Depending on how it was done, it could be a little tacky. It would not be a bad idea if we were having poster problems but we're not; we're having pamphlet problems. It is not worth worrying about.

Yes, you read that right, Spinoff is back on!
After a little negotiation the guys at the MCM Expo have agreed to give us some space for the tourney. Awesome, right? Now here's the hard part: forget everything you have previously heard about Spinoff. Seriously, it'll just confuse the hell out of you. Let's start a fresh, okay?
Okay. Spinoff is now a two day event. It'd be great if you could make both days but if you can only make one then that is fine too. We will have the main tourney on Saturday 23rd. It is scheduled to start at 12:00. This may be pushed back till like 12:30 if people are stuck in queues, etc, but no later than this. If you want to take part you must have registered before then. We will have free battles and demos to the other Expo attendees on both the Saturday (when we're not doing the tourney) and the following Sunday. We may have a mini tourney on the Sunday, depending on the number of people.
The actual tourney will start at roughly midday on the Saturday. If you've put down that you're coming and I can see you're not there then I can wait a bit but I'd like to get it started around that time. I'll post a picture or something later but for now, my number is *number deleted because you don't need it anymore*. Use as appropriate (running late, can't find us, etc.)
As Spinoff is now being hosted inside the Expo, you must buy a ticket. You can either buy a Fast Track Ticket that will allow you early and relatively queue free access to the event, or you can turn up on the day and buy a ticket when you get there. However, if you do this then you may have to wait in some pretty long queues. For that reason, it is advised that you order tickets in advance. For more inormation, please look here: http://www.londonexpo.com/show_information/tickets.html
Transport to the Excel Center is easy as it has very close train and DLR links. Just start at the Excel Center and work backwords to your house! If you have any queries on how to get there then please PM me so I can help you out. Alternatively, this may be of help: http://www.excel-london.co.uk/visitors/travel
It would be nice if you could PM me or post to say you're definitely coming but if not then don't worry. In any case, spread the word and bring along as many friends as you can!
If you have any other questions or queries please ask here or PM me. I'll be sure to answer quickly. If it is a smaller question I would appreciate it if you PMed me rather than spamming up the thread. Thanks a lot in advance.
Obviously the most important part is that we all get to meet and battle each other, but, as an added bonus, we have some prizes.
~Saturday~
1st Prize: 4x RBV2
2nd Prize: 3x RBV2
3rd Prize: 2x RBV2
~Sunday~
1st Prize: 1x RBV2
2nd Prize: 1x RBV2
3rd Prize: 1x RBV2
For those of you who are curious, RBV2 is a pretty awesome RB. Most of the blades in it have good parts, and there's the chance of getting a Libra which is obviously a staple part. Here's what you could win:
Aquario 105B
Aquario DF145SF
Bull DF145HF
Libra 100F
Libra D125HF
Pisces D125BS
Virgo 100B
Virgo 125BS
It seems an attendance list is necessary so.....here we go.
It'd be great if anyone who is 'unconfirmed' could confirm whatever their answer may be as soon as possible. I do apologise if there are any mistakes, I'm sure you can understand that with all the 'it's on', 'no it's off', 'no it's on', 'no it's off' stuff, it is a little confusing. ^^;

I am hesitant to put any more than that. I don't want people to be put down for something they had no intension of going to and then people getting annoyed at them for it. ^^; Who knows, I may have already put too much. :X
As you can see on page 12, Espio is working on another list but let's wait a little till that's updated here. :3

No sorry mate you can use them for the free battles but for the actual tournement everyone is using metal fight beyblades, you may be able to lend one while there but they are very limited.
Or if there is another to go round, he can borrow one from the bunch of RBV2's we have. 
Random Booster Volume 2. Contains one of either:
Aquario DF145SF
Aquario 105B
Bull DF145HF
Libra 100F
Libra D125HF
Pisces D125BS
Virgo 125BS
Virgo 100B
It's a pretty awesome RB, and it's what the prizes are gonna be made of. Actually, unless anyone has any objections, I'm thinkin this for prizes:
~Saturday~
1st Prize: 4x RBV2
2nd Prize: 3x RBV2
3rd Prize: 2x RBV2
~Sunday~
1st Prize: 1x RBV2
2nd Prize: 1x RBV2
3rd Prize: 1x RBV2
And then opening the two most rubbish RBV2s and letting people borrow these (and buy them on the Sunday if they wish). I think we'll have enough for a Sunday tourney but if we don't then those beyblades can be sold to people there or, if there's really no-one that wants to buy them then they can be sold here. Obviously, all money would go back to Brad.
I'd rather many people one stuff than three guys winning everything. If I entered both days and happened to place both days I'd probably give one away.
Geez, twenty pages in fifteen days. :\

Lol, I know but I thought you guys might have high expectations. I mean I don't expect us to be as amazing as BWR but their prizes are gonna be insane. XD Anyways, it's settled now, those will be the prizes. :3
Spinoff will be great no matter what
So now we know everything we need to know?
Pretty much. I would edit your first post rocky, so as it states the time we plan to hold the tournament, prizes etc =D.
Yes all questions answered =) this is going to be so sweet! Really can't wait
Mm, that's a good idea. First post updated.
Ladys and gents, mostly if not all gents. I have had a sleepless night last night worrying over there leaflets. Fortunately, whilst playing my 360 at 5:30 am, im glad to announce that we will have leaflets for the event. They are currently out on delivery. Rocky, bring whatever you have sorted out as well. We will have 1000 or more leaflets for the 2 days. Will see everybody tomorrow! I look forward to it. Everybody will be impressed with the work that mainly rocky has done. See everyone soon!
So what kind of tournament format are you guys following? 
If it's a traditional pyramid style tournament, you could just create a fourth place prize.
Or have a raffle for the remainders. 50/50 the raffle so the total amount of ticket cost was double the RBV2's worth.
Geeze, if those are your prizes, I wonder what ours will be.

I gaudy removed my number because it is on longer needed.
Lol, I'm not gonna print any off now. No way do we need more than that anyways. XD Plus mine'd just look inferior. ^^;
And it's Round Robin, Dei. Plus your prizes are going to be insane. o_0

If you have more than twelve, don't do full round robin. At End Game, we did round robin with eight people and this literally took hours. Do round robin in a block system. If you have three stadiums, do three blocks. That way you can do a finals round robin block.
Everybody that is going to the MCM Expo London. You may want to check the travel section of the MCM Expo website. There are major works going on on the DLR and Jubilee lines over the weekend. The MCM Group have provided the fastest alternative for visitors.
To get a return route just use the tfl.gov.uk website. Or alternatively, just take the reverse route of the one you took to get to Expo.

I have two WBO wallpapers we can use for the desktop to give a more professional feel to the whole thing, assuming we get internet connection. I will be bringing my memory stick regardless =D.

We were planning on BRR Dei. Driger thats hilarious. XD
BIG NEWS

Just showing off the desktop wallpaper we plan on using for the Spinoff. This is assuming we use the laptop and have it available for the public to use:
