Note: This year is a 5-Round Altador Cup


Recommended Posts

I've seen some people on the NeoBoards asking how many rounds are there. Well, though on the Standinfs Page it says 4 Rounds, the match schedule actually says that there are five rounds this year after the "Plague" that TNT found out about.

 

What does that mean you ask? Well, if your team is in the Top 6, it'll go into the top bracket, which awards the most points; Middle 6 teams go to the middle bracket, which awards less points, and bottom 6 goes to the bottom bracket.

 

This means that the best teams will face off against each other and there won't be a situation where a team like Krawk Island won't sweep a bracket filed with teams like Terror Mountain, Roo Island and Haunted Woods (no offence to those team) and get the most points, making the system fairer to the underdogs.

 

Tl;dr? Keep playing until the last minute and who knows? There might well be an upset. Game on guys!

...the middle bracket awards less points is not true. The points is still 33 points for first, 28 for second, so on for all brackets, which means the last placer in the top bracket can be overtaken by the first placer in the middle bracket (which is kinda unfair), but at least teams didn't tank for 7th or anything. (MQ being nerfed again opens up a spot for contention in the middle bracket's 1st place)
