The '''seventh instalment''' of the [[Altador Cup]] competition will be played in the summer of 2012. On the 15 May, the countdown to the sign-ups process began, with information on two teams being released per day. Sign ups will open midday on 25 May. 

==Team biographies==

Leading up to the Cup, [[The Neopets Team]] slowly released press information on each team, two teams per day:

*[[Team Faerieland]]
*:'''Getting Down To Earth'''
*:After a biting remark from [[Tandrak Shaye]], the Faerieland team decided to celebrate their [[The Faeries' Ruin|status as an earthbound land]] � with a road trip! As of this report, they have been travelling for six months, seen seven lands, and eaten an astonishing quantity of Chocolate Cloud Cookies. "I never knew the [[Lost Desert]] had so many pyramids," [[Valtonous Rea]] tells us. Team captain [[Kakoni Worrill]] promises that Faerieland has been training while on the road. 
*[[Team Kiko Lake]]
*:'''[[Kiko]]s Never Get Cold Feet'''
*:How's Kiko Lake these days? Sunny and warm, [["Poke" Cellers]] assures us with an enthusiastic bounce. The Kiko Lake team has taken advantage of the weather with a rummage sale this weekend. They're hoping to raise enough [[Neopoints]] for new equipment and transportation to the Cup. "We'll be lucky if the weather holds," the team captain adds, glancing at the puffy white clouds overhead. "We'd like to get in some field practice this week too." 
*[[Team Mystery Island]]
*:'''The Law Of The Jungle'''
*:Because Mystery Island hasn't had a shakeup to their team since Year 10, it came as something of a surprise to hear rumours of a retirement. There's plenty of great talent looking to move up from the jungle Yooyuball leagues, but when asked who on the Mystery Island team was thinking of retiring, team captain [[Volgoth]] just grunted and said, "Not now." When reporters pushed for a firm answer, Volgoth growled... and the question was dropped. 
*[[Team Shenkuu]]
*:'''Victory: Our Cup Of Tea'''
*:Tea ceremonies or Yooyuball practice? "Why not both," [[Mirsha Grelinek]] says with a smile. She and [[Antola Maeir]] have extensive duties at the [[Lunar Temple]], but that hasn't cut into their practice time. "We just schedule practice around the tea," Mirsha continues, smoothing the front of her kimono. "Finding a balance is important; we follow a philosophy of moderation to help achieve inner peace. Uh, we still want to win this year, of course."
*[[Team Terror Mountain]]
*:'''Looking For A Few Good Fans'''
*:Last year, Terror Mountain went into the Cup with fewer supporters than ever before, but still managed to climb in the rankings to eighth place, their highest yet. This year, they're looking to continue the trend. "We still don't have the numbers that some of the other teams do," team captain [[Prytariel]] admits, "but those who do come with us each year are very loyal. It's a good feeling, knowing they're as committed as we are."
*[[Team Tyrannia]]
*:'''Fighting Like Gruslens And Yooyus'''
*:Practice has been a little distracted lately � [[Wila Benne]] found a whole litter of baby [[Gruslen]]s abandoned in the bleachers! [[Loryche]] was all for handing them off to the [[PPL]], but [[Harlis Neyhbol]] insisted that the team could handle raising them. Gruslen-proofing Tyrannian homes doesn't take much work (stone furniture holds up to claws rather well), but Harlis didn't account for the Gruslens chasing the [[Yooyu]]s around the field. Oops.
*[[Team Altador]]
*:'''Something New Under The Sun'''
*:Some have said that if Altador invented the game of Yooyuball, surely [[Altador]] ought to be good at playing. Yet the team has never made it higher than thirteenth place. How to explain this odd phenomenon? "Never mind explaining it," team captain [["Trapper" Remis]] says grimly. "We've made a few... changes this year. Altador is ready to show our true colours. The new tournament format will help; it's more like the ancient rules we're used to."
*[[Team Kreludor]]
*:'''The Sky's The Limit'''
*:After making a dramatic run to a third place finish in last year's Cup, [[Kreludor]] is favoured for a top position this year, but [[Coco Metrone]] recently reported taking a minor injury on the practice field last month. She's undergoing the best physical therapy the Grundo moon can provide, but will she be 100% in time for the first game? Teammate [[Zenor Kevix]] says yes. "Coco's working really hard. We all are. We won't disappoint our fans."
