Hello everyone. As you all know, each year Joe and Bat work their hardest on their AC bot for the entirety of the Altador Cup's duration. Meaning, for an entire month, it's constant effort from them to make sure we have an up to date program that assists us in meeting our own AC goals.
However, we do have to note that this process takes time to implement, considering they're working and testing on a live system. So, this guide/FAQ will serve as a space to answer some common question that may arise about the Altador Cup. Please be sure to read the questions and answers below to possibly see if your question hasn't already been answered.
If you have any additional questions in relation to the Altador Cup Score Sender, please be sure to review this board and ask if you don't see an answer: (you need an account to see links)
I hope this guide serves you all well, and that it helps takes some weight off the everyone's shoulders.
This section will house general questions outside of the below categories.
"For those of you who are familiar with score sending, I bring you a more advanced version of botting for the Altador Cup.
This program is made to handle multiple accounts running score senders at once. You may set a time for it to start, stop, repeat and how many games to play per account.
This program is capable of sending for Yooyuball, Make Some Noise, Slushie Slinger, and Shootout Showdown."
You can find it (you need an account to see links), and you do require VIP in order to gain access to use it, so keep that in mind. If you have any questions about this program, please be sure to ask it on that board.
Q: Is the program updated for the year? A: Throughout the month of June, Joe and Bat work to update the SSer constantly and consistently to make sure we all have an enjoyable experience. In order to perform the work and updates that they need, the games first need to be live to account for any changes that may have been applied by TNT.
All updates regarding this program are handled in the board referenced before. They will post there letting us all know if they updated the score sender for the year. If you don't see an update or post from them, then it's safe to assume that an update hasn't applied yet.
At the current time of writing this guide, the SSer has been updated for the year 2023, so have fun playing!
Q: Can I join team CK, and if so, how? A: You would read the board (you need an account to see links) and follow the instructions on how to submit your application for review to join the team. If approved, you'll have access to know the team we support for the year and use the SS as well. Be mindful that not all applicants will be approved and your chances of approval are dependent on how active and engaging you are with the community. Joe's post goes more in depth about it, but don't take it personal if you happen to not be accepted. There's always next year!
Q: I got accepted! Can I tell my friends? A: We're glad to have you on the team! But, please don't share any information about the team CK chose or hints/theories on who we chose. This includes not speaking about it in our official Discord, Neopets Chat Forum/Subgroups, Neoboards, ect. Once accepted, you will see a designated board where you can discuss our team activity.
Q: What is everyone's score in XXX? What's your account's current rank? A: Unless someone feels like sharing this information themselves in their own post without prior asking, don't ask this. This is a public board and people lurk here all the time to match up scores to accounts and report them. Furthermore, this is information you do not need to know about another's account. I mean this as kind as possible, but don't go digging for information from members of the community.
Q: Will the bot tell me about any important info such as updates or information related to the cup? A: No. This is information you can review on ck (this board), Neopets, and Jellyneo (cup related news). It's always a golden rule to know what you yourself are botting for before even attempting to do so. Please use your normal sources for news related to any updates or such regarding the cup.
This section will house common questions related to the Altador Cup as an event.
This section will go over how ranks are calculated and broken down. Additionally, it'll also go over how you can calculate your total number of points that you accumulate while playing through the event.
Q: How do I calculate my rank/points then? A: Points are awarded for each game as followed:
12 points per YYB win
35 games to max per day
12 (points) x 35 (games) = 420 points (1 day of max YYB games)
6 points per SLSL game
65 games to max per day
6 (points) x 65 (games) = 390 points (1 day of max SLSL)
1 point per MSN/SOSD game (they both give 1 point for every game)
301 games to max per day
1 x 301 = 301 points (1 day of max MSN)
1 x 301 = 301 points (1 day of max SOSD)
So in total that's 602 points
Example of score calculation:
Imagine these are the total number of games I played for the AC:
350 YYB Games - 4,200 points
350 SLSL Games - 2,100 points
2000 MSN Games - 2,000 points
2000 SOSD Games - 2,000 points
----------------------------------
Total = 10,300 points / 13,200 points
So, my current rank is All-Star because I'm over 6,600 points, but I'm not a Double All-Star because I'm not over 13,200 points.
Q: Now that the event is over, what do I do with all my points? A: Hey, congrats on getting through the Altador Cup! Now take those points you earned and make sure to use them (you need an account to see links). Be mindful that the prize shop typically stays open until the next AC rolls around next summer. So, don't feel rushed to immediately redeem prizes. You'll usually have about a year or so to decide.

Needed this guide so bad!!!! Thank you for outlining all of this important information for us! Knowing exactly how much I need for each rank up will help me get that sweet All-Star rank in no time. Much appreciated!
♥ slowpoke ♥
♥ thanks, Zenitsu! for the art + graphics! ilysm! ♥ ♥ thanks, Woohoo for the avatar!! ♥ ♥ thanks, Lyrichord for the profile picture! ♥ ♥ thanks, Charmander for the custom Ryu + userbar! ♥
Perhaps one more thing you could add is that you can check how far you're away from a given rank on the colosseum home page by clicking on i believe it's your current rank or potentially your current shield.
That only helps up up until all-star but might be nice to know nevertheless.

Oh thank you for this Mario! I completely forgot about that part of the homepage. I'll be sure to take a screenshot and add this information in there soon.

Thank you for the guide, I had a question, what rank would be considered safe? The highest rank you made sure to say was risky due to how many points are needed, but is hitting all-star and then stopping a good idea or is triple-all - star an alright spot to shoot for?

Really, it’s about how you go about it. It’s very safe to get to Double All Star, even Triple if you’re extra ambitious and have “time”. Just don’t brag on the boards and typically you’re fine.
I've updated the guide to include the info Mario highlighted.

@(you need an account to see links) summed it up very well regarding your own goals for the AC. Double and Triple are definitely doable within a month and I think you can honestly hit All-Star+ just from maxing out two games a day for 10 days.
As always though, don't yell it to the world, and you'll be fine.

Thank you so much for this!!! Every year I am digging all over looking for this kind of information because my brain refuses to retain it x3
Between the scores, ranks, points and all with numbers my little egg brain is cooked trying to keep up. This makes it so much easier now ^-^
