[[Image:AC 2006 Trophy.gif|right|frame|The famed trophy that gives the Cup its name.]]

The '''Altador Cup''' is a yearly gaming [[plot]] on [[Neopets]] which begins on June 1, and continues until gaming is completed (first year took place between June 1, 2006 and August 4). As a sporting event, sixteen teams from the lands of [[Neopia]] gathered in [[Altador]] to compete in the sport of Yooyuball for the Altador Cup trophy. During the second Altador Cup, the plot lasted from June 1, 2007 to July 9. The third annual Altador Cup commenced on June 12, 2008. This is, so far, the only tournament which hasn't commenced on the usual June 1st date.

==Yooyuball==
[[Image:AC 2006 Referee.gif|right|frame|Yooyuball is strictly regulated.]]
The game played to win the Altador Cup is called '''Yooyuball'''. Gameplay appears to be based on [[Wikipedia:Jai_alai|Jai alai]], where players carry a ball in a sling and charge down the field, trying to throw the ball into the other team's net to score a goal. 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.

*''Normal'' - The most common Yooyu which behaves like a normal ball of play without any extra effects. This Yooyu was added during the second Altador Cup.
*''Fire'' - A very fast Yooyu, it moves in a straight line and must be transferred very quickly between team-mates, because keeping it too long could result in burns.
*''Snow'' - Much slower than the Normal Yooyu, the Snow Yooyu also moves in a straight line. It freezes the muscles of those playing with it, making game play quite slow.
*''[[Mutant]]'' - Leading to an extremely unpredictable game, the Mutant Yooyu will move in numerous, random patterns, such as beginning to curve at different points in the throw, changing speed, and only rarely shooting in a straight line.
*''[[Faerie#Colour|Faerie]]'' - Floating lightly through the air, the Faerie Yooyu curves in flight and leaves players wondering when it will drop down low enough for them to capture and pass it.
*''[[Darigan]]'' - A misbehaving Yooyu which flies in a different direction the player holding it is facing, the Darigan Yooyu's flight can be predicted based on where a player is facing in the area. This Yooyu was added in the 2007 games.
*''[[Clockwork]]'' - The Clockwork Yooyu is a wind-up robotic toy that will begin to glow red and explode between 1 - 15 seconds if it isn't put into a goal. This Yooyu was added in the 2007 games.

Yooyuball plays as a [[Wikipedia:Adobe Flash|flash]] game, where users can play with use of the mouse and keyboard. Before each game of Yooyuball begins, users choose the formation they want their players to stand in and select which direction they would like to move the ball down the field. Using the mouse, users point at the player they want to move around, which will select the player. The selected player can be guided around the field using the mouse. When a player has possession of the ball, clicking the left mouse button throws the ball.

If a user wanted to deselect a player, they pressed the space bar or the ''S'' key. When none of the players were selected, they can clicked anywhere on the field to move the closest player to the position they clicked on. To toggle between players, users press the left and right arrow keys (or the ''A'' and ''D'' keys). Users can activate a player when toggling between them by pressing the space bar. Pressing the Shift key to moves players back to their starting positions.

A new rule was added on June 24, 2006, which would make the Yooyu jump from a ''Keeper's'' hands if it stayed there longer than 5 seconds. It is believed this was implemented because too many users were scoring a single goal then letting the ''Keeper'' hold onto the ball for the remainder of play, scoring an automatic win.

Between each goal, a cutscene is played, showing either the goal, the crowd, or - added in 2007 - the Yooyuball selection machines beneath the arena. While the cutscene is playing, game time is still used up, but a 'continue' button appears after a short delay allowing the user to skip most of the animation. An animation accompanies the introduction of each Yooyu to the field, also, but this can be skipped using the space bar.

===The Committee===
[[Image:AC 2007 committee.gif|right|frame|The Committee in 2007.]]
The Altador Cup Committee is a group of officials who carefully examine each play, making sure the rules of Yooyuball are followed. Players or fans who feel something needs to be reviewed can file a petition, and the committee will decide whether or not to rule on the matter. Once both sides of the issue are heard, the committee gathers in its private chambers to discuss the situation and vote on an appropriate course of action. Some feel they are too strict, but it's the committee's decisions which maintain the integrity of the game, and the committee members' actions are always motivated by a desire to protect the game's best interests.

[[Image:AC 2006 Committee.gif|left|frame|and in 2006...]]
It was the Committee which sent invitations to the worlds of Neopia in 2006, asking to participate in the first Altador Cup tournament in 1000 years. It's also assumed the Committee is a front for the actions taken by [[The Neopets Team]], who make sure the game is fair and balanced for all users.

