BEYBLADE CRUSADE
SATURDAY, MAY 28, 2011
Sheraton Toronto Airport Hotel - Muskoka 3 Room
hosted by AN GAMING @ Anime North 2011
STANDARD (MFB/BMF) FORMAT
9 AM - Free Battle and Set Up
10 AM - Registration for BEYBLADE CRUSADE: Wake Up Call
10:30 AM - BEYBLADE CRUSADE: Wake Up Call
11 AM - Registration for Bladers who have signed up and paid online
11:30 AM - General Registration for BEYBLADE CRUSADE
12:30 PM - BEYBLADE CRUSADE
For the past three years we've hosted our marquee tournament at ANIME NORTH–BEYBLADE'S NOT DEAD! in 2008, BEYBLADE WAR ROOM in 2009, BEYBLADE REVIVAL CUP in 2010–and this year will be no different! In association with the AN GAMING division of AN2011 we will be hosting our tournament this year under the title, BEYBLADE CRUSADE!
No Beyblade? No problem! We're going to try to obtain Beyblades to bring with us so you'll be able to draft the parts to form a full Beyblade (for approx. $10), then you can play and trade with other Bladers before the tournament to hone your skills!
A Blader Passport is not required for this tournament, as AN does not allow event organizers to charge entry fees for events within the convention. However, if you want to support the WBO so we can host even better tournaments with even better prizes in the future, and participate in the BeyPoints ranking System in future tournaments, then you will need one! So, if you wish to purchase one at the tournament, that is still possible. To participate in the tournament, you must either purchase a weekend pass or a day pass at AN (if you wish to participate in all of the events and programming that AN has to offer), or alternatively, AN has graciously created a special $6 ticket this year for people who want to participate only in BEYBLADE CRUSADE.
You can sign up/purchase your ticket here: http://www.formstack.com/forms/?1062968-hwu8IOQkLu
Once purchased, you will receive an e-mail confirmation. On the day of BEYBLADE CRUSADE, present this confirmation to the person registering everyone and you will be given some sort of identification (probably a stamp or wristband).
The people who choose to sign up online and pay their fee can register half an hour prior to general registration. When general registration for people who have not signed up online begins, a second line for the people who did sign up/pay online will be formed as well in case they chose not to arrive earlier. As you can imagine, this second line for people who have signed up/paid already will move quite quickly. So, it is to your advantage to sign up/pay in advance!
The AN tournament has become a tradition of sorts, and while what we've accomplished in the past three years has been great … we are not going to rest on our laurels this time around! We're going to take this tournament to the next level.
How so, you ask? In an effort to build awareness and excitement for BEYBLADE CRUSADE this May we are going to be hosting three tournaments in the upcoming months under the name "BEYBLADE CRUSADE RECRUITMENT SESSIONS". Here's how each of them is going to work:
[Image: RECRUITMENTSESSIONSsmall.png]
BEYBLADE CRUSADE Recruitment Session: 1 - March 26, 2011
- 15 participant limit
- Round Robin
- Top two finishers gain the ability to choose who they face in the first round of BEYBLADE CRUSADE, should they attend.
- Top two finishers from Recruitment Session: 1: Kei & !!!
BEYBLADE CRUSADE Recruitment Session: 2 - April 30, 2011
- 30 participant limit
- Block Round Robin
- Top two finishers gain the ability to choose who they face in the first round of BEYBLADE CRUSADE, should they attend.
- Top two finishers from Recruitment Session: 2: Xman8024 & Pyro
BEYBLADE CRUSADE Recruitment Session: 3 - May 15, 2011
- No limit on participants
- Single elimination
- First place finisher gains the ability to choose who they face in the first round of BEYBLADE CRUSADE, should they attend.
- Top finisher from BEYBLADE CRUSADE Recruitment Session: 3: ElJihado
Hopefully the possibility of gaining this slight advantage in BEYBLADE CRUSADE will be enticing for you all! Along with BeyPoints, Faces, and prizes, of course. And as you can see, it becomes more difficult to procure the aforementioned ability with each tournament that passes. Additionally, the order in which the top finishers choose who they face in that first round will be according to which tournament they placed in, but reversed (ex. If you come in first place at the first Recruitment Session, then you will have the last choice of who you want to face in the first round of BEYBLADE CRUSADE. This way, even if someone else picks you, you can still choose not to face them if you do not want to, thus nullifying their choice, forcing them to choose someone else).
Will you be at AN on Friday night? If so, then you might want to check out our other tournament, BEYBLADE CRUSADE: Roll Call!
We encourage all Bladers, both the brand new and the old to attend BEYBLADE CRUSADE, hosted by AN GAMING! With Beyblade's popularity continuing to rise, and our efforts to make this an even bigger tournament than it has ever been in the past, this has the possibility of becoming the largest tournament we have ever hosted, which means that competition will be fiercer than ever! You don't want to miss it! Hope to see you there!
If you think you'll be able to come to BEYBLADE CRUSADE, please post here and I will start building an attendance list!

