game one, they didn't play well after leaving them in 16th place at the end of the finals.

[[Altador Cup VI]] had the Kiko Lakers excited for some time, holding 11th place for much of the second round-robin. However, as they began to falter against stronger teams, Teams Shenkuu and [[Brightvale]] kicked them out to fourth tier. Then, going into finals, they lost against [[Mystery Island]]. However, after losing against [[Faerieland]], they finished 16th.

Under the new system of play introduced in [[Altador Cup VII]], Team Kiko Lake had a massive improvement over previous years' performance. Starting off incredibly strong, they were able to defeat primary threats such as [[Meridell]] and [[Tyrannia]] in the first round. Continuing this trend into the second round, fans were shocked when they pulled off three sweeps in a row against [[Maraqua]], [[Moltara]], and [[Faerieland]]. However, progressing into the third round, they slowed down to a point where in the fourth round, they didn't claim a single Yooyuball win. Regardless, the Kikos finished strong in 6th, a massive improvement over previous underwhelming finishes.

In [[Altador Cup VIII]] their arrogance got the better of Kiko Lake. They took their former succes for granted and had a weak performance. They finished 14th.

By [[Altador Cup IX]] Kiko Lake had learned from their mistakes they made last year. They restored their fans trust by making a strong appearence. Their main strenght was Yooyuball, they were even able to defeat Haunted Woods and Moltara in Yooyuball. Although their fierce play in Yooyuball wasn't enough for a top5 ranking, Kiko Lake did reach their old level by finishing 6th.

Team Darigan Citadel

2014-07-03T09:55:26Z

81.206.154.93: /* Final Standings */ tie

{|align=right
|http://images.neopets.com/altador/altadorcup/standings_ac2_winners.gif
|}

'''Darigan's Yooyuball team''' have few major weaknesses, although they have been criticized in the past for playing too easy a schedule during the regular season, and as a result are unprepared when the tournament comes. To fix this, Darigan Citadel relented and added more matches against a few of the better teams for the 2006 season. Due to this they didn't finish as high in the standings as they normally did, but it gave them the toughness to play in the games which mattered the most (or at least this is what the fans hoped). Their tactic paid off, and they managed to place 2nd in the [[Altador Cup]], ending their reputation as post-season underachievers.

Rather than rest, however, the Citadel's team made an upgrade for the ''Goalkeeper'', replacing the less-than-mobile [[Mungo Lifler]] with promising netminder [[Reshar Collifey]] for the 2007 season. And due to the success of the previous year's tactic, Darigan again faced a string of difficult teams for their regular schedule. Darigan was from the start considered the favourite of the [[Altador Cup 2007|2007 Altador Cup]], maintaining a position at the top of the leader-board for the round robin. In the finals it faced off against [[Roo Island#Yooyuball|Roo Island]]'s team and finally won the Cup on July 9th. However, they also fell to the curse of previous winner [[Haunted Woods]] and subsequent winner Roo Island to not be able to reach the standard again, placing seventh the following year and the year after that, although showing promise initially, placing seventh again after a round one loss to [[Mystery Island]].

Coming into [[Altador Cup V]], Darigan Citadel was favorite to win the Cup, so the expectations were high. Even though they were swept by [[Brightvale]] on day one, they roared back winning 15 of their next 17 games, soaring to the top of the standings. Ending the season with a record of 23-4-7, they were in 3rd place going into the finals, getting ready to face off against [[Lost Desert]]. Though they lost, they were able to beat [[Roo Island]] in round two to end the season with the bronze.

Going into [[Altador Cup VI]], many teams were on the watch for the Darigan crew, who were looking for a second win. However, they didn't manage to hold in first tier for long and ended the round-robin in the second tier. Losing to [[Tyrannia]] in the first finals round, they defeated [[Terror Mountain]] to secure 7th place, the 3rd time they have been in that spot.

Going into [[Altador Cup VII]], with a new style of tournament, there was some question whether or not the team would return to its former glory in Altador Cup II. However, they showed the same determination and power that they had in the early days of the Altador Cup, grabbing a multitude of sweeps. They especially looked strong at the fourth round, pulling off four sweeps in a row against [[Altador]], [[Tyrannia]], [[Krawk Island]], AND [[Maraqua]]. However, having faced [[Kreludor]] four times and lost all of them (the last of which was a sweep), they were forced back. Despite this weakness, they climbed back up to 4th.

After missing the podium by an inch in the last tournament, Darigan Citadel was determined to make it to the top3 in [[Altador Cup VIII]]. Though they quickly discovered the dream to be a little to good. They were swept by Tyrannia and Altador and lost in the brackets from Roo Island and Krawk Island. So they ended up 5th, losing one spot compared to last year.

In the [[Altador Cup IX]] the Citadel performed strong once again. And almost creating a personal sweeping record. Their main opponents weren't the powerhouses of old but newly risen forces. Such as Moltara, and a reborn Haunted Woods and Virtupets. But also titledefender Tyrannia who didn't suffer from the alleged "Winners Curse". Reaching the top3 was impossible in the end, but they did claim the 4th place in a tie with Tyrannia. Making it their third good year in a row in which Team Darigan Citadel conquers the top5.

Considering their team's fearsome nature, it may be hard to believe Darigan's players are avid practical jokers. "Frein's the worst one," forward Tandrak Shaye revealed. "He got his nickname, 'The Terror,' long before playing Yooyuball. You learn quick with that one -- if you need something from the kitchen, you'd best take your food with you, or else it will be tampered with. Make no mistake, however -- we're all business out on the field."

Team Darigan Citadel is the only team who has never placed below 7th at any Altador Cup.

Team Tyrannia

2014-07-03T09:54:23Z

81.206.154.93:

[[Image:AC IX tyrannia.gif|right|frame|Team Tyrannia's line up as of 2014 - from top, Loryche, "Spikes" Barmie, Mor Gollog, "Scrap" Taggert, and Willa Benne.]]

'''[[Tyrannia]]'s [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team''' was assembled a few years before 2006 from a group made almost entirely of players whose original teams had given up on them. After a series of trades and waiver wire acquisitions, Tyrannia began to transform its motley bunch of cast-offs into a selfless squad of warriors. Driven by a desire to show everyone how wrong they were to write them off, Tyrannia's "Forsaken Five" have gone on to become one of the most successful Yooyuball teams.

After their defeat in the first round playoff by [[Roo Island]] in 2006, many expected Tyrannia to retool their lineup in 2007. Rather than act on this, Tyrannia's managers believed they were simply unlucky, due to the fact it was hard to imagine anyone defeating Roo Island. They kept the tight knit "Forsaken Five" together, believing it would be a horrible mistake to break up one of the best Yooyuball teams in Neopia over a single playoff loss. However, their minds changed after the 2009 season, trading Evrem Guilako for Terror Mountain's Elbin Kroe. However it appears they got the bad end of this deal as they finished 10th, while [[Terror Mountain]] finished 9th.

[[Elbin Kroe]] moved to [[Faerieland]] before [[Altador Cup VI]] started. Tyrannia hired [["Spikes" Barmie]] to be their new Right Defender. This helped Tyrannia and the team turned into a fierce competitor. They defeated [[Darigan Citadel]] before they were stopped by [[Meridell]] and ended up in 6th place.

[[Altador Cup VII]] was a new format, and whether it would help Tyrannia or not was debatable. They had a mixed bag of success and failure over the first few matches, alternating from pulling off sweeps to being the ones being swept. They began to hit their stride in the second and third rounds of the tournament, before the fourth round forsaw their collapse. However, despite their lower 10th place finish, they proved they were still strong, and the spirit of the "Forsaken Five" lives on.

In the preparation for [[Altador Cup VIII]] they exchanged Goalkeepers with [[Team Moltara]], therefore gaining the strength of Mor Gollog. The team spirit that year was never better and the mechanism functionated like an oiled machine. Already soon in the competition they proved themself even worthy for the title. As the time went on their only rival for the Cup was Altador, in the decisive match between them, Mor Gollog proved himself of great value and reassured the Cup for Team Tyrannia. An impressive achievement that no one saw coming. But Loryche was always sure of to be possible.

The expactations were low for Tyrannia at the start of [[Altador Cup IX]]. Over the past six years, winning teams were tormented by the "Winners Curse" the year after their grand victory. Team Tyrannia however fought hard and shocked the world of Yooyuball. They were able to compete with the favorites, breaking through their "unbeated" status. Unfortunately Tyrannia simply wasn't good enough but still managed to finish 4th in a tie with Darigan Citadel. Their top5 position was proof that Tyrannia is in fact the first team ever who doesn't suffer the Winners Curse.

Team Darigan Citadel

'''Darigan's Yooyuball team''' have few major weaknesses, although they have been criticized in the past for playing too easy a schedule during the regular season, and as a result are unprepared when the tournament comes. To fix this, Darigan Citadel relented and added more matches against a few of the better teams for the 2006 season. Due to this they didn't finish as high in the standings as they normally did, but it gave them the toughness to play in the games which mattered the most (or at least this is what the fans hoped). Their tactic paid off, and they managed to place 2nd in the [[Altador Cup]], ending their reputation as post-season underachievers.

