The '''Altador Cup''' is a yearly gaming [[plot]] on [[Neopets]] which begins on June 1, and continues until the championship is finished. 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 inaugural Altador Cup, the tournament took place between June 1, 2006 and August 4. 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 and ended on July 17. The fourth annual Altador Cup commenced on June 2, 2009, and ended on July 5th, 2009.
The '''Altador Cup''' is a yearly sporting [[event]] that takes place at the [[Colosseum]] during the month of June.  During the event, eighteen teams, each one representing a different [[Neopia]]n land, compete in the sport of [[Yooyuball]]. Unlike [[plot|other events]] on [[Neopets|the website]], the outcome of the Altador Cup is not pre-planed by [[TNT]] writers. Instead, the winning team is determined entirely by user participation.

==Yooyuball==
===Jelly World Practice Team===
[[Image:AC 2006 Referee.gif|right|frame|Yooyuball is strictly regulated.]]
During the practice days leading up to the tournament, users can play against the [[Jelly World Practice Team|practice team]].  The practice team can also be played on bye days during the tournament. The practice team hails from [[Jelly World]] and consists entirely of [[Jelly (colour)|Jelly]] [[Chia]]s. Despite being a fully capable Yooyuball team, the Jelly World practice team has never participated in an Altador Cup tournament.  This is mostly likely due to the fact that there is [[Wikipedia:Running gag|running gag]] on the Neopets website that Jelly World does not exist.  Despite this, the practice team's goalie does appear in the game [[Shootout Showdown]].
The game played to win the Altador Cup is called '''Yooyuball'''. Gameplay appears to be based on [[Wikipedia:Jai_alai|Jai alai]] and lacrosse, 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. This Yooyu was added in the 2007 games.
==User Participation==
*''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.
In order to participate in the Altador Cup, each user must first pick a team to support.  In general, users are not allowed to switch teams after they have chosen one. After choosing a team, users can earn victory points for their team by playing any of the four [[Wikipedia:Adobe Flash|flash]] [[Games Room|games]] listed below and getting at least the minimum score required for the game. These four games are only available during the Altador Cup.
*''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.

|style="padding:10px;"|'''[[Yooyuball]]'''<br>
*Yooyuball is the main draw of the Altador Cup.  In this sport, two teams, each containing five players, play against each other. The object of the game is to score goals by getting a [[Yooyu]], which serves as the game's ball, into the opponent's net. Yooyuball players use specially designed slings to catch, carry, and pass Yooyus.<br>
'''Minimum Score''': Win / Draw
|-
|style="padding:10px;"|'''[[Slushie Slinger]]'''<br>
*Slushie Slinger was added to the Altador Cup in 2007. In this game, the player takes on the role of a [[Red]] [[Tuskaninny]] [[Slushie Slinger Waitress|waitress]] as she frantically serves [[slushie]]s to impatient, thirsty Yooyuball fans.  The gameplay of Slushie Slinger was inspired by that of the 1983 arcade game [[Wikipedia:Tapper|Tapper]].<br>
'''Minimum Score''': 270 points
|-
|style="padding:10px;"|'''[[Make Some Noise]]'''<br>
*Make Some Noise was also added to the Altador Cup in 2007. In this game, the player takes on the role of the [[Techo Fanatic]] as he cheers on the Yooyuball players at the [[Colosseum]].<br>
'''Minimum Score''': 3,000 points
|-
|style="padding:10px;"|'''[[Shootout Showdown]]'''<br>
*Shootout Showdown was added to the Altador Cup in 2009. In this game, players must score five goals against the practice team's goalkeeper within a sixty second time limit.<br>
'''Minimum Score''': 35 points
|}


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.
===Altador Cup Rank===
A rank system was introduced to the tournament during [[Altador Cup II]].  Each time a user submits a score for one of the four exclusive Altador Cup games, they earn points toward their next Altador cup rank.  The number of points awarded differs for each game: 
 
{|class="wikitable" align=center style="text-align:center; margin:0 auto;"
|-
||'''Yooyuball win'''||1 point awarded
|-
||'''Yooyuball draw'''||1/3 point awarded
|-
||'''Slushie Slinger'''||1/2 point awarded
|-
||'''Make Some Noise'''||1/12 point awarded
|-
||'''Shootout Showdown'''||1/12 point awarded
|-
|}


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===
Only scores that meet the minimum requirements listed above count toward increasing Altador Cup Rank. There are 21 different ranks in all:
[[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...]]
{|style="margin:0 auto;"
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). After Shenkuu was disovered in later 2006, Shenkuu's team replaced Kreludor's. 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, because apparently, [[King Hagan]] states that it would be difficult to govern the country with the Altador Cup going on.


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]].

So far [[Lutari Island]] has not participated in any of the Altador Cups, though two [[Lutari]] have. Neopets has yet to offer any explanation for why Lutari Island does not participate.

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.

[[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.

Since [[Altador Cup III]], users have been able to unlock the following [[avatar]] by increasing their Altador Cup rank to Rank 1:


==Shootout Showdown==
Shootout Showdown is a new game in the [[Altador Cup IV|2009 games]]. You take control of a Yooyuball player, trying to score goals against the opponents Keeper. The aim is to score 5 goals as quickly as possible, within 60 seconds, without missing or letting the keeper save your shots.

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, and only again in 2010.

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]].
