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

That sounds good actually and by the way have we got a laptop or should i still bring mine?
I got my hands on a laptop, dunno if it has a webcam in it. I have a webcam at home but it sucks. I'll see what I can do. XD

I think two would be better for this idea because then we can have a "World Chat" laptop where you can meet our other bladers. I'll tell the Aussies and Indiana bladers about it, too.
Right is probs going to sound really stupid but someone just told me that we can't wear jeans in the expo? lol True?
of course you're allowed to wear jeans. There are people dressed up as cartoon characters; it's not like they give a damn about dress code XD

You still have plenty of time to look around in the Build Me A Combo! thread to read what other people have already said many times about those two beyblades.

Geez, the Spinoff is right round the corner and i can't wait but I still don't know my travel and all that. XD
Edit: That's great news by the way Espio.

LDRAGO PWNS AS THE BEST MFB EVA BEYKIDS MY NAME AND BEYBLADING IS MY GAME
Yeah I didn't know we'd be there that long either but when it takes two people at least two hours to work out how to arrange three tables, things drag a little. XD
Anyways, some pics of our little area (excuse my sudden inability to take a non-blurry pic). Once Espio gets there (as early as possible please?) we'll have a load more posters and two stadiums per table. Also leaflets.
At the moment the laptop is picking up the wireless network from the corridor but it's too far away to work properly and it seems that if you wanna use the hall internet, it costs a bazillion pounds a second. However I have a 3G dongle thing which should connect us to the phone network, so we should have internet, it just might be a little slower. ^^;
Also, a random video of how big the hall is this year. It's not important, just thought some people might wanna see it. Don't blame me if it doesn't work; I don't do videos.

Thanks. :3 I'm gonna have to get up at some stupidly early hour for this. =_= Somewhere near 4:30 I think.
Got my fast track. I will be leaving the hotel at around 8am. I will be the guy with a luggage bag on wheels lol. Also, i forgot to bring a pen to mark my blades. I will only lend out a few of my bits but will have some pieces for demos. Also, 3G loads fine on my phone so it shouldnt be a problem.

Woah, at least you don't have to Travel
See you there guys, I'm going to be shy :3
Oh, and 3G runs OK on my netbook...shouldn't be to bad. Anyways, while a web page loads we can talk about stuff XD
EDIT; Oh yeah you aren't staying in a hotel, got confused with Mr. Espio here.
