Event cancelled due to lack of interest.
Okay, so July 22nd is Plastics Remembrance Day.
You may have noticed that since last year, I've kinda become the site's resident "plastics nut", so of course, come plastics remembrance day, I'll be darned if I'm not gonna be spinning some tops! Also, I have a loss to avenge against r0ckbull!
Don't have any plastics? Don't worry! Just like last year, I'll be lending out tops for the tournament – and this year they will be much, much more competitive. The fewer I have to lend the better, but I could pretty easily lend enough for an entire tournament - and a damn good one at that. If you plan to borrow, there is some stuff in the notes below you should read.
Anyway, here are the details. It's still early days, so things may change slightly, but probably won't, other than perhaps the venue changing to another location in kings park, perhaps.
Date: Sunday, July 22nd, 2012.
Time: Be there for 11AM, absolutely no later.
Location: Variety Pavillion, Kings Park. Here's A Map of Kings Park's Venues It's #33, off Saw Avenue.
If someone knows somewhere central with more shelter that won't cost money, I'd like to hear it! Also, on the off chance everyone who comes lives South of the River, we could do something closer to my place, but I don't think that's very likely
Format: PLASTICS – Not MFB, or HMS (though free play will be open to both and we might do a small HMS thing afterwards, interest/time allowing).
Stadium: Tornado Attack – it's similar to BB-10, but much fairer for plastics, less prone to random KO's and overall much more consistent. It's widely considered the best stadium for plastics.
I'll be bringing my spare beat up one for warm-ups and HMS/Plastic Free Play (no using MFB in it please), as well as my BB-10 for MFB free play.
Attendance Limit: 10 People - We only have the one stadium, and I want to run round robin. This limit means you NEED to make sure you can come before saying so!
ENTRY FEES: $5 for Single Entry, Free for Blader Passport Holders – Blader Passports cost $10 and give you free entry to all WBO events for a year thereafter.
Note: Anyone who bought a passport at 'The Only Show In Perth" or "Perth Plastics Pandemonium", your passports will have expired, so you will have to pay entry or buy another.
Right now I cannot afford to subsidise entry fees, though depending on how some IRL stuff goes, that may change and I might end up paying entry for people who either lend or bring their own.
Prizes: Assuming they get here in time, the prizes will be a choice of either Wolborg 4, Driger G, or Dragoon G. The first two don't have launchers but I'll throw those in, and hopefully enough ripcords will survive to give you one of the longer ones.
First Place chooses first, then Second, then Third gets the remaining bey. I won't take a prize, so if I place, the remaining beyblade will be used either as a "beyspirit prize" or I'll draw a name out of a hat or something, I dunno.
Stuff to bring:
Beyblades: Your own plastics (if you have any), as well as HMS, and any MFB if you want to freeplay with them.
Ripcords: If you have any Takara Light Launcher 1 ripcords or plastics Dragon Winders, please bring them, at least for your own use, even if you don't have a beyblade. Lending them would be appreciated but is not necessary.
Stadiums: If you have a Tornado Attack stadium from the plastics era, and are willing to lend it to us for the tournament if time gets tight and we need to run two stadiums at once, it would be really super cool. Feel free to bring whatever Stadiums for free play, too.
Rugs: I've become very protective of my plastics, and I'm sure the other owners are too, so if you can bring rugs to cover the floor and protect their tips, it'd be really nice of you. I'll try to bring one or two myself, but yeah.
Food and Drinks: PLEASE bring your own lunch/snacks/drinks – I can't afford a sausage sizzle this time, sorry, and I forget whether or not there's any food stands nearby but yeah, please bring your own, and don't complain if you're hungry and didn't bring any.
Again, please make sure you can definitely come before saying so! I would like you to post in this thread before I put your name on the list.
AND YEAH, COME ON PERTH AND WAKE UP - AINT NOTHING LIKE THE SMELL OF PLASTICS IN THE MORNING!
Don't make me drag people off the street!
