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.

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 Yooyu, 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 team member to steal the Yooyu from the opponent. Players can use the V key to quickly switch to their 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.
