SUNDAY, MARCH 9 2014
Heckscher Playground, Central Park - New York, NY, USA
LIMITED FORMAT

Registration - 11:30AM
Start Time - 12PM

The road to the Grand Battle begins! New York Bladers, this is your chance to earn paid travel expenses (if necessary) to ANIME NORTH, along with an AN Pass to play in the WBO North American Championship, GRAND BATTLE TOURNAMENT 2!!

Mandatory $5 Entry Fee = More Qualifiers + Extra Credits + Free Face Booster!
To help subsidize the high cost of flying/busing the qualifiers to Toronto, a mandatory $5 entry fee will be imposed on all Qualifier Series tournaments, regardless of whether or not a participant has a Blader Passport (if you wish to purchase a Blader Passport, the total cost would be $15 at a Qualifier Series tournament), and there will be no prize reimbursement apart from the travel expenses for the winner. We hope that everyone can understand this! The more funds we have, the bigger this championship will be! However, to show our appreciation for your cooperation and support in helping to fund the championship, all participants in Qualifier Series tournaments will receive the following:

What can I win?
The winner of this qualifier will receive the following:
  • Paid travel expenses, by plane/bus/public transit (if necessary, and whichever is cheapest) to ANIME NORTH 2014 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada for GRAND BATTLE TOURNAMENT 2.
  • An ANIME NORTH 2014 Pass
Qualifiers will be responsible for finding/paying for accommodations in Toronto, but we will work closely with each of you to make sure that you find somewhere suitable. Additionally, the winner will be required to consult with the Committee before booking their flight/bus, and then after approval, provide a booking confirmation to the WBO Committee before they can provide reimbursement for the traveling costs. We can also reimburse gas costs, but in that case, reimbursement will only take place in person after we have received gas receipts.

I don't know if i can make it(because of limited might still come). But still anyway i am maybe.
Oh, too bad. Like UltimateOrion, I can't come because it's limited. If that gets changed then I can come. Unhappy
Why don't you guys like limited?

I don't know why but it doesn't seem as fun to me.
I don't know about that. It's way more competitive.

For now confirm me and my brother if anything changes i will let you know.
I'll confirm you when you are confirmed.

Oh ok i will know probably tonight if i am confirmed. I will edit my post saying if i am going or not...

Ok i am confirmed but only if it doesn't rain. Also Cye are you participating in the tournament?
I'll try to come! I definitely will! (And I probably will come, unless I have to go back to my school early.)

I'm sure many people would disagree with you and Aquamarine on that. Wink But regardless of how you feel about it, I think it's worth it considering what you could win!

I'm not entirely sure if I'll enter this. I have no idea about the tier for this format, and I'm sure I don't have all the parts.

Ya see? That's why limited is hard for me. Put me as maybe.
What, and you need the absolute best parts to play? Scared that you can't hack it with a bit of skill and smart combo choice? That's not Beyspirit, son (and a bb-96 is $15 shipped and has amazing stuff for limited - limited is the cheapest format to get into right now, and various things from standard work in Limited, even some metal wheels can be used for attack or in the case of a certain Genbull setup, defense).

A lot of posts in this thread make me more than a little sad and disappointed, but Cye, I wish you the best of luck getting this together.
Also, I should have mentioned this earlier. If you guys have BB:10s, please bring them.

I will bring 2 of my BB10's. Also if anybody is selling a Pre Hybrid Wheel Libra at the tournament please PM me.
Me and The Sponge are on possible Smile
