Baptism of Fire
From NSwiki, the NationStates encyclopedia.
Baptism of Fire Cup
This 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 has more recently emerged as a fixture in the sporting calendar. The RP-bonus is higher than usual, 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.
