Tournament play was single-elimination, which meant the team which won a match moved on to the next round while the team that lost was eliminated from play. Sixteen teams were randomly seeded and matched up, and after the eight losing teams were eliminated the eight winning teams were again randomly matched up and moved on to the quarter-finals. In the quarter-finals, four more teams were eliminated while the remaining four headed to the semifinals. Semifinals determined which two teams fought in the final match. | Tournament play was single-elimination, which meant the team which won a match moved on to the next round while the team that lost was eliminated from play.

This raised suspiscion that the Altador Cup was rigged, causing outcry among users. It was also speculated the Haunted Woods were rigged to win, as a ways to promote the next plot [[The Tale of Woe]]. Both issues were later brought up in the [[Neopian Times]] editorial, and explained as nothing more than a coincedence, and it was the users who dictated which teams won. | *In a strange coincedence, the teams which won the first round of play were all on the right side of the [[:Image:AC 2006 Trophy.gif|Altador Cup logo]] (each colour represented one of the teams).