The Altador Cup Tournament consists of sixteen teams representing the lands of Neopia. In total from previous years, eighteen worlds have participated, each sending a team to compete in the Colosseum in Altador. Users could only support one team at a time, and could only switch to another between rounds (only in the 2006 games). In 2007, the Kreludor team was replaced with Shenkuu. Why this was done was released in a statement by [[Derlyn Fonnet]], explaining that the 'muscle and bone' density of the Kreludans was, due to a malfunctioning gravity generator, too low to safely play on Neopia. To the happiness of many fans, Kreludor returned for the 2008 tournament. However, Kiko Lake could not participate because of a travel issue. Recently, the discovery of 2009's Altador Cup logo has shown that it will be [[Brightvale]] that will not participate.

Only sixteen teams were available for users to play, but a 17th team came from [[Jelly World]], which has participated as the practice team for all three years. 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]].

==Slushie Slinger==
[[Image:Ctp 863.gif|left|frame|Slushie Slinger featured as an alternative to Yooyuball matches.]]

Added in the 2007 games, '''Slushie Slinger''' is an game users could play for lower points besides playing Yooyuball. 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 [[slushie]]s while Yooyuball games play. 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 if the customers reach the end of the counter.
 

==Make Some Noise==
[[Image:Ctp 862.gif|right|frame|A further alternative to normal game play, this game featured recurring character the [[Techo Fanatic]].]]

Added in the 2007 games, '''Make Some Noise''' is an game users could play for lower points besides playing Yooyuball. 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 teams shirt, and cheering for them.
 

==Shootout Showdown==

==Plot participation==
:''Main Articles: [[Altador Cup 2006]], [[Altador Cup 2007]], [[Altador Cup 2008]], [[Altador Cup 2009]]''

Unlike regular plots where the plot was written by The Neopets Team, the plot was directed by the collective users on Neopets, and how well they played together in each of their selected teams. A plot summary was written after play to act out who won in each cause. Also, each year had their own methods of participation, and how the plot would progress.

==Staff Tournament==
As another part of the Altador Cup, The Neopets Team participates in a tournament play of their own. They did this in 2006, but they did not do this in 2007 or 2008.

Along with the release of the Altador Cup on June 1, 2006, a new [[Shop]] called [[Altador Cup Souvenirs]] opened, which sold sports team merchandise for each of the teams playing. Rather than ''Altador Cup Tournament'' items have a single use, they can be used for many different things. Hands and bottles are used as toys, pennants can be placed in [[Neohome]]s, and the jerseys are [[Clothes]].
 

==Trivia==
*The first Altador Cup appeared to coincide with dates and times of the [[Wikipedia:FIFA World Cup|FIFA World Cup]] in Germany [[Wikipedia:2006 FIFA World Cup|of 2006]], and the golden orb, seen in the preview trailer, of the trophy bore a remarkable resemblance to the actual World Cup.
*Noted advertisements shown in [[Wikipedia:North America|North America]] within the 2006 tournament were a new [[Wikipedia:Dragon Ball Z|Dragon Ball Z]] game being released in July 2006 and a new [[Wikipedia:Garfield|Garfield]] movie. For 2007, [[Wikipedia:Evan Almighty|Evan Almighty]] was advertised.
*During Yooyuball game play when the [[Ixi]] and [[Grarrl]] [[Wikipedia:News presenter|news presenters]] are making their remarks about the teams, were a user to refrain from clicking the "continue" button, they would begin to ask the user to carry on, mention they see [[Tarla]] and need to hurry and catch her or reminding the user that sitting and watching them does not earn them points. A [[Spyder]] may also come down from the ceiling.

==Plot participation==
The gameplay is similar to Altador Cup II and III, where players choose and contribute points to their selected team. Players are not allowed to change their team after the registration period.

Altador Cup IV still uses the "double round robin" tournament play, introduced in Altador Cup II. Each team will play with the other fifteen teams twice, after which all teams will take part in the four days finals phase. The finals consist of a playoff match-up and a final match-up, each lasts for two days. The 16 teams will split into four groups according to their ranking. In the playoff match-up, the highest and lowest ranked teams for each group will play against each other, while the second and third ranked teams for each group play against each other. The two winning teams of each group will play against each other for the first place within their group, while the two losing teams fight for the third place.

