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. ^^;

Also, a question I had asked earlier:

how many times aqua i was like the first person to reply to
espio so keep the lists to those who know what their doing ok
no offence though
Yes i will be there no matter what and as many friends as i can, i have four that have said yes,

My girlfriend Cally, Nuno, Michael and Daniel
me too my friend adam might come and my girl whos a friend sadia might come but dont put them on the list

I personally have no idea what "rewrite if attending" means, so I would not know where to put you either. Moreover, Espio is already busy with some things, so I think Aqua is competent enough to keep the list up-to-date. I do think both Espio's and Aqua's lists should be put together though to make one complete list.

You definitely need to start treating other members well.
did i not say that i didnt mean any offence kai v
(May. 17, 2009  5:47 PM)BEYKID247 Wrote: did i not say that i didnt mean any offence kai v
From what I remember, you edited your post to add "no offence though". It does even excuse the fact that you give yourself some authority while seemingly ignoring that Aqua knows what he is doing.

Plus, I am saying this to you now because I have noticed that you were not respecting other members in most of your previous posts. I am suprised to see that nobody has warned you yet.


Now, everybody can go back on topic.
we both know this argument or this time wasting process is going know where so lets get back to the topic and kai you edited it so you could say lets get back to the topic

Would you like to be banned? We can make that happen if you want (you seemingly do) Grin

Get them from the intoy, you will get them the next day
There rip-offs.

Yeah i no but at least you get them
Is there something that shows the layout of the expo? if so then can someone please give me a link. Thank you.
(May. 17, 2009  7:00 PM)Driger Wrote: There rip-offs.

Thenically They're not because you have a 100 percent guarantee and you get the beyblades straight away and also if you buy them from japan the blade itself maybe cheap but the postage isn't.
