==Format==
Altador Cup IX saw the return of the bracket system used in [[Altador Cup VIII]].  The tournament consisted of five rounds and each round lasted five days.  Between each round, all teams received a single bye day.  At the beginning of each round, the eighteen participating teams were divided into three bracket.  Each team then played five games against other teams in their bracket.  At the end of the round, teams were ranked within each bracket based on how well they performed against the other teams in their bracket.  Each team was then rewarded points based on their final position within their own bracket.  Later rounds were worth more points than early rounds:
