I think I misunderstood, I thought you were supposed to pick from the players you picked, so why would anyone pick her when she had low stats in the beginning? 
I kept picking Senor Malo every Round hoping he'd get it at least once. My sister got the Binary_Supagoo Bobblehead and sent it as a gift for me to sell in appreciation of our sibling late night playing from 12 pm (CMT) to 2 am (CMT) YYB, SLSL, MSN, & SOSD to rank up sessions. We laughed so hard at our lack of skill.  Good times!
My overall total: 31634   Oh well, next year? 

JADE WAS THE STAR PLAYER ? ? ?
?
So reading the blurb, loads of people picked her; but she failed to perform didn't she, lol. They must have been really scratching around for the WHY for Round 4's star player.
TNT - I KNOW ! Let's just award the person picked the most, doesn't matter if they were actually really rubbish !  ?

RESULTS ARE IN! Head over to http://www.neopets.com/altador/colosseum/staff/ to get your final Round 4 Prize points/np/ Star Player Bobblehead (if you were so lucky)
Good Luck & let's hope the Staff Prize Shop aren't disappointing. Good thoughts, hopes, and if they're weird...we'll just make interesting posts about them! *lol*

@midnight_spell360 Thank you!   Krawk Island put up a good fight both times. Getting 15 was not an easy achievement with Dinksy speeding over to steal the ball! 
@Scoobert_Doo Congrats on completing your goals! ? That's crazy you capped YB every day?? 1,012 games, Wow! I'm not sure if TM will take the top spot on the podium, but i think we have a good shot at 3rd. 
My goal for AC was to make All Star and try and play more games then i did last year. I managed to play more and reach rank 24. I was 4 YB games away from rank 25, but i didn't have enough time yesterday to finish. I'm happy with 24 though, along with the prize points.
It was a long month and the games got tiresome after awhile, but it was another fun year. Glad to have been apart of Team Terror Mountain again!  ? ❄️⛄?⛄❄️

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

@Scoobert_Doo Impressive achievements! Especially capping Yooyuball every day!
My goal was to at least get the same rank as last year, which was 13, and I managed to get 16, so I'm pleased with that.

@TokaValencia I made a  face bc KI was my team! But CONGRATULATIONS! What an amazing job you did!   

Late post, I know. Just finished playing 46 games of YYB. In case anyone is wondering, if you capped YYB for every playable day of this year's AC, you'd have played a total of 1,012 games. Let's just say I'm glad the AC is over and I will not have to play/see YYB for another year. So, @TokaValencia, @Nielo, and @rntracy1, did you make your AC XIII goals? I sure did. First one, was to make All-Star. "Check". (My final rank is 25). Next, was to get at least 10,000 points for the prize shop. "Check". (Currently at 12,892 and thinking about going for 13,000). And, my last goal was to cap Yooyuball everyday of the AC. "Check". As I mentioned above, that came out to 1,012 games of YYB total. Still keeping my fingers crossed that TM could be on the top spot of the podium - 1st Place, but who knows?! Hope you all enjoyed this year's AC - AC XIII. Thank you for posting on this thread and being teammates. Couldn't have done any of this without you!

My best score for YB was 13-0 and I only reached that score two times. (Whenever i do reach 13 its 13-1 or 13-2) However, the past two days I managed to score 15-0 three times now! 
I'm also feeling much better. No more fever, just a stuffed up nose. ? Thank you again @Nielo for the well wishes!

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.

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?

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. 

The same with me, @Rayd1978 , using the 2 + 2 and can usually scoop the YYB first to get 5-6 goals without much obstruction, and then it becomes outrunning the opponent or stealing the YYB back. But I send 8-10 goals mostly, with usually only giving up 0-2 to the other team. I hope they don't think that's a signal for cheating, bc having to go through the reCapcha pictures prove-you're-not-a-robot is crazy enough & takes up time. I was 24 points away from Ranking up but the change of day came & I'm beat. Then to see that my team KI lost all the games to Meridell, that is really discouraging. ? I just hope they don't make our scores a point of suspicion on top of all the effort we're putting in, like TNT/JS STOP SUCKING THE LIFE OUT OF GAMES FOR ME!      I really need to go sleep now! 

Not sure where we are standing after seeing Tyrannia taking yesterday. I will ride this out, til the end, no matter how we stand, after tomorrow. I think Shawn Mendes explains my AC plight the best:
 

@TokaValencia I hope you'll feel better soon! This entire weekend is made up of bye days though, so you wouldn't have been able to rank up anyway.

Thanks everyone ? this is officially closed. Got my project finished last night. It will be a few weeks before I get the results since I turned it in a week early so I can enjoy my vacation homework free.  
Hello friends,
  I am working on my final presentation for school.
I was wondering if anyone could do a 10 question survey from a safe school approved website called surveymonkey. Average completion time is about 1 minute. Its pretty easy. 
It is set to anonymous, so it wont ask for any personal information. 
Its about food and feelings.  Just 10 questions on feelings and food.???????
As soon as it is complete the results will automatically be sent to me. 
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5FCP9B6
I appreciate all who help ? Thank you! 
 
Oh and I also asked moderators for permission so no worries. 

After the loss with Faerieland it's nice to see the 4 W's for Haunted Woods. Great job TM!❄️⛄❄️ @Scoobert_Doo Definitely not giving up yet. I don't think i can max out every game ether, but i'll try to play as much as i can for each of them.
Of course before the finals I start to come down with a fever.  I'm hoping this weekend i can sweat it out and be better to play for the long hours!