Players can contribute points to their team by scoring goals in Yooyuball, and also by playing Slushie Slinger, Make Some Noise, and Shootout Showdown. The results for all four games will be evaluated separately and contribute to the player's team overall standing in the tournament.

[[Image:AC 2006 Trophy.gif|right|frame|The famed trophy that gives the Cup its name.]]

The '''Altador Cup''' is a yearly gaming [[plot]] on [[Neopets]] which begins on June 1, and continues until gaming is completed (first year took place between June 1, 2006 and August 4). As a sporting event, sixteen teams from the lands of [[Neopia]] gathered in [[Altador]] to compete in the sport of Yooyuball for the Altador Cup trophy. During the second Altador Cup, the plot lasted from June 1, 2007 to July 9. The third annual Altador Cup commenced on June 12, 2008. This is, so far, the only tournament which hasn't commenced on the usual June 1st date.

==Yooyuball==
[[Image:AC 2006 Referee.gif|right|frame|Yooyuball is strictly regulated.]]
The game played to win the Altador Cup is called '''Yooyuball'''. Gameplay appears to be based on [[Wikipedia:Jai_alai|Jai alai]], where players carry a ball in a sling and charge down the field, trying to throw the ball into the other team's net to score a goal. 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.

*''Normal'' - The most common Yooyu which behaves like a normal ball of play without any extra effects. This Yooyu was added during the second Altador Cup.
*''Fire'' - A very fast Yooyu, it moves in a straight line and must be transferred very quickly between team-mates, because keeping it too long could result in burns.
*''Snow'' - Much slower than the Normal Yooyu, the Snow Yooyu also moves in a straight line. It freezes the muscles of those playing with it, making game play quite slow.
*''[[Mutant]]'' - Leading to an extremely unpredictable game, the Mutant Yooyu will move in numerous, random patterns, such as beginning to curve at different points in the throw, changing speed, and only rarely shooting in a straight line.
*''[[Faerie#Colour|Faerie]]'' - Floating lightly through the air, the Faerie Yooyu curves in flight and leaves players wondering when it will drop down low enough for them to capture and pass it.
*''[[Darigan]]'' - A misbehaving Yooyu which flies in a different direction the player holding it is facing, the Darigan Yooyu's flight can be predicted based on where a player is facing in the area. This Yooyu was added in the 2007 games.
*''[[Clockwork]]'' - The Clockwork Yooyu is a wind-up robotic toy that will begin to glow red and explode between 1 - 15 seconds if it isn't put into a goal. This Yooyu was added in the 2007 games.

Yooyuball plays as a [[Wikipedia:Adobe Flash|flash]] game, where users can play with use of the mouse and keyboard. Before each game of Yooyuball begins, users choose the formation they want their players to stand in and select which direction they would like to move the ball down the field. Using the mouse, users point at the player they want to move around, which will select the player. The selected player can be guided around the field using the mouse. When a player has possession of the ball, clicking the left mouse button throws the ball.

If a user wanted to deselect a player, they pressed the space bar or the ''S'' key. When none of the players were selected, they can clicked anywhere on the field to move the closest player to the position they clicked on. To toggle between players, users press the left and right arrow keys (or the ''A'' and ''D'' keys). Users can activate a player when toggling between them by pressing the space bar. Pressing the Shift key to moves players back to their starting positions.

A new rule was added on June 24, 2006, which would make the Yooyu jump from a ''Keeper's'' hands if it stayed there longer than 5 seconds. It is believed this was implemented because too many users were scoring a single goal then letting the ''Keeper'' hold onto the ball for the remainder of play, scoring an automatic win.

Between each goal, a cutscene is played, showing either the goal, the crowd, or - added in 2007 - the Yooyuball selection machines beneath the arena. While the cutscene is playing, game time is still used up, but a 'continue' button appears after a short delay allowing the user to skip most of the animation. An animation accompanies the introduction of each Yooyu to the field, also, but this can be skipped using the space bar.

===The Committee===
[[Image:AC 2007 committee.gif|right|frame|The Committee in 2007.]]
The Altador Cup Committee is a group of officials who carefully examine each play, making sure the rules of Yooyuball are followed. Players or fans who feel something needs to be reviewed can file a petition, and the committee will decide whether or not to rule on the matter. Once both sides of the issue are heard, the committee gathers in its private chambers to discuss the situation and vote on an appropriate course of action. Some feel they are too strict, but it's the committee's decisions which maintain the integrity of the game, and the committee members' actions are always motivated by a desire to protect the game's best interests.

