You may register for a reserves list, and if you would be able to make it on short notice, (like, if I called you at 12:15 to get there by 1), then you may register for that as well (give me a contact number, preferably mobile, and a name). You'll be given major consideration for the second tourney, and if there are a lot of you, I'll host a second tourney in the near future, the soonest it works for everyone. I apologise for not warning you sooner.
If there are another 12 people though, I'll look into doing blocks, but I sincerely doubt that (and it would be hard to manage)
The reason for the limit is out of interest for attendees. We want you to have the maximum number of battles possible for the first tourney, for everyone's sake. The only format that will give us this is normal Round Robin, which is capped at 12 participants (as otherwise, it is too much work for the committee). Please be understanding, that I'm doing this for the good of our tournament scene, and will work to make up for anyone who misses out
What: An Official Tourney, for Perth Bladers!
When: Sunday, 3rd of July (2011). 12 Noon. Tourney Starts at 1PM, Free Play for the Hour Before. Make sure you arrive at 12, please.
Any later than 12:15, and your position is forfeit. If it's 12 and you're not there yet, text me. Full details are here. My number will be provided in the reminder PM.
Where: Kings Park, Variety Pavillion, or surrounding area.
Here's A Map of Kings Park's Venues It's #33, off Saw Avenue.
ENTRY FEE: 5USD (~$4.70 AU). Free for passport holders. Passports will be $10 USD. (They’re not actual physical objects but you can register for one at the event, and you'll receive a Passport Face once the WBO issues it to you). This is all WBO rules.
Prizes: First Prize: $25 Worth of Beyblade Stuff (Prize-Winners Choice)
Second Prize: $15 Worth of Beyblade Stuff (Prize-Winners Choice).
Rules: Standard WBO Rules. Here. READ THEM. Plus the 3.6 Update: READ IT TOO!
An extra thing, though it isn't a rule, I'd prefer if, out of respect to stadium owners and the tourney holder (me), people refrained from using MS/M145 unless absolutely necessary. It's not against the rules, but in my opinion there is a risk of damage to stadiums due to improper use, and if there is any ill feeling after the event, I won't be inclined to host again.
I'd rather people didn't use the Rev-Up launcher, as it's not totally fair IMO, but that's a personal opinion, and I'm not going/able to stop you. It'll be cool if we kept it to beylaunchers, though, at least for our first tournament
Format: Round Robin. All players battle each other once, and then the three players with the most wins play round robin against each other, number of wins decides placing. Tie Breakers, again, where necessary. This limits us to 12 places, however.
Please read the the Official Event Guide if you're interested in how things will be/should be run.
[b]Only say you can "definitely attend" if you are 100% sure you can make it (check with parents/guardians before posting, PLEASE).
If we end up with only 7 people there on the day because you don't attend, I will hunt you down and launch horrible combo's at you until you are mortally wounded/I get bored. (Storm Cancer 145S: Expect It, All Over Your Face)
I’d love it if everyone could make it (and let’s be honest, we’re in Perth, it’s not like there’s anything else to do), but that probably won't happen. However, if it goes well, I'll look at hosting another, and work it out schedule-wise with the people who couldn't make it to this one. Because I'm a pretty cool guy like that.
So yeah, let's do this thang.

Speaking of which, you guys need to pm me with what you want :p
Yeah, my tourney's in a couple hours, hah. I'll probably lose though
Which we'll need to work out next time. We'll see. A month or two, max. Might do something in between, but yeah, probably nothing official right away, I want some free 1v1 play, and relaxation, instead of competitive pressures
Winning combo was MF-H Basalt Kerbecs TH220CS. Not invincible, but very convincing. I used a similar combo earlier in the tourney that's very good, maybe a little riskier in some cases, better in others. I used a bunch of stuff, but that CS combo was by far the best.
Tokyo Boyy's MF-H Basalt Kerbecs 230CS pretty much won him every match (along with some great shooting), including against my first combo (which would have done better if I'd not chosen the wrong height... Derf). Only upon being in a mirror match with it's slightly shorter offspring did it finally topple and die (much to my relief). Still, it's a scary thing.

Ahahahaha, more like "Applied that TH170 to a combo". Seriously ridiculous track But yeah, thanks very much man!
Also: we learnt one thing: When I don't get enough sleep, my short term memory is like swiss cheese I am glad SDamonCronous was much more attentive than me.
Oh, forgot to say
Thank you to everyone who came and competed and made this day great. You were all excellent, and I couldn't ask for much more from you as attendees. It was really nice to meet you all, and I'll definitely be hosting again in future (probably the near future)
Of course, we all need a bit of time to practice, or it'll just be a rematch, and I need to get some new parts and stuff, so it won't be right away. Keep that in mind, okay? If it's a little further away, it makes it a bit more likely I'll have this ordering thing sorted.
So, I hope you all had a good time, hey

Hm, you seem to be really against that sort of Basalt combinations winning all the tournaments usually, and replacing 230 with TH170 is not necessarily something that someone needs to be fully awake to think of.
@Jaydevilman: No exact date, but within the next couple of months. Organising a tourney isn't that easy, and I have other things to do outside of beyblade.
Thanks Sam

BTW: FWIW Bluezee and Kai-V, the combo's I used, while better than a lot of things against MF LLD BD145LRF, are still only 50-65% against it from what I've seen.
Writing up all these results, fun fun
