*:Some have said that if Altador invented the game of Yooyuball, surely [[Altador]] ought to be good at playing. Yet the team has never made it higher than thirteenth place. How to explain this odd phenomenon? "Never mind explaining it," team captain [["Trapper" Remis]] says grimly. "We've made a few... changes this year. Altador is ready to show our true colours. The new tournament format will help; it's more like the ancient rules we're used to." | *:Some have said that if Altador invented the game of Yooyuball, surely [[Altador]] ought to be good at playing.

*:After a biting remark from [[Tandrak Shaye]], the Faerieland team decided to celebrate their [[The Faeries' Ruin|status as an earthbound land]] — with a road trip! As of this report, they have been travelling for six months, seen seven lands, and eaten an astonishing quantity of Chocolate Cloud Cookies. "I never knew the [[Lost Desert]] had so many pyramids," [[Valtonous Rea]] tells us.

*:The Haunted Woods team is totally committed and ready to win back their title as champions of the Altador Cup, [[Zo Junior]] promises. He vehemently denies rumours that [[Wan Dirx]] is thinking of leaving Yooyuball to open a soda fountain. "Just because he likes Spooky Shakes a lot and [[Fanetti]] is allergic to them doesn't mean the team is fracturing. We can work out our differences. It will just mean a more aggressive playing style on the field." | *:The Haunted Woods team is totally committed and ready to win back their title as champions of the Altador Cup, [[Zo Junior]] promises.

*:How's Kiko Lake these days? Sunny and warm, [["Poke" Cellers]] assures us with an enthusiastic bounce. The Kiko Lake team has taken advantage of the weather with a rummage sale this weekend. They're hoping to raise enough [[Neopoints]] for new equipment and transportation to the Cup. "We'll be lucky if the weather holds," the team captain adds, glancing at the puffy white clouds overhead. "We'd like to get in some field practice this week too." | *:How's Kiko Lake these days?