Rather than rest, however, the Citadel's team made an upgrade for the ''Goalkeeper'', replacing the less-than-mobile [[Mungo Lifler]] with promising netminder [[Reshar Collifey]] for the 2007 season. And due to the success of the previous year's tactic, Darigan again faced a string of difficult teams for their regular schedule. Darigan was from the start considered the favourite of the [[Altador Cup 2007|2007 Altador Cup]], maintaining a position at the top of the leader-board for the round robin. In the finals it faced off against [[Roo Island#Yooyuball|Roo Island]]'s team and finally won the Cup on July 9th. However, they also fell to the curse of previous winner [[Haunted Woods]] and subsequent winner Roo Island to not be able to reach the standard again, placing seventh the following year and the year after that, although showing promise initially, placing seventh again after a round one loss to [[Mystery Island]].

Coming into [[Altador Cup V]], Darigan Citadel was favorite to win the Cup, so the expectations were high. Even though they were swept by [[Brightvale]] on day one, they roared back winning 15 of their next 17 games, soaring to the top of the standings. Ending the season with a record of 23-4-7, they were in 3rd place going into the finals, getting ready to face off against [[Lost Desert]]. Though they lost, they were able to beat [[Roo Island]] in round two to end the season with the bronze.

Going into [[Altador Cup VI]], many teams were on the watch for the Darigan crew, who were looking for a second win. However, they didn't manage to hold in first tier for long and ended the round-robin in the second tier. Losing to [[Tyrannia]] in the first finals round, they defeated [[Terror Mountain]] to secure 7th place, the 3rd time they have been in that spot.

Going into [[Altador Cup VII]], with a new style of tournament, there was some question whether or not the team would return to its former glory in Altador Cup II. However, they showed the same determination and power that they had in the early days of the Altador Cup, grabbing a multitude of sweeps. They especially looked strong at the fourth round, pulling off four sweeps in a row against [[Altador]], [[Tyrannia]], [[Krawk Island]], AND [[Maraqua]]. However, having faced [[Kreludor]] four times and lost all of them (the last of which was a sweep), they were forced back. Despite this weakness, they climbed back up to 4th.

After missing the podium by an inch in the last tournament, Darigan Citadel was determined to make it to the top3 in [[Altador Cup VIII]]. Though they quickly discovered the dream to be a little to good. They were swept by Tyrannia and Altador and lost in the brackets from Roo Island and Krawk Island. So they ended up 5th, losing one spot compared to last year.

In the [[Altador Cup IX]] the Citadel performed strong once again. And almost creating a personal sweeping record. Their main opponents weren't the powerhouses of old but newly risen forces. Such as Moltara, and a reborn Haunted Woods and Virtupets. But also titledefender Tyrannia who didn't suffer from the alleged "Winners Curse". Reaching the top3 was impossible in the end, but they did claim the 4th place in a tie with Tyrannia. Making it their third good year in a row in which Team Darigan Citadel conquers the top5.

==Fun Facts==
Considering their team's fearsome nature, it may be hard to believe Darigan's players are avid practical jokers. "Frein's the worst one," forward Tandrak Shaye revealed. "He got his nickname, 'The Terror,' long before playing Yooyuball. You learn quick with that one -- if you need something from the kitchen, you'd best take your food with you, or else it will be tampered with. Make no mistake, however -- we're all business out on the field."

The only other team not to place below seventh in any tournament was [[Team Krawk Island]].

Team Moltara

'''[[Moltara]]''' joined in [[Altador Cup V]]. There was a lot of hype for them coming into the Cup, expected to be a serious contender, however it would be an understatement to say they were a huge disappointment. Having never won a single [[Yooyuball]] game, they came in 18th place going into the finals, and stayed that way until the end. Though they may not be the best [[Yooyuball]] squad, they have an undeniable fighting spirit.

Unfortunately, [[Altador Cup VI]] gave no new improvements to the team. However, things were looking up when Moltara went into the consolation bracket with 3 Yooyuball wins, including an upset win over powerhouse team [[Krawk Island]], while [[Altador]], the other team in the consolation bracket, had none. However, they lost key games in Yooyuball, winning two and losing two, while Team Altador found an undeniable prowess in Slushie Slinger. As a result, Moltara finished dead last for the second year in a row.

In [[Altador Cup VII]], the new style of play did not affect Moltara's chances very much, but slow improvement was seen, as they swept [[Faerieland]] twice. Though their wins were rare, claiming very few in Yooyuball and a fair amount in the side games, they managed to pull through to climb up the standings slightly, going up to 15th.

By 2013 Moltara tried their chances with a new Goalkeeper, namely the experienced Tyrannian [[Harlis Neyhbol]]. Unluckely the effect of improvement was only temporary. After having their best score ever of a 15th place, they dropped back to the 18th place in [[Altador Cup VIII]].

Moltara started [[Altador Cup IX]] with the objective not to become last this year. Their enthousiasm brought them to a far higher level then anticipated though. They were even for a while a favorite to win the Cup. This dream was however crushed by former winners Haunted Woods and Virtupets. They had to satisfy with the 3rd place. But there was no sadness, because they had written history for their land.

Team Haunted Woods

2014-07-03T09:23:24Z

81.206.154.93:

[[Image:AC IX haunted woods.gif|frame|right|Team Haunted Woods' line up in 2014 - from left, Fanetti, Crade Talvos, Krell Vitor, Zo Junior, and "Brains" Mortigan.]]

The '''Haunted Woods [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team''' subscribes to the old saying "defense wins championships," and has built its team to shut down forwards and force mistakes which create easy scoring opportunities for them, requires plenty of discipline and determination from the other team to defeat them. The Haunted Woods won the Altador Cup of 2006.

With the retirement of veteran defender [[Chelo Binay]] in 2007, it was questioned whether the defensive unit of the team would be as good as last years. If the playing of newcomer [[Autrey Fulse]] was any indication, Haunted Woods fans with hopes of back-to-back titles wouldn't need to worry. However, the favourites going into last year's tournament were [[Altador]], [[Faerieland]], and [[Mystery Island]], so it's uncertain how the year would go. A disappointment to Haunted Woods fans was a drop from a championship to 7th, then continuing a gradual slide from grace with a 8th in [[Altador Cup III|'08]] and 10th in [[Altador Cup IV|'09]]. But in [[Altador Cup V|2010]], in hope of stopping their loosing skid, they added a new Centre Defender [["Brains" Mortigan]]. However, they in fact did worse than the previous year, finishing 12th.

The team crawled back up from the wreckage in [[Altador Cup VI]], and though they weren't quite able to reach second tier, the team stayed strong to push up one spot to 11th. The team was defeated by [[Shenkuu]] but won against [[Brightvale]].

[[Altador Cup VII]] was a rough year for the Haunted Woods, with their Yooyuball record being quite weak. In fact, in their 24 matches, only once did they win Yooyuball. However, their side-game ability was much better, which enabled them to push up the rankings yet again to 9th place.

2013 was the lucky year for Team Haunted Woods. [[Altador Cup VIII]] was probably the best Cup for Haunted Woods in 5 years. They swept many teams and as the tournament went on they kept getting even better. However, they're performances were only average, and so they finished 9th in a tie with [[Team Maraqua]].
In the next year an old veteran who helped to achieve the Cup in the first year, [[Wan Dirx]] decided to retire from Yooyuball. He made this decision for the better of the Team, and to clear his place for new young energy. Fans noted that he will always be remembered as a legendary defender. His replacement is [[Crade Talvos]], a [[Wraith]] [[Draik]].

In [[Altador Cup IX]] Haunted Woods was once again a contestant for the title thanks to the sharpness of the young talent Crade Talvos. Old times were reborn when it quickly became clear that Haunted Woods would become a serious favorite to win the Cup. They swept almost every team with sky-high numbers. The moment of truth came in the fourth round when they faced off with the two other favorites: Virtupets and Moltara. But they were no match for the Haunties. When it was all over Haunted Woods victorized and won the Altador Cup IX! And so, eight years after their first victory to become the first winner of the Altador Cup, Haunted Woods has become the very first team to win the Altador Cup twice! A both historic aswelll as ironic achievement.

Team Virtupets

{|align=right

'''[[Virtupets Space Station|Virtupet's]] [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team''' is a solid team of role players, though they are unspectacular in play. But due to star forward [[Keetra Deile]], she uses her brilliance and talent to elevate the play of those around her, making the team seem better than one would initially think. During [[Altador Cup 2006]], winning the tournament was viewed highly unlikely by the fans, but they believed an "upset" in the first or second round of the tournament wouldn't be out of the question. With their defeat by the [[Lost Desert]] in Round One, they failed to live up to the hype.

In [[Altador Cup 2007]], the Virtupets is once more led by up-and-coming superstar Keetra Deele, who vowed to take on much more responsibility for the team's scoring needs that year. With Deele picking up the scoring slack and newcomer [[Sela Pretore]] stepping in for underwhelming defender [[Kerib Vickers]], it was hoped the Space Station could rise up and surprise the experts. Despite a solid start, Virtupets would finish the season in dead last. In [[Altador Cup III|2008]] they got a new goalkeeper which helped them climb up the standings, finishing 12th in '08 and '09. But experts are still baffled when in [[Altador Cup V|2010]] Virtupets were a contender for the finals, and finished 6th.