[[Image:AC 2006 Committee.gif|left|frame|and in 2006...]]
It was the Committee which sent invitations to the worlds of Neopia in 2006, asking to participate in the first Altador Cup tournament in 1000 years. It's also assumed the Committee is a front for the actions taken by [[The Neopets Team]], who make sure the game is fair and balanced for all users.

The Altador Cup Tournament consists of sixteen teams representing the lands of Neopia. In total from previous years, eighteen worlds have participated, each sending a team to compete in the Colosseum in Altador. Users could only support one team at a time, and could only switch to another between rounds (only in the 2006 games). In 2007, the Kreludor team was replaced with Shenkuu.

Recently, the discovery of 2009's Altador Cup logo has shown that it will be [[Brightvale]] that will not participate.

Only sixteen teams were available for users to play, but a 17th team came from [[Jelly World]], which has participated as the practice team for all three years. 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]].

==Slushie Slinger==
[[Image:Ctp 863.gif|left|frame|Slushie Slinger featured as an alternative to Yooyuball matches.]]

Added in the 2007 games, '''Slushie Slinger''' is an game users could play for lower points besides playing Yooyuball. 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 [[slushie]]s while Yooyuball games play. 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 if the customers reach the end of the counter.
 

==Make Some Noise==
[[Image:Ctp 862.gif|right|frame|A further alternative to normal game play, this game featured recurring character the [[Techo Fanatic]].]]

Added in the 2007 games, '''Make Some Noise''' is an game users could play for lower points besides playing Yooyuball. 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 teams shirt, and cheering for them.
 

==Shootout Showdown==

==Plot participation==
:''Main Articles: [[Altador Cup 2006]], [[Altador Cup 2007]], [[Altador Cup 2008]], [[Altador Cup 2009]]''

Unlike regular plots where the plot was written by The Neopets Team, the plot was directed by the collective users on Neopets, and how well they played together in each of their selected teams. A plot summary was written after play to act out who won in each cause. Also, each year had their own methods of participation, and how the plot would progress.

==Staff Tournament==
As another part of the Altador Cup, The Neopets Team participates in a tournament play of their own. They did this in 2006, but they did not do this in 2007 or 2008.

Along with the release of the Altador Cup on June 1, 2006, a new [[Shop]] called [[Altador Cup Souvenirs]] opened, which sold sports team merchandise for each of the teams playing. Rather than ''Altador Cup Tournament'' items have a single use, they can be used for many different things. Hands and bottles are used as toys, pennants can be placed in [[Neohome]]s, and the jerseys are [[Clothes]].
 

==Trivia==
*The first Altador Cup appeared to coincide with dates and times of the [[Wikipedia:FIFA World Cup|FIFA World Cup]] in Germany [[Wikipedia:2006 FIFA World Cup|of 2006]], and the golden orb, seen in the preview trailer, of the trophy bore a remarkable resemblance to the actual World Cup.
*Noted advertisements shown in [[Wikipedia:North America|North America]] within the 2006 tournament were a new [[Wikipedia:Dragon Ball Z|Dragon Ball Z]] game being released in July 2006 and a new [[Wikipedia:Garfield|Garfield]] movie. For 2007, [[Wikipedia:Evan Almighty|Evan Almighty]] was advertised.
*During Yooyuball game play when the [[Ixi]] and [[Grarrl]] [[Wikipedia:News presenter|news presenters]] are making their remarks about the teams, were a user to refrain from clicking the "continue" button, they would begin to ask the user to carry on, mention they see [[Tarla]] and need to hurry and catch her or reminding the user that sitting and watching them does not earn them points. A [[Spyder]] may also come down from the ceiling.

75.24.176.249: Hmm

==Keep on topic==
do not use this disscusion board to talk about what team you are on, or how awesome they are. that is what a forum is for. this discussion page is used ONLY to help expand the main article. please don't do anything of the sorts which i mentioned. :( --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:18, 4 Jun 2006 (CDT)

==Team Rosters/Image Links==
On the order of teams shown on the article, it should start with Altador and end with the Sapce Station, as Altador is listed as "team one" in the [http://neopets.com/altador/colosseum/teams.phtml?team=1 roster link]. Also, posting the links to all the current team images as refernce to what each player fully looked like.

