Heckscher Playground, Central Park - New York, NY, USA
LIMITED FORMAT

Registration - 11:30AM
Start Time - 12PM

The road to the Grand Battle begins! New York Bladers, this is your chance to earn paid travel expenses (if necessary) to ANIME NORTH, along with an AN Pass to play in the WBO North American Championship, GRAND BATTLE TOURNAMENT 2!!

Mandatory $5 Entry Fee = More Qualifiers + Extra Credits + Free Face Booster!
To help subsidize the high cost of flying/busing the qualifiers to Toronto, a mandatory $5 entry fee will be imposed on all Qualifier Series tournaments, regardless of whether or not a participant has a Blader Passport (if you wish to purchase a Blader Passport, the total cost would be $15 at a Qualifier Series tournament), and there will be no prize reimbursement apart from the travel expenses for the winner. We hope that everyone can understand this! The more funds we have, the bigger this championship will be! However, to show our appreciation for your cooperation and support in helping to fund the championship, all participants in Qualifier Series tournaments will receive the following:

What can I win?
The winner of this qualifier will receive the following:
  • Paid travel expenses, by plane/bus/public transit (if necessary, and whichever is cheapest) to ANIME NORTH 2014 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada for GRAND BATTLE TOURNAMENT 2.
  • An ANIME NORTH 2014 Pass
Qualifiers will be responsible for finding/paying for accommodations in Toronto, but we will work closely with each of you to make sure that you find somewhere suitable. Additionally, the winner will be required to consult with the Committee before booking their flight/bus, and then after approval, provide a booking confirmation to the WBO Committee before they can provide reimbursement for the traveling costs. We can also reimburse gas costs, but in that case, reimbursement will only take place in person after we have received gas receipts.

Could and of you who is confirmed please also bring a BB-10 if you have one? It would make this tourney run way more smoothly.

Im bringing mine... Ingulit said it wasn't fit for official play though.
confirmed.

As long as they're not in the play area it is fine.

Damn, that's unfortunate.

Hopefully this event turns out a success and at the same time, make the attendee minimum.

Good luck everyone!

If your dog just bit the walls inside then it should be OK if it was bitten in the stadium play it completely illegal for tournament.
Guys do you think Ingulit wouldn't have asked where the dents were before making a judgment?

If Ingulit says something isn't legal, I'm inclined to believe him - he's kind of known for being pretty thorough, and he's also generally fairly progressive on legality matters.

While I dislike the implications of "Ingulit said", coming from Aquamarine I can let it go, but the rest of you should probably know better.
OK, this is getting off topic. My BB-10 has been used prior to this comment. How about Cye decides if it's okay. If you need me to, I can post a picture.

All you need to tell us if is the dents are in the playing area or generally where they are (a picture would be good in addition though, yes). I mean I somehow doubt Ingulit was wrong in the first place and you carrying on like this is pretty disrespectful to him, but even then this is not a complex matter.
Hey guys, is the tournament still in the park?

From what I saw, you've posted the exact same thing, on the last page. Please wait for Cye Kinomiya to post a reply.

I doubt it will happen though, just by seeing the relatively short attendees list. But be sure to make a turnout, just incase it is still on.
I will also be attending. If I can manage to summon a BB-10 from my closet, I can also bring one.
I will bring an XTS stadium in the next tournament. But beware of my new bey from ebay, I got it yesterday 3\7\14. So beware of DIABLO NEMESIS. I hope I see Team Dragonfang. HahahaHAHA Hope your NOT scared. Until next time thanks.
Good luck to everybody participating in the qualifier tomorrow i really wish i can come.

You cannot use the diablo fusion wheel as it is 4d. Make sure you didn't get rapidity or john miller stuff.
I'M NOT GONNA BE THERE. I AM WAITING FOR A TOURNAMENT IN BROOKLYN NY. BEWARE OF DIABLO NEMESIS 3\7\14.
Try not to post in all caps. Smile
Aquamarine = Yes I got Diablo Nemesis from John Miller.
Is there a problem?
Please advise, thanks.
