The famed trophy that gives the Cup its name.

The Altador Cup is a yearly gaming plot on Neopets which begins on June 1, and continues until gaming is completed (first year took place between June 1, 2006 and August 4). As a sporting event, sixteen teams from the lands of Neopia gathered in Altador to compete in the sport of Yooyuball for the Altador Cup trophy.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!! Poop

Pencils are fun but awesome and like totally.

Make Some Noise

A further alternative to normal game play, this game featured recurring character the Techo Fanatc.

Added in the 2007 games, Make Some Noise is an game users could play for lower points besides playing Yooyuball. Assuming the role of the Techo Fanatic, users must cheer as loud as they can by tapping two randomly chosen keys together, raising the sound meter, for as long as they can in 30 seconds, then pressing spacebar before the time runs out. Depending on what team the user joined, the Techo Fanatic would be seen wearing that teams shirt, and cheering for them.

mmmmmmmmmmm

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.
