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. Wink



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. Wink

~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. Joyful_3 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. ^^;

Can someone post me the link to the leaflet please. I know it is somewhere but I can't remember where. Anyway, the place a said I can do does not do posters mainly because they don't have any window space since they show what they sell behind the window, it is only a small shop but they do take leaflets so maybe if I can get some of them done then that should be ok.

Yeah, thats it, thanks. Does it have to still have about BWR on it though?
No, we have a different one for Spinoff. I don't have a link at the moment but I'm not exactly sure if it'll be worth it at this stage? Confused

Well, you never know but I think you are right.
Stressing...Stressing...Stressing...Stressing. Everything better damn well come together by saturday *bites nails*. We will need to put together a list of people we can expect to turn up for the tournament, like a register. This just makes it easier to get an idea of the turn out.
Stressing makes everything considerably worse, trust me.
The worst than can happen is things go wrong, and you just get left with a good sized group of people beyblading, which is still a pretty good feat to achieve.

Obviously I am not so sure about the last few, either because it looks doubtful or because I don't really know much about them. There are a number of people who said they would come beforehand but haven't commented so much since everything got official. And of course, I should hope there would be at least a few people who want to blade on the day.....I could be wrong but I think dieddead and/or Aqua had some mock lists that may be better than this aspecially as I just thought this up on the spot. ^^;

I'm stressing too, you're not alone. ^^;

EDIT: V I totally didn't until like two seconds ago. XP
I'm stressing over the damned leaflets, Rocky, you know what I'm on about. Lets leave it at that regarding it.

The list had a massive number of errors in it, it was based off of the list from the original forum topic, a lot of members had dropped out, and one or two didn't even have any Beyblades at the point the list was made Tired Starting a new topic for attending Spinoff might be a better idea if Brad could put it in the news section, asking people what day(s) people will be attending, and if they'll be entering the main tournament.
Another topic? When we're so close anyways? At the end of the day we can't be sure if any of these people will turn up anyways and there could be more at the Expo anyways. I wouldn't object if Brad felt that it was a good idea but we don't even know if people will check it and such.....
Here's the attendee list again. I've been updating it as I've been hearing confirmations, dropouts, etc. A lot of people still have to confirm that they're going though.

For which part of the list?

And is Chozen still planning to attend or/ and compete?
*EDITED*

Sorry forgot to edit lol. Rocky and Blitz need to be removed from Sunday only. Myself and Blitz need to be added as co-host or whatever you want to call it. We are supporting Rocky at this event. You also need to remove Rocky from confirmed because she is host.


I'm also circulating a PM to everybody on Aqua's list.

(May. 15, 2009  12:03 AM)Aqua Wrote: For which part of the list?
Mm, I think everybody has already been PMed. I mean go ahead but I'm not so sure it'll make a big difference at this stage. Small issues:
LeeDraciel is in both the 'confimred' and 'unconfirmed but unlikely' lists
Agitation is in both the 'confirmed' and 'uk members etc' lists
Munkerz is in both the 'confirmed' and 'sunday only' lists
I believe beysharkboy and BEYKID247 are coming
I have a similiar list but, as it had such errors, I didn't see the need to post it. Confused

I believe Chozen isn't coming. It would not make much sense for him to mail me prizes if he was......
could some one add me to the competing list please. Also if theres a soecial forum i need to join can someone link me to it please?
You don't need to join a special forum, just the WBO which you clearly have already done. Grin I can't edit Aqua's post but you're on my mental list. XD

cheers.
Am i right in assuming your the lass sams been trying to chase up for a laptop?
Mm, not sure. I've found a laptop now but he may have been asking some other people for one before? Tongue_out
IMPORTANT

This is the most accurate and up to date list for the WBO Sanctioned Beyblade Spinoff Tournament hosted at the MCM Expo on the 23rd May 2009. I have sent PM's to everybody. If you can PM me back as soon as possible to let me know whether you will be attending the tournament or not. The tournament is the main concern. If your going to turn up for free-battles as well then you do not need to let us know, you just turn up.

There are still problems with that list. Problems I've already drawn attention to. I will edit the first post if you wish, assuming that's what you meant. Tongue_out
So I adjusted and made some changes to the previous list. Should be fairly accurate now.

Yeah, there are some mistakes in that list Espio Wink
A few quick questions.

What format is this tourney (eg swiss, round, robin, knockout ect)
How many rounds? and is there a cut for knockouts?
Any prizes for 1st ect
