Winter's Chill

London, UK - 20 February 2016

Ah, 2016. It's only the second month in and it's busy as heck! Of course, us London Organisers are busy too! Presenting monthly tournaments, still in the cold of Regent's Park bandstand, but soon, plans for a change of venue are underway... Hopefully next time we will beat Winter's Chill...

The Chill of Winter

2016
LONDON
BLOODY FREEZING
Remember to wrap up warm... Grin



Time:
The tournament itself will start at 12:00pm, so as a guide, aim to arrive for 11:30am. The Tube and public transport services are not very reliable, so plan your journey well in advance.

Location:
Regent's Park. We shall be at the Bandstand like ye olden days.

Directions:
Here is a map of Regent's Park. Head to the area marked Bandstand. We suggest taking the London Underground or Bus to Baker Street.

Tournament Format:
Burst Format. We will be doing Round Robin, seeing as we have a small participant pool. But hey, more battles, more fun! Block Round Robin if we get over 12 participants, so be ready for either!

Price:
Now, all participants must pay a £3 fee for the tournament. We accept cash only!
If you have a valid Blader Passport, entry is free! Blader Passports can be purchased on the day for £10 and last a whole year! Absolute bargain!

Prizes:
Sorry, no physical prizes this time, but credits and Faces will be awarded!
Remember that by winning the most consecutive battles in this event will grant you an exclusive Face, the Shard of Amaterios. Collect 3 Shards of Amaterios to awaken the legendary Beyblade Amaterios Aero Assault and claim it as your own!

Hosts and Judges:
This tournament is being hosted by Manicben, somewhat of a veteran and tournament host. I have chosen -HB- and Ultra (depending on numbers) to be judges this time round, due to their support and experience. If you have any queries, either here or on the day, feel free to PM Manicben or talk to one of us on the day, we would be happy to help!

Important Advice:
Despite being around friends and rivals, please remember we are in a public park. Bad behaviour and swearing will not be tolerated and will result in a ban from future events. Please keep your personal belongings with you or in a safe place while at the bandstand. If you see any personal items left around with no apparent owner, please hand it in to a judge, so we can return it to its rightful owner. Your cooperation is much appreciated.

Remember to turn up on time. If you arrive later than 12:10pm, your place will be forfeit and you will not be able to participate.

Manicben and Balance blader; if you two don't mind sending me the footage you guys took so that I could edit a video but that's only if you two do not mind.

Oh btw @[Kei], @[Bey Brad] and @[Kai-V] I hope I didn't break any rules by doing that?
Of course not hah. The only reason we do not have that for every single event is because it usually costs a lot, but awesome if you have a local manufacturer who does that cheap.

Er I made them lol. 3D printed base and laser cut/engraved acrylic. All made at my university's Robotics Lab, of which I'm the manager for. So I made em for free xD
Hahahah that is the best kind of cheap, for sure. Wow, we never had that in my school for sure hah.

Yep details are here !
Hey, one more issue hah. The finals are missing...? @[Manicben]
No finals were done. I used number of wins to determine places.
Should have held finals, I know that now.
OK, no worries for you, as I mentioned in the other topic hah. Faces and Credits have just been distributed, although we need to set up that Shard of Amaterios formally...
