Sup, ya'll? This is what we, the Texan Bladers, have been waiting for! A tourney in Central Texas! If anyone (who has a WBO account), wants to join this tourney, post in this thread! And if anyone has a TT stadium, AWESOME! Tell me if you have one, describe it, and if it really is one, bring it! Here's ALL the info:

Date: 8/20/11
Place: The tournament will be at Zilker Park. It's a place in the city of Austin that has a lake, a snack shop, a playscape (for younger kids who may be bored), a train, picnic tables with a roof (if it rains we'll definitely move there), and overall is a very nice, big park that has something for everyone. (Don't worry I'll find some kinda map if you need it.)
Expected Number of People: I'm having a maximum of 24 people. I am thinking that around 16 to 24 people will attend this tourney. If only 8 people make it, 2 prizes (1st and Runner Up). FOR EVERY 8 PEOPLE, I WILL ADD A PRIZE, SO...SPREAD THE WORD!
So far we have:
1. JAM20100511 (Bringing orange TT Attack Stadium)
2. Beyblader51
3. Tokao
4. beymaster78
5. clawna365
6. MatteoBlade
7. JBladerMS
8. AnakinBlader
9. Gamecreator916

Format: This tournament will probably be in a Round Robin Block format, since I have experienced this before, but if 12 or less that 12 people make it, I will change it to a Round Robin format. If I can get 4 stadiums, I'd have 6 people in each, then tak the top 2 from each, then have a Round Robin with those top 2s. Don't be alarmed if the format changes to Double Elimination, as I may have to change the format becuase of the number of stadiums.

Additional Info:
ENTRANCE FEE: AT ALL WBO EVENTS, YOU MUST PAY A $5 ENTRANCE FEE.
Prizes: For every 8 people, I will add a prize, starting out with 2 prizes for the starting 8 people. Here's what the prizes will probably be:
1. TT HELL KERBECS BD145DS!
2. Hasbro Thermal Pisces T125ES
3. Hasbro Burn Fireblaze 135MS
Maps: I would gladly find a link to a Google Map if you guys need it.
Stadiums: We have only 1 stadium, bu that fits the number of people we have.
Rules: Do you guys want me to skim the rules over at the tourney, or you guys read the rules beforehand so we can get straight to battling? I will have a set of rules printed, but reading it would also take some time. I'd suggest you skim he rules before you come.
Blankets: If any of you guys have a big, preferably thick blanket, tell me. It will be used so when a Bey has an out, it won't scratch up. It happened to me and my WD, and I didn't like that.
If you guys have questions or think I forgot something, please PM me or email me.

Hi - My son would LOVE to come. Count us in. We live right next to Zilker. What time? Is it still going to be from 3-5pm? Is it ok if my son is only 6? He has a red stadium he can bring. I don't know the specifics of the model, but it has 3 circles in the middle. LMK if we should bring it. Do you need more blankets or anything else? Thanks, Matteo's Mom Lisa

Any age can participate! Also he can bring his stadium but we cant use it for official because it is hasbro. Also please note people take this "sport" seriously. So please note that we do not make it easy to win and would like to tell you ahead of time that if your son gets upset please remind him that we are all older, some more experience. I guess what I am trying to say is i hope he does not get upset easily.

Nah - he'll be fine. He's just excited to come. What's "thee" best beyblade btw? (I realize it's highly debatable!) At least I could give him a fighting chance. I'll even order him up some crazy one from Japan on eBay if I have to. I'm a great Mom. LOL We'll leave the hasbro at home. Thanks!
We could also build one, too. If we bring the bunch that we have I wonder if someone could reco a good build before the tournament starts. What time is it? I didn't get a reply. Thanks Tokao!
STADIUMS NEED TO BE TAKARA TOMY! GALAXY JAY, THX FOR SPREADING THE WORD, BUT THE TOURNEY IS BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS. TELL ME THEIR WBO NICKNAMES IF THEY CAN COME! THX EVERYONE FOR SUPPORTING!

Ok Good! Since the tournament is close I don't think buying a TT Beyblade is good timing now, but I suggest buy him the Ultimate Blader Pack or Random Booster 8.
SPREAD THE WORD OF THIS TOURNEY TO OTHER BLADERS YOU KNOW IN YOUR AREA!
