The Committee has SpokenHello all and welcome to the Daily Neopets' Nearly Daily Report on the Altador Cup! And wow... Last week, I said that this cup is telling us to expect the unexpected. Well, that's just what happened yesterday. But as most of you have probably heard it's being echoed a million times, here's the quick version - there was an outbreak of a virus that causes players to have "Multiple Account Disorder" and "Magically Enhanced Physiology", and the ACRC (Altador Cup Rules Committee) is looking out for any behavioral changes.

Crazy right? But the Cup goes on, and so shall the show! Let's leave the drama yesterday and head over to today's games.

The Alabriss Bracket is now a smorgasbord of teams from all over the standings and as a result, some interesting match ups showed up today. Firstly, new title favorites Brightvale easily brought the brooms to Haunted Woods. This is another win under their growing belt, but the accusations are now flying that the Wizards are affected by the plague; I'll just say let the ACRC decide. But one thing needs no debate - the Zombies are in a terrible spot now and it'll take several miracles for them to crawl up the leaderboard.

Mmmm SlushiesBut the times may be a changing for Terror Mountain as they finally get a victory. Coming in as last place and with terrible performances in the first round, they seemed to be easy prey for Virtupets. But showing determination unlike anything they have shown before, they swamped the support games and though they finally lost in the main event. Chillers' fans are now finally able to taste victory! "About time." Captain Prytariel happily huffed.

And Krawk Island once again shows that their island is better as they won their match against Mystery Island; but once again Mystery Island has not yet dropped a single Yooyuball game. But you can't be sharp in one area and dull in the others in the Cup, so the Natives better step up their performance in the support games.

Team MerchandiseMinitheus Bracket was the more confusing bracket of the day, as title powerhouses Maraqua and Kreludor continued to slump, getting swept away by Faerieland and Lost Desert respectively. Some conspiracy theorists are theorizing that the slump is due to the plague described by the ACRC; and though while the rumors remain rumors, there has been an increase in ACRC presence in the wing of the Colosseum where both teams are housed. The shocking twists diverted attention caused the game between Altador and Shenkuu to be a rather quiet affair and a sweep in the Suns' favor rounds up this bracket.

Tyrannia DefenceThe day ended with Vaeolus Bracket and Tyrannia is once again bowling over its competitions as Moltara proved to be no challenge to the Fossils. Darigan Citadel seems to be in an upwards swing as the Minions easily bested the Rooligans in all games but Slushie Slinger. Champions Kiko Lake entered rough waters as Meridell held strong in the Yooyu events to force a draw, though that means they lost more than last year.

And that's all from me. Expect more surprises from the games tomorrow! This is Miko for TDN, signing off. Good night Neopia.
