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.

Lol but Rocky and Ellz weren't late they/we got to the bridge meeting point about 5 past 12
BTW, as for the location, I thought it was better than regents park, mainly because of the turnout of people and because it was easier for most people to get to. Hopefully we'll see the next outdoor tourney there (possibly in the summer)
We should have one in april !!! Tongue_out
Yeah that's my birthday month, how about the 15th,

Nah, the summer. At least that's what ellz told me.
That sounds good, but we need a proper organiser for the event. Gasp

lol I just realised the expo event will be on my birthday weekend (22nd and 23rd) Grin Grin Grin Tongue_out

I think April sounds ok, it'll be warmer for sure 8) and there's a good gap between now and then, so there is time for organising it, etc.
You do all realise that i only chose April 15th because that's my birthday right.
and April is the time of April Showers.
you do know april is one month away from may 23rd BEYDAY which probably mean were gonna do a tourney then
ps this is kinda getting off topic
May the 23rd is Beyday (the day after my b-day Grin Grin) but is usually used for the expo meet up, or at least that is when the next expo convention is.
At the last expo event, many people showed up asking what we did, etc. It is unlikely we will have a tourney on a day where there will be a lot of public curiosity, just free battles. Beside, it is split over two days, with us being there on both.
It would be very difficult to have a competitive tourney then.
whats beyday and whats the expo ( i know what expo means i just don't know what your talkin bout)

BEYDAY

There are a few threads there that will also tell you about the SpinOff tournament that happened on BeyDay at the MCM Expo.
has anyone put the tournament on you tube yet

It would have probably been posted already.
im looking for it but i don't think i can find it
She meant that if one of the members had already uploaded it then they would have posted the link on this thread already. It's not been uploaded yet, be patient.
as soon as i get near a pc ill upload the vids and fianl 3 pic lol been a bit hard wat with working and all lol also 4 ppl talking bout an expo meet, currently there is no garantee we will also may expo is on the 29th-30th may this year, best option i can think of is poss dooing a beyday tourny and giving may expo a miss, then in october wen metal fusion is out do a big tourney/showcase
I agree about the idea with the tourney BlacK PheoniX, i've been to all the expo tourneys and they have been pretty hectic everytime, with other people joining aswell. We could do a meet up there, but i don't think an official one would be a good idea at the expo.
Well, we have to do something for Beyday on the 23rd, but I still like the idea of the MCM Expo meet up.

Maybe we should hold a tourney on the 23rd in St James' park, then have an informal meet up on the 29th-30th at the expo. Also, if the prizes don't turn up by the tourney day, they can be given out at the Expo the week after.
Shall we just make a thread for this in WBO general cause this thread is supposed to be for people who are talking about the tourney not what they think the tourney should be or when it should be.(I'll make a thread)
Oh i have mine and Linh's score sheets still, i will send them to Rocky or <3 for when the beypoints system is working again, i will right them up or simply take a picture just incase i am accused of changing them lol.
Haha very nice vid, you should have put the pre-match banter in doh Smile
didnt like the shakey effects but nice video.