If they do this again (the altador cup) next year, i'm pretty sure the same people won't be playing, so it would be good for someone to save the images perhaps.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 23:54, 9 Jun 2006 (CDT)

:I took the liberty and saved all the images of the full teams and staff members. as long as my computer doesn't crash, i have all the data for uploading if we should need it. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 18:53, 24 Apr 2007 (CDT)

::Will begin uploading all the team images to the database soon, due to computer work going on. If there are some missing, please let me know. Hopefully, when the wiki coding is updated here, we can add these effectivelty to the yooyuball sections of the world articles. For now...at least the data will be here. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 04:32, 20 Aug 2007 (UTC)

==Winning Results (Cup + Staff)==
Adding the results from the tournament here. made into tables, will be decided if the will need to be used in the article later. colors can be added to these later to make them more readable and similar to the real tables on Neopets.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 23:12, 15 Jun 2006 (CDT)

==Redesign of team rosters==
to go along with the updating of the article before the release of the new Altador Cup this June (just in one month! :o), I thought it would be a good idea to move all the team data to each other their relating worlds. This would mean Meridell, Darigan Citadel and even Kiko Lake would have their own Yooyuball section. It would allow each article to speak of their own team dynamics, and keep them seperate from the whole of the Altador Cup. What do others think on this? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 02:40, 1 May 2007 (CDT)
:Sounds good to me. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 12:04, 1 May 2007 (CDT)

=="Altador Cup 2006" goal complete?==
Is the ''Altador Cup 2006'' goal complete? I mentioned a goal on the [[NeoDex:Community Portal|Community portal]], and i wonder if the criteria is met (year 2006 information complete and article ready for 2007). Want verification before i take the goal down. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 02:08, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
:I'd say so. I can't think of anything else to add and the article seems pretty much complete. --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 09:09, 22 May 2007 (CDT)

==Altador Cup 2007==
It seems that TNT have decided to change most of the [http://www.neopets.com/altador/colosseum/teams.phtml team rosters] slightly. The group image is still the same and the player profiles haven't been updated yet, just the new pictures show up. It seems that all of the teams except [[Brightvale#Yooyuball_3|Brightvale]], [[Kreludor]], [[Tyrannia#Yooyuball|Tyrannia]], [[Mystery_Island#Yooyuball|Mystery Island]] have one new player as of this post. --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 10:55, 31 May 2007 (CDT)

:Kreludor was taken off the listing, and [[Shenkuu]] joined. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] 21:40, 1 Jun 2007 (CDT)

::That seems highly bizarre, because i saw that Kreludor had a new player like most of the other teams (when Dizzy mentioned the changes). Why did they change their mind about kreludor? That it wasn't an established team or world like the rest? *shrugs* Does anyone remember what type of Neopet the new Kreludor player was? I'm beginning to wish i saved the picture now... --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:18, 2 Jun 2007 (CDT)

:::I don't know which one is new, but you could try going from ''<nowiki>http://images.neopets.com/altador/altadorcup/head_shots/kreludor_1.gif</nowiki>'' to ''<nowiki>http://images.neopets.com/altador/altadorcup/head_shots/kreludor_5.gif</nowiki>'' or the group picture [http://images.neopets.com/altador/altadorcup/team_full/kreludor.gif]--13:47, 5 Jun 2007 (CDT)

::::We wouldn't be able to add it to the NeoDex without knowing the Neopets proper name, but i can save the image of the new neopet if it's there as you mentioned...which means i haven't checked yet. ;) will be doing that now. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 14:12, 5 Jun 2007 (CDT)

:::::Ok, I see. By the way *point to section below* the pictures of the rank badges go up to 20 as of now ([http://images.neopets.com/altador/altadorcup/badges/level20_150.gif]). Do we need to save them although we don't know the actual ranking titles? --[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 14:26, 5 Jun 2007 (CDT)

<nowiki>*</nowiki>gives you a high five* good work on noticing that. :D Though i'm not sure how the titles are organized. I played 5 winning games of yooyuball, 3 slushie games, and 4 screamers (i'm sure you know the real titles)...but my rank didn't change. I don't think we will need to save all the badge images, but we will (or can at least try) to find all the accompaning rank titles for each badge, and how and when the ranks are received.

