Sports News Update: More teams for 2011 America's Cup,

The America's Cup yacht race will once again allow more than two teams to enter next year, Larry Ellison, the boss of this year's winning team has said.

Other teams were excluded from the 2010 event because Oracle and its opponent, the 2009 champion Alinghi, could not agree on the format.

"The next event will be multi-challenger," said Ellison, as reported by the BBC. "We will develop bases for many teams."

San Francisco, San Diego, and Newport, Rhode Island were being considered as the venue for the 2011 race, Ellison said. The America's Cup winner has the right to chooose the venue for the next year's event.
