END GAME TOURNAMENT
Saturday, April 25th, 2009
Location~ Central Park, Charles B. Stover Bench (C80 on the maps) (same place as last time, I just know the name of the thing now)

Here is a link to the page for it
http://www.centralpark2000.com/database/...tover.html

Time~ 12:00 PM-Nightfall, but we'll play it by ear so everyone gets to play. Please be there as early as you can.

Afterwards, we may go and have dinner. I know of two very good sushi places. One is Sushi A-Go-Go and it's on 63rd and Broadway, and the other is... Lilli something. It's on Broadway and 57th or something. It wouldn't be hard to find. That place is more spacious than Sushi-A-Go-Go and they have bubble tea! And other stuff.

HOW TO GET THERE

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. Exit through the street exit to the left and you should be able to get out and find yourself facing the park right outside of the museum.

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

Okay, there is actually another subway exit right at the mouth of the Transverse. You might come out there instead of on the other side of the museum.

I want to warn everyone not to exit the park through the 79th Street Transverse if you are alone or only in a small group during sundown and NEVER after the sun has fallen below the horizon. 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 dinner will stay with me and I will accompany you afterward.

You want to move left from the subway station until you hit 81st street. From there, you will turn right to enter the 79th Street Transverse. Stay on the left side! 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. 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. It reads "Charles B. Stover". 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 Beystadium Wide Square Type.
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 I don't think, but we have a lot more this time around so we may be asked to move.

Plastic format.

MFBs are welcome. If enough of us actually have MFB, we can have a tournament with them too.

We will be using all standard WBO Rules. Round robin, 3-point Beybattle.

Do what I did when I was your age: walk up to someone and ask

"Excuse me, do have a phone I can use? I'm a little lost and can't find my friend"
Deikailo, I think you're being a little hard on him. He's 11 and he clearly tried his best to make it.

Well I asked this police guy if he knows where a stone bench with the words Charles B stover on it and he said he knows where a stone bench was but he was not sure what it said,So I went there is was some angie stone bench thing,then I met that guy again and I asked him if knew where the museum was,So I went there and then I walked by a bit and found a weather thing (not the station,just something with a banner that says CLIMATE CHANGE) and it was stormed with people.then after that I searched around got tired went home,called you,toke a nap for 2 hours.

Maybe. I felt like kind of a fool. I kept telling everyone that Bladebee was reliable enough to show or at least call.
Bladebee, I don't think anyone is mad at you. At the same time, you have to make sure you have all your ducks in a row next time. Print the instructions. Know what you're doing and where you're going.

Also, even though I do have footage, I won't be doing a video for this tournament.

Aww, why not? :[
(Apr. 27, 2009  6:24 PM)Commie Wrote: Aww, why not? :[

Because it's not worth all the effort for an event where only seven people showed up (great seven people though)
(Apr. 27, 2009  6:24 PM)Commie Wrote: Aww, why not? :[

Because it was like the most unenthusiastic tournament I've ever seen in my life. Three people just didn't really care at all and the anonymous one was like... aggressively apathetic about it

Frozen garden was way better

I'll probably do a short highlights video

And I don't have many photographs, just video
What?! Aww, I thought you had a blast. Unhappy Yeah

We did, but we were really carefree when it came to winning and losing.

This sounds quite different, is what I mean.
I didn't have a blast lmfao

I could have done without it to be honest


I won't be running another tournament for awhile

Well, your Beyblade did.. >_>

Maybe I'm wrong, I think everyone enjoyed themselves otherwise. The tournament was a bust, but I met some nice people. :3 The furries were very cool about everything. Grin
Oh yeah definitely. They're always cool about stuffs.
