It would be 540% if you bought it at 10! You must've had the stock boon from the obelisk? 

DONE!!! I reached double All Star, and then a little bit more since I wanted to even out my numbers.

I hit Rank 15 last night which was my goal. I've played a whole 3 games of sosd today, lol.

I've been going really strong all cup long, but finally, after 21 days of playing, I am officially tired of yyb. I just reached rank 29. One more to go. 
Anyone else pushing through to reach some last-minute goals?

Chin up ladies. We still made a profit, just not as much as we could have.

+540%, at 64? What's going on!

-grumbles many swear words that are not appropriate for TDN-

I've reached my goal of rank 10 yesterday. My previous best was rank 1 so this is a HUGE improvement for me. Maybe next year I'll take some time of from work and try All Star lol. Still playing a little when I have time but if I don't get the next rank, it's fine.

Every time you get a new yooyu (regardless of whether you scored, your opponent scored, or a clockwork yooyu blows up without anyone scoring), 8 seconds is removed from the timer, so it takes a minimum of 10 seconds for each goal. The maximum possible score would be 18-0, which is the highest I've ever heard of anyone scoring. Theoretically, it may be possible to squeeze in one last goal if you had a truly miraculous combination of powerups, but I've never heard of that actually happening. 
I would definitely agree that the timing is what's probably looked at in terms of cheating. If the games are happening too close together, that would indicate to me that someone might be playing multiple games at once. That would be a bigger indicator than the actual scores, imo. 
As for me personally, I usually score somewhere from 9-12 goals per game. My average at the moment is 10.1, and my best-ever score is 14-1. Strategy-wise, I play right to left using a 1x3 formation. Immediately when the game starts, I rush forward to steal the ball, charge up, and shoot just slightly down from center to the goalie's right side. I can usually score 3-4 times in a row that way before the other team starts getting more aggressive and manages to steal the ball from me.

I am greedy ???
I just sold half at 83...holding on to the other half to see what happens.
EDIT: And now, three minutes later, it's up to 87. I'm selling the rest before it drops x.x

My sole issue with her is the way she talks to us like we're children. She looks early 30s to me, a lot of us are the same age group or older, I suspect not many at all out of all the active players are actually children. But the overwhelmingly positively response to hardtotame seems to have had a salutary effect on the editorial so I have hope for Scrappy yet.
Interesting comment from you about the artwork, as I found something else online that implies that Scrappy isn't her first account and she was Hip-hop Queen before. The artwork for that account does look like her.

Somewhat intriguing, don't you think?

I believe the "consistently scoring 10+ points is a red flag for cheating" is not referring to individual YYB game scores (meaning not the scores you personally post), but for the team's overall winning score against another team. For example, if you look at Terror Mountain's scores from yesterday, 26 June, (http://www.neopets.com/altador/colosseum/schedule.phtml?day=all) against Tyrannia, we (TM) lost to Tyrannina in Yooyuball 5-8, won Slushie Slinger 8-7, lost Make Some Noise 7-9, and lost Shootout Showdown 7-8. It seems, as I've seen on some Neoboards, that team scores of 10+ indicate "outside" help, as those "high" scores are not normally seen/achievable, without some sort of other influence.
As far as your individual scores, I believe they are average. At least, that is what I normally get. And I don't believe anyone has been flagged, or will be flagged for posting those types of individual scores.
I play left to right, but 1-3, and try to score as many goals as I can. I use the bottom, right corner of the "pitch" as a guide, and run parallel with it, powering up the Yooyuball as I go, and launch it towards the goal. By doing that, I don't aim straight for dead center of the goal, but for the bottom, right corner of it. That, usually, is out of the way of the goalie.
 

You can call it greedy, I'll call it . . . ? fiscally responsible.

I did wait, and now I'm debating waiting more...... this is a slippery slope! Dx

@DragonPhoenix I feel that! I was in the same boat, hoping to make double AS and then thinking it wouldn't be possible with one less day. Except I never made my peace with it, lol. I'm set to just barely scrape by with enough points by the end of the tournament, but I'm going for it!

I ended up with the high scoring team. I'm just pretending I can't see sCrappy. >_< I clearly don't have the moral fortitude of @kayahtik

I'm keeping my team the same this round as well. I'm pretty pleased with how they all performed this week. I'm only one off of the 'highest scoring team', and that's because I absolutely refuse to use Scrappy. She could win 10k points for all I care, she is not welcome on my team. 
For star player, I'm sticking with Senor Malo. He's always been my favorite TNT ACer, and I'm really hoping he'll win this last round! (But who knows, since we still have NO idea what the criteria are.)

BUZZ is now at 62, SKBD at 65, and TAG a measly 56. I'll be keeping my portfolio open today so I can keep an eye on these guys!
