I've been loyal to Darigan on my main since the very beginning, if they got rid of it I'm pretty sure I would just not bother with the AC ever again.

Removing the winner would be a bit odd i'd say and certainly create a huge backlash. If they would go that route it would need to be like a relegation of some sort and in that case the last placing team not placing for next years cup makes the most sense. Even that would however create a lot of drama on the boards i think and if they can put one and one together they will be smart enough to not do that either.
they however also could just add only one team and have one bracket that has one additional team for instance and have a mechanic where each bracket has a certain number of days that it's the larger bracket with the highest placing team in that bracket then jumping to the next bracket when the "large bracket" shifts from the lower bracket to the middle bracket for instance.
i'm sure there are other solutions that can be worked out too that would at least in theory solve the uneven teams debacle without having to resort to removing another already established team from the rotation for that year.

no problem at all. keep in mind this is based on information from previous years and i have no insight at all in what staff have planned/might chance for the current/ future years.

Plus, removing a team means they have to remove every team thereafter to make it fair. And lord knows we don't have another 18 years of Neopets left for them to come full circle lol

Yeah, removing a team would be okay if it was from the very beginning, but changing in the middle of it will cause complains and so. I get it, it does makes sense.
I was just saying this could be an option because it seems easier for them to make, as they wouldn't need a new brackets system as the number of teams would stay the same. it's not soemthing I'd personally like, but it felt like something they could do.
anyways, its just theorys and talking haha hope no one is mad because of this

I am team Faerieland. Would be nice if team CK was Faerieland since Faerieland has always been towards the bottom. But then might be too obvious if Faerieland all of sudden was near the top 😄😄

My vote is for Maraqua but I hope we do multiple teams this year.
