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.

Yeah, the tournament will still be in the park, It's supposed to be warmer this weekend. It will be at least 37 on Sunday.
And that is warm?
Good to the participants tommorrow!
Don't forget your BB-10's guys!
Those photographs are noisy, but is there essentially just one dent, on the right side in the first picture ?
Jeez... Does that thing even sit flat?
It does not seem that bad. Those small borders on the BeyStadium Attack Type can easily be warped, but the actual meeting line with the walls usually always remains OK. In any case, it might be me not seeing something from the photographs, but it was not an issue I saw, with my tired eyes.
Ingulit mentioned remembering some issues with it that would affect things circling the Tornado ridge when I spoke to him about it. Personally, as someone who like using attack types, that dent would worry me - RF has enough trouble staying in as it is and with a dent like that, the resulting momentary loss of contact is generally disastrous. I mean, if it comes down to Cye really needing it, and it is only as bad as it looks then maybe, but I would still be very hesitant, especially with the quality of those photographs and Ingulit having already passed a negative verdict on it once before. Also cannot resist pointing out that the effect that would have is a whole lot more than taped walls, but you know. That's my 2c anyway, I know how expensive the things are to replace so if you say it's fine then good for Aquamarine, but uh, I'm surprised to say the least, haha.
I too think last word is going to be in Cye Kinomiya's mouth, but from those photographs it seems 'OK', and I just hope there will not be a shortage of stadiums considering that it appears the attendance will be decent.

Did you even ask them, between your post on March 1st and today ?
Yes. I got mad at my mom and she changed her mind last minute. I might watch.

You posted slightly over twelve hours ago saying it was a "yes" so far; why did it change at the last minute ?
