CupInfo's Challenger List
All of the teams above except Luna Rossa met the initial March
31, 2011, deadline for entry. Luna Rossa was permitted as a late entry.
Team Australia, Venezia Challenge, and the undisclosed teams
failed to meet subsequent requirements, generally understood to be primary
financial issues.
Why Does the Order of Entry Matter?
The official order of entry is only relevant in the respect that it establishes
the succession process for the title of Challenger of Record (COR).
If the current team acting as COR is eliminated from
competition in the normal course of racing during the challenger selection
series, the official duties of the COR fall to the next challenger (in order of
acceptance) who is still competing. This process continues as teams are
eliminated until finally the Louis Vuitton Cup winner becomes the ultimate
Challenger of Record and faces the Defender in the America's Cup Match.
Also, in the event an acting Challenger of Record withdraws
their challenge, the next challenger in line would become the Challenger of
Record. See the 2013 America's Cup Protocol, Article 6.4, for details
(excerpted below). The official order of entry also helps determine
priority for receiving the team's AC45 yacht.
Club Nautico di Roma/Mascalzone Latino resigned on May 12,
2011, and the KSSS represented by Artemis Racing became the COR. A
resignation by the COR is unusual, but not unprecedented. KSSS/Artemis
Racing lost in the Louis Vuitton Cup Semi-Finals, and on August 10, 2013, Royal
New Zealand YS became the COR.
Notes:
*"Company ESM" appears to be the official legal entity, while the YC de France
challenge generally is called "Energy Team"
For reference, here is Article 6 of the Protocol for the 34th
Defense of the America's Cup, governing succession of the role of Challenger of
Record. (CNR refers to Club Nautico di Roma):
6. Challenger Of Record
6.1 CNR, having submitted the
first valid notice of challenge to GGYC, is appointed as the Challenger of
Record.
6.2 CNR or any subsequent
Challenger of Record shall give 90 days notice of an intention to withdraw its
challenge (unless GGYC has accepted at least one other Challenger, whereupon the
provisions of Article 6.4 shall apply). During the 90-day notice period
the challenge of the Challenger of Record shall remain valid unless waived by
GGYC. Any withdrawal of challenge shall be deemed to be a 90-day notice of
withdrawal of challenge.
6.3 If the Challenger of Record
is eliminated from the America’s Cup Challenger Series, Article 6.4 shall apply.
6.4 The next Challenger of Record shall be the Challenger who
is still a Competitor and was accepted first in time after the previous
Challenger of Record. At the close of the entry period, the Regatta
Director shall publish a list of Challengers and the dates on which they were
accepted, and thereafter update the list if any late Challengers are accepted.
