Hi everyone! We have an indoor venue again for January's tournament:
Ataque de Año Nuevo (roughly... "New Year's Attack" in Spanish)

Please note that the location for this month's tournament is in Washington, DC - not Silver Spring. After nearly 2 months of searching and receiving price quotes from various schools, community centers, hotels, etc. this is the only option that I can reasonably afford - so this is where we are going to be until the Spring.

The Marriott Wardman Park Hotel is located about 100 yards west of Connecticut Avenue on Woodley Road. Parking in the surrounding neighborhoods can sometimes be challenging due to the close proximity of the National Zoo, so please plan to either arrive early to find free parking, arrive whenever and pay for parking, or take the DC Metro Red Line to the Woodley Park / National Zoo station and a very short walk to the hotel.

Date: Saturday, January 21, 2011
Location: The Marriott Wardman Park Hotel: 2660 Woodley Road NW · Washington, DC 20008 (We will be in the McKinley Room) https://www.marriott.com/hotels/maps/tra...dman-park/
Registration: 11:00am - Noon
Start time: 12:30-ish
Surface: Carpet!
Fees: $5 Room Fee + Standard WBO fees: $5 entry fee or $10 for a Blader Passport that gives you free tournaments for a year
Prizes: TakaraTomy beyblades TBD. 1st place picks first prize from the pool, etc. etc.

Please post to this thread if you plan to make it!

Next month we should have a tournament with ir spin control beyblades, I think that would be cool. just for fun, not for points.

Nah about 75% of us don't really care about RC beyblade....I think it just a waste of 15 bucks

Well, in all fairness if someone wants to have a side tournament with RC beys, or dark wheels only or M145Q or whatever, its fine by me. The only thing is that it would have to happen before the tournament starts or after the tournament ends.
I usually prefer if hosts focus first on the actual event and then on whatever superfluous event afterwards, not before, but since you are an experienced host and everything, I suppose it is up to you ...
Right, I guess my response wasn't as clear as it could be. What I'm trying to say is that whatever happens during free play (organized by someone else) is not really my concern.

I don't have the time available before or after a tournament to run a side event, but if someone else does then that is fine with me.
=D i think its safe to say im coming to the tourny!
i cant wait to win this tournament
I'm coming and with new combos! Also Arupaeo are you going to be selling attack stadiums? I'm going to buy one this time.
