For the first four years, the Altador Cup Tournament consisted of sixteen teams representing the lands of Neopia. Following the introduction of Shenkuu, one team sat out each year to keep the numbers even, until the discovery of Moltara allowed a full roster of eighteen teams to play in Altador Cup V. Users could only support one team in a season, and could only switch between teams in the first season (Altador Cup I), between rounds.

The first team to cancel participation was Kreludor for Altador Cup II - in a statement by Derlyn Fonnet, this was due to a malfunctioning gravity generator leading to reduced "muscle and bone" density. The following year they returned to the competition, but Kiko Lake could not participate due to travel issues. Brightvale was unable to participate in Altador Cup IV as King Hagan thought it would make the country harder to govern.

An additional team is available each year as the practice team, from Jelly World. While the members of the team are unknown, it's known the Goalkeeper is a Jelly Kougra and the forwards a Jelly Kau and Usul. Nowadays, all the players are Jelly Chias.

So far Lutari Island has not participated in any of the Altador Cups, although two Lutaris have.

Yooyuball[]

The main sport in the Altador Cup is Yooyuball.

AC 2006 Referee

Yooyuball is strictly regulated by the referee.

The main game played to win the Altador Cup is called Yooyuball. The ball is actually a rolled up Petpet called a Yooyu, a creature native to Altador. There are a variety of different Yooyus used in the game, which gives the sport an unpredictable twist, requiring a team to alter its strategy depending on the type of Yooyu currently in play.


Slushie Slinger[]

Ctp 863

Added in the 2007 games, Slushie Slinger is a side Altador Cup game. Users play the role of a Red Tuskaninny waitress at the Slushie Concession Stand and must serve impatient fans (Red Nimmo, Purple Tonu, Yellow Ogrin, etc.) their slushies during Yooyuball games. Depending on what team the user joined, the Slushie Concession Stand would be the team's official slushie stand. Players would lose a life every time an empty slushie bottle falls to the floor or the customers reach the end of the counter.


Make Some Noise[]

Ctp 862

Make Some Noise featured the recurring character Techo Fanatic.

Added in the 2007 games, Make Some Noise is a side Altador Cup game. Assuming the role of the Techo Fanatic, users must cheer as loud as they can by tapping two randomly chosen keys together, raising the sound meter, for as long as they can in 30 seconds, then (though this is not necessary) pressing the spacebar before the time runs out. Depending on what team the user joined, the Techo Fanatic would be seen wearing that team's shirt and cheering for them.

Shootout Showdown[]

Shootout showdown

Shootout Showdown is a side Altador Cup game added as a part of the 2009 games. The player takes control of a Yooyuball player and tries to score goals against the opponent's goalie. The aim is for the player to score 5 goals as quickly as possible without missing or letting the goalie save their shots.



Staff Tournament[]

As another part of the Altador Cup, The Neopets Team participates in a tournament play of their own.

Trivia[]

  • The Altador Cup is an obvious parody of The FIFA World Cup, and usually takes place around the same time.
