:''This article is about the plot details of the Altador Cup in 2007. For information about Yooyuball, see [[Altador Cup]].''
 
'''Altador Cup 2007''' was a gaming [[plot]] which began on June 1, 2006, and was the second installation of the [[Altador Cup]].
 
==Plot summary==
[[Image:Shenkuu team.gif|right]]
 
With the return of Altador Cup in 2007, the previous years finalists (the [[Haunted Woods]] and [[Darigan Citadel]] have returned with key changes to their rosters, which they feel will vault them into being odds-on favourites to take the Cup. Darigan benched goalkeeper [[Mungo Lifler]] and brought in [[Reshar Collifey]], while the Haunted Woods hirded defender [[Autry Fulse]]. That either could give the edge for each team to reach the top or backfire would be seen.
 
Those weren't the only changes, as there were also changes to other teams rosters, due to free-agent signings and the arrival of new rookies. Also, the new Yooyuball team of [[Shenkuu]] participated in the tournament, apparently replacing [[Kreludor]]. The sport itself underwent changes as well, with three new kinds of Yooyuball to be brought into play for the first time (Normal, Clockwork, and Darigan).
 
[[Image:AC Plot 2007 02.gif|left]]The conspicuous absence of Kreludor in this years tournament left many former supporters wondering what happened to their favourite team. On June 8, 2007, [[Derlyn Fonnet]] released a statement on behalf of Team Kreludor:
 
<blockquote>''As you may have noticed by now, Team Kreludor is not one of the participants in this year's Altador Cup. This is due to a malfunction with our training centre's gravity control that went unnoticed; it seems that we have spent the better part of this past year training in gravity that is weaker than that of Neopia. For this reason, it would not be safe for us to compete, due to insufficient bone and muscle density. Rest assured that the problem has been fixed. It is not known, however, whether the incident was a case of simple mechanical failure or the result of sabotage by disgruntled factions here on Kreludor.<br><br>We will continue our training in hopes of returning to form next year, but I'm afraid it would be impossible for us to participate in this year's tournament. We'd like to thank everyone who has supported us in the past and all of our fans both on Kreludor and in Neopia. Thank you.''</blockquote>
 
==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 collectively played together in each other their selected teams. Users could select their team on their own, but also had the option to be placed on a team via a quiz which tested what their personality was like. Unlike the previous year, users could not reselect teams once gaming began. Users could sign up between June 1 - 4, and matches began on the 5th. The score users contributed was calculated by their win/loss/tie record, the number of goals scored each game, and a average based on team membership (so a team with more users participating wouldn't have an advantage over a team with fewer players).
 
It a common misconception having a loss counted for a users score would give negative points towards a user's score, when in truth every completed game raised the users score higher. Some users who wanted a certain team to win took advantage of the system as well, by signing up for an opposing team and purposefully lose in order to try and lower the chance of them winning.
 
Besides playing Yooyuball, users also had the option of playing '''Slushie Slinger''' and '''Make Some Noise''' to contribute to their score. While these games did give the user points, the most points to be given were those for playing Yooyuball.
 
Tournament play was double round robin, which meant teams played every other team twice. During the round robin phase, each team was given a chance to prove itself by scoring the most overall. At the conclusion of the double round robin phase, the four best-performing teams will advance to the final matches that will determine who will reign supreme in this year's Altador Cup. The top two teams will meet in a final showdown for first place, and the teams that ranked third and fourth in the double round robin phase will battle for third place.
 
==Match Schedule==
''Team'' means they won.''Team vs Team'' means a draw.

==Prizes==
Upon joining one of the participating teams, the user automatically received an ''Altador Cup Team Background'' of the team they joined, which they could use for [[Neopet Customisation]]. It's also believe users will receive the ''Altador Cup'' [[Site Theme]] as well as an [[avatar]] for participating. That it will be the old ones are new are not known yet.
