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!

I'll be there early, just in time to battle a little earlier. And plus if it rains, I hope were not playing on concrete. That'll mess up everyone's beys. And also I have a BB-10 at my house, so if you need it, I can bring it. So i'll see you at the Tourney!

Yeah sure, bring a BB-10.
We're on synthetic play surfaces, the tips don't get messed up that easily. Cyber and I are also bringing towels and such to cover anyway.
I'll be leaving at 11:30 I will probably get there at 12:30
But first i need I make a combo really quick
Talk about last second
Don't forget everyone: registration will occur from 12:30-1, we're starting at 1 PM.

Leaving now, so see you all there! (for real)
Im coming sorry for the late post Smile

good job to everyone
Ahem.

16 bladers braved the wind, cold, and the occasional snow flurry to duke it out at Samurai Showdown today! There were some issues with people coming late, and issues with saying Mahoutsukai's name (which he should be changing back to Sniperâ„¢ now...), but the tournament went well in the end and the parents were very accommodating.

In MFB!
1st. Mahoutsukai/Sniperâ„¢
2nd. Me! (Ga'Hooleone)
3rd. bj3rdd

Prizes were handed to 1st, 3rd and 4th since I was providing prizes at the tournament. Sniper picked the Thunder Dragon, bj3rdd picked the Galeon and Cyber Blader took home the selection of plastic ARs.

We moved onto Zero-G a bit early, especially since two unnamed bladers decided to pick combos that would STALL FOR 20 MINUTES, TYING EVERY TIME. THAT TOOK WAY TOO LONG.

1st. Mahoutsukai/Sniperâ„¢

We snapped some pictures, got some videos, and if everyone sends me what footage they have I should be abel to make something out of it and send it to the Beychannel!

Also, someone left their Beyblade box at the tournament. There was no stealing today thankfully due to the stern warning we handed out as hosts, but I believe kyoyatategami left his beybox at the tournament? bj3rdd is in possession of it right now, so please contact him for any details.

Good job guys! Hopefully we can pull this off again during the next break Cyber and I are available!

wow i hope everyone had fun. So Mahoutsukai/Sniper's winning streak continues
Haha I as well hoped that everyone had a great time. As per the bladers Sniperâ„¢ is back lol. Also props goes to skatekid12 he surprised me and alot of others with his skill and spirit. Keep it up guys.
skatekid12 was amazing; for a first tournament, he went undefeated up until he had to leave during the finals. He was able to beat MF-H Flash Orion S130R2F with a stock Phantom Orion, twice (Cyber and I lost to him like this haha). So many wall saves it was unbelievable, that guy has incredible luck with a ton of skill.
Really man I wish I could had come now I really want to face this skatekid12 guy,sound like a challenge....[/b].hope everyone had fun
any footage going to be posted on youtube if so I cant wait
Ah the Stalling clause... Usually it would be a 2 minutes limit.

Anyway glad the turn out went good even tho it was cold.....
It wasn't Stalling Clause. Two bladers picked combos that tied every single time, for 20 minutes straight. Finally, we managed to get a 3-2 victory, but that took way too long.
For those who were wondering (sorry for DP), the results have been submitted and fees will be soon. Now just to be patient.

Thanks for coming everyone, and hope you all enjoyed the holidays and New Year!
