	With the return of Altador Cup in 2007, the previous years finalists (the [[Haunted Woods]] and [[Darigan Citadel]]) returned with key changes to their rosters, which they felt would vault them into being odds-on favourites to take the Cup. Darigan benched goalkeeper [[Mungo Lifler]] and brought in [[Reshar Collifey]], while the Haunted Woods hired defender [[Autrey Fulse]]. Whether these changes would give the teams the edge they needed or backfire horribly would remain to be seen.

Darigan benched goalkeeper [[Mungo Lifler]] and brought in [[Reshar Collifey]], while the Haunted Woods hired defender [[Autrey Fulse]]. Whether these changes would give the teams the edge they needed or backfire horribly would remain to be seen.

	Changes occurred in the line ups of many of the other teams, also, due to free-agent signings and the arrival of new rookies. An entirely new Yooyuball team, from [[Shenkuu]], participated for the first time in 2007. The sport itself underwent some alterations, with three new kinds of Yooyuball to be brought into play for the first time - Normal, Clockwork, and Darigan - to make games more varied.

	~~Furthermore, two additional ways for users to aid their team were added, ''Make Some Noise'' and ''Slushie Slinger'', new to this years competition~~.

	[[Kreludor]]'s team, conspicuous by its absence, sent out a press release on the 8 June justifying why they could not compete this year. [[Derlyn Fonnet]] dispelled the rumours surrounding their mysterious non-involvement, citing an incorrectly set gravity control of their training ground. The insufficient bone and muscle density would have proved a health and safety problem were the team to play on Neopia's greater gravity, although whether this was an innocent fault or an act of vandalism to sabotage the team's chances could not be determined.

	Unlike many plots, where the course of the story is ~~written and dictated~~ by The Neopets Team, ~~the~~ Altador Cup is directed by the participation of collective users on Neopets ~~- in particular~~, ~~of their performance~~ against rival teams.		Unlike many plots, where the course of the story is directed by [[The Neopets Team]], Altador Cup 2007 was directed by the participation of collective users on Neopets, and how well they performed against rival teams. Users could select which team to join on their own, but also had the option to be placed on a team via a quiz which tested what their personality was like. Unlike the previous year, users could not change teams once gaming began. Team sign up occurred between June 1 - 4, with matches beginning on the 5th. Users were not allowe to sign up on a [[Multiple Accounts\|side account]], and if they were discovered had their account disabled or [[Frozen]].

Unlike the previous year, users could not change teams once gaming began. The sign up time occurred between June 1 - 4, with matches began on the 5th. The score users contributed was calculated by their win/loss/tie record, the number of goals scored each game, and a average based on team membership (so a team with more users participating wouldn't have an advantage over a team with fewer players).		The score users contributed was calculated by their win/loss/tie record, the number of goals scored each game, and a average based on team membership (so a team with more users participating wouldn't have an advantage over a team with fewer players). It a common misconception having a loss gave negative points towards a user's score, when in truth every completed game raised the users score higher, although this did not stop some users who wanted a certain team to win took advantage of the system as well, by signing up for an opposing team and purposefully lose in order to try and lower the chance of them winning. Supposedly, new scoring mechanisms in place since the previous year's Altador Cup stopped the practice. Besides playing Yooyuball, users also had the option of playing '''Slushie Slinger''' and '''Make Some Noise''' to contribute to their score, and to the individual slushie and noise making competitions. While these games did give the user points, the most points to be given were those for playing a Yooyuball match, and only the Yooyuball scores allowed the teams to advnce through the tournament.

Supposedly, new scoring mechanisms in place in this cup stopped the practice that occurred during the [[Altador Cup 2006\|first Altador Cup]], where someone would sign up for a team on their side accounts and not play so as to reduce their overall score.		Tournament play was ''double round robin'', which meant teams played every other team twice. During the round robin phase, each team was given a chance to prove itself by scoring the most points overall in each gaming method. At the conclusion of the double round robin phase, the four best performing teams advanced to the final matches which determineed who won the Altador Cup. The top two teams met in a final showdown for first place, and the teams which ranked third and fourth in the double round robin phase fought for third place.

	~~One is not allowed to sign up for the Altador Cup on a side account.~~

	Besides playing Yooyuball, users also had the option of playing '''Slushie Slinger''' and '''Make Some Noise''' to contribute to their score. While these games did give the user points, the most points to be given were those for playing a Yooyuball match.
