Why are there classes on a Saturday, right close to Christmas when everybody else is on the damn winter holidays already ? Seriously ?
Hello everyone.
After surviving the apocalypse (caused by Lavos haha), all that is left of the world is a destroyed future with little hope for humanity. Warriors roaming the land find themselves drawn into clashes over food, water and any usable resources. Survival of the fittest reigns supreme. However, while those samurais are clashing with swords, NYC bladers will be clashing with with Samurai Changers, Ifraids and Pegasi at Samurai Showdown!
I will be cohosting with Cyber Blader, who is also a well-established member in the NYC Beyblade community and is equally dependable.
Name: Samurai Showdown
Date: December 22nd, 2012
Venue: Hecksher Playground, Central Park, NY, NY
It is assuredly a very safe location to play in, and plus we have safety in numbers after all.
WARNING: There will be cold weather during this time. Temperatures are expected to be in the 40s, so dress warm! There are snack carts nearby, but the prices might be slightly expensive, so it's best to bring food from home.
Format: MFB, then Zero-G
I wish for a HMS or plastic tournament, but I know it's not going to happen and I don't have nearly enough older beys to lend out. This is subject to change however, if other circumstances arise.
Registration/Starting Time: 1 PM, Registration will occur in the half hour or more before that (aka at noon). If neither of the hosts are there immediately, sit tight and we'll definitely get there in time.
On another note, STEALING OF ANY KIND WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. NYC has has a history of stolen parts and even unrelated objects like a 3DS, which is incredibly shameful. You and any family members present are responsible for your belongings due to being in a public place, but if either Cyber Blader or I find any note of stealing and can confirm that it was stolen, there will be consequences for the culprit.
Prize Pool: (1st place = 1st pick, etc.)
Red Galeon + Plastic Right-Spin Launcher
2 Tiger Defenser (green) + Smash Turtle (red)
Thunder Dragon (HMS) Light Blue Hasbro (no spark paper)
The prizes are old generation Beyblades, however they are sadly used. They are still in very manageable condition though, and are fully legal for play. They are also all competitive!
All sellers who have posted in this thread stating their merchandise will be listed under this spoiler.
I think I've covered all the bases here, now we just need you! Don't forget to sign up for this so that we can become an official event! The fees are waived during this week, but you can still purchase a Blader Passport for 10 USD and receive a year-long, unrestricted access to special giveaways and other tournaments hosted by the WBO!
Note: I'll also have a 'Happy Anniversary WBO!' sign so we can take some pictures with it during the tournament.
So let's stop failing, and let's get NYC blading again!

Here they are getting out December 22nd. They go back to school January 2nd. Ill be out of work for the week kids are out of school.
Major Colleges/Universities are finishing up this week.
My classes are on a Saturday and are not mandatory but once you've signed up, you have to go every Saturday except certain days given off and the Saturday of this tournament is not off
I would've taken a day off but I just can't
I would've taken a day off but I just can't
I might I will PM U
Just post here if you are going, don't PM me.
Sorry to hear Beychamp76, although most people take SAT and not PSAT classes...I would know, I've tutored for the SAT before.

So is it going to be held at the Bandshell?
At this rate, most likely. I'll give it another day or two, and if the prediction stays I shall change the location and add corresponding pictures.
change me to confirmed
Alright, updated the list. Good to see you coming, and hopefully the maybes will become confirmed members.
As for the whole weather thing, the forecast is showing partly cloudy, but with no rain. The temperature is still very low, so dress warmly, but luckily for us we can stay at the Heckscher Playground unless noted otherwise.
I can't stress this enough though: DRESS WARMLY. You may be like me and not feel cold with a t-shirt on (which I did today), but when you're outside long enough and your hands start to shake, it's a VERY bad sign. So please, please, please, dress warmly for this tournament!

Don't forget, NJ and NYC got hit pretty badly by Hurricane Sandy. Some institutions are "making up" for that week off from school with extra lessons and extended class days. Some.
Edit:
Anyway, I've done this a few times in past NYC tournaments, but let's go over a couple of things. Oh, for the record, I'm not going. But the advice I give really shouldn't be ignored.
While Ga covered Stealing, do be mindful of who you're lending your items to. The best way to keep your items safe and in working condition is to not lend your items at all. That means launchers and parts; do not be easily trusting and always keep a sense of caution if lending your stuff. Hound on the people who you lent your stuff to, and if they claim that they haven't, do not hesitate to report them to Ga or Cyber. If you're leaving before the person you lent your stuff to, make sure to get it back before going. If you're borrowing someone's item, please be courteous and return them to the owner immediately before you leave, or to the tournament hosts (Ga or Cyber) if that person is gone. Also, and especially, please be respectful to the items you are borrowing. They're not yours, so don't treat it like yours. Meaning no chewing on launchers and no launching Beyblades into asphalt/concrete.
There are places around Central Park to get food. In the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle (across the fountain and the big globe), there's a Jamba Juice and a Whole Foods downstairs. Down 8th Ave are a Wendies, McDonalds, Chipotle, and other fastfood restaurants. Remember that hot dog vendors are horrendously expensive, so if you want to save money or get your money's worth, go to one of these places or bring your own food. Thank you.
Put bladerx27 as a maybe

Thanks for reiterating Jimmie. I'll add this to the OP.
The list has been updated again. Don't forget to tell your parents about this early at least so they can inform you otherwise or remember to make plans around this, especially since this weekend is the weekend before Christmas and first weekend of Winter Break.