In [[Altador Cup VI]] Virtupets did better than their previous years, scoring a near-perfect Make Some Noise record. They fought against [[Maraqua]] and [[Krawk Island]] for the Cup and emerged as the winners of the Altador Cup.

With a new style of play in [[Altador Cup VII]], there was no telling what would happen with the alleged "Winner's Curse." Some thought that due to the dedication that they showed last year, they wouldn't fall as hard as the other teams afflicted by the curse have. Others said that the new style would ruin the team. After only one round of gameplay, it became apparent that the team would fall hard, losing key matches and even drawing in Yooyuball against the traditionally bottom-barrel team [[Moltara]]. They still fared well against middle-tier teams, but their occasional run-in with top-tier threats never ended well. The result was a fall of [[Lost Desert]] proportions, ending the tournament in 13th.

2013 would become a disastrious year for Team Virtupets. The achieved a historical low amount of wins and finished their lowest position since Altador Cup II. Team Virtupets made it 16th, in a tie with Team Faerieland in [[Altador Cup IX]].

Only a year after their greatest disaster, Team Virtupets rised up in [[Altador Cup IX]] to the level they had 3 years ago. Keetra Deile and her teammates managed to sweep topteams like Darigan Citadel, Krawk Island and Kreludor. Becoming a major favorite for the title. However, in the fourth round Virtupets entered the same bracket as the other top favorites: Haunted Woods and Moltara. They were able to beat Moltara but lost to Haunted Woods. Thus in the end they had to settle with silver for the 2nd place.

Annual Gormball Championship

2014-06-29T12:35:38Z

81.206.154.93: typo

[[Image:Gormball champ.gif|right|frame|[[Thyassa]] has won the Championship four times.]]

The '''Annual [[Gormball]] Championship''' occurs every year on the 23rd of September between the characters in the Gormball game.

Although this is never an affair the Neopian public are involved in, nor are the Neopian public privy to the game itself, the results for the 2000 to 2013 games were uploaded each year to the Annual Gormball Championship [[Neopedia]] article. The event is sometimes mentioned on the New Features page, although there was no mention of it in Year 3 or Year 5, despite the Neopedia article being updated.

After 2005, the Gormball Championships Neopedia page wasn't edited for a long time, even though it was mentioned in the news. However, on September the 23rd in 2011, it was finally edited with all the scores of the previous years who were missing.

==Winners==
===2000 (Year 2)===
*'''Champion''': [[Brian]] ''*Disqualified*
*'''Runner-Up''': [[Thyassa]]
*'''Third Place''': [[Ursula]]

''This year's inaugral ''[sic]'' championship was a scandal-ridden affair, which concluded with Thyassa being declared the winner after Brian was disqualified for using a rigged ball. Despite his many protests to the contrary, the Scorchio's twitching eyebrows were a dead giveaway. Also of interest was a last-minute scratch by Dr. Sloth, who was sidelined by a mysterious prior commitment. Sloth's replacement, a Korbat named [[Kevin]], was obviously outclassed, yet managed to show some promise for the future.''

===2001 (Year 3)===
*'''Champion''': Thyassa
*'''Runner-Up''': [[Farvin III]]
*'''Third Place''': [[Gargarox Isafuhlarg]]

''After last year's controversial decision, Thyassa was under a great deal of pressure to prove that he was worthy of being regarded as a true champion. This year, though, all such questions were put to rest, as the sure-handed Chia put together a dominant performance and won a second straight title. A major surprise, though, was the strong showing by Farvin III, who used his ultra-powerful hearing ability to sense how close the ball was to popping. This extra-sensory advantage allowed the Alien Aisha to overcome his lack of familiarity with the game and make a strong showing, but in the end Thyassa's savvy and experience were simply too much.''

===2002 (Year 4)===
*'''Champion''': Ursula
*'''Runner-Up''': Gargarox Isafuhlarg
*'''Third Place''': [[Ember]]

''Given his strong showing last year, Farvin III was this year's odds-on favourite. However, many suspected foul-play, as a sudden ear infection waylaid the Alien Aisha's attempt to make a bid for the title. Luckily, those responsible for the deed were unable to capitalise on their trickery, as an Usul named Ursula rallied to pull through and get a much-deserved win. Known on the Gormball circuit as a tireless worker whose sense of fair play and dedication to the sport are unmatched, many of her fellow competitors were actually glad to see Ursula come away with the title, especially after she'd come so close two years earlier.''

===2003 (Year 5)===
*'''Champion''': Brian
*'''Runner-Up''': Farvin III
*'''Third Place''': [[Kevin]]

''Ever since his disqualification at the first championship, Brian had hardly been able to make it out of the first round during subsequent tournaments -- all the attention about what sort of dirty tricks he might have up his sleeve had made him too nervous to concentrate. However, after his surprising win this year, observers of the sport fell into two camps: those who believed that he'd finally been able to play fair and win, and those who thought that he'd simply found a way to keep those twitching eyebrows of his under control.''

===2004 (Year 6)===
*'''Champion''': Thyassa
*'''Runner-Up''': Kevin
*'''Third Place''': Gargarox Isafuhlarg

''Making good on the promise he began showing some years ago, Kevin has finally earned a place among the Gormball world's top players. After a surprising third-place finish last year, this Korbat Gormballer managed to come in second and prove that his success was no fluke.''

''The biggest story this year, though, wasn't Kevin, but rather the triumphant return of Thyassa. After winning the first two Gormball championships, this precocious Chia became increasingly frustrated with all the training that was necessary to stay on top. After taking a few years to pursue other interests, Thyassa came back this year with something to prove. Despite some signs of rust during the first few rounds, Thyassa managed a return to his winning ways, overcoming aggressive challenges from Kevin and Gargarox Isafuhlarg. ''

===2005 (Year 7)===
*'''Champion''': Ember
*'''Runner-Up''': Farvin III
*'''Third Place''': Brian

''In an unprecedented event, Ember blew away her competition, finally taking her place as a Gormball champion. Though Brian muttered about the possible use of faerie powers, most agreed he had no right to call anyone else a cheater and should be pleased that he placed third.''

''Farvin III earned Runner-Up for the third time, much to the alien Aisha's dismay. Rumour has it that, after his latest narrow loss, Farvin will be going into training for a solid year. Hopefully, this will give him the edge he needs to finally claim first place, a position that has long been just out of his reach.''

''Though most figured Thyassa would easily win this year, the Chia's game was a bit off due to a bad case of Sneezles. However, he promises to return next year and claim the title of champion for the fourth time. ''

===2006 (Year 8)===
*'''Champion''': Ember
*'''Runner-Up''': Farvin III
*'''Third Place''': Thyassa

Surprising even veteran fans of the sport, Ember took home the gold for the second year in a row, thanks to her relaxed, laidback playing style. Gormball after gormball steamed in her hands, indicating imminent explosions, but the Fire Faerie never lost her cool. The Fire Faerie balanced a zen-like calm with intent concentration, which her competitors scrambled -- and failed -- to match. Ursula was spotted storming off early in the game, already soaked, and vowing to spend the entire next year on top of Mount Usalin, training harder than ever.

Thyassa seemed strangely distracted; reporters overheard him muttering about devoting more time to training for a new game called Yooyuball, but when interviewed, he denied all.

===2007 (Year 9)===
*'''Champion''': Farvin III
*'''Runner-Up''': Ember
*'''Third Place''': Ursula

Farvin III finally wrested the title from Ember in a nail-biting game that went into overtime. While Ember was as focused as ever during the first part, Farvin's superior hearing enabled him to keep pace with her. Then disaster struck -- at least for some of the players. A meteor had hit Kreludor during the month of Relaxing, dislodging fragments from the moon. In a bizarre coincidence, one very large fragment abruptly lost its stable orbit during the game and struck the Space Station. The impact momentarily interrupted power and lights in the Gormball room, and when it returned, Farvin III was the clear winner.

===2008 (Year 10)===
*'''Champion''': [[Dr. Sloth]]
*'''Runner-Up''': [[Zargrold]]
*'''Third Place''': Ursula

In a surprise substitution, Dr. Sloth came back from... whatever he was doing and participated in the championship, leaving Kevin happily on the sidelines. Dr. Sloth played a fierce game, bringing several of the contenders to tears with his perfectly timed releases. Only Zargrold seemed to be enjoying himself; sadly, both Farvin and Ember were distracted by the implications of an evil overlord in their midst and were unable to maintain focus. Meanwhile, Gargarox fell apart during the second half of the game, reportedly due to a bad batch of Grobleen Salad. He promised fans he'd bring his best game to the next tournament, however.

===2009 (Year 11)===
*'''Champion''': Gargarox Isafuhlarg
*'''Runner-Up''': Ursula
*'''Third Place''': Farvin III

Half an hour before the tournament, Dr. Sloth was reported missing, so Kevin stepped in again to fill the big fellow's shoes. Despite avidly watching the professionals throughout the last tournament, Kevin did not appear to have learned anything. Perhaps there was nothing he could do, however, as Gargarox played a perfect game, taking home the gold with humble pleasure.

