Looks like the on going court case is the only way for the United States to participate in the next cup. I'm supprised there wasn't a "Fall Back" Team That would enter the new proposed cup protocol incase Elison loses the court case. Then the team majically gets new sponsorship and becomes Oracle Bmw after they are already in.
One of the revised provisions disqualifies a Challenger who hires any sailors or designers who have worked for BMW/Oracle since 2007.
