Calling out to all the bladers in Northwestern Ontario (Thunder Bay, Sudbudy, Kenora). We're looking for more players in the area who would be interesting in not only just playing but also tournament play. I know there's me and Meruda and 2 people who posted themselves on the map but never posted here on the WBO. I'm trying to get a couple of people who I play with to sign up beforehand but I was wondering if any of you were out there as it is right now?
We're also looking for people who would be interested in participating in our Thunder Bey - 2010 - Fall tournament we've got planned for the beggining of September (The 5th to be specific). If you would want to play in the tournament just post saying you wanna come!

Thunder Bey... that's clever.
That's 5 people including myself that are on the WBO saying they want to play.
I know there a couple of stragglers that I need to get to sign up but I can't seem to get a hold of them.
Huge thanks to MaxL for stepping up in an effort to expand upon Ontario's already huge competitive Beyblade scene. I wonder if any of the other regions around the world can match the pure volume of tournaments we have going on here in Ontario!
EDIT: Also, I love the title for this.
We are going to have a ton of fun guys!

As long as they're the Beyblade Metal Fusion ones that aren't the electronic, or keychain ones, you're good to go.
TylerPT: Out of the attendees I know of right now, I will be the only one at Thunder Bey using TAKARA, everyone else has Hasbro bought beys. The majority of my beys are Hasbro anyway. You'll fit right in
TylerPT do you want me to put you down for coming? Hasbro blades are most definately allowed as long as they are not the electronic tops and they are Beyblade Metal Fusion stuff.
I will decide on a meetup date once I get back from my vacation... It will probably be on a weekday afternoon. If you are familiar with tournament play for WBO rules then you won't need to show up. It's basically for the new WBO members I've brought over so they understand the low-down of the tournament.
