Admission
cash
Hey, guys! I'm back with another Austin tournament. This time, I hope there will be more attendees than the last tourney. So here is a quick description of the tournament...

Name: The Cold War (no pun intendid)

Date: December 30th, 2011- I chose this day because this is when people are coming home from winter vacation and are getting ready for the New Year. Be sure to be there by 3pm, because we'll be starting 10-15 minutes afterward.

Venue/Place: Zilker Park (in downtown Austin)
• There are multiple playscapes and a train for younger children who are not participating in the tournament.
• In case it rains, there is pavilion that we can still battle under.
• If you're hungry, there are food shacks! Yay, FOOD!
• There is no admission required to get into the park.
• BRING A JACKET BECUASE IT WILL BE COLD, MAYBE BE WINDY, AND MAYBE RAIN!
• WE WILL BE MEETING AT THE PAVILION ACROSS FROM THE TRAIN STATION, LIKE LAST TIME! Here's a map if you need one: http://maps.google.com/maps/place?rls=co...0648831302.

Expected Turnout: I estimate that around 15 people will come. I REALLY hope that more people will come than last time. The pavilion can cover at least 25 people -- add a few, take a few -- so we're good if it rains. Remember that the more people we have, the more stadiums we need to make it run fast and smooth!

Confirmed Attendees: (* means that person is going to make an account)
1. JAM20100511 (bringing a TT Attack Stadium)
2. Beyblader51

13. fluffnugget (probably)

"Maybe" Attendees:
1. broughboys
2. Justustify's friend*
3. Justustify's friend*
4. Justustify's brother*

Format: If we get a minimal amount (x < 12 people) of people, it will be best to do a Round Robin style Format. That went pretty well last time. If we get 12+ people, we'll swtich to a Round Robin Block style format. I've seen both formats in play, so I know what to do.
• EDIT: We are now officially switching to the Round RObin Block Format because we have the minimal amount of 12 people for that format!

Stadiums: I, myself, have a Takara Tomy Attack stadium and a Hasbro stadium. You can bring all the stadiums you like, but we can only use the legal Takara Tomy stadiums! If you have a TT stadium and wonder if it passes, contact Kai-V, give her a brief description of your stadium, and let her decide. If you want to support us and get one yourself, here's a link to a good stadium (the one I have): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Beyblade-Attack-...1e68b45a51

Prizes: I just finished working on a Boy Scout requirement (I'm not kidding) and I saved half of the $50 I intended to earn. So I will buy the prizes with $25 (and maybe a bit more) to spend. I hope I can buy some Takara Tomy Blades, but we'll see on the costs and stuff like that. I'm planning to get 3 Blades (one for each place). First place gets first pick, and so on. But if we get more people, I will increase the prizes! If you have prizes (preferably new), please contact me. I'm gonna leave the prizes a mystery, though...

EDIT: I have bought all 3 prizes. We don't really need any more. Grin

Fee: There is no fee to get into the park, but there is a fee for the WBO. The fee is $5, unless you have a Blader's Passport (free admission). If you say you have one, I will personally check for it, so don't lie!

PROMO CARDS: A lot of you guys said that you need some more info on these. Well, Promo Cards are WBO official card that you can pass on to other bladers that don't know about the WBO! Check out this thread if you want a full description: http://worldbeyblade.org/Thread-WBO-Prom...ution-done.[/i] If you want some, tell me you guys' address, city,a and state in which you live. Then, I'll tell the Area Representative to send me few more so I can send some to you guys!

Other Info: First, tell your Bladin' friends about this epic tourney. If they don't have an account, show them how to make one, or have them make one at the tourney. Bring jacket, please! It will be cold (it is a cold war). If you bring a stadium, it may be good if you bring a large blanket to cushion beys that get knocked out of the arena. I am just a dude wanting to bring some Beyblade epicness to Austin during the winter break. Last time, we had an uber time, but couldn't share it with others because we only had 8 people. Let's make it REALLY GOOD! As in like, good enough to be better then good. Never mind.

If the stadium you posted a link to is the one you claim is an Attack Stadium, you're wong, it is not a Takara-Tomy Attack Stadium.
Roxas4 is right. It's definitely illegal.
Yea the tourney iz official everyone get ready for The Cold War itz gonna be tough
It is illegal. Kai-V told me! BTW, it says it was made by the ALADDIN CORP., NOT SONOKONG!!!
I bought in from JP but you may be right but it said on the box which I have TT Attack Stadium and it says TAKARA Tomy on the box
Really, it may say that, but the logos themselves may not match. Just trust me. Grin
are wide square stadiums legal are ilegal because i have one thats sonokong.

Hey Justustify is my brother put me on the possible I might not go, My freind gave me his account but I am new and my warning rate is 90% because when I started I was at 90% from my freinds bad conduct. So I better watch out to what I do.

Make a new account bro.
Justustify... DON'T POST IN THAT THREAD! I'VE ALREADY TRIED, AND THEY'LL ONLY SAY THAT YOU HAVE TO COME TO THEM FOR A TOURNEY. They think it's too far away, which is kind of true, so just be happy with who we have.
Ok, but my brother and I share an email and I use it for WBO. Our parents won't let us use their's so yeah that's just how it is.

Do not use other people's accounts. Make a new email and new account of your own.
Ok, I told him he said He can try to make a new account

Hey JAM20100511, add 2 of my freinds to the possible list please.
UPDATE: We are now switching to the Round Robin Block format for the tournament because we have 12 confirmed people (minimum for that format)! Thank you.
Since if I do go to this tournament, this will be my first tournament, where in the park is it, and can you use TT light launchers or only hasbro launchers
