In 2024's Altador Cup...
You must score at least 2,700 points to earn rank points.
Each qualifying submission earns you 3 rank points.
You can submit up to 242 scores per day of Make Some Noise.
Gameplay (Desktop)
At the start of the game, you are presented with two letter keys. They can be any two letters except E, N, O, P, S, or T.
To get the audience roaring, simply press these two letter keys as fast as you can. The more frantic the audience becomes, the more points you'll receive! Sometimes you may see bonus keys pop up on the screen-press them for some extra points! Each game lasts 30 seconds, but if you'd like you can end the game early by pressing the space bar.

Gameplay (Mobile)
There are two "megaphone" buttons located in the bottom left and right corners of the screen.
To get the audience roaring, simply tap these two buttons as fast as you can. The more frantic the audience becomes, the more points you'll receive! Sometimes you may see bonus buttons of a giftbox pop up in random locations on the screen-tap them for some extra points! Each game lasts 30 seconds, and cannot be ended early.

Scoring
Each correct tap earns you 25 points. These points cannot be lost, even if you slow down or stop tapping altogether. Bonus keys randomly award 100 to 500 points. These are the only ways to earn points, and points from both sources are shown immediately under the meter (in the bottom right corner for desktop, and bottom center for mobile.)
The meter at the bottom right corner (desktop) or bottom center (mobile) is merely decorative. It generally reflects your speed and accuracy, but does not actually impact your score.
At the end of the game, you are shown an accuracy score, but your accuracy has no direct effect on your score; it is only shown for your interest.
Strategy
Because you do not lose points for taking breaks or slowing down, always go for the bonuses, even if it's an inconvenient location.
If you are playing on desktop and don't like the keys you are given (for example, if they are too close or too far apart), just simply end the game immediately and start over with a new pair of keys.
Since Make Some Noise can be strenuous on your hands, make sure to supplement long marathons with quick games of Yooyuball, Shooutout Showdown, or Slushie Slinger to give them a break.
Quick Tips
- The minimum score requirement to earn Altador Cup points is 2,700. Any scores sent that do not meet the requirement will not count towards your point totals.
- The maximum amount of scores you can send per day is 242 games. All scores sent after hitting the maximum will not count towards your point totals.
- Stop pressing after you've earned 2,700 points during long marathons to save time and energy. On desktop you can immediately then press the space bar to end the game and submit your score.

Changes From Flash Version
Recently returning players may notice some substantial changes from the Flash version. It is unknown which of these are bugs, oversights, or intentional changes.
- The keyboard controls work differently. In the Flash version, you had to alternate pressing the two keys in order to accrue points. This meant pressing down and then letting up on one letter before pressing down on the other. In the HTML5 version on desktop, you can simply hold down the right letter without letting up and press only the left letter to accrue points.
- Points never decrease. In the Flash version, you had to press somewhat continuously to keep points you earned. If you started to go too slow or to stop, your points earned would start to decrease. This meant pressing down and then letting up on one letter before pressing down on the other. In the HTML5 version, points are never lost once earned, even if you slow down or even if you stop completely.
