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. ^^;

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

I feel bad now
EDIT: Oh and that guy with the afro (not KidTala) lost a Wolf :\
You don't have to feel bad. XD It's just that you had to wair a bit and your mum looked kinda bored/stressed......hopefully she isn't. In any case, hopefully we'll have a smaller meet in the sumer and you can come to that and we can all eat ice-cream and relax.
I have a serious ice-cream obsession as of late. I'm gonna have to start learning the names of the Burger King guys the amount of times I end up there.

(Let's stop talking about this now, it was no ones fault)

I haven't been burger king in ages XD
EDIT: He just created an account (ahh)
Summer meet would be great but I hope for the love of god it's not in the center of London again haha, my satNav was all over the place.

Lol, alright Driger. And we will defintely have on in London.......though I'm hoping we can have one more up North at some point too. Somewhere between Leicester and Manchester maybe. I'm not sure, it'd just be cool to see the Northern bladers....need to meet Giga and Neek, and I didn't really get much of a chance to talk to Samstar today. 
I guess any Londoners that wanted to go could go up together......I'm totally getting ahead of myself here though. I'm just way too excited and hyped up on Bey. XD On the way home I saw a ferris wheel and freaked out because I though it was a giant Libra.

Maybe after Spinoff finishes, you should take a bit of a break Rocky... Think it might be getting to you a little bit.

Lol, I can imagine this after your hard day of working out how spin directions would work. =P
Also, I would totally go for any other tournament where we can really get the well known WBO posters together. There were a lot of randomers there today which was sort of strange. I'm glad we've gotten the word out to people about Bey. =D
Also, congratulations on running a tournament 10000 times better than anything Hasbro ever did. WE MUST NOT LET THEM SCREW BEY UP THIS TIME. O.O
Pikachao were you there!? I must of totally avoided you.
EDIT: I am uploading the beybattle vids!

Yeah, I noticed you there but I was tired and didn't really want to be like "LOL DRIGER. IT'S COOL 'CAUSE I KNOW YOU" at the time much. =P
I had jeans on, long hair, dark t-shirt and jumper. It's cool, some others didn't know until I pointed out I was Pikachao. xD
I know who you are...I thought you were a girl D:
Edit: I cant upload know because I have to go bed

Who won 1st, 2nd, and 3rd? Everyone at BWR is dying to know.
Lol, I figured you'd all be having too much fun to care. I have no idea what time it is over there though. Are you around 6 hours behind now? Anyways, 1st was Munkerz, 2nd was Xcel, a new member, and 3rd was Beyunit-DL.

Words of our leader (Brad): Every should be really embarrassed.
Rockyyy think your a little tired lol,
1st was Munkerz, 2nd LeeDraciel 3rd was Xcel
^^
I think It was this anyway >.> lol

Read the thread. XD Us main people were kinda busy in the end so we didn't really get to enter if that's what you were talking about....or at least the combos used in the occasional battle were downgraded a little.....but anyways. I'm hoping we can have a more serious mini-tourney tomorrow. 
Also, screw you Brad, I totally don't see you on that BWR leaderboard. XP
I'm more than a little tired, lol. But my little piece of paper says Xcel was second. However, that's coming from the same guy who mis-spelled Draciel. XD I dunno, we'll ask Espio when he comes around seeing as he was more on the tourney side of things at that time. ^^;

It was munkers, excel, draciel. Throat hurts from the 3,2,1, go shoot! Mis punched a boxing arcade machine, wrist now hurts. Am extremely hot. Still playing beyblade now. I think my strong point is selling things.

Or rather, not. Because they couldn't buy them from you. xD You were all like "you have to buy them from theINtoy! Stop begging me to sell my beys PLEASE". The other person would then compensate for the awkward silence by twisting his winder and making the terrible click sound.
I will have nightmares about that winder sound. D=
XD I feel sorry for you guys.....

Haha, that happened to us, too. I fell sorry for my scraped up Flat bottom.
Tournaments are worth it, though.

Im tight, spent too much money on these to sell them. I have also seemed to have picked up a random 145 track and S bottom?
Rocky, Brad wasn't entered in the tournament. Although, he managed to beat everyone in MFB a majority of the time. His reaction to ranked battles was very interesting. Something along the lines of "I didn't know how much pressure there is to win a ranked match and to think I created this system!"
