The '''Altador Cup''' is a yearly sporting event that takes place at the [[Colosseum]] during the month of June. During the event, eighteen teams, each one representing a different [[Neopia]]n land, compete in the sport of [[Yooyuball]]. Unlike other events on the [[Neopets.com|Neopets website]], the outcome of the Altador Cup is not pre-planed by [[TNT]] writers. Instead, the winning team is determined entirely by user participation. | The '''Altador Cup''' is a yearly sporting event that takes place at the [[Colosseum]] during the month of June.

===Jelly World Practice Team=== | |||
During the practice days leading up to the tournament, users can play against the [[Jelly World Practice Team|practice team]]. The practice team can also be played on bye days during the tournament. The practice team hails from [[Jelly World]] and consists entirely of [[Jelly (colour)|Jelly]] [[Chia]]s. Despite being a fully capable Yooyuball team, the Jelly World practice team has never participated in an Altador Cup tournament. This is mostly likely due to the fact that there is [[Wikipedia:Running gag|running gag]] on the Neopets website that Jelly World does not exist. Despite this, the practice team's goalie does appear in the game [[Shootout Showdown]]. | |||

*Because there used to be 17 possible Altador Cup teams, and only 16 spots available for participating, every year, TNT had to choose one team to not participate, and choose a clever reason for it. The addition of Moltara City in 2010 made for an even total of 18 and thus no team was left out on the sidelines. | *Because there used to be 17 possible Altador Cup teams, and only 16 spots available for participating, every year, TNT had to choose one team to not participate, and choose a clever reason for it.
