Today is a Team Challege for Daily Dare! It seems though the Daily Dare Team Challege maybe glitched! A lot of people are having trouble with it saying the challenge is incomplete or it's saying you are your own partner. We will keep you guys updated as soon as we hear anything about the glitch being fixed!
Check out  our Daily Dare Coverage for game tips, prizes and previews and our Daily Dare Goodies for graphics, counters and more.

Tip: If your team challenge page says your score is incomplete while you did get the required score, you need to send in your score again. The catch is though, that the score you need to send must be higher than the score listed as incomplete. Basically you are your own opponent. Fun -_-;

UPDATE: From the TNT Message Board

Greetings!  So we know that you are wondering about why your score might not be counting for the Team Challenge and you are ending up playing the game 2 times. There is a glitch, but it isn't what you think…  Here is how it is supposed to work:  1) Select who you want to challenge (Abigail or Chadley)  2) Send an invitation to a friend and wait for them to accept it  3) Play the game and send the score.  Those of you that are having this issue are technically skipping ahead to step 3 before step 2 is finished. You need to wait for the invitation to be accepted before continuing. We are working on fixing this issue, but the fix will be that if you play your game and send your score BEFORE your teammate accepts your invitation then you forfeit the current Team Challenge. All invites you have will be rejected automatically. (Which is the bit that's not currently working. Being able to still find a partner and submit another score is the glitched part!) Remember, Team Challenge is a risk! Both of you need to commit to the risk before you'll be rewarded.  This will be fixed before the next Team Challenge, which means you might be able to take advantage of the issue this weekend during the current Team Challenge, though we would never suggest that.   - The Neopets Team Challenge Challenge Team
