The '''Baptism of Fire''' tournament is a preliminary tournament to the [[World Cup]], in which only new nations ([[newb|newbs]]) are allowed. It was created by [[Kaze Progressa]] to encourage such nations to be involved in [[World Cup]] 12, which was to be co-hosted in the country - as well as to showcase the nation's less absurdly-sized stadia and to test the innovative [[scorination]] formula for WC12. More recently, it has emerged as a regular fixture in the sporting calendar. The [[RP-bonus]] is higher than usual (and furthermore is the only variable separating the teams besides luck) since the main intention of this tournament is to give a ranking boost for the [[World Cup]] to RPing newbs. Indeed, the Baptism of Fire tournament ([[Sport (IRC channel)|#sport]]-slang: BoF) influences the [[KPB ranking system]]. Following a less-than spectactular BoF 15 won by [[Turori]], [[Vilita]] revitalized the BoF with a new RP dependant Two-Region format originally Co-Hosted by [[Liverpool England]] before [[Atlantian Oceania]] regionmate [[Starblaydia]] stepped in to host their first tournaments in BoF 17 & 18.  After BoF 19, [[Vilita]] was awarded the position of semi-permanent co-host, with the task of selecting a co-host for each incarnation of the cup, until his resignation before BoF 26.  [[Rejistania]] was awarded the hosting duties by WCC President [[Simeone Di Bradini]] for BoF 26.  [[Legalese]], a former co-host with Vilita, not to mention a controversal two-time participant in the BoF, took over co-hosting duties with Rejistania before WC 27.  After Rejis bowed out of hosting BoF 28, Legalese tapped [[The Kazoo Peoples]] to be his co-host, returning the BoF to its usual tradition of pairing an experienced host with one relatively new to the hosting scene.

The Baptism of Fire tournament is a preliminary tournament to the World Cup, in which only new nations (newbs) are allowed. It was created by Kaze Progressa to encourage such nations to be involved in World Cup 12, which was to be co-hosted in the country - as well as to showcase the nation's less absurdly-sized stadia and to test the innovative scorination formula for WC12. More recently, it has emerged as a regular fixture in the sporting calendar. The RP-bonus is higher than usual (and furthermore is the only variable separating the teams besides luck) since the main intention of this tournament is to give a ranking boost for the World Cup to RPing newbs. Indeed, the Baptism of Fire tournament (#sport-slang: BoF) influences the KPB ranking system. Following a less-than spectactular BoF 15 won by Turori, Vilita revitalized the BoF with a new RP dependant Two-Region format originally Co-Hosted by Liverpool England before Atlantian Oceania regionmate Starblaydia stepped in to host their first tournaments in BoF 17
