Autumn Attack
14th November
London, Regents Park
Meeting Spot: The Boathouse Cafe
12:00pm - 3:30pm

Regents Park has been the location for the last few WBO tournaments, and we've found it to be a good location, yet we felt a change was in order.
The previous location was difficult for a lot of people to find, and was poorly located which made access to food and toilet facilities difficult.
The new location will be The Boathouse Cafe.

The attached map should help you to find the location:
http://www.royalparks.org.uk/parks/regents_park/

The Boathouse Cafe is marked as number 5, and is heavily sign posted through out the park.
It is also marked as number 5 on all maps within the park.

We'll me meeting outside the Boathouse Cafe at 12:00, and move to an area of nearby grass at 1:00 to start the tournament. The tournament will most probably go on until around 3:30, yet it could go on for less, or possibly longer.

We will be around for a period of time after the tournament, but probably not for a lot longer since the park will be pretty much pitch black by 4:30/5:00.

We'd recommend traveling to the event from Baker Street station, as it's closest to the event.

The tournament style will be block round robin, since this worked well at the last event.

The main tournament will be MFB only, but free battles will allow plastic and HMS as usual.

Items we'd recommend for you to bring would include a hooded coat or jacket in case of rain, possibly an umbrella, and layers such as jumpers and scarves (as the weather will be taking a colder turn by the time of the tournament).

We'd also recommend that if you do intend to take part in the tournament, then bring your own beys.

This may sound like an obvious suggestion, but in the past people have come without, expecting to borrow other peoples.
This would not be a problem, but more than half the blades that have been lent out to people have either come back damaged from improper use, or not come back at all (as those who visited expo will know).
Obviously this has made people a lot more reluctant to lend out their own beys.

The entry fee will be the same as usual, free with a blader passport (£6 to buy), or £3 otherwise, and as usual there is no age restriction.

We hope you'll be interested in this tournament, and enjoy it as you have done with previous tournaments.

^ This, in essence.

Running a tournament isn't just a simple case of just putting out stadiums and letting people battle, it does require a large amount of time, effort, and planning.
Look, if enough people actually want me to run the tournament then I'm happy to do it.
But when everybody seems to want it another way, it just doesn't make sense for it to be done in the way that was originally planned.

Currently I have to go with what Kai-V said, because this just isn't working.

Wow. Okay, clearly things have spiralled a bit out of hand.

Let's go back to the beginning. revertedtozero and any others members who wish to run a tourney; you MUST go through the proper functions - that's proposing the event in the Events Proposals forum and getting it approved by the Comittee. Before then you won't be so much as considered as someone who's able to runs tournaments, at least not in London where we already have a number of competent and mature bladers who can handle things.

This started badly because revertedtozero tried to set up a tourney by just asking who was interested in the WBO General forums. I'm not mad at anyone, but if you expect to be allowed to run a tournament with WBO support then you need to abide by our rules. If you're not sure what rules exist surrounding a particular subject, ask.

Currently revertedtozero has not been approved by moderators. If he wishes to change that he can propose a tourney in the proper way and see what happens, however, I would not expect to be given permission just yet as, as aforementioned, we already have a number of competent members.

Sam, I appreaciate your enthusiasm but you can come off a little pushy sometimes, try to calm down and think about what you say. Yes, you have been playing beyblade since you began but you're still only 12 and it would be unwise to give you too much responsibility yet. Carry on posting (nicely) and attend events and we can watch you grow.

As for Elliott, he put time into this; he set out all the details and found a good location for us. He doesn't need people complaining, being negative, etc. If you want to come to the tourney then come, if you don't then don't, this thread is not for complaints. If you really have what you think to be a legitimate complaint, word it as a suggestion rather than a complaint (get off to a good start at least) and use PMs.

For now, I'm locking this thread as I don't want anything escalating and people falling out. Please be friendly! I'll look into a better time for the next tourney though it probably won't be till the December holidays.
