Baptism of Fire 73 - Official Host Announcement
At the moment this post is written, we have 33 signups confirmed up to the most recent OP update, 4 new signups, and an additional one by Free Republic of Hong Kong which was missed in said update, for a total of 38 nations signed up.
Conversely, Barlovento has announced its withdrawal while the signup by Emastalia and Springmont have been rejected as the former nation already took part in the previous World Cup and earned KPB points, while the latter nation took part in the competition before, making both of them ineligible to compete in the BoF. The withdrawal of Barlovento and the exclusions of Emastalia and Springmont leave us with a total of 35 signups, with which signups for the 73rd Baptism of Fire will be closed with one additional signup, for a total of 36.
The tournament's everything thread as well as reminders to the participants will be posted/sent within the next 24 hours. Thank you for your attention and good luck to everyone!