Ursula was not at all pleased with her performance during the championship, having sacrificed another entire year to a chilly life on Mount Usalin just to take second place.

===2010 (Year 12)===
*'''Champion''': Ursula
*'''Runner-Up''': Thyassa
*'''Third Place''': Brian

Ursula came ready to win and never changed her mind. Early in the game, she seemed jittery, holding the ball almost too long, but it may have been a psychological tactic. If so, it worked, as one player after another regretted overconfidence. Despite the pressure, Thyassa nearly won, but was quite chivalrous about his defeat, telling Ursula that she had earned it.

Ember was unable to play due to petrification, while Brian came in third to a resounding lack of cheers after he made a crack about faerie cheaters.

===2011 (Year 13)===
*'''Champion''': Brian ''*Disqualified*
*'''Runner-Up''': Kevin
*'''Third Place''': Ember

Year 13's tournament began with a standing ovation for Ember on her safe return to the sport. What followed was no celebration, however, but a tough game dominated by Brian. Brian's victory was short-lived, as it was almost instantly discovered afterward that, yet again, he had used a rigged ball. Whether he would be invited back for the next tournament was reportedly under review. Kevin, however, was ecstatic to learn that he'd won his first ever Gormball gold.

===2012 (Year 14)===
*'''Champion''': Thyassa
*'''Runner-Up''': Ursula
*'''Third Place''': Gargarox Isafuhlarg

This year's event was strangely crowded, with tickets selling out months in advance... right after the end of the Altador Cup. Ursula played a hard game, knocking out several opponents in the first few rounds. Then she and Gargarox got into a set of back-and-forth plays as serious as a case of the Scourgies. The stand-off was broken when the ball exploded on Gargarox and then the next ball immediately popped in Ursula's hands. Thyassa went on to triumph.

===2013 (Year 15)===
*'''Champion''': Ember
*'''Runner-Up''': Zargrold
*'''Third Place''': Brian

If last year was crowded, then this year was crazy! Fans of Gormball turned out in record numbers, standing in line for hours to get seats for the big game. The weather was pleasantly cool and foggy right up until the first gormball was tossed... and then a torrential downpour soaked the field. No one was more steamed than Ember (literally), but she fought through her anger and pulled off a major victory. Ursula, on the other hand, was very off her game this year. She admitted she'd spent her training time elsewhere -- something about a game camp? Perhaps the Usul has other hobbies after all.

Annual Gormball Championship

2014-06-29T12:35:03Z

81.206.154.93: Correction of MacBeth's image text

[[Image:Gormball champ.gif|right|frame|[[Thyassa]] has one the Championship four times.]]

The '''Annual [[Gormball]] Championship''' occurs every year on the 23rd of September between the characters in the Gormball game.

Although this is never an affair the Neopian public are involved in, nor are the Neopian public privy to the game itself, the results for the 2000 to 2013 games were uploaded each year to the Annual Gormball Championship [[Neopedia]] article. The event is sometimes mentioned on the New Features page, although there was no mention of it in Year 3 or Year 5, despite the Neopedia article being updated.

After 2005, the Gormball Championships Neopedia page wasn't edited for a long time, even though it was mentioned in the news. However, on September the 23rd in 2011, it was finally edited with all the scores of the previous years who were missing.

==Winners==
===2000 (Year 2)===
*'''Champion''': [[Brian]] ''*Disqualified*
*'''Runner-Up''': [[Thyassa]]
*'''Third Place''': [[Ursula]]

''This year's inaugral ''[sic]'' championship was a scandal-ridden affair, which concluded with Thyassa being declared the winner after Brian was disqualified for using a rigged ball. Despite his many protests to the contrary, the Scorchio's twitching eyebrows were a dead giveaway. Also of interest was a last-minute scratch by Dr. Sloth, who was sidelined by a mysterious prior commitment. Sloth's replacement, a Korbat named [[Kevin]], was obviously outclassed, yet managed to show some promise for the future.''

===2001 (Year 3)===
*'''Champion''': Thyassa
*'''Runner-Up''': [[Farvin III]]
*'''Third Place''': [[Gargarox Isafuhlarg]]

''After last year's controversial decision, Thyassa was under a great deal of pressure to prove that he was worthy of being regarded as a true champion. This year, though, all such questions were put to rest, as the sure-handed Chia put together a dominant performance and won a second straight title. A major surprise, though, was the strong showing by Farvin III, who used his ultra-powerful hearing ability to sense how close the ball was to popping. This extra-sensory advantage allowed the Alien Aisha to overcome his lack of familiarity with the game and make a strong showing, but in the end Thyassa's savvy and experience were simply too much.''

===2002 (Year 4)===
*'''Champion''': Ursula
*'''Runner-Up''': Gargarox Isafuhlarg
*'''Third Place''': [[Ember]]

''Given his strong showing last year, Farvin III was this year's odds-on favourite. However, many suspected foul-play, as a sudden ear infection waylaid the Alien Aisha's attempt to make a bid for the title. Luckily, those responsible for the deed were unable to capitalise on their trickery, as an Usul named Ursula rallied to pull through and get a much-deserved win. Known on the Gormball circuit as a tireless worker whose sense of fair play and dedication to the sport are unmatched, many of her fellow competitors were actually glad to see Ursula come away with the title, especially after she'd come so close two years earlier.''

===2003 (Year 5)===
*'''Champion''': Brian
*'''Runner-Up''': Farvin III
*'''Third Place''': [[Kevin]]

''Ever since his disqualification at the first championship, Brian had hardly been able to make it out of the first round during subsequent tournaments -- all the attention about what sort of dirty tricks he might have up his sleeve had made him too nervous to concentrate. However, after his surprising win this year, observers of the sport fell into two camps: those who believed that he'd finally been able to play fair and win, and those who thought that he'd simply found a way to keep those twitching eyebrows of his under control.''

===2004 (Year 6)===

*'''Runner-Up''': Kevin
*'''Third Place''': Gargarox Isafuhlarg

''Making good on the promise he began showing some years ago, Kevin has finally earned a place among the Gormball world's top players. After a surprising third-place finish last year, this Korbat Gormballer managed to come in second and prove that his success was no fluke.''

''The biggest story this year, though, wasn't Kevin, but rather the triumphant return of Thyassa.

After taking a few years to pursue other interests, Thyassa came back this year with something to prove. Despite some signs of rust during the first few rounds, Thyassa managed a return to his winning ways, overcoming aggressive challenges from Kevin and Gargarox Isafuhlarg. ''

===2005 (Year 7)===
*'''Champion''': Ember
*'''Runner-Up''': Farvin III
*'''Third Place''': Brian

''In an unprecedented event, Ember blew away her competition, finally taking her place as a Gormball champion. Though Brian muttered about the possible use of faerie powers, most agreed he had no right to call anyone else a cheater and should be pleased that he placed third.''

''Farvin III earned Runner-Up for the third time, much to the alien Aisha's dismay. Rumour has it that, after his latest narrow loss, Farvin will be going into training for a solid year. Hopefully, this will give him the edge he needs to finally claim first place, a position that has long been just out of his reach.''

''Though most figured Thyassa would easily win this year, the Chia's game was a bit off due to a bad case of Sneezles. However, he promises to return next year and claim the title of champion for the fourth time. ''

===2006 (Year 8)===
*'''Champion''': Ember
*'''Runner-Up''': Farvin III
*'''Third Place''': Thyassa

Surprising even veteran fans of the sport, Ember took home the gold for the second year in a row, thanks to her relaxed, laidback playing style. Gormball after gormball steamed in her hands, indicating imminent explosions, but the Fire Faerie never lost her cool. The Fire Faerie balanced a zen-like calm with intent concentration, which her competitors scrambled -- and failed -- to match.

Team Mystery Island

2014-06-29T11:18:46Z

81.206.154.93: Undone MacBeth's mistake -> Roster

[[Image:AC IX mystery island.gif|frame|right|Team Mystery Island's line up in 2014 - from left, Lor Benneveldt, Vela Binal, Teylor Nix, Volgoth, and Selmon Woulf.]]

'''Mystery Island's [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team''' is led by [[Teylore Nix]] and the unstoppable brute force of [[Volgoth]]. They entered the 2006 Altador Cup with a punishing offensive arsenal few teams could hope to keep pace with, and were the odds-on favourite to bring home the cup despite the shaky status of their goalkeeper. After defeating [[Faerieland]] in Round One, however, Mystery Island's scoring duo was stopped by [[Krawk Island]] goaltender [[Garven Hale]]. The following year, Mystery Island kept the same roster, yet the team was quick to point out they're more wiser and reliant on brains than sheer speed and brute force, making it seem their defeat humbled them to bring out their very best. However in the middle of the season, their star defender [[Maital Koric]] got injured in a game against [[Meridell]] half way through the season and Mystery Island was forced to replace him the the inexperienced [[Vela Binal]]. However, Binal rose to the occasion and they finished 2007 in 6th place, same as the previous year. In [[Altador Cup III|2008]], Mystery Island had a new goalkeeper and a new spirit, hoping to finally crack the top 4. However, they had a rough year and finished 9th. But in [[Altador Cup IV|2009]] they were back to their old ways, finishing 6th. However, their victory was short lived because [[Altador Cup V|the following year]] they finish 14th, the worst they had ever done. [[Altador Cup VI]] continued to pull inconsistent matchups, finishing the year in 14th yet again, after winning against [[Kiko Lake]] and losing to [[Lost Desert]].