Some of those team images may be repeats of last years, but I tried to be exhaustive in that front. The miscellaneous images are just this years (I hope). We have a lot of work to do, this year. :S --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 15:27, 2 Jun 2007 (CDT)

:I think it's important to note the team member headshots (virtupets_3.gif, 4, 5 as an example) aren't replaced with a new image link when a player is replaced. It's given the exact same image link, but a different image. It happened last year with [[Helmo Timm]] and with the new players this year as well (especially the team images...remember, i do still have the old team images ;) ). Mind you the image links are still noteworthy becauses that's where the images are linked, it's just not "safe" to image link the content when referencing something. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:38, 2 Jun 2007 (CDT)

::<nowiki>*</nowiki>sigh* We'll just have to upload them all to the wiki at some point. Oh well. Also, navigations:

:Would be best not to forget the [http://images.neopets.com/altador/altadorcup/signup_full.gif female "Help Me Decide"] quiz giver (shown differently [http://images.neopets.com/altador/altadorcup/signup_part.gif here]), who is quoted saying...<blockquote>''A new recruit, eh?! The rather angry looking Quiggle looks you up and down. She finally addresses you, but that look on her face isn't the smile you were hoping for. "You're an athlete? If you say so." She quickly scratches something down on her clipboard before continuing. "You have two options. If you're having trouble choosing, I can administer the Altador Cup Quiz. All you have to do is answer some questions and I'll attempt to choose the best team for you based on your answers. Or, you can go directly to the Sign-up Station if you've already decided on a team. What'll it be? And hurry up. I don't have all day."''</blockquote>Seeing as the quiz is part of the sign up process, and i don't know much about it (nor is there much on it in the current article), I decided to take it.

'''(results processed)'''

<blockquote>''"Uh huh... uh huh... hrrmmm..." It takes her a while, but the Quiggle finally presents you your results. "Well, it's official. You're pretty strange. But we knew that already, didn't we?" You're not sure why she's so negative all the time, but you are sure it's probably better that you don't ask. "Here's the team the quiz has chosen for you. Don't blame me or anything. I just work here." She hands you a slip of paper which reads:</blockquote>

'''Thank you for taking The Altador Cup Quiz of Persuasion.'''

Your recommended team is:

''(random team and join button)''

If you have any issues with these results, please fill out form 67R-Z, have it stamped by 7 of the Altador Cup committee members, place it in a manila envelope along with 4 forms of identification, place 12 stamps in 3 rows of 4 on the upper left portion of the envelope, and drop it in the mail at 7:42 PM NST on Thursday. You will receive an answer in 6 - 8 weeks months.

<blockquote>''"You don't have to sign up for this team, but the quiz is quite accurate, so you should think about it. If you want to join a different team, please head to the Sign-up Station to fill out the proper forms." She removes from the clipboard the piece of paper she's been scribbling on this whole time, crumples it up, and tosses it in the rubbish bin. "NEXT!!"''</blockquote>

How this will be added to the article will be decided at a later date. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 16:58, 2 Jun 2007 (CDT)

:That really should be in the article! --[[User:Freefalldreams|Freefalldreams]] 12:16, 27 Jul 2007 (UTC)

::When we know how to add it to the article, it shall be done. ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 13:48, 27 Jul 2007 (UTC)

:::I just thought of something...perhaps the quiz merits its own page? I mean, nobody's figured out how to slip it into the Altador Cup page yet, so...worth a though? --[[User:Freefalldreams|Freefalldreams]] 22:13, 25 May 2008 (CDT)

== Splitting of article ==

It looks like this article is getting a little long like the Tale of Woe not so long ago, so it may need to be split into parts as well. This is a little more easier (maybe!?!), because we can make seperate altador cup articles for each year, detailing those events. The main Altador Cup article will stay, and the other articles will be "Altador Cup 2006", "Altador Cup 2007", etc. Sound alright? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 22:27, 3 Jun 2007 (CDT)
:Yup, sounds good to me. --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 09:15, 4 Jun 2007 (CDT)
::I agree as well.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 10:02, 4 Jun 2007 (CDT)
:::And someday "Altador Cup 2008", right? --[[User:Freefalldreams|Freefalldreams]] 19:16, 26 Jul 2007 (UTC)
::::Yes! The time has come! Altador Cup 2008 is here! --[[User:Freefalldreams|Freefalldreams]] 02:00, 25 Jun 2008 (CDT)

==Altador Cup 2009 Rumours==
These were added to the article by [[User:Alexdpny|Alexdpny]] but because they are rumours (I personally have never heard any of these) I feel they belong here for the moment. Perhaps Alexdpny can explain where these rumours come from... --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 23:37, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

*a new game for betting on who will win a match will be playable
*the lost desert team has had some fighting and might become a sakhmet and qasala team seperately
*a lutari island team might come to play.
*the practice team will become the jelly neopets again like in 2006 and even have names
*a neovia team might appear in the games.
*a geraptiku team might appear along with an expansion of geraptiku.
* if one plays on the winning team then they will get to face the neopets team as neopian central neopets for neocash and rare petpets and items.
*a new neopet will deput on the games and is egg be given to the top 10 points all together on all 4 games at the cup.
*a ghost, island, maraqua, pirate, desert, zombie, halloween, and tyrannian yooyu might appear.
*a new color called tiki will premiere that will be associated with geraptiku. It appears to be related to earlier designs of the island color.
*up to 18 or 20 teams will be playable.
*more neopets with the color zombie and tropical will be in the game.
*another new color called mummy will be released at the games and will have a link to qasala and the warriors on the lost desert plot.

