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.

==Games==
==User Participation==
Users can participate in the Altador Cup by signing up for a team and then playing any of the four [[Games Room|games]].  Every time a player submits a score for one of these games, they earn victory points for their team.
In order to participate in the Altador Cup, each user must first pick a team to support.  In general, users are not allowed to switch teams after they have chosen one.  After choosing a team, users can earn victory points for their team by playing any of the following four [[Wikipedia:Adobe Flash|flash]] [[Games Room|games]]:


===Yooyuball===
{{main|Yooyuball}}
Yooyuball is the main draw of the Altador Cup.  In this sport, two teams, each containing five players, play against each other. The object of the game is to score goals by getting a [[Yooyu]], which serves as the game's ball, into the opponent's net. Yooyuball players use specially designed slings to catch, carry, and pass Yooyus.


===Slushie Slinger===

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 are used as toys, pennants can be placed in [[Neohome]]s, and the jerseys are [[Clothes]].
