Altador Cup III

Altador Cup 2008 is the third annual Altador Cup Tournament. It is a flash game-centered plot set to begin on June 12, 2008. The two previous tournaments started earlier in June and the delay in releasing the 2008 Cup caused some confusion on the Neopets boards.

In the New Features for June 7th/8th, The Neopets Team released information regarding the beginning of the upcoming tournament. The words "la, la, la... oh do you want to know about the Altador Cup?" were used to link players to an advertisement for the upcoming event. Appearing in the advertisement were the infamous blaring crowd, as well as four hilighted fans, a Usul, Aisha, Yurble and Skeith who were cheering and shouting. At the end, a fire Yooyu flew through the trailer and the date 06.12.08 was displayed.

Althought TNT hasn't confirmed anything other than the starting date of the Cup, the staff of the Neopets help site Jellyneo found evidence that the Kiko Lake team would not be participating in the 2008 tournament. They discovered an image of the updated chatboard logo, which shows the colors of the teams participating. The Kiko Lake colours of brown, green and black were missing, replaced with the orange and purple colours of the Kreludor Team. Moreover, speculation has arisen that Kiko Lake has withdrawn themselves, or as with Kreludor in the 2007 Cup, a practice-related incident has occurred. This speculation remains unverified.

In the previous year, the flash games Make Some Noise and Slushie Slinger were added for those users who wanted a break from or were not good at playing Yooyuball. It is believed that these games will again be part of the Cup.