After the inclusion of [[Selmon Woulf]] as a replacement for [[Bertie Shurtz]], in [[Altador Cup VII]], the Mystery Island team had an incredibly successful outburst. It was obvious from the beginning; having not lost a single Yooyuball match until towards the end of the second round, they were highly successful throughout all the rounds. Claiming win after win against powerhouses such as [[Lost Desert]] and [[Maraqua]], and even defeating [[Krawk Island]] and [[Meridell]], two favorites going into the tournament, fans saw them as a team to be feared. By the end of the four rounds, Mystery Island soared to a tie for 2nd place, alongside Meridell. In doing so, they went into the tiebreaker match, in which the team was victorious against Meridell and secured 2nd place.

81.206.154.93:

[[Image:Qyldae Wegg 2006.gif|right]]

'''Qyldae Wegg''' is an [[Orange]] [[Grundo]] and has been the ''Left Forward'' for [[Team Kreludor|Kreludor's Yooyuball team]] since 2006. Qyldae has quick reflexes and excels at passing and jumping. However, his lack of concentration and poor leadership are a detriment to his team.

Despite an otherwise fine career, Qyldae will probably always be best known for the one time that he accidentally flung the Yooyuball into his own team's net, a mental error that caused Kreludor to be eliminated from that year's regionals. The only way Kreludor's fans will ever forgive him is if he can somehow help them to win the cup.

Before Altador Cup VI, Qyldae went on a holiday to [[Qasala]] where he got a sunburn. Back home he was able to recover quickly thanks to a dozen Grape Slurpships. Wegg's recovery was a relief to all the fans, as he is well needed to score.

Volgoth

81.206.154.93:

[[Image:Volgoth 2006.gif|right]]

'''Volgoth''' is an [[Island]] [[Mynci]] and has been the ''Right Forward'' and ''Team Captain'' for [[Team Mystery Island|Mystery Island's Yooyuball team]] since 2006. Despite a lack of grace and technique, Volgoth is one of the most dominant players in the game. Once he's planted himself in front of the net and gotten his hands on the Yooyuball, his powerful shots are nearly impossible for goalies to stop. Opponents usually double or triple team him, in hopes of either keeping the ball away from the massive Mynci or forcing him to pass it off to an unguarded teammate. While Volgoth tackling abilites are excellent, he isn't a very crafty player and his passing skills are weak.

In 2012, [[Team Brightvale]] did a statistic research after Volgoth. They discovered that 84% of the time Volgoth runs right over you. 9% of the time he passes. The other 7% of the time he is distracted by something shiny in the crowd.

==Trivia==
*Volgoth was nominated for both the ''All-Stars - Forwards'' award and the ''Best Scorer'' award in 2006.

|}

'''[[Tyrannia]]'s [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team''' was assembled a few years before 2006 from a group made almost entirely of players whose original teams had given up on them. After a series of trades and waiver wire acquisitions, Tyrannia began to transform its motley bunch of cast-offs into a selfless squad of warriors. Driven by a desire to show everyone how wrong they were to write them off, Tyrannia's "Forsaken Five" have gone on to become one of the most successful Yooyuball teams.

After their defeat in the first round playoff by [[Roo Island]] in 2006, many expected Tyrannia to retool their lineup in 2007. Rather than act on this, Tyrannia's managers believed they were simply unlucky, due to the fact it was hard to imagine anyone defeating Roo Island. They kept the tight knit "Forsaken Five" together, believing it would be a horrible mistake to break up one of the best Yooyuball teams in Neopia over a single playoff loss. However, their minds changed after the 2009 season, trading Evrem Guilako for Terror Mountain's Elbin Kroe. However it appears they got the bad end of this deal as they finished 10th, while [[Terror Mountain]] finished 9th.

[[Elbin Kroe]] moved to [[Faerieland]] before [[Altador Cup VI]] started. Tyrannia hired [["Spikes" Barmie]] to be their new Right Defender. This helped Tyrannia and the team turned into a fierce competitor. They defeated [[Darigan Citadel]] before they were stopped by [[Meridell]] and ended up in 6th place.

[[Altador Cup VII]] was a new format, and whether it would help Tyrannia or not was debatable. They had a mixed bag of success and failure over the first few matches, alternating from pulling off sweeps to being the ones being swept. They began to hit their stride in the second and third rounds of the tournament, before the fourth round forsaw their collapse. However, despite their lower 10th place finish, they proved they were still strong, and the spirit of the "Forsaken Five" lives on.

In the preparation for [[Altador Cup VIII]] they exchanged Goalkeepers with [[Team Moltara]], therefore gaining the strength of Mor Gollog. The team spirit that year was never better and the mechanism functionated like an oiled machine. Already soon in the competition they proved themself even worthy for the title. As the time went on their only rival for the Cup was Altador, in the decisive match between them, Mor Gollog proved himself of great value and reassured the Cup for Team Tyrannia. An impressive achievement that no one saw coming. But Loryche was always sure of to be possible.

'''Maraqua's [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team''' could be described as "a house divided," due to the antics of their star forward. [[Elon Hughlis]] is more concerned with his personal accomplishments than actual wins and losses, making him a headache to the team. He looks down on his teammates who aren't as talented as him, and they endure him due to his tremendous ability.

After getting beaten in the first round of [[Altador Cup 2006]], fans thought Maraqua would cut its losses and get rid of Elon Hughlis. When it became apparent that Hughlis wasn't leaving, they decide to trade other foward, [[Jair Tollet]] for [[Roo Island]]'s [[Dayla]] (injured in preseason). Considering Hughlis insisted on scoring most of the team's goals, Maraqua decided having three defenders in the lineup worked best for them, adding hefty defence man [[Oten Runeu]] to their starting unit. As a result, Maraqua looked to have one of the toughest squads in Neopia to score against, later proved to be false after placing ninth and tenth in the following two cups.

However, in 09, even though Maraqua was defeated in the first match by [[Kiko Lake]], the team was able to win the second bracket, putting them in 5th place, a drastic improvement from their following years of 10th, 9th, and 10th.

In [[Altador Cup V]], the team was hyped about a lot. However, due to a tough series of matches where they had to face the top three teams; [[Lost Desert]], [[Kreludor]], and [[Darigan Citadel]] in a row, and not faring well against any of them, they dropped from a strong fifth at the end of round one, to a struggling eighth at the end of round two. However, In the Finals they shined once again, beating [[Meridell]] who were consistently placed in the top four before being slightly edged out near the end by [[Roo Island]], the defeating [[Virtupets Space Station]] to claim the same spot they claimed the year before, 5th.

In 2011's [[Altador Cup VI]] they added [[Lost Desert]]'s defender Lamelle Turow because Dorina Hals retired. With a teammate from the winning team of Altador Cup V, people thought that Maraqua would have a very good shot at winning. Though they weren't quite able to play up to par with the other top tier teams, they managed to claim 4th after losing to [[Virtupets]] and [[Kreludor]], the best they've ever done.

Under new gameplay rules introduced in [[Altador Cup VII]], Maraqua had no signs of suffering in the first round, where they had generally respectable showings despite facing tremendous threats in the bracket, such as [[Krawk Island]], [[Darigan Citadel]], and (we had thought at the time) [[Virtupets Space Station]]. However, after [[Kiko Lake]]'s sweeping of Maraqua, things seemed to fall downhill. Still, Maraqua's greatness varied; for example, they were defeated by [[Tyrannia]] one time, then swept them the next time they met. With all things considered, Maraqua fell from last year's greatness to 8th.

Team Kreludor

'''Kreludor's [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team''' is not the most physically gifted team, but is considered the most disciplined and fundamentally sound group in game. Able to befuddle defenders with torrents of crisp passes and a labrynth of picks and blocks, Kreludor has been known to take their more talented opponents and tie them in knots.

In the 2007 [[Altador Cup]], Kreludor did not participate. They were replaced by Shenkuu, but returned in 2008 replacing Kiko Lake. Although storming the competition in 09', going into the bracket as the top seed, they had to settle for fourth after defeats from [[Shenkuu]] and the [[Lost Desert]].

During the [[Altador Cup V]] Kreludor was a top contender and though they entered the finals in 1st, they left in 2nd.

In 2011's [[Altador Cup VI]], Kreludor made the finals once again but got knocked out by [[Krawk Island]]. Despite so, they were able to pull a win against [[Maraqua]] in order to secure 3rd and get the bronze. Hungry for a win in [[Altador Cup VII]], the team was truly dedicated in their matches. Under the new system of play, the team was able to secure first place in every single round, which effectively placed them in first place and winners of Altador Cup VII.

In response to dropping to the 7th place after their victory of the Cup in [[Altador Cup VII]] the Kreludian team decided to strengthen their attack by trading defender [[Coco Metrone]] for Krawk Islands attacker [[Ealyn Hawkshanks]]. Therefore their formation changed from 2+2 to 3+1.

