Yes, you read that right, Spinoff is back on!

After a little negotiation the guys at the MCM Expo have agreed to give us some space for the tourney. Awesome, right? Now here's the hard part: forget everything you have previously heard about Spinoff. Seriously, it'll just confuse the hell out of you. Let's start a fresh, okay?

Okay. Spinoff is now a two day event. It'd be great if you could make both days but if you can only make one then that is fine too. We will have the main tourney on Saturday 23rd. It is scheduled to start at 12:00. This may be pushed back till like 12:30 if people are stuck in queues, etc, but no later than this. If you want to take part you must have registered before then. We will have free battles and demos to the other Expo attendees on both the Saturday (when we're not doing the tourney) and the following Sunday. We may have a mini tourney on the Sunday, depending on the number of people.

The actual tourney will start at roughly midday on the Saturday. If you've put down that you're coming and I can see you're not there then I can wait a bit but I'd like to get it started around that time. I'll post a picture or something later but for now, my number is *number deleted because you don't need it anymore*. Use as appropriate (running late, can't find us, etc.)

As Spinoff is now being hosted inside the Expo, you must buy a ticket. You can either buy a Fast Track Ticket that will allow you early and relatively queue free access to the event, or you can turn up on the day and buy a ticket when you get there. However, if you do this then you may have to wait in some pretty long queues. For that reason, it is advised that you order tickets in advance. For more inormation, please look here: http://www.londonexpo.com/show_information/tickets.html

Transport to the Excel Center is easy as it has very close train and DLR links. Just start at the Excel Center and work backwords to your house! If you have any queries on how to get there then please PM me so I can help you out. Alternatively, this may be of help: http://www.excel-london.co.uk/visitors/travel

It would be nice if you could PM me or post to say you're definitely coming but if not then don't worry. In any case, spread the word and bring along as many friends as you can!

If you have any other questions or queries please ask here or PM me. I'll be sure to answer quickly. If it is a smaller question I would appreciate it if you PMed me rather than spamming up the thread. Thanks a lot in advance. Wink


Obviously the most important part is that we all get to meet and battle each other, but, as an added bonus, we have some prizes. Wink

~Saturday~
1st Prize: 4x RBV2
2nd Prize: 3x RBV2
3rd Prize: 2x RBV2

~Sunday~
1st Prize: 1x RBV2
2nd Prize: 1x RBV2
3rd Prize: 1x RBV2

For those of you who are curious, RBV2 is a pretty awesome RB. Most of the blades in it have good parts, and there's the chance of getting a Libra which is obviously a staple part. Here's what you could win:

Aquario 105B
Aquario DF145SF
Bull DF145HF
Libra 100F
Libra D125HF
Pisces D125BS
Virgo 100B
Virgo 125BS


It seems an attendance list is necessary so.....here we go. Joyful_3 It'd be great if anyone who is 'unconfirmed' could confirm whatever their answer may be as soon as possible. I do apologise if there are any mistakes, I'm sure you can understand that with all the 'it's on', 'no it's off', 'no it's on', 'no it's off' stuff, it is a little confusing. ^^;

I am hesitant to put any more than that. I don't want people to be put down for something they had no intension of going to and then people getting annoyed at them for it. ^^; Who knows, I may have already put too much. :X

As you can see on page 12, Espio is working on another list but let's wait a little till that's updated here. :3

I have got all the artwork prepared for the Expo. I should be getting x10 posters printed this week. This includes 8 Spinoff posters and 2 Beyblade Battle Station posters.

The Leaflets should hopefully be printed and at my address by earlly next week.

Also, mainly at Rocky and Blitz. Should we print off a set of the WBO Official Rules as well for the event. You know, just have them to hand and for people to look at.?
May. 11, 2009  2:33 PM
 
Yeh I think it would be a good idea to print off a set of the WBO Offical Rules.
May. 11, 2009  2:34 PM
 
Yep, definitely. And the tournament record things (Blitz you're still doing this?). And we might need grid sheets so we can see who's actually battled each other and who's left. Etc, etc.

