If you are under 16, it is mandatory for a parent to stay with you at this event! I cannot stress this enough. You will not be allowed to play otherwise.

It's time for our 3rd CT tournament! This time we'll be holding to tournament at Connecticon, the largest multi-genre convention in the state.

This time we'll be running two tournaments in different formats. First off will be a Zero-G format, and for the first time ever we'll be running an HMS format tournament too!

We'll have plenty of open play to accompany the tournament.

This will be the first time we have swap table available at the tournament. Bring any Beys or spare parts that you're willing to trade and we'll set aside time during registration for people to trade their stuff!

If you're interested (this is completely optional), I'll be setting up an area to create CT Blader Profiles. We'll grab your mugshot, and a short description for use in future tournament marketing.

I'll have some CT Beyblade face bolt stickers to give out to those who attend. Here's what they look like!

I'll also have limited ConnectiCon face bolt stickers to attendees of this event only.

Also, don't forget to add yourself to the BeyMap! CT needs representation! Please don't put your full address. Just city/state.

I think it would be a good idea for people who don't know anything about the WBO to be able to communicate beforehand, & it might attract more attention from people who don't have accounts here; not to mention we wouldn't have to use event threads to talk about things like this haha
We could use it for unofficial team events too, so we wouldn't have to PM. Anyway, the website is a great idea, & I like how it's coming along so far Smile
Edit: Just saw Kai-V's post above mine. I can definitely understand how that would be an issue
May. 28, 2013  2:41 PM
 
Kai-V: That was my train of thought.

Supreme One: Of course I just as easily follow this train of the thought Smile

I think I may need to find a good middle ground. The site's main goal is for new players who don't find our events through the WBO to learn more about what happens, and get directed here.

The site's second goal is for record keeping, and a single point of access for after-tournament info like pics, etc...

just to let everybody know i will be bringing be zero g stadium.

WTF The Connecticon entree fee is 40$ plus the 5$ for the tourney that is carp!
May. 29, 2013  12:37 AM
 
EDIT: My mistake. A Saturday day pass IS $40. That's pretty steep Smile

Don't worry. There will be other tournaments if you can't afford this one. The reason I chose to hold one at Connecticon was for the high foot traffic through the convention center, and the ability to really put on a good show for the public eye.

I got a full weekend pass for $50 a while back. It probably won't be as good a deal now, but I'd suggest getting the full 3 days to get the most of your money; it doesn't cost too much more.
May. 30, 2013  11:49 AM
 
Ill still be there but I really didnt wanna spend that much......hopefully it is worth it.

FYI - The Sunday pass is only $25 as opposed to $40 on Saturday. Any chance the tournament could be moved to Sunday? If kids under 16 have to be accompanied by an adult, that's $80 for a Saturday tourney.

That's true. But the date is confirmed, I don't think it can be changed Tongue_out
I'd rather do it Sunday, but it looks like its solid. Uncertain
Jun. 02, 2013  9:30 PM
 
Yeah, there are a lot less events on Sunday too, so more people would be more likely to go to the tournament. Unfortunately I think Leone19 is right: the date can't be changed now that everything is finalized.
I'll just have to miss a few of the panels I was looking forward to on Saturday in order to be here :\
I will be leaving a little early though, so I get spots for a MLP panel at 6, so hopefully everything will be over by then.

Unfortunately I was working with the time slot Connection gave me, so I didn't have much say in the matter. Again, I will be hosting more tournaments, so don't feel like you have to shell out all that money just to attend. This tournament is more for those people who are already attending Connecticon.

I'll probably work on another tournament at the Masonic Lodge in Simsbury for September, then probably again in November.
Jun. 02, 2013  9:43 PM
 
Just looked, Nostalgia Critic panel is at 1-2, so I may be a little late. Please don't start without me, because you know I'm coming, haha
Jun. 02, 2013  10:28 PM
 
Well I got my HMS collection together. Now I just need a few staples for the Zero G.
Jun. 03, 2013  12:20 AM
 
Awesome!

Also, Leone, I'll get you in the brackets. We won't be starting the tournament until 2:30 anyway.
Jun. 03, 2013  12:47 AM
 
Thanks! I'm so excited! I hope no run away blades attack me, my Cosplay has taken a while, haha.
Jun. 03, 2013  2:20 AM
 
I'm Leone19's cousin, if I'm visiting that weekend, I might be able to come, not sure though...
Jun. 03, 2013  12:43 PM
 
take me off the list.Crying its all because of my vacation...
Jun. 03, 2013  1:45 PM
 
Sorry to hear that, but hey...vacation! Woo!
Jun. 10, 2013  7:47 PM
 
Updated the OP with a little something I'll be giving away at the tourny for those who attend.
Jun. 10, 2013  7:58 PM
 
I want those stickers! Crying
Dumb vacation.
Jun. 10, 2013  8:25 PM
 
I'll have them at future tournys too, don't worry! Though I may make a some exclusive CTCON ones for the Metal Faces on the prize table Wink
Jun. 10, 2013  8:34 PM
 
This will be awesome! I can't wait!
I'll be there as Iron Man, with BullChamp as Finn Tongue_out

My Haspro may come, depending on when his Boy Scout camp lasts.
Jun. 10, 2013  8:47 PM
 
I was debating dressing an Benkei, but I doubt I could pull it together in time....and I really don't want to shave my beard.
Jun. 10, 2013  10:28 PM
 
Awesome! Can't wait to get one Smile
I'll be there as Kyoko Mogami from Skip Beat lol
