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

If you have bought your entry for the anime convention, then you simply go to the room that will be allocated for the Beyblade event, The Supreme One will be there and once it looks like everyone has arrived, registration will start. Therefore, at that time you simply give your username after lining up with all of the other participants, and the tournament will start shortly afer that. The host or some judges will call matches, and your only job is to show up when your username is called, and you play in that battle.

Oh then take me off the Maybe list I can't afford a ticket to a convention and it's probably too late to get a ticket
As the first post mentions, tickets should still be available on the day of the convention, on site. Therefore, it is not too late.

Well it's still too expensive

I do intend to try hosting events in Florida in the future, but this is the one that has the most probability of success because we're likely to get a few players that aren't WBO regulars. In regards to the convention price, single day tickets are pretty expensive and can only be purchased at the door, but it's only $10 more (iirc) for a weekend pass and those can be ordered online (I got mine a few days ago). This is the largest anime convention in Florida and if that's not your thing, there are several other tabletop gaming tournaments taking place throughout the week, so if there's anything else that interests you at the con besides Beyblade, I can assure you that purchasing a pass will be worth it.In other news, I was able to get in touch with one of the convention organizers, who will move the event back to Saturday in the tabletop gaming room. They're still working out the details right now, but we should know the exact time shortly.

NO PUEDE SER!!
At just 4 hours of distance, on a good free date! And I can't go because I already made plans for another early event!! (;A
...plus I can't drive OTL
If only I could join a group of fans that will also go to the tournament T^T

In the capital of Florida, I moved here like...10 years ago from Baja California, Mexico...even if I can't compete, I want to see the battles in person (/;A;)/
Ah, too bad Florida is made long instead of focused all in the same square. This is probably a major reason why tournaments have not been hosted in that state before: everybody is too spread across the whole length.

I'm about as far from Tallahassee as I am from Orlando and I believe another active member is in that area, so there's always a possibility that we could try something closer to you in the future

The tickets for AFO is $55 for a 3 days pass. It seems like to me that it's the only ticket. I'm getting it, it's not that pricey, at least not around the 70-80 dollar range.

Tallahassee huh? Only if you were in Miami, I would definitely give you a ride. It's 3-4 hours to Orlando from here. ;-;

Just a heads up that Monday is the last day to pre-order weekend passes. The line is apparently much shorter to pick up passes than to purchase them the day of, so I would suggest ordering yours online.
And...only two more weeks until the tournament! I'm getting excited already

Ah, in that case, I'll just go earlier and buy the ticket there. Thanks for letting me know.
As for the unregistered player I asked for you to add to the Maybe list, please take him off. He isn't able to attend. 
Thanks.
Thanks.
Did anyone have to buy tickets to AFO(Anime Festival Orlando) in order to compete in the competition?
