At the conclusion of every round, each team in a bracket will be rewarded points based on how they played in comparison to the other teams in their bracket. With each subsequent round, the point values increase, allowing teams that may have gotten off to a rocky start to catch up toward the end. After all five rounds have been played, the teams. points will be tallied up and (if necessary) any ties will be broken. The following Monday, the results will be revealed and the champions will be named!

==Story==
===Round One===
*'''Alabriss Brakcet'''
The Alabriss Bracket was filled with some interesting teams, last years top6. With powerhouses like [[Darigan Citadel]], [[Lost Desert]] and [[Kreludor]]. Teams that missed the title last year by an inch like [[Meridell]] and [[Mystery Island]] and a team that hasn't achieved very much yet: [[Kiko Lake]]. Team Kreludor suprised in their first matches, everyone expected that Derlyn Fonnets team would suffer under the Winners Curse after becoming Champion last year, but they were able to earn a hard-foughted victory against Meridell and later against Lost Desert. Lost Desert was the team that dissapointed this round, not being able to jump along on the level of the other two powerhouses. Mystery Island was constanantly swept by the rest, while Kiko Lake suprisingly did good efforts in winning. But in the end it was Layton Vickles' Darigan Citadel that really convinced and took the 1st place in the Alabriss Bracket.

*'''Minitheus Brakcet'''
The Minitheus Bracket was compilled of the Teams from last years 7th till 12th place. These were [[Krawk Island]], the old powerhouse. Middle-class teams like [[Tyrannia]], [[Maraqua]] and [[Haunted Woods]]. And lesser teams like [[Brightvale]] and [[Terror Mountain]]. The Minitheus bracket was hard to figure out who would win. Completely unexpected, Tyrannia stood up as a major powerhouse, sweeping every single team in their bracket. Leaving the first place occupied since the first match. Not so very unexpected was the second place of Krawk Island and the third of Maraqua. In a short battle, Brightvale was able to capture the 4th place at the expense of Haunted Woods, who started off badly. Finally Terror Mountain dropped to be the last of the bracket.

*'''Vaeolus Brakcet'''
The final bracket exists from teams who ended at the bottom of last years Altador Cup. These teams were [[Altador]], [[Faerieland]], [[Moltara]], [[Shenkuu]], the winner of two years ago: [[Virtupets]] and the winner of Altador Cup III: [[Roo Island]]. The expectations were sky high for Roo Island that they would recover this year from their worst ranking ever. The same counted for Shenkuu, a team that once dominated the tournament but nowadays plays very poorely. As for Altador, Moltara and Faerieland, there were no expectations. They did not perform any different last year than the years before. Virtupets always surprises. As soon as the matches started everyone was stumbled by Altadors performances, they swept every team easily and with great numbers, even Roo Island! Beyond from that everything else went completely normal. Thus Altador won the bracket, leaving Roo Island 2nd, Shenkuu became 3rd, Virtupets 4th, and Faerieland and Moltara ended the lines, respectively 5th and 6th.

===Round Two===
*'''Alabriss Bracket'''
The Alabriss Bracket of round two was a fierce one. Having Tyrannia, Krawk Island, Darigan Citadel and Kreludor. But also bottom line teams Shenkuu and Virtupets. The most intersting the follow was wether Tyrannia would be able to sweep Darigan Citadel and Kreludor as well. And what sort of resistance they could offer against the newly risen Tyrannian force. The answer was nothing. Loryche's team was unbeatable again, winning with big numbers again. Suprisingly, Krawk Island also bested Darigan Citadel and Kreludor. Leaving those two on respectively place 3 and 4 in the Alabriss Bracket. Virtupets and Shenkuu didn't have much to offer else then a fight to decide who wouldn't became last. That fight was lost by Virtupets.

*'''Minitheus Bracket'''
The teams of the Minitheus Bracket are Altador, Roo Island, Maraqua, Terror Mountain, Mystery Island and Lost Desert. For Altador there was no new big opponent in which they could test their strength. Nonetheless they still kept on sweeping teams and making themself a big favorite for the Cup and dared challenger of Tyrannia. Roo Island achieved the 2nd place in the bracket, failing it to the mighty Altadorian Team. Maraqua became 3rd. Terror Mountain made a jump, after becoming 6th in Round One, they made it to the 4th place this Round, besting Lost Desert and Mystery Island. Two teams who perform very much under their average.

*'''Vaeolus Bracket'''
The Vaeolus bracket was excellent opportunity for Team Meridell to catch some points, at the absence of traditional powerhouses. Because their opponents weren't very scary, besides from Haunted Woods ofcourse. Teams like Brightvale, Kiko Lake, Faerieland and Moltara. Meridell earned victory every time, however, they underestimated Haunted Woods gravely, due to this, Krell Vitor's team was able to ensure some nice victories and finishing just behind Meridell after having a rough start. Brightvale made it to the 3rd place and the Kiko's 4th again. Moltara was working very hard again to increase their reputation as the worst team ever whil Faerieland ends 5th.
