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. ^^;

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

I think the Round Robin Block System will be used. And yes, there should be prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
List has been fixed. I have removed everybody from the confirmed list until I get word that they ate attending. Until then, we can assume they won't be attending. I have added Newt and the two other guys that are coming with him. Italic names are unconfirmed and bold names are confirmed.

PMs have been sent out accordingly.
hahaha you guys are stressing too much

whoever shows up shows up. don't worry about it

Everyone that were in the previous "confirmed" list actually confirmed that they were going though. There was no need to start all over again lol

Round robin gets worse for the more people that enter. Also how many stadiums do you guys currently have?

It's not Round Robin though, the Round Robin Block System will be used. It's different.
Blitz is bringing one or two stadiums.

I'm bringing all four released MFB stadiums.

Rocky may bring hers assuming she gets everything in time =D.
Blitz is definitely bring two, can't remember about the third. I really doubt I'll get my stuff in time. Pinching_eyes_2 I think we shall be okay on the stadium front anyways though. :3
I'm going to make an order from theINtoy tomorrow. So is there anything I should get? All I'm buying this month is the Carbiner grip so meh. Rocky or Blitz, any suggestions?
^stamina and def set
RBV2
hybrid wheel match set

best stuff in stock there right now imo
Yeah i'm gonna get Hybrid Wheel match set aswell , already got defense stamina.Joyful_3

I already said I was coming.

For this if you haven't ordered your stuff yet, can you buy a couple of Right Luanchers, I bought 4 to lend out, but we will need a few more.
I do have like 5 Beylaunchers I can lend out though... But don't think these will be good for beginners.
Sorry guys, no can do on the order. I have got to many other things that are coming out this month. This is what I intend on bringing:

Wide Square Type Stadium
Attack Type Stadium
Balance Type Stadium
Stamina Type Stadium
x8 additional Rip cords and shooter
x1 additional Beylaunchers
Numerous MFB Beyblades

I'm very hesitant in lending my blades out to the public if they want to enter the tournament. The last thing I want to do is have them stolen. I will let them borrow and have some for demos but only a limited number will be used.
OK, I have very, very good news, I am going for sure now, even if I have to drag myself there or crawl. Travelling by myself is not a problem anymore. Smile

O and Espio, I never got the PM.
You didn't get a PM because I knew you were going =D haha. I would removed you if you replied in here and said you can't make it anyway.

Beyukespio get what you want from theintoy not what other people tell you to get it's your choice .

OK then, I forgot to say that i also have the money now but I don't have an early ticket so that means I have got to line up for one. Unhappy
Was Rocky not selling hers?

Also, regarding the internet at Excel. They don't extend into the actual halls. You could bring the laptop and see if we can get a single seeing as we are near the entrance. We would need to pay for the airtime on the BT Openzone website however.

We can do that on the Saturday if we get a signal. Other than that, if we don't then there is no way of registering new users? The only way I can think of is to take usernames down on a piece of paper and then register them in bulk with a temporary password. If not then we can register using my mobile phone, however, I will be doing all the data entry.
She was but i bought it , because i went to her place to collect it.

Damn! Never mind, I'm sure I will be fine, though lining up is a pain but never mind.
I think your able to line up for the fast track ticket on the day , but don't take my word for it.
