Additional Information: While it would be appreciated if each player brought his or her own parts, feel free to let me know in advance if you won't have any on hand and I will supply additional Beyblades and launchers where needed. Any bladers caught using parts that have not been manufactured by Hasbro, Sonokong, or Takara Tomy or fail to otherwise follow official WBO ruling will be warned and given a replacement Beyblade at the host's discretion if they fail to procure a suitable alternative.

While we're still working to get a minimum of 7-8 confirmed players, we've been given the 'ok' to post the event thread in advance as a special exception due to the fact that the tournament has been approved by the AFO staff and we will be playing regardless of whether or not we can make it official. That being said, we still need a few more players to commit as soon as possible! Please post in this thread if you think you might be able to make it, and if you would be interested in attending a small side event and dinner Friday night Smile

Live in or around Jacksonville? Let me know and I may be able to give you a ride!

TSO bought her ticket already. You do need to purchase a ticket to AFO in order to enter the convention center and participate in the tournament. Tickets are available inside as well. (I'm buying it indoors tomorrow lol)

Only 14 hours until the tournament! While it's a little late over here, I just want to give you all a quick update before the big day.

As I've mentioned before, the tournament will be held in the tabletop gaming room, which is towards the end of the hallway if you enter the building from its side entrance (where the large parking lot is). The convention is a decent size, but the tabletop tournaments today had some trouble attracting players, possibly due to the fact that the room's events weren't printed in the paper schedule. While I can't predict our turnout at this point, we do have a few committed players and will be running 1-2 tournaments regardless of whether or not we hit the magic 7/8. Looking forward to a fun day and hopefully getting a few recruits for future events Smile If you're on the fence about coming, I strongly urge that you consider attending—I've had a great time so far and I hope you all will too!

My friend and I will also be attending the Pokemon Go meetup and some late night panels afterwards (as well as a few panels throughout the day), so feel free to join us if you're interested in something and don't want to go alone!

I'm so excited! I'll probably be shy lmao when I get there but probably not. As for Pokemon Go, oh my God, yes. xD If it's afterwards the tournament, that's great! I'll be arriving before 5, around 2-3. I can stay for a while to reorganize and maybe register.
Oh also, I'll be bringing my camera for footage. Will someone else be filming or?
Jul. 30, 2016  2:12 PM
 
Sounds great! I'll be in the tabletop room by 4:40 or so to get set up Smile As for filming, I don't plan on it since I don't expect it to be a very large event, but if you want to shoot parts of the tournament, you should be able as long as no one there minds.

Oh ok great! And I'll keep that in mind as well. Thanks! See you soon. :'D
I'm also bringing in 2 BB-10s and 2 Burst stadiums.

I'll be arriving around 4:20-30. I might be late, just letting you know.
Also,

The address that's provided for AFO apparently links to some resort near the convention center I believe where the tournament's being held at.

I hope that's the convention center. :\

Good luck with this tonight, everyone! @[The Supreme One], feel free to send any pictures or videos our way as well and we could perhaps post on the WBO Instagram and other social media platforms as well. Smile

I would like to shout out a special thanks to The Supreme One, Xenoblader16, and Brisk AquarioHD for a great time at my first WBO tournament!???
Sorry about the question marks, I was typing to fast
Best day ever
Jul. 31, 2016  1:51 AM
 
Kei Thank you! The tournament was a huge success! The results should be available soon, once I have the opportunity to copy everything to the template and get winning combos. Our placers were Brisk AquarioHD in first, me in second, and Xenoblader16 in third! Thank you to everyone who came out and showed support, especially those who came to the con specifically for the event. Tournament report will be up momentarily.

YES BRISKY

I am happy the event went well! Great to see a successful event a fair sized convention. Thanks for the initiative, TSO, for getting this event to happen Smile I hope some new members were attracted, and that Orlando can host some future events!
Jul. 31, 2016  2:34 AM
 
Ok great and my brother and I were happy to support the WBO today and we hope to join everyone again soon. Everyone was so generous, kind, and trusting enough to let us borrow some other equipment and we really appreciate it and we're trying to update some of our beys and attempting to purchase some new ones and make some awesome fusions and Ragnaruk is so hyped for the next tournament and especially the burst format. And he says thanks to everyone for some "EPIC BATTLES". We hope to see everyone soon. Bye???.

This tournament was amazing! Just hearing everyone yell throughout matches and the deadly suspense just made it amazing! Seeing other people Beyblade and learn about it was a great experience. So many people participated in the beginning and that gave it a big headstart! A big thanks to @[The Supreme One] for hosting this and truly reviving Florida of Beyblade. :') Also, amazing battles! Great combos as well! It was a huge honor to battle you. :'D @[icLeodPegasus], you guys did amazing! Just keep Beyblading and check out threads for making combos, etc to expand your Beyblade knowledge. :'D
@[Xenoblader16] You did amazing and went far throughout the tournament! Joyful_3 I can't wait to someday battle you again! Grin

As for videos and pictures, I will soon post them! Until then, I can't wait for the next tournament! >:3

The results all look good, but what is up with the redhayneragnaruk account? Did you take his email address, does anybody know him and could give it to us?

I believe he is @[icLeodPegasus]' brother. I can ask icLeodPegasus for his brother's email.
