Altador Cup

The Altador Cup was announced by Neopets on May 31, 2006, to commence one the June 2, 2006. It is a sporting event with teams from sixteen Neopian worlds participating.

The game played to win the Cup is called Yooyuball. The gameplay appears to be based on Jai alai. The ball is actually a rolled up petpet called a Yooyu, and comes in several different varieties: fire, snow, Mutant and Faerie.

The role of the user and the system of play is still unclear. It is believed that either players will be supporting (and maybe betting) on their team, or that they will be be playing as part of their team in a localised competition rather than a community-wide competition. Users could select the team they wish to join/support and change teams if they wish until June 8, 2006.

Trivia

• The Altador Cup appears to be made to co-incide with the FIFA World Cup in Germany of 2006, and if the golden orb seen in the preview trailer is indeed the "cup" itself, it bares remarkable resemblence to the actual World Cup.
