No more than a few feet away from Buckingham Palace itself is St. James’s Park, which will be a new location for the UK branch of the WBO, as all of our non-expo tournaments so far have taken place in Regents Park.

Although Regents Park has been a great venue before, we feel that St. James’s Park is a better location for this time of year.

Not only does the point we’ve chosen have good food and toilet facilities, but it is also very close to a gazebo in the event of rain.

The meeting point will be just up and to the left of point 5 on the St. James’s park map:
http://www.royalparks.org.uk/parks/st_james_park/

You’ll also be able to see on the map by clicking on “Transport & info”, the nearest tube stations.

We'll me meeting at point 5 (The blue bridge) at 12:00pm, and will 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'd recommend travelling to the event from Green Park station (one stop on from Oxford Circus), 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 still be cold at 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.

Thanks,
theflightyellz

Banned parts:
For this tournament (which will probably be one of the first of many), Libra will be banned as was decided by popular vote.
We feel that this will make the tournament a lot more interesting, and encourage people to use both new defense, and attack combinations.

I've never done that before. >w< Had a lot of fun, look forward to the next one, whenever that may be (could not be for a while this time so we'll see).

Can you people try get back on topic, i'm fed up of just reading people TRYING to comeback at each other.
In all honesty the thread no longer has masses of point to it, it's just a winding down thread more than anything.
Still, if we could keep it to a chat about what happened at the tournament it'd be preferable.
my highlights of the tourny were
1.owning brazzman then him asking for a rematch
2. linh losing track of what was happeniing and lee having to show him twice
3. brazzman begging linh 4 a discount on a dragoon msuv the finding out he had the money
4.brazzman losing his virgo then finding out it was under a bag 2cm from the stadium
5.metal fight kai roaming around looking to blow his cash on beys
6. numbnuts 1 having his storm capricorn bounce around st jamses park
7. owning numbnuts 2 again and again and again and again well u get the picture
and me coming 4th not bad 4 the first tourney not bad at all

Haha, people keep on asking me "Are rocky and ellz bf and gf?" Anyways congrats Grin
Why do they ask you?
Because he obviously has a fetish of spying on people he meets on the internet jkjk
right can discussion just remain on the tournament itself?
Agreed...cause mfk, your post was a bit creepy, even as a 'joke'.

I kinda like the 'highlights of your day' idea, I think thats a good example of the kind of things to post in such a thread now. If people continue to be silly and go off-topic, then the thread will just be locked, seeing as the tourney is over so there's no pressing need to keep it open.
I was just hoping for videos/pics.
Aha, that too, forgot about them. Well, hopefully they should be up soon. But in the meantime, I'd prefer the kind of post I highlighted (though obviously this will be more interesting to NtB attendees than anyone else).
