Well, it makes as much sense as reading tea leaves or flipping a coin, doesn't it? | ::[[Team Shenkuu|Shenkuu]]: '''Looking to the Skies'''-Every Yooyuball fan has their own way of guessing how well their favourite team will do in the Altador Cup, but none has a method as unique as that of the Wise Old Gnorbu at the Lunar Temple.

This offseason the team's tried plenty of ways to break the cycle. "We've reached out to the fans with lots of promotion and did a toy drive with Donny's Repair Shop to help with travel costs. We're doing all we can." | ::[[Team Terror Mountain|Terror Mountain]]: '''Terror Mountain Seeks to Raise Support'''-"It's a vicious cycle," defender Rinok Fitel explained.

==Plot== | |||
Altador Cup VI was quite unlike anyone predicted. After the double round robin, the five finals brackets were released. The first had Krawk Island upsetting Kreludor and Virtupets owning Maraqua. The Space Station's momentum carried into the Championship, and nearly swept the Pirates. Despite the hype surrounding Terror Mountain's amazing year, they were utterly defeated by Meridell and Darigan Citadel, finishing in eighth. Former champions Lost Desert failed to meet any expectations they tried to meet for the year, and finished in a mediocre 13th. Althought losing even twice to Altador and finishing in dead last two years in a row, Moltara proved to be something new by winning their first-ever yooyuball game-5 to be exact! | |||

{{Main|Altador Cup VI Staff Tournament}} | |||
The 2011 staff tournament began June 6 and ended July 1. Rather than having a [[wikipedia:single-elimination tournament|knockout]] tournament as in [[Altador Cup V]], 18 staff members were assigned to a team and categorized as either a ''forward'', ''defender'', or ''goalie''. Users then created a 6-person team using two forwards, two defenders, and one goalie. At the end of the contest, the total points earned by the team were added together and used as currency for the prize shop. | |||
