Altador Cup XIV (2019)

The moment you've all been waiting for is here - Week One of the Altador Cup Staff Tournament is underway! To play, set your TNT fantasy team's roster by selecting two forwards, two defenders, and a goalie. You have until midnight Thursday to choose your team or make roster changes. You'll then be awarded points based upon the play of your staffers. Not sure what to pick, but I mixed Old Favorites with New Ppl Forwards: Senor Malo (ML) & *Gutterfoot (SHK); Defenders: Scrappy (RI) & *Iceman(VP) and Goalie: EhloFroyo (MQ) *New Staff Members There wasn't a STAR Player Option to pick? 😡 An…

Let's show support to our favorite team , the red & gold Ninjas SHENKUU

I know the prize shop is closing 15/5/20 so I thought I'd go along and see if I'd claimed my prize. Unfortunately I can't find the prize shop and any links just go round in circles. Anyone know where I can find it? I have 35000 for the staff tournament which I don't think I've claimed and I've got till midnight to do so. Thanks for any help. Just found from another site that prize shop closed yesterday and was closed from 15/5, not on 15/5. It was closed on 14/5/20. Ah well, there's always next year.

Seen this on the boards! https://images.neopets.com/altador/altadorcup/2019/trophies/krawkisland-2.png Playing with the URL, there's more. So there IS hope for updated trophies yet. ??

It's time. Time for AC XIV! I can't believe it has been a year, since Terror Mountain placed 3rd, on the podium! Still riding that "Rocky Mountain High"! I don't know how we will do this year, but, I look forward seeing old friends, new friends, and even other AC team supporters, posting on this thread, and riding the avalanche called "Altador Cup". We'll laugh, we'll cry, we'll get angry, we'll get happy, and just support whatever AC goals you may have. You may be reaching for All-Star, or just to get one game played. It doesn't matter. Team Terror Mountain is here for you. Please don't be shy to post. We want to hear from you. So, as I always do, here is our pre-AC moti…

First of all, if you'll indulge me for a second.... WOOOHOOOO!!!! TERROR MOUNTAIN FINALLY WON!!!! Sorry, i love this team and have been supporting it for so long. Its just great to see our Prytariel hoisting that trophy high! Anyway.....these are the track records for all the teams (hashtag for the team with the best overall record, asterisk for the worst): Altador: 3-4-7-1 Brightvale: 11-10-6-14 Darigan Citadel: 15-8-10-11 Faerieland: 0-5-4-3* Haunted Woods: 9-6-7-6 Kiko Lake: 5-10-7-12 Krawk Island: 15-19-15-11 Kreludor: 16-17-22-14 Lost Desert: 12-12-13-13 Maraqua: 16-15-16-21 Meridell: 16-12-18-17 Moltara: 3-2-4-5 Mys…

This is in the Neopets "News", for July 4th 2019: If you didn't make the Rank you were aiming for (within reason), or the points you were hoping to get, for the AC Shop, this is your chance to make up some! I'll definitely be out there. For those who are happy the AC is over, and don't want to see another game of Yooyuball, Slushie Slinger, Make Some Noise, or Shoot-Out Show Down, well, at least until, maybe, next year, then: "This topic doesn't exist." EDIT: And, for those that know me from the Altador Cup Terror Mountain topic, here is a "motivational" song:

The AC XIV Staff Tournament team selection has begun, today (8 June 2019)! Like last year, there will be a "Star Player" each round, so don't forget to choose!. You have until 11 June 2019 to pick your team, or pick your team and make changes, but make sure to do so before 11:59:59. May want to take a look at "teams" TDNers picked last year, in hopes they will perform the same, from this TDN link: https://www.tdnforums.com/forum/143-altador-cup-xiii-2018/ I see some new players, and, of course, some seasoned ones. So, who are you going to pick? Here is my (current) team. (Not sure. I may make some changes, depending on who others pick): Forwards: Senormalo…

There's something that I've been wondering for a while now and hope that one of you can answer it. Is there a difference in the species of neopets and how fast they drink their slushies? It seemed to me like a Tonu finished a slushie sooner than a Hissi, no matter which one I served first. Also, what is the highest number of goals you ever made in Yooyuball? Mine's 16.

There was a confluence of a red yooyu ball and the super sized players and I was able to score a goal with my goalie! I got excited because I'd heard this was possible but in 8 years of playing the Altador Cup I'd never been able to do it myself. I'm not going crazy or anything this year (maybe I'll get to rank 5 or 6) but I'm enjoying playing at a relaxed pace. Well...I hope y'all are enjoying this year's competition ?

So, who's joining Maraqua this year? And if you're a repeat player, how long have you been playing for Maraqua? I've only played for Maraqua for 9 ACs, I've only played 9 ACs. lol The first two, and then started back up in 2012 to now. I'm looking forward to playing more YYB and seeing if I can do a 3-peat for scoring. If I can score 17 goals in one game this year, it will be the 3rd AC in a row I've gotten a score of 17, 5th year in total. A real shame our goals don't do much except maybe advance goals per game averages of our front man Elon. lol My ideal goal would be to manage 18 goals in a game. I believe that would be a "Perfect Game" score. But, I doubt I can do …

From time to time, an opponent gets a (VERY annoying) Darigan Yooyu into their own goal. Nothing too special. But today they threw a ROBOT Yooyu into their own goal! That's never happend to me before and got me pretty suprised. XD Did this happen to anyone else?

Something I noticed yesterday, is that if I grab the DY and stand in a corner (I use top left), I can wait there and let the timer run out. An opponent will keep me company, but can't take the ball. So I score until I get the DY, then use that trick.

I'm currently working on rank 6, it said I needed 315 or 19 SOSD for this rank, I think. I've just seen a comment I made last year though... Hmmm... ?

One of the things that would always scare/excite me each year was waiting to see which teams would trade members. For example, on the Lost Desert I was pretty sad to see Lamelle Turow leave to Maraqua only to be replaced by a different Kiko, a desert painted Rhee Solters. But for the past few cups, has anyone actually been traded at all? I certainly didn't notice any changes for this year. Even though there might not be any official updates, if you could choose any roster changes for your own team what would you pick? Would you trade with another team for a player or bring in a fresh face? I'd love to see what everyone comes up with.

You can choose your teams now This will be my first Altador Cup and I'm actually excited to see what all the buzz is about. I have no history or knowledge on how any of this works other than this being a Neopets equivalent to the world cup. I look forward to seeing the poll results and predictions/brackets. Happy Blitzbal--I mean, Yooyuballing!
