	Before starting, the player must choose the direction that they want to play in and the formation that they want to use. After a short introductory animation, the game begins. When playing the game, the player controls only one Yooyuball team member at a time. Usually, the team member that the player controls is the one that is closest to the ball. Users can move team members around the field using either the [[Wikipedia:Arrow keys\|arrow keys]] or the [[Wikipedia:Pointer (graphical user interfaces)\|mouse pointer]]. If a team member touches a Yooyu that is on the ground, they will automatically pick it up. When a team member is holding a ~~ball~~, the player can use the either the [[Wikipedia:Space bar\|space bar]] or left [[Wikipedia:Mouse button\|mouse button]] to throw the ball. Holding down the throw button will charge up the throw. The more a throw is charged, the further it will go; however, team members move more slowly when charging. When a team member is not holding a Yooyu, the throw button can instead be used to dash. Dashing into an opponent with a Yooyu in their possession will cause the ~~player~~ to steal the Yooyu from the opponent. Players can use the V key to quickly switch to ~~the~~ goalkeeper when the Yooyu is near their net. They can also use the [[Wikipedia:Shift key\|shift key]] to return all of their team members to their starting positions.

	Each game of Yooyuball lasts 3 minutes. The team with the most points when time expires is the winner. If both teams have the same number of points at the end of the game, a draw is declared. Every time a player sumbits a winning score or a draw, they earn points toward their next Altador Cup rank. They also earn victory points for their Altador Cup team. Wins are worth more points than draws.		Each game of Yooyuball lasts 3 minutes. The team with the most points when time expires is the winner.
