*:'''Something New Under The Sun''' | |||
*: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." | |||

*: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?

*:'''The Sky's The Limit''' | |||
*:After making a dramatic run to a third place finish in last year's Cup, [[Kreludor]] is favoured for a top position this year, but [[Coco Metrone]] recently reported taking a minor injury on the practice field last month. She's undergoing the best physical therapy the [[Grundo]] moon can provide, but will she be 100% in time for the first game? Teammate [[Zenor Kevix]] says yes. "Coco's working really hard. We all are. We won't disappoint our fans." | |||
