I have the first exam on tape here... I'm watching it now. The one thing I
do know, is that in the Naruto canon, 78 participants passed, and Ibiki and Anko obviously had expected
much less.
There won't be a semifinal (or whatever its called...), because that was because there were to many passing genin. We might have to have one, but judging on how we're
short on members, I doubt we'll need it.
EDIT: Just remembered... the first exam was
also extra... beause of the genin rookies participating, and they (...
they, I don't know who
they is, but...) needed to make sure they were ready for the exam. The first exam has already started *points to rp* but there would've been a first exam anyway, so there's nothing wrong with that... That's why the Chuunin exams take up 60 some episodes, because there's extra stuff