== Shootout Showdown ==

Shouldn't Shootout Showdown be added? {{sign|75.24.176.249}}

:Yes, definitely. You are welcome to add it in. :) --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 05:48, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

[[Image:AC 2006 Trophy.gif|right|frame|The famed trophy that gives the Cup its name.]]

The '''Altador Cup''' is a yearly gaming [[plot]] on [[Neopets]] which begins on June 1, and continues until gaming is completed (first year took place between June 1, 2006 and August 4). As a sporting event, sixteen teams from the lands of [[Neopia]] gathered in [[Altador]] to compete in the sport of Yooyuball for the Altador Cup trophy. During the second Altador Cup, the plot lasted from June 1, 2007 to July 9. The third annual Altador Cup commenced on June 12, 2008. This is, so far, the only tournament which hasn't commenced on the usual June 1st date.

==Yooyuball==
[[Image:AC 2006 Referee.gif|right|frame|Yooyuball is strictly regulated.]]
The game played to win the Altador Cup is called '''Yooyuball'''. Gameplay appears to be based on [[Wikipedia:Jai_alai|Jai alai]], where players carry a ball in a sling and charge down the field, trying to throw the ball into the other team's net to score a goal. 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.

*''Normal'' - The most common Yooyu which behaves like a normal ball of play without any extra effects. This Yooyu was added during the second Altador Cup.
*''Fire'' - A very fast Yooyu, it moves in a straight line and must be transferred very quickly between team-mates, because keeping it too long could result in burns.
*''Snow'' - Much slower than the Normal Yooyu, the Snow Yooyu also moves in a straight line. It freezes the muscles of those playing with it, making game play quite slow.
*''[[Mutant]]'' - Leading to an extremely unpredictable game, the Mutant Yooyu will move in numerous, random patterns, such as beginning to curve at different points in the throw, changing speed, and only rarely shooting in a straight line.
*''[[Faerie#Colour|Faerie]]'' - Floating lightly through the air, the Faerie Yooyu curves in flight and leaves players wondering when it will drop down low enough for them to capture and pass it.
*''[[Darigan]]'' - A misbehaving Yooyu which flies in a different direction the player holding it is facing, the Darigan Yooyu's flight can be predicted based on where a player is facing in the area. This Yooyu was added in the 2007 games.
*''[[Clockwork]]'' - The Clockwork Yooyu is a wind-up robotic toy that will begin to glow red and explode between 1 - 15 seconds if it isn't put into a goal. This Yooyu was added in the 2007 games.

Yooyuball plays as a [[Wikipedia:Adobe Flash|flash]] game, where users can play with use of the mouse and keyboard. Before each game of Yooyuball begins, users choose the formation they want their players to stand in and select which direction they would like to move the ball down the field. Using the mouse, users point at the player they want to move around, which will select the player. The selected player can be guided around the field using the mouse. When a player has possession of the ball, clicking the left mouse button throws the ball.

If a user wanted to deselect a player, they pressed the space bar or the ''S'' key. When none of the players were selected, they can clicked anywhere on the field to move the closest player to the position they clicked on. To toggle between players, users press the left and right arrow keys (or the ''A'' and ''D'' keys). Users can activate a player when toggling between them by pressing the space bar. Pressing the Shift key to moves players back to their starting positions.

A new rule was added on June 24, 2006, which would make the Yooyu jump from a ''Keeper's'' hands if it stayed there longer than 5 seconds. It is believed this was implemented because too many users were scoring a single goal then letting the ''Keeper'' hold onto the ball for the remainder of play, scoring an automatic win.

Between each goal, a cutscene is played, showing either the goal, the crowd, or - added in 2007 - the Yooyuball selection machines beneath the arena. While the cutscene is playing, game time is still used up, but a 'continue' button appears after a short delay allowing the user to skip most of the animation. An animation accompanies the introduction of each Yooyu to the field, also, but this can be skipped using the space bar.