Yeah, definitely. Having an excess of Stadiums would be much better than the alternative with how many people that could be showing up.
Looks like I've got some transportation to the event, and then someone who will pick me up later that night.
I can't wait to see you guys.
(And is there a definitive time that it'll be starting on Saturday?)

Woo! Are you going to be at AN on Friday as well?
No, not yet ... still waiting on the schedule to be released. It should be basically the same as last year was, though (we had the room last year from 9am-4pm, I believe. Tournament started at 12pm).

almost completely definitively no for Friday (or Sunday)
I'm pretty much being dropped off on Saturday morning (Not sure of exact time, I'll try for around 8:30-9. Will adjust when schedule is out) and picked up that night.

Aww, okay. At least you'll be there for the most important day!
b.why is it not showing my name on th ateney list

Like Deikailo said ... the time has yet to be determined, and as I said shortly before that in a different post, the time should be similar to what it was last year. Please read.
The AN schedule should be coming out soon, so we'll know the exact time then.
(May. 14, 2011 6:00 AM)Chups Wrote: This is Scarily Massive. Livestream Possible?
Definitely.
AN is a mere two weeks away, are you guys getting pumped?! Well, if you're not, you might now because I have a huge update!
First, Ron has confirmed with me that 50 people have signed up online! Thanks guys! If you haven't already, please do so here: http://www.formstack.com/forms/?1062968-hwu8IOQkLu
Second, the room and time has been confirmed!
- BEYBLADE CRUSADE will be held at the Sheraton Toronto Airport Hotel in the Muskoka 3 Room (a room which is apparently two to three times as large as the room we have had in the past!).
- We have the room from 9am until 6pm, and the tournament will begin at 12:30 PM. Registration will begin earlier. Please see the OP for more details.
If you look at the OP, you might notice one other thing! What's BEYBLADE CRUSADE: Wake Up Call? Well, let me tell you:
SHERATON TORONTO AIRPORT HOTEL - MUSKOKA 3 ROOM
10 AM - Registration for BEYBLADE CRUSADE: Wake Up Call
10:30 AM - BEYBLADE CRUSADE: Wake Up Call
STANDARD (MFB/BMF) FORMAT
SINGLE ELIMINATION - 16 Participant Limit
BEYBLADE CRUSADE: Wake Up Call is a mini-tournament that I'll be hosting prior to the main BEYBLADE CRUSADE tournament. The winner of this single elimination tournament, which will be limited to 16 participants, will win a WHF 09 Gold L Drago 105F and be the final person that gains the ability to choose who they face in the first round of the main tourament.
So, if think you can answer this wake up call ... please do your best to be there! And just to clarify, by no means in this tournament mandatory; it's simply something extra I'm doing for fun (and to encourage more people to come early haha).
Also, I was able to secure a room to host a tournament on the Friday night at AN as well! Click here for more details on that tournament!
Also, how long do you think the line will take to get inside Anime North? As I don't like the idea of waiting out there for a couple of hours, unless there is a line only for Crusade?
And about the CRUSADE.....
Huh What ...... For how much? When? Where? Are we allowed to use customized Beys?
Please Reply!

The room we've got is supposed to be two to three times as large as the one we have had in the past, so I'm hoping that we fill it relatively well, but that it isn't overcrowded haha.

Sorry, there is no "sign ups" for Wake Up Call! Whoever is there first on the morning of the tournament and signs up will be entered.
The actual line up to get a day/weekend pass for AN outside the TCC can take hours ... but if you're looking to simply purchase a pass to participate in BEYBLADE CRUSADE, you can just walk into the hotel, find the Muskoka 2 Room where the tournament is happening, and then purchase your pass from us there.
