Making it a total amount of wins per team would be stupid, as altador would sweep. i'm gonna guess, it'll be random, or based on somr sort of average team score

From the last split:

Curses! I'll need to try harder! My 1:12 won't be enough at the moment.

I'm having really bad luck at the moment with balls though, so this is making my job a lot harder. I still managed to sneak a 9-1 victory though (that darn Mutant curving when I wasn't expecting it)

And, slightly off topic, I'm midway through writing a series for the Neopian Times on Yooyuball, and I'd like some ideas for more original goals. So, if you score a particularly interesting one, or one that would be particularly good in a story, then please PM me with ideas. It would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: In my last game, had a lot of luck with seven Fire and two Snow, and sneaked a 1:17. Very pleased with that, and can't see myself knocking much more off it.

Just wondering if the whole glitch-switch-team has been solved. And if so anyone found a way to fix it? Or is there no fix, and just have to live with the glitch.

I dunno it will be interesting if any team could get more wins while the other team get more goal. I don't really like the idea of an average score since some people will play one game while others will play 350 or so games.

How would that matter in figuring the average? Take the score from each game, add them all up, and divide by the number of games. It doesn't matter if one person has less scores registered than someone else.

Dunno, but it sure will be interesting so see who is going to win this thing. Maybe they'll take the team with the least support.

Its all gonna end up being "random" in some way or another

Don't forget that there are losses and ties to account for. Your smarter users, like those here at PPT, will probably not register any score that isn't a win, but some will be either honest or naive enough to register them. So maybe it'll be, say, +7 for wins, +2 for ties and -5 for losses. Or some similar system. Then add up all for one side and compare to the opponent. The opponent gets knocked out and the other moves on until we get two teams playing for 1st and two teams playing for 2nd.

Silly question, but does it take time before sent scores are posted? I just submitted two wins, and when I checked 'My Scores', it said I hadn't won or lost any matches.

did you quit the window, then reopen it? sometimes you have to in order for the score to be sent

Has any one else noted a lack of faerie balls coming up. In my last 10 games where i have scored 4 or 5 goals each, and I havn't had a single one. Not that i'm complaining but I was just wondering if it was just me or if TNT has changed things since training.

You have to notice how the score in the games are not recorded, just the fact that you won or lost or tied. An 1-0 is a win and so is a 12-0. TNT are not going to give more points for a larger win than a smaller win. Like in any game, whether be it basketball or soccer, a win is a win. It shouldn't matter whether you won by 12 points or 1 point.

Thus, Underdogpuff makes a valid point that if TNT averages the scores of a player who won 2 games and a devoted player who won 400 games, the average would be decidedly lower. I don't think TNT would average.

Luck of the draw, my dear friend. I have noticed, however, that playing Terror Mountain I end up with a LOT of snow yooyus. Perhaps different opponents cause a slight increase in the odds of getting certain yooyus, while decreasing the odds of others. For the most part, however, it's mostly random.