===The Committee===
[[Image:AC 2007 committee.gif|right|frame|The Committee in 2007.]]
The Altador Cup Committee is a group of officials who carefully examine each play, making sure the rules of Yooyuball are followed. Players or fans who feel something needs to be reviewed can file a petition, and the committee will decide whether or not to rule on the matter. Once both sides of the issue are heard, the committee gathers in its private chambers to discuss the situation and vote on an appropriate course of action. Some feel they are too strict, but it's the committee's decisions which maintain the integrity of the game, and the committee members' actions are always motivated by a desire to protect the game's best interests.

[[Image:AC 2006 Committee.gif|left|frame|and in 2006...]]
It was the Committee which sent invitations to the worlds of Neopia in 2006, asking to participate in the first Altador Cup tournament in 1000 years. It's also assumed the Committee is a front for the actions taken by [[The Neopets Team]], who make sure the game is fair and balanced for all users.

The Altador Cup Tournament consists of sixteen teams representing the lands of Neopia. In total from previous years, eighteen worlds have participated, each sending a team to compete in the Colosseum in Altador. Users could only support one team at a time, and could only switch to another between rounds (only in the 2006 games). In 2007, the Kreludor team was replaced with Shenkuu. Why this was done was released in a statement by [[Derlyn Fonnet]], explaining that the 'muscle and bone' density of the Kreludans was, due to a malfunctioning gravity generator, too low to safely play on Neopia. To the happiness of many fans, Kreludor returned for the 2008 tournament. However, Kiko Lake could not participate because of a travel issue. Recently, the discovery of 2009's Altador Cup logo has shown that it will be [[Brightvale]] that will not participate.

Only sixteen teams were available for users to play, but a 17th team came from [[Jelly World]], which has participated as the practice team for all three years. 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]].

==Slushie Slinger==
[[Image:Ctp 863.gif|left|frame|Slushie Slinger featured as an alternative to Yooyuball matches.]]

Added in the 2007 games, '''Slushie Slinger''' is an game users could play for lower points besides playing Yooyuball. 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 [[slushie]]s while Yooyuball games play. 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 if the customers reach the end of the counter.
 

==Make Some Noise==
[[Image:Ctp 862.gif|right|frame|A further alternative to normal game play, this game featured recurring character the [[Techo Fanatic]].]]

Added in the 2007 games, '''Make Some Noise''' is an game users could play for lower points besides playing Yooyuball. 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 teams shirt, and cheering for them.
 

==Plot participation==
:''Main Articles: [[Altador Cup 2006]], [[Altador Cup 2007]], [[Altador Cup 2008]], [[Altador Cup 2009]]''

Unlike regular plots where the plot was written by The Neopets Team, the plot was directed by the collective users on Neopets, and how well they played together in each of their selected teams. A plot summary was written after play to act out who won in each cause. Also, each year had their own methods of participation, and how the plot would progress.

==Staff Tournament==
As another part of the Altador Cup, The Neopets Team participates in a tournament play of their own. They did this in 2006, but they did not do this in 2007 or 2008.

Along with the release of the Altador Cup on June 1, 2006, a new [[Shop]] called [[Altador Cup Souvenirs]] opened, which sold sports team merchandise for each of the teams playing. Rather than ''Altador Cup Tournament'' items have a single use, they can be used for many different things. Hands and bottles are used as toys, pennants can be placed in [[Neohome]]s, and the jerseys are [[Clothes]].
 

==Trivia==
*The first Altador Cup appeared to coincide with dates and times of the [[Wikipedia:FIFA World Cup|FIFA World Cup]] in Germany [[Wikipedia:2006 FIFA World Cup|of 2006]], and the golden orb, seen in the preview trailer, of the trophy bore a remarkable resemblance to the actual World Cup.
*Noted advertisements shown in [[Wikipedia:North America|North America]] within the 2006 tournament were a new [[Wikipedia:Dragon Ball Z|Dragon Ball Z]] game being released in July 2006 and a new [[Wikipedia:Garfield|Garfield]] movie. For 2007, [[Wikipedia:Evan Almighty|Evan Almighty]] was advertised.
*During Yooyuball game play when the [[Ixi]] and [[Grarrl]] [[Wikipedia:News presenter|news presenters]] are making their remarks about the teams, were a user to refrain from clicking the "continue" button, they would begin to ask the user to carry on, mention they see [[Tarla]] and need to hurry and catch her or reminding the user that sitting and watching them does not earn them points. A [[Spyder]] may also come down from the ceiling.