==Fun Fact==
Team captain Derlyn Fonnet tells us she's become penpals with Haunted Woods player "Brains" Mortigan. "He's pretty witty," she admits, "and he's got great tips for Yooyuball. We're still very competitive, of course." Meanwhile, teammates Zenor and Qyldae spent a little too much time relaxing in the sun last month in Qasala and came back with terrible sunburns, but we hear they're recovering thanks to a few dozen Grape Slurpships.

Team Haunted Woods

2014-06-28T19:23:00Z

81.206.154.93: Team picture updated

The '''Haunted Woods [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team''' subscribes to the old saying "defense wins championships," and has built its team to shut down forwards and force mistakes which create easy scoring opportunities for them, requires plenty of discipline and determination from the other team to defeat them. The Haunted Woods won the Altador Cup of 2006.

With the retirement of veteran defender [[Chelo Binay]] in 2007, it was questioned whether the defensive unit of the team would be as good as last years. If the playing of newcomer [[Autrey Fulse]] was any indication, Haunted Woods fans with hopes of back-to-back titles wouldn't need to worry. However, the favourites going into last year's tournament were [[Altador]], [[Faerieland]], and [[Mystery Island]], so it's uncertain how the year would go. A disappointment to Haunted Woods fans was a drop from a championship to 7th, then continuing a gradual slide from grace with a 8th in [[Altador Cup III|'08]] and 10th in [[Altador Cup IV|'09]]. But in [[Altador Cup V|2010]], in hope of stopping their loosing skid, they added a new Centre Defender [["Brains" Mortigan]]. However, they in fact did worse than the previous year, finishing 12th.

The team crawled back up from the wreckage in [[Altador Cup VI]], and though they weren't quite able to reach second tier, the team stayed strong to push up one spot to 11th. The team was defeated by [[Shenkuu]] but won against [[Brightvale]].

[[Altador Cup VII]] was a rough year for the Haunted Woods, with their Yooyuball record being quite weak. In fact, in their 24 matches, only once did they win Yooyuball. However, their side-game ability was much better, which enabled them to push up the rankings yet again to 9th place.

2013 was the lucky year for Team Haunted Woods. [[Altador Cup VIII]] was probably the best Cup for Haunted Woods in 5 years. They swept many teams and as the tournament went on they kept getting even better. However, they're performances were only average, and so they finished 9th in a tie with [[Team Maraqua]].
In the next year an old veteran who helped to achieve the Cup in the first year, [[Wan Dirx]] decided to retire from Yooyuball. He made this decision for the better of the Team, and to clear his place for new young energy. Fans noted that he will always be remembered as a legendary defender. His replacement is [[Crade Talvos]], a [[Wraith]] [[Draik]].

Team Shenkuu

Joining the [[Altador Cup]] in 2007, '''[[Shenkuu]]'s Yooyuball team''' is regarded by [[Altador Cup]] enthusiasts as an exciting young team with plenty of promise, but they were expected not to make much noise in the tournament, having too many holes in their team. The inexperience of goalie [[Xana DiLanche]], the unpredictable health of defender [[Turo Rafels]], and the team's overall lack of tournament play are all serious concerns. However, the stunning talent of young forwards [[Mirsha Grelinek]] and [[Foltaggio]] may cause a few upsets.

The team surpassed expectations in the [[Altador Cup II|2007 Cup]], defeating [[Krawk Island]] in the third place game. The following year in [[Altador Cup III]], they dropped one spot to fourth place. In [[Altador Cup IV]], Shenkuu shockingly defeated top seed [[Kreludor]] to reach the finals, but lost to [[Krawk Island]] was left in second. Although they were favourites going into [[Altador Cup V]] thanks to their strong prior performances, Shenkuu's 2010 bid ended in a very disappointing 11th place finish.

[[Altador Cup VI]] continued Shenkuu's inconsistency. Finishing yet again in third tier at the end, the team finished 10th after defeating [[Haunted Woods]], but losing to [[Roo Island]].

After two years of subpar performance, the worry that Shenkuu would never return to the powerhouse team it once was persisted as [[Altador Cup VII]]'s new system threatened the stability of certain powerhouses. The year was fraught with peril, as [[Mystery Island]] suddenly emerged as a powerhouse. Losing a good deal of their matches, things did not bode well for the ninjas, which resulted in a dismal 16th place finish.

In 2012, Team Shenkuu made a lot of changes in their roster. Club icon Foltaggio was replaced for the Altadorian defender [[Timu]]. Therefore the formation became a 1+3 with Mirsha Grelinek as only Forward.

Eventhough Team Shenkuu made a jump in [[Altador Cup VIII]] to the 12th place. Still it did not change the fact that Shenkuu diddn't score higher than the 10th place over the last 4 years. The nightmare for Team Shenkuu keeps on lasting, and is generally not being seen as a powerhouse anymore. The reason for their bad results is probably because of their great desire for the 1st place since [[Altador Cup IV]], but not having the capacity.

Team Mystery Island

'''Mystery Island's [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team''' is led by [[Teylore Nix]] and the unstoppable brute force of [[Volgoth]]. They entered the 2006 Altador Cup with a punishing offensive arsenal few teams could hope to keep pace with, and were the odds-on favourite to bring home the cup despite the shaky status of their goalkeeper. After defeating [[Faerieland]] in Round One, however, Mystery Island's scoring duo was stopped by [[Krawk Island]] goaltender [[Garven Hale]]. The following year, Mystery Island kept the same roster, yet the team was quick to point out they're more wiser and reliant on brains than sheer speed and brute force, making it seem their defeat humbled them to bring out their very best. However in the middle of the season, their star defender [[Maital Koric]] got injured in a game against [[Meridell]] half way through the season and Mystery Island was forced to replace him the the inexperienced [[Vela Binal]]. However, Binal rose to the occasion and they finished 2007 in 6th place, same as the previous year. In [[Altador Cup III|2008]], Mystery Island had a new goalkeeper and a new spirit, hoping to finally crack the top 4. However, they had a rough year and finished 9th. But in [[Altador Cup IV|2009]] they were back to their old ways, finishing 6th. However, their victory was short lived because [[Altador Cup V|the following year]] they finish 14th, the worst they had ever done. [[Altador Cup VI]] continued to pull inconsistent matchups, finishing the year in 14th yet again, after winning against [[Kiko Lake]] and losing to [[Lost Desert]].

After the inclusion of [[Selmon Woulf]] as a replacement for [[Bertie Shurtz]], in [[Altador Cup VII]], the Mystery Island team had an incredibly successful outburst. It was obvious from the beginning; having not lost a single Yooyuball match until towards the end of the second round, they were highly successful throughout all the rounds. Claiming win after win against powerhouses such as [[Lost Desert]] and [[Maraqua]], and even defeating [[Krawk Island]] and [[Meridell]], two favorites going into the tournament, fans saw them as a team to be feared. By the end of the four rounds, Mystery Island soared to a tie for 2nd place, alongside Meridell. In doing so, they went into the tiebreaker match, in which the team was victorious against Meridell and secured 2nd place.

[[Mystery Island]] is great, it's hot most of the year, and there is always a beautiful tropical breeze. Why not head down to the beach and play a spot of Volleyball? Mynci Beach Volleyball to be precise!

==Game==
The meaning of the game is to play the basic principles of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beach_volleyball Beach volleyball]. You have to score on by dropping the ball on the opponents ground. Every match starts with a Mynci serving the ball. You are also able to jump to give the ball more effect.

In order to win, you have to achieve 12 points (each point is achieved by a ball on the other side) and with a difference of at least 2 points. You will continue untill someone has 2 points more then the other.

==How to Play==
If you play single player mode, it means that you're playing against the Red Mynci controled by the computer. And thus play with the Blue Mynci yourself.
To play, simply use the '''arrow keys''' to go left, right and jump. Hit the ball over the net, and try and make it land in the opponent's court.

When playing multiplayer, the Red (right) Mynci can be played with the '''arrow keys''' and the Blue (left) Mynci can be played with the '''D, X, V keys'''.

==Powerups==
You can acces several powerups if you throw the ball on a floating [[Pawkeet]] in the air. These powerups can also be accessed by the opposite computer-controled Mynci.
The powerups are:
*Supersize: Makes the Mynci very big and makes it thus easier to hit the ball.
*Superspeed: Makes the Mynci very fast.
*Superjump: Makes the Mynci jump very high.
*Giant Ball: Makes the ball much bigger and thus easier to hit.
*Small Net: Makes the net alot smaller and makes is easier to throw the ball over.
*Big Net: Makes the net alot bigger and makes it harder to throw the ball over.
*Watch out for the Turdle: Puts a [[Turdle]]on the opposites side ground. If you step on it, you will not be able to move untill the other Mynci has scored.

Powerups can be combined in a certain way. If the opposite Mynci hits the pawkeet and receives the "Supersize" powerup, you can later hit the pawkeet and receive the "Superspeed" powerup for instance. However, if you hit the pawkeet twice in a row, only the last achieved powerup will last.

Altador Cup VIII

2014-06-26T16:21:48Z

81.206.154.93: Prizes added

[[Image:Altadorcup pre 2012.jpg|frame|right|The Altador Cup returns for the eighth year running.]]

