Hello everyone.
Before we discuss anything, let's get this straight. (Click to View)

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!

Almost been a year since I last joined a tournament. I'll try to join, but if I don't go, you'll probably know why.
Sure, why not? It would be nice to finally meet you, since I was only able to go to tournaments after you stopped going.
...Wow, really, Armor? I haven't seen you in a while, too. And you decide to go when I realize that I can't go...fate beith so cruel.
Well Well so many maybe's do you have room for 1 more? Asking If I can go. Well if its outside and I do come Blitz Skaldi GB145WB will have an advantage because its the god of Ice and Snow. Oh and my friend on my buddy list rjdaboss can you put him as a maybe? This battle will be an Icebreaker art, Like so many frost gathering to make a shard of Ice then It will become a Iceland, but Anyone who have to much confidence is like an Ice trying to gather more frost to an Ice when it knows it is going to melt.
But I am like an Icicle Enryha a Flaming sword that has the power of Ice Frosting Flame which can freeze anyone and anything.

I have no idea what you wrote, haha; is that a yes for you attending?

Aside from the fact there is no clear wheel called Skaldi, I would like to point out, as a precaution, that if your beyblade is in fact a God, then it would likely not be legal under WBO rules, as such a thing would be considered an unfair advantage, and likely an illegal modification under the category of substances that affect the performance of the beyblade (though whether powerful spirits are substances or not could be debated, I suspect the spirit of the rule would be enough to settle the matter).

Also, the freezing of other competitors, or their property, is not only against our rules, but also the law, as it will likely cause death/property damage. As such, I would suggest you control your ability to freeze people, and not make such threats here, lest you be barred from attending tournaments as a precaution - which I'm sure you'll understand, as it certainly wouldn't look good publicity for the WBO to be featured in news stories such as "13 Frozen at Children's Spinning Top Tournament, Authorities Say".

While I question the idea that any powerful being would inhabit a children's spinning top, as well as the idea that a 12 year old, or any human being, has the supernatural ability to "freeze anyone and anything" without the use of external means, if it is the case, I would suggest you control your incredible and totally not imaginary powers for the sake of fairness to other competitors.
First I might come so yes put me as a maybe.

Next You do Know Im only making descriptions of the tournament and myself comparing to Ice, Snow and Frost.

Last My bey had no Pic on the face-bolt so I have named it Skaldi because I like Ice and snow. Also Im almost 13years old next month on the 23d, but Im sorry I do say crazy things like that and I love my Skaldi So is it now ok to bring it?

Like think said skaldi is not a clear wheel name, and the face bolt does not have a real name its just...a face bolt really. Here take storm pegasus for example, Storm is the metal wheel, pegasus is the clear wheel witch is directly on top of the storm wheel that's how you get storm pegasus.
blitz "skaldi" is actually blitz (what ever the clear wheel is)

But you can name your beyblade, but we prefer to use the correct terms, so does most of the rest of us. But if you go to the tournament or post on this site, please use the correct terms.

Um, right.

Anyway, I already added rjdabozz as a maybe, and you are already a maybe as well. I would love to see more confirmed members, but yes you were already added sometime back.

You don't have to pay anything to watch or free battle. But going to a tournament and not playing is never fun.

You are such a weirdo Osa
[undefined=undefined] I will be selling some beyblades and parts at the tournament Flame Serpent Sw145F Galaxy Pegasis W105R2F Dark Wolf DF145FS Pegasis CW Dark Metal Wheel 2x Special Edition Cyber Metal Wheel (Used) Rock Metal Wheel 90 Track 2x HF 2x Aires CW MS Tip WD145 Track Byxis CW FireBlaze CW 100x Tools Light Launcher 2 3x ripcord 50x launcher 50x (hasbro) I will Be taking reserves pm me prices… I will also take some beys apart I there is some part that you want on the beyblade
Alright, so I've updated the list and done some formatting work.

All sellers who have posted in here with things they wish to sell have been added under the Selling List spoiler in the OP, if you wish to see a full list then just check that spoiler.

I've also searched my stuff and added a used LLD, along with one other thing. The plastic launchers do not have a ripcord, but that is okay because the Hasbro ripcords are interchangeable with the plastic launcher ripcords.

I am currently searching for a spare HMS launcher and ripcord for the prize Thunder Dragon, but the Galeon now has a launcher that comes with it and the rare plastic parts prize does not come with a launcher or a ripcord.
can there be a plastic or hms tournament after the official tourny
The Plastics/HMS tournament is a maybe, but it depends if I can get enough interest for it.
I also don't have enough beys I'm willing to lend out for the HMS tournament, and while I'm selling plastics I don't know if it will run.
Plus, even if I trust you, it will still be your first time hosting a tournament, so I would prefer if we concentrated on as few tournaments as possible.

By the way, I left you a question in your Event Proposal that you have not replied to yet.
ga's thanks for putting my selling list in the op

Fair enough.

Ah, didn't even notice that. I'll get to it now, thanks V.
