Mascalzone Latino officially withdrew from the America's Cup today leaving the entries at 13. The bigger problem is that they were the official challenger of record and helped carve the class and rules for this rendition of the cup. The cup can't go on without a challenger of record and the Deed of Gift (DOG) could come into play regarding how the next challenger of record comes to be. It should fall to the next challenger that filed an official challenge. While I'm sure that the team holding the Cup, Oracle, had worked to build plans long ago for this issue, if the next challenger isn't agreeable to the already carved class and rules, it could mean a substantial shake-up in what has been shaped thus far. Hopfully there will be little drama.
