Autumn Attack
14th November
London, Regents Park
Meeting Spot: The Boathouse Cafe
12:00pm - 3:30pm
Regents Park has been the location for the last few WBO tournaments, and we've found it to be a good location, yet we felt a change was in order.
The previous location was difficult for a lot of people to find, and was poorly located which made access to food and toilet facilities difficult.
The new location will be The Boathouse Cafe.
The attached map should help you to find the location:
http://www.royalparks.org.uk/parks/regents_park/
The Boathouse Cafe is marked as number 5, and is heavily sign posted through out the park.
It is also marked as number 5 on all maps within the park.
We'll me meeting outside the Boathouse Cafe at 12:00, and move to an area of nearby grass at 1:00 to start the tournament. The tournament will most probably go on until around 3:30, yet it could go on for less, or possibly longer.
We will be around for a period of time after the tournament, but probably not for a lot longer since the park will be pretty much pitch black by 4:30/5:00.
We'd recommend traveling to the event from Baker Street station, as it's closest to the event.
The tournament style will be block round robin, since this worked well at the last event.
The main tournament will be MFB only, but free battles will allow plastic and HMS as usual.
Items we'd recommend for you to bring would include a hooded coat or jacket in case of rain, possibly an umbrella, and layers such as jumpers and scarves (as the weather will be taking a colder turn by the time of the tournament).
We'd also recommend that if you do intend to take part in the tournament, then bring your own beys.
This may sound like an obvious suggestion, but in the past people have come without, expecting to borrow other peoples.
This would not be a problem, but more than half the blades that have been lent out to people have either come back damaged from improper use, or not come back at all (as those who visited expo will know).
Obviously this has made people a lot more reluctant to lend out their own beys.
The entry fee will be the same as usual, free with a blader passport (£6 to buy), or £3 otherwise, and as usual there is no age restriction.
We hope you'll be interested in this tournament, and enjoy it as you have done with previous tournaments.

But then, I didn't see any signs of a convention there at all so that would probably be why....though, tbh, I've never really heard about conventions there anyways...and seeing as it's a small mall/arcade, I have to wonder where on earth they'd put everything. :X

Aww, luckily your not the tournament host. Still it's a blow! Also, don't be convinced that this really cool Japanese toy convention is there, becuase all it is, is a Japanese stockist that supplies with the leading Japanese toys (BanDai, Takara etc.) I, also went on saturday.. from the main entrance look for a poster saying stuff about some Japanese thing. Locate the mini-shop and get them from there. If you go through the back exit of the Dodgems, the shop lies there.
And the other tourney being moved didn't have anything to do with me not being there. I was just lucky is all.
Rocky was a part of it, mainly due to judge numbers which could be shaping up as a problem for this event.
Blitz still doesn't know if he'll be able to get the day off of work, Rocky is no longer coming which definitely puts us down two judges.
I'll be asking ♥ to judge as well in Rocky's place, which in turn should give us our 3 if Blitz attends.
Hopefully Blitz will manage to make it, but if not I'll find an alternate arrangement.
And I don't feel like going, dont even think i can come, just cant stand sitting in the cold all day then it being pitch black when i get home :\
Err, I hope the lack of attendance is not going to affect the whole tourney? I have a sly fear of people saying they won't turn up... and then the whole thing will be put off..
anyways i shouldnt be so negative

MFB aren't on Tokyo toys official site either, so I'm still fairly skeptical of this as it is.
This is not me starting a fight, or a debate as to whether or not they are stocking them, this is me saying this is not the place to discuss it.
Sam: On the point of you judging we prefer older more experienced members to judge.
Lee: I'll keep you as a back up, if you could read up on the rulebook between now and then it'd be helpful.
As for people dropping out, this is unlikely.
Blitz was uncertain from the beginning, and Rocky recently managed to get herself a part time job which led to her being unable to get the time off.
Also, in the attendence list you named my name twice.
