'''Meridell's [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team''' is all about "speed", and is said to be described with that one word. Their superior conditioning allows them to wear down opponents with a relentless flurry of cuts and screens from the opening face-off until the end of a game. Their speed, however, masks the fact they aren't the most accurate or powerful shooters. | '''Meridell's [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team''' is all about "speed", and is said to be described with that one word.

They began the 2006 tournament as one of the odds-on favourites to win, having run circles around [[Maraqua#Yooyuball|Maraqua]] in the first round, but "smashed their head on into a brick wall" when they faced [[Darigan]]'s defence in Round Two, finishing 17th. In [[Altador Cup II|2007]] Meridell fans hoped the replacement of reviled ''Left Forward'' [[Vitri Sitol]] with swift scorer [[Gregorgio Maille]] will not only give the team a much needed offensive boost, but also help improve their standing among fans around Neopia. When the team in fact did worse, the demanding fans wanted more change, so [[Sir Pollonaire Freidl]] was replaced by [[Yoris Obbles]]. This was just the boost they needed, finishing 5th overall in [[Altador Cup III|2008]]. Needless to say expectations were high for Team Meridell in [[Altador Cup V]], but they were a disappointment, finishing 11th overall. Although in [[Altador Cup V|2010]], they fought with [[Roo Island]] for the final spot in the finals, but just fell short, entering the playoffs in 5th place, and leaving in 8th. | They began the 2006 tournament as one of the odds-on favourites to win, having run circles around [[Maraqua#Yooyuball|Maraqua]] in the first round, but "smashed their head on into a brick wall" when they faced [[Darigan]]'s defence in Round Two, finishing 17th.
