    From today's news:

    It's been rather busy around here, what with all the changes being made to the Altador Cup tournament... What? You haven't heard about the changes? Well - I will try to give you the quick run down. Now listen carefully! The Altador Cup officials have decided to change the tournament style up a bit, I hear. The biggest change is that there will no longer be a Finals bracket. Instead, there will be four rounds with each round lasting six days long-- hold on a moment, will you? I need to take care of something.

    Oh good, you're still here. Anyway, as I was saying, each round will consist of three brackets with six teams in each bracket. And yes, don't worry, we still have all 18 teams. Apparently each team will only play teams in their bracket, and each bracket is randomly generated. There is more, of course, but we won't hear about it until the Altador Cup starts. Now move along, I'm rather busy as I still need to check the inventory on fan freebies that will be handed out soon... *mutters and walks away*

    I am not sure what this will mean for game play, however the AC board is now in panic mode lol

    Doesn't sound to me like the games will change, just the structure of the competition ;o

    Each round lasting 6 rounds?
    I wonder if the current users of neopets have an attention span that can keep up the effort for 6 days.

    The festival of neggs was like...an entire month xD Though probably less than 1/10th the effort you'd need to put into the AC.

    I haven't played in the Altador cup for two years, but I remember back then I could barely keep up as is with playing yooyu ball for an hour straight. Those people have some determination lol.

    Agh, I was happy with how the Altador Cup was before this...
    My attention span can't handle six days of competition. :/
