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.

No, we do need more stadiums.
This however isn't an option, so we're working with what we have.
We also have no idea on the exact number of friends people are bringing, so this could push numbers up to the 27 that had voted "yes" originally.

edit: NOTICE
If you want to attend the tournament, simply post here instead of PM'ing me, my inbox is getting a little too full of needless messages.
are there prizes, and if so what are they...
There are, but we aren't announcing what they are until the tournament is about to start.
Although they still haven't arrived yet, so we'll have to see :\

Well for them just check the poll results and make a note of their names (as long as you created the poll/thread). They should just drop down.
is anyone selling cancer, libra, aquila, l drago or pegasus please reply if you are
i just had pancakes ummm Delicious
cant wait for the tournament been looking forward to it all month but i will probably loose cuz i have only got three blades so i have a disadvantage and to of them are rubbish
who is coming with there mum
saggatario rock leone and libra
I have the MFB stamina stadium guys. If it's needed, just ask me and I'll bring it.
It's need and also that stadium will bring a bit of interest, since it's mainly all attack type.

Are they hws or pre hws? None of them are good on their own but if the saggitario is pre hws then if you bought storm pegasis then you could make Saggitario 105RF which is a decent attack combo. Also if your libra is pre hws then it's actually too good to be used and imbalances the game so it is banned from being used in the tournament.
This tourney is gonna be so cool cant wait mahn!!!
Will thare be any eastern us tournaments
Why did you use this thread? Uncertain You can always start up your own tournament!
i had a dream i was at the tournament and everyone had 80''s hair, and it was just like the anime with stadiums and stuff and even though i know there wont be any massive dishes or an announcer or anything im still really exited to be there
I think I'm kinda scared of MetalfightKai to be honest now...

But in response to Sam i will bring my stadium then
Wow, 23 people said to be going, that is pretty impressive, is that the most we have had for these events?
29 now!!!
Bearing in mind we had 25 at least at the MCM expo do, we may see a fair few more faces because of people's friends coming, etc.
woah thats awesome but i hope the weather doesnt put people off
