Alright guys. I'm doing this again. Don't mess it up.
I WILL NOT ADD ANYONE TO THE LIST OF PARTICIPANTS UNTIL THEY SEND ME A PM WITH THEIR NUMBER AND I PM THEM BACK WITH MINE. I refuse to wait at the park for hours and have no way to contact anyone. If I am found in that situation again, I will be at the zenith of unamused. If you really love Beyblade, you want it to grow and flourish. A tournament like this may generate public interest.
AUTUMN SHAKESPEARE TOURNAMENT
Sunday October 26th
Location~ Terrace Area Overlooking Shakespeare Garden off of Belvedere Castle in Central Park
Time~ 1:30 PM-Nightfall, but we'll play it by ear so everyone gets to play. Please be there as early as you can.
I will be heading to Planet Sushi for dinner afterwards. We can walk there pretty easily. It'd be nice to have help carrying all this heavy carp this time. Planet Sushi is on 77th and Amsterdam, which is a couple of blocks west of Central Park. It's kind of a walk because it's many blocks down from 81st, but oh well.
Winter is arriving again. No more heat, no more sweat. Just beautiful crystals and snow. I'm running this event to celebrate the beginnings of winter. I am also running it to commemorate my mother's fight for her life and her prevalence over cancer. The tournament is named aptly because the tournament area overlooks the Shakespeare Garden by the Swedish Marionette Theatre.
HOW TO GET THERE
I WILL WAIT AT PENN STATION IN FRONT OF THE TRACKS BAR AND GRILL NEXT TO THE LONG ISLAND RAILROAD (LIRR) TICKETING BOOTHS AND TIMETABLE BOARD FROM 12 PM TO 12:30 PM. You may meet up with me there if you wish and travel with me to the park via the C train. If you have any concerns or special requirements, contact me directly.
Conveniently, the Museum of Natural History is right where you need to be. Ask anyone at the stations how to get there or go here for more information on travel from various places:

From Penn Station or Port Authority Bus Terminal, you are going to want to get on the C train subway uptown. This will take you a few stops to 81st Street- Museum of Natural History. When you get off of the subway, there is an entrance to the museum. I do not know if you have a choice to exit the subway on the street or not, but you should be able to get out and find yourself facing the park on 81st street and Central Park west.
You can also take the 1 train to Broadway and West 79th Street. It is close, but taking the C train will get you closer to the park and the area you need to be. The 1 train will not stop at Port Authority Bus Terminal.
FROM THE MUSEUM/81ST AND CENTRAL PARK WEST

I want to warn everyone not to exit the park through the 79th Street Transverse. Only enter this way. Our goal is to leave the park before nightfall. When it starts getting dark, the tunnels on the Transverse become dangerous. I will bring a Central Park Map with me. I will accompany people out of the park and to the C train when the tournament is over, and then the ones who want to catch sushi dinner will stay with me and I will accompany you afterward.
You want to cross the street to get to the park. From there, you will turn right to enter the 79th Street Transverse. It is a road. There are cars traveling along the Transverse.The Transverse comes off of 81st street on the North side of the Museum. Stay on the left side of the Transverse. Keep walking. You will pass through a couple of tunnels. There is one particularly rocky and natural looking tunnel with pipes hanging from the ceiling. There will be an entrance to the park immediately after this tunnel to the left. Go up the stairs, then go left towards the castle and walk to the top of the castle via the main stairway.

Here you can see a diagram I have made of the castle. After you get to the top of the stairs, turn left and go down the other set of stairs there. You will encounter an area with green grassy areas and benches on either side. Walk forward, and you will see a split path. Go straight ahead to the stairs that go down around a garden of greenery, and you will be at the tournament location, which overlooks the Shakespeare Garden. There's a big stone bench with spirals on either side, and the stone bench sits atop a slightly raised oval-shaped area. If I'm not there and nobody else is there, call my cell phone. Here are pictures of the bench in the tournament area so you know what I'm talking about.

Okay, finally.
RULES
Bring a stadium if you want to. We don't have Tornado Balance or Tornado Balance Type S. I'll be bringing MFB Attack and MFB Balance Stadiums.
Park Rules: Just don't bring any amplified sound devices like boom boxes and we should be fine. We really don't have enough people to warrant obtaining a permit.
HMS/Plastic, whatever goes. Round Robin style tournament.
The tournament is best three out of five. This means that you battle your opponent up to five times to determine the winner. If you win three battles, then you will win. If you are tied, then there will be a best two out of three tiebreaker match to determine who will win.
RULES!
Tornado Balance
NO BEARING CORE.
Tornado Balance Type S
NO CIRCLE UPPER
NO SAMURAI UPPER
NO GRIP FLAT CORE
NO GRIP FLAT CORE ULTIMATE MODE

Prizes? We'll each put five dollars in and the winner gets all of it. You may bring donation prizes if you wish. Either that or everyone gets their money back and I'll buy the winner dinner at Planet Sushi. Choose one!
ATTENDANCE LIST
I will not be fighting in the tournament unless we get very few people. I don't really want to, to be honest. I just want to watch you guys play, "deejay", and play matches for fun.
Clair
AlphaOmega
Caryl (with AlphaOmega)
Pinoy Blader
Bluezee maybe (get your carp to the tournament or I'll stick a Bump King in your eye)
Vidkid440 Maybe
My friend White Afi maybe
Cye Kinomiya maybe
NOTES
I can change the date to Saturday, but Clair told me she could not come on Saturday. If it hadn't been for her last time, I would have been completely alone and it would have been a much more terrible experience than it was. She can come for sure on Sunday, so I would like to have it on Sunday. I'll only change the date to Saturday if many of you cannot come on Sunday. Please try to come on Sunday.
Seriously. Let's not carp this up this time. Please? PLEASE?
