Rank Calculator
To access your rank information, visit the Colosseum home page, and scroll to the "Your Stats" section. Click on the button in the top right corner of that section.
Click where it says Beginner, or your own rank!
The pop-up will contain the number of wins you'll need in each game to increase your rank. You do not need to play all of those games. They are simply the number of games if you were to only play that single game. We recommend playing a mix of the four Cup games.

This means that the most points you could possibly earn in a single day is 35*12 + 65*6 + 301*1 + 301*1 = 420 + 390 + 301 + 301 = 1,412

Ranks
Although there is no official rank beyond All-Star, extremely dedicated players will often talk about Double All-Star (6,600 * 2 = 13,200
points), Triple All-Star (6,600 * 3 = 19,800
points), and so on. The maximum possible points you could earn throughout the cup is 31,064 points.
Reaching All-Star: 2023
There are 22 days of play in AC XVIII: 17 days of round robin and 5 days of finals. There are many ways to reach All-Star ranking over this time. Below we have a few suggestions of approaches you could take. You can follow these exactly, or modify them to your preferences! For example, if you don't like to play Make Some Noise, you can substitute it 1:1 for Shootout Showdown, 6:1 for Slushie Slinger, or 12:1 for Yooyuball wins.

A bit confusingly, once you actually obtain All-Star, your current rank will show as "Rank 20" and the All-Star shield, but your target rank will show as "All-Star", with the Rank 10 shield, no threshold to reach it, and rank requirements to 0. This is just a visual glitch; reaching "Rank 20" is the same as reaching "All-Star" and there is no further rank to achieve.

An example of the visual mess on your stats after achieving All-Star
Why Rank Matters
Your rank has only one singular purpose, and that is to determine the colour of the trophy that appears on your userlookup after the conclusion of the Altador Cup. (Your team's final ranking determines how ornate the trophy looks.) As an example, here are some samples of last year's trophies:
Rank 16+

top 6 team

middle 6 team

bottom 6 team
Ranks 11-15

top 6 team

middle 6 team

bottom 6 team
Ranks 6-10

top 6 team

middle 6 team

bottom 6 team
Rank 1-5

top 6 team

middle 6 team

bottom 6 team
Although you increase your rank by earning points (which are used to purchase final prizes), rank is not itself tied to any final prizes besides the trophy.
Practice Days
The typical Altador Cup schedule includes four "practice days," which are basically a day off from the Altador Cup. On practice days, you are not able to earn any rank points for your scores, even though you are still able to play the games and even earn Neopoints on your first three score submissions of each game.
Typically, there is one practice day after the first five to six Round Robin matches, a second after the next six Round Robin matches, and two in a row between Round Robin and Finals.