Thanks for all this Espio. And theintoy. Joyful_3
May. 11, 2009  2:40 PM
 
Yeh I'll still print off some of those scoring sheets and bring them up with me on the Friday. Grin
May. 11, 2009  2:49 PM
 
Who will be drawing up the gird for the tournament? Should we leave this until the day because we're not sure on numbers still. We could use Blitz's sheets for this however, just put the battles down and obviously the winner goes through to the next round. Do you get what I mean?

I'll print a rulebook here and bring it along. I could also print some of those battle sheets as well. I'm going to be bringing quite a lot with me haha. Also, for Brad or whoever else knows. Will Chozen be bringing the prizes to the expo on Saturday?
May. 11, 2009  2:59 PM
 
Chozen should be sending them to me at some point. My friend and I went to raid his house but he didn't have them on him at the time. XD

That would work if we were using the tournament format that they used in the anime but I thought we were using Round Robin (or Block Round Robin) so that people aren't out after just one battle. Assuming I haven't got my tourney format definitions mixed up. For that it'd be useful to have a grid for the actual event and then Blitz's sheets for inputting data to the WBS as we'll see what order everything happened in. We'd need these for free battles as well.
May. 11, 2009  3:15 PM
 
OK, you can do the tournament stuff haha. I'm not very familiar with the round robin and block round robin procedure lol.

I will print a load of sheets to bring along. If Chozen didn't have them on when you went to "raid" his house, where else would they be?
May. 11, 2009  3:23 PM
 
Lol, he hadn't collected them from the Post Office at that point.
May. 11, 2009  4:08 PM
 
A quick update regarding prints. I have 10 copies of the WBO Tournament Record. I will print the rule book closer to the time just in case any changes are made between now and the expo.

^ *shock*

Um yeah, just letting people know that Fast Track Ticket ordering ends tomorrow. Don't miss it!
May. 12, 2009  8:32 PM
 
What's that?
May. 12, 2009  8:34 PM
 
...........the ticket that lets you get in without having to queue for hours. =_= Don't sweat it too much, I think you can buy mine.

I won't, if my brother will order it that is. (I don't have the means to.)

O and what do you know, my mum as said that she doesn't really want me travelling or going by myself when:

1. There is no one for me to go with
2. WTF, I AM 19 YEARS OLD!

Me not a happy bunny.
May. 12, 2009  8:36 PM
 
You sure , and if so how much you want for it?also i wanted to know about the fast track tickets, does it go for saturday and sunday or just 1 day?
May. 12, 2009  8:40 PM
 
PMs? Or just come round? XD

Sucks Zander, sort her out. >.>

I wish I could and I wish i could start a whole new life with no problems but that is not going to happen.

To be honest, i would rather go by myself anyway.
May. 12, 2009  9:36 PM
 
Wow, if she wont let you travel by yourself and your 19 then you have no hope in life lol. Tell her your a big boy now and think you can handle traveling by yourself. If not then tell her your going anyway. Your older than 18 so your parents cant really dictate what you do. Your practically an adult. As for fast track tickets, i would advise buying them, they are cheap and save a lot of time. I got mine through the post today.
May. 12, 2009  9:38 PM
 
EDIT: I'm sorry, I wasn't really thinking. Unhappy

Problem is, I can't do anything because they pretty much hold the money I need to be able to go.

A pointless post, might be considered spam because it doesnt encourage further posting or isnt related to the topic. Im posting from my phone on both occasions.

Seriously, who corrects people's spelling on a message board like that?
May. 12, 2009  10:21 PM
 
Actually I read it as though he was just deleting the 'practically' part of the sentence. Confused Though looking at it, a spelling correction does seem likely.......otherwise he could have put 'you are'. Confused

V I win. Grin

It doesn't matter, it was stupid on my part (edited the post btw). But yes, I deleted the practically in the sentence.
I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking.

I'm starting to stress out now. The printer hasn't got back to me about the posters and may have to get a lower quality print somewhere else and I'm still waiting on theINtoy regarding the pamphlets. All the artwork is done, its just the waiting for everybody to get back to me, its just killing me....

I have found a really good printing company on the ineternet. They charge £25 for 20 A3 Digital print posters. This price is amazing and extremely cheap. They are all gloss finish as well. I may be going with them.

BeyUK.net also has a new background for a short time hehe!!