The eighth Altador Cup of the summer of 2013 started with the Team sign-ups on the 24th of May. The real competition started on the 31st of May which lasted exactly a month. The Winners and Prizes were announced on the 1st of July.

===New rule(s) in 2013===
Tournament play is made up of five rounds. For each round, six teams will be placed into one of three brackets. During the round, every team in the bracket will play each other once.

This year, there will be four "bye" days. The bye days will happen once per round during the first four rounds, and will not fall on either the first or last day of a round.

At the conclusion of every round, each team in a bracket will be rewarded points based on how they played in comparison to the other teams in their bracket. With each subsequent round, the point values increase, allowing teams that may have gotten off to a rocky start to catch up toward the end. After all five rounds have been played, the teams. points will be tallied up and (if necessary) any ties will be broken. The following Monday, the results will be revealed and the champions will be named!

==Story==
===Round One===
*'''Alabriss Bracket'''
The Alabriss Bracket was filled with some interesting teams, last years top6. With powerhouses like [[Darigan Citadel]], [[Lost Desert]] and [[Kreludor]]. Teams that missed the title last year by an inch like [[Meridell]] and [[Mystery Island]] and a team that hasn't achieved very much yet: [[Kiko Lake]]. Team Kreludor suprised in their first matches, everyone expected that Derlyn Fonnets team would suffer under the Winners Curse after becoming Champion last year, but they were able to earn a hard-foughted victory against Meridell and later against Lost Desert. Lost Desert was the team that dissapointed this round, not being able to jump along on the level of the other two powerhouses. Mystery Island was constanantly swept by the rest, while Kiko Lake suprisingly did good efforts in winning. But in the end it was Layton Vickles' Darigan Citadel that really convinced and took the 1st place in the Alabriss Bracket.

*'''Minitheus Bracket'''
The Minitheus Bracket was compilled of the Teams from last years 7th till 12th place. These were [[Krawk Island]], the old powerhouse. Middle-class teams like [[Tyrannia]], [[Maraqua]] and [[Haunted Woods]]. And lesser teams like [[Brightvale]] and [[Terror Mountain]]. The Minitheus bracket was hard to figure out who would win. Completely unexpected, Tyrannia stood up as a major powerhouse, sweeping every single team in their bracket. Leaving the first place occupied since the first match. Not so very unexpected was the second place of Krawk Island and the third of Maraqua. In a short battle, Brightvale was able to capture the 4th place at the expense of Haunted Woods, who started off badly. Finally Terror Mountain dropped to be the last of the bracket.

*'''Vaeolus Bracket'''
The final bracket exists from teams who ended at the bottom of last years Altador Cup. These teams were [[Altador]], [[Faerieland]], [[Moltara]], [[Shenkuu]], the winner of two years ago: [[Virtupets]] and the winner of Altador Cup III: [[Roo Island]]. The expectations were sky high for Roo Island that they would recover this year from their worst ranking ever. The same counted for Shenkuu, a team that once dominated the tournament but nowadays plays very poorely. As for Altador, Moltara and Faerieland, there were no expectations. They did not perform any different last year than the years before. Virtupets always surprises. As soon as the matches started everyone was stumbled by Altadors performances, they swept every team easily and with great numbers, even Roo Island! Beyond from that everything else went completely normal. Thus Altador won the bracket, leaving Roo Island 2nd, Shenkuu became 3rd, Virtupets 4th, and Faerieland and Moltara ended the lines, respectively 5th and 6th.

===Round Two===
*'''Alabriss Bracket'''
The Alabriss Bracket of round two was a fierce one. Having Tyrannia, Krawk Island, Darigan Citadel and Kreludor. But also bottom line teams Shenkuu and Virtupets. The most intersting the follow was wether Tyrannia would be able to sweep Darigan Citadel and Kreludor as well. And what sort of resistance they could offer against the newly risen Tyrannian force. The answer was nothing. Loryche's team was unbeatable again, winning with big numbers again. Suprisingly, Krawk Island also bested Darigan Citadel and Kreludor. Leaving those two on respectively place 3 and 4 in the Alabriss Bracket. Virtupets and Shenkuu didn't have much to offer else then a fight to decide who wouldn't became last. That fight was lost by Virtupets.

*'''Minitheus Bracket'''
The teams of the Minitheus Bracket are Altador, Roo Island, Maraqua, Terror Mountain, Mystery Island and Lost Desert. For Altador there was no new big opponent in which they could test their strength. Nonetheless they still kept on sweeping teams and making themself a big favorite for the Cup and dared challenger of Tyrannia. Roo Island achieved the 2nd place in the bracket, failing it to the mighty Altadorian Team. Maraqua became 3rd. Terror Mountain made a jump, after becoming 6th in Round One, they made it to the 4th place this Round, besting Lost Desert and Mystery Island. Two teams who perform very much under their average.

*'''Vaeolus Bracket'''
The Vaeolus bracket was excellent opportunity for Team Meridell to catch some points, at the absence of traditional powerhouses. Because their opponents weren't very scary, besides from Haunted Woods ofcourse. Teams like Brightvale, Kiko Lake, Faerieland and Moltara. Meridell earned victory every time, however, they underestimated Haunted Woods gravely, due to this, Krell Vitor's team was able to ensure some nice victories and finishing just behind Meridell after having a rough start. Brightvale made it to the 3rd place and the Kiko's 4th again. Moltara was working very hard again to increase their reputation as the worst team ever whil Faerieland ends 5th.

===Round Three===
*'''Alabriss Bracket'''
The Alabriss Bracket is a mild one. Lacking brute strength or favorites for the title. But one of the teams in this bracket is [[Meridell]], yet again facing a relatively easy bracket and thus an easy way to score some points for the ranking. Other teams are [[Maraqua]], [[Virtupets]], [[Shenkuu]], [[Terror Mountain]] and [[Kiko Lake]]. The only real opponent for [["Wizard" Windelle]] and his squad is Maraqua. Furthermore Team Terror Mountain seems to clime in the brackets as tournament moves on, while on the other hand Kiko Lake's performances only get worse. Shenkuu and Virtupets remain consistant, but with poor results. The final results of the Alabriss Bracket can be seen below.

*'''Minitheus Bracket'''
The Minitheus Bracket promised some nice matches. [[Altador]] facing with great rivals that take the shape of [[Darigan Citadel]] and [[Kreludor]]. The brackets do not favor [[Roo Island]], [[Lilo Blumario]]'s team has a hard time making it to the top because the share a bracket for the third time in a row with Altador. When the matches really started, it was shown again that Altador was unbeatable, even for the Citadel and Kreludor. This time actually Kreludor bested Darigan Citadel, leaving them 4th while they had to settle with the 3rd place because of Roo Islands unexpected amount of strenght. Haunted Woods and Brightvale were as expected unable to lift on the level of the top and finished 5th and 6th.

*'''Vaeolus Bracket'''
And last but not least the Vaeolus Bracket. Where [[Tyrannia]] resembles Altador, [[Krawk Island]] is their Roo Island. The pirates joined Tyrannia's bracket for the third time in a row. This doesn't increase their chances of winning the bracket but becoming 2nd seems very likely. [[Lost Desert]] is the other participant, Lost Desert has had a hard time living up to their average scores. [[Mystery Island]], on the way to their worst ranking ever. And finally team [[Faerieland]] and [[Moltara]], the actual worst teams ever.
After some tough matches Tyrannia proved to be a master of their bracket, the only one to be able to stop them seems Altador, but they be sweeping everyone else. The Krawks end up 2nd just before Lost Desert who seems to recover a bit. Mystery Island makes sure that they won't be the worst team of this year becoming 4th and Faerieland finishes once again 5th before Moltara.

===Round Four===
*'''Alabriss Bracket'''
Round Four kicks of with the Alabriss Bracket with this years outsiders, but no real contestants for the Cup. Namely [[Maraqua]], [[Kreludor]] and [[Darigan Citadel]]. But also some bottomfloaters like [[Faerieland]] and [[Moltara]]. And finally the middle-classed [[Terror Mountain]]. The matches started and Terror Mountain sweeped Faerieland, just like Darigan Citadel who swept Moltara. Kreludor surprisingly almost swept Maraqua. The next day Terror Mountain proved to be the diesel of the tournament, completely taking out Darigan Citadel. While Kreludor swept Moltara and Maraqua covered a sweep against Faerieland.In an exciting showdown between Kreludor and Darigan Citadel, Kreludor was able to convincingly sweep the Citadel. In the mean time Terror Mountain strengthend their claim on the first place in the match with Maraqua, whilst Faerieland beated Moltara. The next day Terror Mountain continued it's late and futile strike for the top winning in Yooyuball and Slushie slinger against Kreludor, while the Citadel and Maraqua sweeped their opponents. As soon as the sky was cleared Terror Mountain was shown to be the clear winner while Kreludor had to settle with the second place, Darigan Citadel with the 3rd. Maraqua, Faerieland and Moltara respectively 4, 5 and 6th.

