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.

Minimum Scores and Daily Limits

This means that the most points you could possibly earn in a single day is 29*14 + 53*10 + 242*3 + 242*3 = 406 + 530 + 726 + 726 = 2,388.

Ranks: 2024

Although there is no official rank beyond All-Star, extremely dedicated players will often talk about Double All-Star (4,950 * 2 = 9,900 points), Triple All-Star (4,950 * 3 = 14,850 points), and so on.

Reaching All-Star: 2024

There are many ways to reach All-Star ranking. 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 wanted to play more Shootout Showdown instead of Yooyuball, you could just multiply the Yooyuball number by 14/3.

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

With addition of a 19th team in 2024, it is not yet clear how many days of play there will be. In previous recent years, there were 22 days of play: 17 days of round robin and 5 days of finals. TNT has not made clear if there will be additional days in either section to accommodate the extra team. However, the rules page does state that the tournament will take place from July 31 through August 31. However, in the past the conclusion of the tournament took place several days after play ended, so we're not yet sure if play will be available this entire time!

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:

Ranks 16+ top 6 team middle 6 team bottom 6 team

Ranks 11 to 15 top 6 team middle 6 team bottom 6 team

Ranks 6 to 10 top 6 team middle 6 team bottom 6 team

Ranks 1 to 5 top 6 team middle 6 team bottom 6 team

Beginner

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.
