THE PARK OFFICIALS MAY ASK US TO MOVE. We have a lot more people than expected. PM me to get my cell phone number. If you show up and we are not there, you can call the number to find out where we are. I can't be responsible for people who do not heed my warning.

Alright people, we just had a tournament in NJ so now it's time for a tournament in Central Park. Let's do this.

Enter the Frozen Garden Cup.

Here are the two videos from the Autumn Shakespeare Tournament:

FROZEN GARDEN CUP
Saturday, February 14th, 2009 (Raindate is Sunday, February 15th)
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. The reason this is an hour and a half earlier than the last one is because nightfall is coming upon us much more quickly now in the winter. It is dark by 5 PM.

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

The map is revised now because the subway station doesn't dump you off right at the mouth of the transverse. So are the instructions.

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, MFB Balance, and MFB Stamina 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 I don't think, but we have a lot more this time around so we may be asked to move.

Plastic format.

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

The first tournament will be the ice tournament. It will be conducted in either a frozen MFB Attack or a frozen MFB Balance. It will be plastic format.

Here are some pictures of an ice stadium:

I might not be able to make those dates. I might have AP English classes those days
Running the tournament on the 7th, the frozen stadium may not be an option. It's supposed to be 55 on Saturday. I can have the stadium frozen, but it won't last that long on the day of the tournament. We'll see.

I'd rather just run it on the 7th.

Maz, will you come with our current number of attendees? (four and possibly more)
I'm possibly bringing someone. I forgot to mention this.
For God's sake guys it's five days away. Get your carp together and give an answer.

Jesus, if I were Evan I wouldn't bother hosting tournaments for you guys.
Whos going?
Also can we decide on what stadium to use? I dont wana have to prepare a combo there.
MFB Attack. Tornado Attack if someone brings it, but otherwise it's MFB Attack.
I never seen it but im assuming its small right? Comparable to TBTS?
No, it's average size. It just has wide openings. It's the same size as Tornado Attack.
Never used it. What would you recommend? Attack combos?
Yeah, they're a bit more effective in this stadium.

Alright guys. It's fairly clear this is going to be a wash on the 7th. I'm sorry Cye, but I'm going to reschedule for the 14th (V-day). I hope you can still make it.

Thanks all you guys who haven't even bothered responding. Really considerate.

Cye and you other guys, if you still want to get together in the city on Saturday we can. I'm up for it. Afi will spend the night at my place and we'll get up and go into the city. I really want to meet you.

But the official cup will be on the 14th.

Updated first post:
New date
More ice stadium photos
I'm not going to wait at Penn Station any longer unless someone needs me to. I don't want to have the stadium in the heat of Penn Station for that long.
Wow, there's already six people that are going and 14 people total. Come on guys! Let's make this a big one!
I don't have a class on the 14th. I'll be there.
Ten people on the "for sure" list!
Im going to be with my girlfriend that day i cant make it. =[. If for any reason anything changes ill let you guys know.
Aww. That's alright, we still have eleven on the list.

This is going to be the most epic tournament ever.
Chances of me coming have increased. Epic stadium will be epic.
Sorry Anubis that I didnt pm you back i havent been on here in awhile. I spoke to you earlier. I really hope i can skip the party this would be really really sick. I hope w can get these people to go to one in NJ some time next month. Who is dekailo again? sounds so familiar
It's alright.

Deikailo was on OtC a long time ago. She attended the East Coast Championship and the World Championships.

This tournament is going to be epic.

This is where everyone comes together. It's everything we've always trained for. I can feel it~


This is the grand battle, everyone. Prepare yourselves.
I really wanna make it to this. Im gonna see if i can work some magic on my gf.
Did you actually freeze your Draciel? Awesome..!

EDIT: Now I know Neva Mind the question...
No, that's just a clear Draciel S. I just thought it looked nice in the stadium.
Ah... Good to know It looked so much really like Ice LOL XD Tongue_out

Guess It's because I've never seen a Crystal Draciel S So close..!

Don't forget the North American Championships. ;]

I ranked in the East Coast. On the Beyblade website, I'm the girl in the standings when you view the picture of the winners for the east coast.

Evan, my friend Carmelo is coming, too. Don't forget Josh (Ryuki). He'll prolly bring Jairo.