*'''Minitheus Bracket'''
The Minitheus Bracket is a mix of this years lower-tier teams. Teams like [[Mystery Island]], [[Brightvale]], [[Virtupets]], the unlucky [[Lost Desert]], [[Shenkuu]] and the spooky but tenacious [[Haunted Woods]]. In the upcoming matches Haunted Woods proved fruitful but there weren't very much sweeps at all. Therefor the outcome of this bracket was more exciting then any other, the results were very close but in the end Haunted Woods was just a little better than everyone else taking victory in this bracket. Closely followed by Brightvale, who was also sweepless. Lost Desert dissapointed once again, proving to have a really tough year, they lost to Shenkuu and thus had to be happy with the 4th place while Shenkuu took the 3rd. Virtupets claimed Yooyuball and Make Some Noise from Mystery Island and making it 5th by an inch, so Mystery Island once again last of the bracket, an unfortunate fall after last years 2nd place.

*'''Vaeolus Bracket'''
The absolute top bracket of Round Four is the Vaeolus Bracket. The two title favorites [[Altador]] and [[Tyrannia]] finally shared a bracket, probably now there will be decided who will bring home the Cup. Beyond from the fight for the title there is also a fight for the third place in the Vaeolus Bracket. [[Krawk Island]] and [[Roo Island]] are both contestants for the bronze medal. Furthermore are the brackets not really kind to [[Meridell]] this round, they're facing some top teams in this bracket and can probably forget about becoming third this year. The last team is [[Kiko Lake]], which will likely become last.
On the first day of the matches Tyrannia sweeped Meridell, while Altador almost swept Kiko Lake, only Slushie Slinger was won by Kiko Lake. The match-up for the third place started right away with Krawk Island versus Roo Island, in which Roo Island showed who's boss and took a broad victory. In the next day Tyrannia was beaten down by Roo Island in Slushie Slinger and Shootout Showdown! They will not be the first team to end with a perfect record after all. Altador sweeped Meridell and Krawk Island and Kiko Lake played surprising match in which the Krawks were only able to win Shootout Showdown. After that Roo Island was sadly sweeped again by Altador while Tyrannia swept Krawk Island. The day after that was the dicisive match for the Cup between Tyrannia and Altador. In the end Tyrannia swept Altador and so it's highly unlikely that they are not going to win this years Altador Cup. Meanwhile Roo Island nearly swept Kiko Lake just like Krawk Island nearly swept Meridell. On the last day, Krawk Island was swept by Altador, Tyrannia swept Kiko Lake and Roo Island swept Meridell. And so Tyrannia won the Vaeolus bracket, Altador became 2nd, Roo Island 3rd, Krawk Island had to settle with the 4th place, Meridell 5th and Kiko Lake last.

===Round Five===
*'''Alabriss Bracket'''
Eventhough the first and second place are already divided, there still an opportunity for both [[Kreludor]] and [[Krawk Island]] in the Alabriss Bracket to conquer the 3rd place this year, however that would require a victory of [[Roo Island]], and they have already shown to be stronger than their opponents. For [[Maraqua]] there is not much to win in the Alabriss Bracket other then to strengthen their position. [[Virtupets]] doesn't get to say a lot about where they will end up, in this bracket they most likely will end last and then all they can do is hope Moltara and Faerieland will do the same so Virtupets won't become last this tournament. The last team of this bracket is [[Mystery Island]], performing far below their old level. The most important matches were between Maraqua and Roo Island in which Roo Island was able to completely sweep Maraqua. Between Kreludor and Krawk Island, in that match Krawk Island nearly swept Kreludor, only Make Some Noise was won by Kreludor. On the second day of the Fith round the podium was decided. Roo Island was able to sweep Krawk Island and thus secured their 3rd place this Altador Cup. An outher worldly match was between Virtupets and Kreludor, in which Kreludor definately lost a chance to the 3rd place thanks to an impressive win from Virtupets in Yooyuball and Make Some Noise. The other matches didn't change a lot to the ranks. And so Roo Island wins the Alabriss Bracket, while Krawk Island becomes second, Kreludor 3rd by an inch closely followed by Maraqua. Mystery Island then 5th and finally Virtupets as expected 6th.

*'''Minitheus Bracket'''
The final Minitheus Bracket is for [[Tyrannia]] only a formality. Even if they would become last and [[Darigan Citadel]] first, then they can still count on a silver medal. But that won't be sufficient for the nearly unbeatable team. They've proven to be able to sweep all of these teams in the Minitheus Bracket, teams like the Citadel, [[Shenkuu]], [[Haunted Woods]], [[Moltara]] and [[Meridell]]. For Darigan Citadel there is a lot to win though, a top 5 position for instance. The most important matches were those between Darigan Citadel and Tyrannia, in which Tyrannia smashed Darigan Citadel to the ground, A sweep of Meridell over Darigan Citadel. And Tyrannia's impressive sweep over Meridell. In the end Tyrannia became first as anticipated, Darigan Citadel was able to become 2nd at the expense of Meridell, Meridell who started the tournament fantastic went only downwards in the rankings. Haunted Woods managed to reach the 4th place in this bracket, Shenkuu 5th again and Moltara becomes last, just like in every other bracket this year.

*'''Vaeolus Bracket'''
The Vaeolus Bracket was een easy dessert for [[Altador]], against teams that don't even come close to their level this year. The other teams of the Vaeolus bracket are [[Terror Mountain]], the team who moved upwards in the brackets from place 6 to 4th to 3rd to 1st in round four. [[Brightvale]], [[Lost Desert]], [[Kiko Lake]] and [[Faerieland]]. In the matches Altador clearly sought for vengeance after their lost match against Tyrania. Altador swept Kiko Lake, Brightvale, Faerieland and Lost Desert. Only Terror Mountain, this years outsider, managed to show some strong resistance. Terror Mountain won in Slushie Slinger and Shootout Showdown, while Altador won in Yooyuball and Make Some Noise. But eventhough Altador won a tight victory over Terror Mountain, their first place in the Vaeolus Bracket was easily covered. Terror Mountain made it 2nd. Brightvale, this years typical middle-class team became 3rd in this bracket, Lost Desert 4th. Kiko Lake, who started nicely this tournament ends 5th in the final bracket and Faerieland as expected becomes last.

Team Brightvale

81.206.154.93: Roster change that was never changed is now finally changed

'''Brightvale's Yooyuball team''' was known for being the most crooked line up of cheating and rough players, despite being from the land of wisdom and learning. They know the rules of the game very well, and use it to their advantage by giving sharp jabs to the ribs when no one's looking and other such tricks to win. Their reputation of rough playing was once even greater than that of [[Darigan Citadel]] and the [[Haunted Woods]].

After being defeated by the Haunted Woods in Round Two of the 2006 games and finishing 8th, Brightvale claimed to have learned the error of their ways for many different reasons (not wanting to shame King Hagan, their tactics were no match for the tournament's better teams, increased popularity means more merchandise sales, etc.). Taking a cue from team captain [["Squeaky" Tressif]], they turned over a new leaf and decided to play fair. While their playing style during the regular season indicated they have cleaned up their act, they finished 12th in the 2007 season, four spots worse then the year before. There was talk of Brightvale playing dirty again in the 2008 cup, but they took the high road and signed rookie sensation goalkeeper [[Erli Quinnock]], who overall was a disappointment and the team finished dead last in the cup.

In 2009, Brightvale did not participate in the cup because [[King Hagan]] said, "It has been my personal observation that in the weeks leading up to the arrival of this grand sporting spectacle, there's been far too much banner-making and memorising of chants going on. As a result, the very foundation upon which this kingdom's reputation is based, its scholarship, has fallen prey to a serious case of neglect. Therefore, until my subjects have shown an ability to strike a harmonious balance between work and play, we shall forthwith be suspending our participation in the Altador Cup." When asked to respond to claims that the real reason behind Brightvale's departure from the Altador Cup was a string of embarrassing losses to rival kingdom [[Meridell]] (which is ruled by Hagan's brother [[King Skarl]]), His Majesty gruffly declined to comment, stating that "such accusations are not worth dignifying with a reply."

In 2010, after their one year hiatus, Brightvale decided to bring their original goalkeeper [[Orie Dinelle]] back, while sending Erli Quinnock to [[Kiko Lake]]. Expectations weren't too high for team Brightvale, however they shocked [[Neopia]] by winning 6 out of their first 10 games, 3 of which were sweeps. However their great success did not last too long, as they lost 5 straight games and then 9 of the next 11. Although they lost four straight going into the finals, they beat [[Faerieland]] and [[Mystery Island]] respectively to enter and exit the finals in 13th place.

In [[Altador Cup VI]], results continued their trend of improvement since 2008. This time, they were able to break third tier for the first time since 2007, finishing in 12th after being defeated by [[Roo Island]] and [[Haunted Woods]].

2012 saw a great change to Brightvale's lineup, in which team captain "Squeaky" Tressif moved on to Roo Island's team, while Roo Island sent [[Gordo Gunnels]] to be Brightvale's new left defender. In doing so, [[Montecito]] became the new team captain. Brightvale fell to a different pattern than usual; while they usual start strong then fade, they saw their peak in the second and third rounds. Able to hold their own against stronger teams, they continued improving with an 11th place finish, in a tie with [[Terror Mountain]].

In 2013 things didn't improve for Brightvale, the first days of the tournament started hopeful but eventually things went back to the level we're used of with Brightvale. Ending up 11th again.
