Altador Cup II

Information
The second Altador Cup was held on the year of 2007 after the new annual event of Neopia was introduced. This year's competition received major changes due to the lack of efficiency and efficacy of the tournament mechanics in the preceding year. This year also introduced two more events known as "side-events" for the supporters to further utilize the teams' resources and manpower all throughout the course of the Cup. Another major change was the tournament format which was divided into two phases; double round robin where teams compete with one another for two rounds and the finals where the teams are divided into four brackets, also a new system introduced in the said event. Shenkuu, a newly-found Neopian Land, also sent delegates which added the elimination of a team to join for the said year.

Tournament Format
All 16 (sixteen) participating teams of the Altador Cup underwent two phases of the competition. This change eliminated the perk of the supporters to be able to change teams every round:
 * Double Round Robin: The double round robin phase of the tournament was introduced for all the participating teams to be able to compete against each other in two rounds, all arrayed in a schedule released during the course of the tournament. In this phase, teams must work on their final standings through earning points in the three events, thus allowing the ranking system to be based upon the brackets to be assigned to every team. No team is eliminated and the competition will go on no matter what the results are.
 * Finals: The finals was introduced alongside the bracketing system, a way of dividing the participating teams into four, respective brackets each containing four teams based their standings in the double round robin phase of the competition. After the brackets have been assigned, the highest team per bracket will be competing against the lowest team and the two middle teams will be competing against each other as well. The winning teams will be further competing against each other for the best, relative place of the bracket while the losing teams compete to avoid the worst, relative place of the bracket. The Final standings will then be determined based on the actual results per match.

Team: Did Not Participate
The concept of one team unable to participate was also introduced during this Cup after the newly-discovered land of Shenkuu also decided to send delegates for the competition. For this year, Kreludor was forced to eject participation after their playing field's gravity field stopped for them not to practice for the competition.

New Events
The new events of this year's Altador Cup were also added; Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise. Yooyuball, as the main event of the Cup is still weighted higher than the two side-games or side-events combined, point-wise. Points are earned per win and draw for the standings to take shape before the brackets are assigned for the Finals.
