Thank you so much to JesseObre for hosting this event! Regrettably, I will be away in Japan when this event happens, so I was going to be unable to host. But Jesse offered to take over this year. I will be helping to coordinate things behind the scenes in the lead up to the event, but you all will be in good hands with Jesse at the helm during the event!

Hope you guys have a great time!

Also, be sure to grab the early bird offer of $15 before it ends on December 10th (tickets are $20 afterwards): http://animeshogatsu.com/membership/

Haha, no need for that. Let's focus on making a great tournament with 100 players or less. Smile

"Shogatsu" means "New Years" in Japanese. It's just the name of the convention this event is taking place at (Anime Shogatsu).

Thank you for running this event Jesse! Last year is what kicked off my career with the WBO (If you could even call it that) So I'm hoping this will be the start of a new great year of beyblades!

This is a Beyblade tournament, so nothing is necessarily planned to be for sale. Smile However, if anyone attending has things they want to sell, they may post about it here!

The benefit of going to the WBO for tournaments is there is no age restriction. We will have free play for your son to battle in while he waits for his official matches. The first stage of the tournament will last until 3:30 at the latest. However, if we have technical difficulties regarding the brackets and have 100 people arrive this could greatly affect the progress of the tournament. There will be Beyblades to buy if you what to and we will explain the rules when it is time to start at 11:00am-11:30am. Please arrive at least 30 minutes ahead of time before we start so can get in. Always make sure to be ahead of time in case of traffic. If you have preregastered for the tournament but can't come please hit the "Unjoin Tourament" button above at the top of the thread. I hope your son and you have a great time.

This probably won't be determined for a while. But I'd keep on the lookout for when someone's selling! Grin
