It seems the sign-ups for the CPL World Championships, which take place from July 28^th to August 1^st, have been more successful than the CPL bosses had planned for. The following email was sent by the CPL, announcing that they're doubling the amount of participating clans to 96:

"Once again the CPL is experiencing rapid registrations for one of its tournaments, this time the $100,000 Counter-Strike (CS) World Championship. Earlier today all 48 available spots were taken, and in an effort to accommodate more teams the CPL added 8 waiting list spots which were taken in a matter of minutes. With 60 teams still trying to complete their five-member registration, the CPL has decided to expand the CS tournament to 96 teams. This will offer a few more teams an opportunity to complete their registrations on a first-come first-served basis.

Currently the 96-team CS tournament, has a block of 16 berths for worldwide qualifiers, 48 teams are confirmed and 8 more teams are being moved from the waiting list to the confirmed list. This means that only 24 more teams will be able to confirm their registration, and another 4 teams can register for new waiting list spots once the confirmed spots are all taken."
