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:
http://www.amnh.org/museum/welcome/direc...?src=pv_vi
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:

RULES!
Frozen Stadium
NO HMS
NO MFB
They will destroy the stadium very quickly. We can play with them in the stadium after the ice tournament, though.

I will definately try and go this time. It all goes down to my parents decision. Since I'm already enrolled in a lot of things, it all really depends. If I do go, more than likely I would end up going on the train with you, but I shouldn't jump the gun yet. I will update you as soon as I can.
Alright, thanks. This tournament is gonna kick some carp if we get enough people.

I just said that the main tournament is plastic.
We can battle with HMS and MFB too, but that's not the main tournament setup.
Yeah, that was a weirdly late post.....I'm guessing I 'viewed new posts' and then only read the first page? ^^:
Alright well we have a lot of people on the list. Eight!
I'm gonna talk to AlphaOmega (and Caryl), Clair, and Harclave and see what I can get from them.

Also we're experimenting with stadiums made from ice, so we might bring something along the lines of an MFB Balance stadium made entirely of ice.
I've always wanted to blade on an ice stadium.(I can't come, though =()

MFB Attack Ice Stadium prototype. It has pitting in the bowl because of the way I made it... I filled it with snow and water, not just water.
The MFB balance and attack ice stadiums are forming now with just water. Not only water, but distilled water. They will freeze completely clear.

amaziiiiiiing
That's really cool. Does is it really sturdy?
It is very sturdy. It should hold up to impacts for a long time. It's too bad we can't really battle in this one right now...
You see, I have to leave early in the morning on the 22nd, so I'm not sure if I'll have more pictures before I come back. But I should be able to see if this different method works properly.

Like I said before, Its awesome, and when you get the next ones done, they will really look nice (CLEAR omg). Good job on 'em.
That's freakin' amazing! XD I have also been trying out the whole blading on ice thing, but how'd you manage to create a stadium made entirely of ice? It seems like a lot of work. 
Btw are you planning on using this in the tournament?

Nice work on the Frozen Stadium Thing but... um... won't it melt or sumthin?
Unless he puts it in a freezer or something, I assume he has it somewhere cold enough to keep it frozen. It's prolly cold enough to just keep it outside right now.
I'm Such an idiot. Forgot. Now I know why. NVM the question.
XD OK Thx. Guess I needed that
That is really awesome.
Just an update on my part: I'm definitely going. Its not a maybe. My beyblade stuff is back with me. Would you like me to bring a Tornado Balance? I've got a brand new one from BND!

Sounds like a plan.

I'm trying to perfect the stadium. There's a large bulge that forms on the stadium surface due to the expansion of the freezing water, so I think maybe freezing in 1/4" layers might give the results I'm looking for.
does the Tornado Ridge still work?
![[Image: promotion.jpg]](https://a.random-image.net/strikeraxis/promotion.jpg)
I don't know. I haven't been able to test it yet.
Unless you find a way to keep the ice stadium really cold won't the blades eventually start to dig holes and dents in the stadium floor?
