Plot participation

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, but it's uncertain if this will be done in 2007.

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 were used as toys, pennants could be placed in Neohomes, and the jerseys acted as Clothes.
Trivia
- The first Altador Cup appeared to coincide with dates and times of the FIFA World Cup in Germany of 2006, and if the golden orb seen in the preview trailer bore a remarkable resemblance to the actual World Cup.
- Noted advertisements shown in North America within the 2006 tournament were a new Dragon Ball Z game being released in July 2006 and a new Garfield movie. For 2007, Evan Almighty was advertised.
- During Yooyuball game play when the Ixi and Grarrl newscasters are making their remarks, were a user refrains from clicking the "continue" button they would begin to ask the user to carry on, mention they see Tarla and need to hurry and catch her or reminding the user that sitting and watching them does not earn them points. A Spyder may also come down from the ceiling.
