I'm not really following the event, BUT, I want to share with everyone that my mother fell in love with the soccer ball used in the cup this year. She ordered her Brazucas online and we went to pick them up today. XD

Until we find a BGC to buy at a non inflated price, we will finalise all the details about lending requirements and be able to let you all know.
 
Yes we are still checking this board / answering questions. We just haven't thought over every single detail. The last time we had a BGC for lend, someone ended up feeding it to their pet by mistake. We want to avoid this situation to happen again.

So I have JUST received this neomail:
 
"Dear Patricia,
Congratulations! Your entry (AC and Girl Power: Interviewing the Female Captains) has been selected to appear in a future issue of the Neopian Times. A shiny trophy has been added to your user lookup. Thank you for contributing to the Neopian Times!"
 
OH MY GOD!!! My VERY FIRST try, which I submitted just last Friday, and it's IN!!! I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!!! *dies of happiness* :happydance: :dance:

Good morning, sports fans! This is Brooke, reporting from the hallway outside the TDN newsroom. It's been quite the round, and we're excited to bring you the results of the last day of the bracket. I'll launch right in with the Alabriss Bracket!
 
In our first match of the bracket, Mystery Island's scores took a sudden, mysterious drop (Matt's not the only one who can spin a pun!), allowing Faerieland to gain some ground in the form of a win in Slushie Slinger. It may not seem like a grand victory, but this match marked the end of a rather epic four-day sweep-streak. Perhaps the coming day of rest will help the Natives get their scores back into their normal range.
 
Snowcapped peaks met scorched sands in our next match. While neither the Chillers or the Mummies have been doing spectacularly this year, it was the Lost Desert's finest who bested Terror Mountain. The games were all close, and the Chillers found Lost Desert's weakness and stole a win in Make Some Noise. This is only Terror Mountain's third win of the bracket; next round may hold more success for them.
 
In the last match of the Alabriss Bracket, Meridell and Krawk Island went head-to-head. Both teams have been doing really well this bracket, and the results show that they were fairly well matched. The scores were close, and each team took two events. Today both teams will enjoy a well-earned day of respite before launching back into the action for the final stretch.
 
Now let's head over to Lydia with the Minitheus Bracket.
 
"Thank you, Brooke. You'd better not be sneaking back into the newsroom. I hear that they haven't found all the falling hazards. Midtime, you be careful too. Knowing Austin, there might be actual explosives stashed somewhere…
 
"Anyway. The Minitheus bracket finishes off this round with a bang. It was the round we'd been looking forward to this season. Overall, it ended up with the Haunted Woods taking first, Virtupets second and Moltara third, which is also how the three stand in the overall results so far. It's becoming clear that these three teams will likely be battling for the three podium spots, and no matter which team takes the top spot, the win will be unprecedented in the history of the Cup. Both the Haunted Woods and Virtupets have already been champions, and Moltara was struggling to stay out of the bottom tier just last year.
 
" Now, to the individual results. The Minitheus bracket saw two sweeps and one near sweep. Tyrannia was able to sweep Altador in a series of one-sided matches. Altador had been struggling this entire season to pull off the same feat they did last year, but it simply wasn't feasible this year.
 
"Kreludor, on the other hand, had been doing well up until this round. However, they, like Altador, were unable to stand up to the three powerhouses in their bracket, and today was no different. The Moons lost on all fronts in their battle against Virtupets yesterday, and can only remain hopeful for the next bracket.
 
"In the last match of the bracket, the Haunted Woods were able to edge out Moltara in a series of narrow matches in Yooyuball, Shootout Showdown and Make Some Noise, but the Magmas drew on their old strengths and were able to come out on top in Slushie Slinger.
 
"I'll pass this to Midtime with the results from the Vaeolus Bracket!"
 
[The Colosseum.]
 
" - something, must be something I'm forgetting - Ah! Thank you, Lydia. The Vaeolus Bracket, not usually the centre of the spotlight, happens this time to be home to a most astonishing upset. I'll get to it straightaway.
 
"If Maraqua were likely to see another sweep this Cup, few people expected it to be today. Kiko Lake have been doing exceptionally well over the course of the Cup, and have lost Yooyuball to only three other teams - and beaten all but three of those in a rematch afterwards. The Mermaids simply could not match their record, and although the Kikos' performance has declined recently, Mermaid fans were for the most part hopeful only for a draw or two. To have won in Yooyuball was beyond expectations; but spectators looked on in amazement as Maraqua went on to sweep their erstwhile rivals across the board, posting scores far beyond the wildest imaginings of analysts. Maraqua supporters are right to be pleased - but is this only a special occurrence, or are the Mermaids set to rise to something approximating their former glory? That is something to find out tomorrow.
 
"The Minions, meanwhile, continue to dominate their bracket. The Wizards, their opponents today, came admirably close to matching their Yooyuball performance; but the Minions got the field under control towards the end of the match, and secured a solid victory for their team; which was then supported by victories in Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise. However, they never did catch up to Brightvale's early lead in the shootouts, and the Wizards, having bested them in one game at least, saved themselves from a sweep this time.
 
"The match between Shenkuu and Roo Island saw a similar outcome - Roo Island won out on the field, in the slushie contest, and in fan support; while the Ninjas, who have met with mixed success in this bracket, slipped past them in Shootout Showdown alone. Roo Island fans celebrate the occasion with a vivacity that is by now familiar to all attendees, and no doubt look with excitement to the match to come.
 
"Now, for the matches to watch - I, er...
 
[The reporter looks confused for a few moments. Then something occurs to him, and he counts on his fingers.]
 
"...I recommend you take a rest, as today is a bye day, and there will in fact be no matches to watch. None at all. The opponents will be nonexistent. Apologies for that.
 
"And with that, thank you very much for watching, viewers! This is Midtime, with all The Daily Neopets news staff, signing off."

If you play fair and square, you do not need to worry about review scores ;)

It doesn't look too good....
Especially considering all the effort it's taking to earn this prize. -_-

Ew, I hate Tyrannian. It's always so ugly! Can't wait for the Maraquan Yooyu, if that ever gets released. (I imagine it'd look like a little pink (or green) octopus. It MUST be an octopus). At least this one doesn't look TOO hideous, I like it's mischievous look on it's face.

I don't think it will be used in the game at all. Just like when they released red, blue, yellow and green Yooyus. More likely that they went with that design because a Tyrannian PB is a very lame prize for making it beyond all-star.

A new game named Pakiko has been found. Head to play game now!! Check out the trophies below!

I've got a few Neopets 14th Birthday Goodie Bag's that I'd like to sell, and figured I'd offer them here in case people were interested.
 
The bags reward 2-3 out of 9 possible prizes, some of which are these awesome petpets!
 

 
I'm looking to sell them fairly fast, and with the current price being around 400k, like to sell them for around 350k each. If anyone is interested, please feel free to pm me on here or on NP and I'll get back to you asap.
 
Edit: Well, that was extremely fast, thanks! SOLD

Thanks, y'all! :D
 
Yes, if it is a 24 hour cap, then the 3 would make sense since (homophones!) I was 'Liking' replies yesterday.
 
Cheers!
 
:P

I have a lot of female friends that play as male characters I don't see a problem in it.

TNT has fixed the Potion of Strategic Maneuvers as it was not rewarding the movement and strength icons it was originally intended.
 


It's a map in a bottle!
