You may register for a reserves list, and if you would be able to make it on short notice, (like, if I called you at 12:15 to get there by 1), then you may register for that as well (give me a contact number, preferably mobile, and a name). You'll be given major consideration for the second tourney, and if there are a lot of you, I'll host a second tourney in the near future, the soonest it works for everyone. I apologise for not warning you sooner.
If there are another 12 people though, I'll look into doing blocks, but I sincerely doubt that (and it would be hard to manage)
The reason for the limit is out of interest for attendees. We want you to have the maximum number of battles possible for the first tourney, for everyone's sake. The only format that will give us this is normal Round Robin, which is capped at 12 participants (as otherwise, it is too much work for the committee). Please be understanding, that I'm doing this for the good of our tournament scene, and will work to make up for anyone who misses out

What: An Official Tourney, for Perth Bladers!
When: Sunday, 3rd of July (2011). 12 Noon. Tourney Starts at 1PM, Free Play for the Hour Before. Make sure you arrive at 12, please.

Any later than 12:15, and your position is forfeit. If it's 12 and you're not there yet, text me. Full details are here. My number will be provided in the reminder PM.
Where: Kings Park, Variety Pavillion, or surrounding area.
Here's A Map of Kings Park's Venues It's #33, off Saw Avenue.
ENTRY FEE: 5USD (~$4.70 AU). Free for passport holders. Passports will be $10 USD. (They’re not actual physical objects but you can register for one at the event, and you'll receive a Passport Face once the WBO issues it to you). This is all WBO rules.
Prizes: First Prize: $25 Worth of Beyblade Stuff (Prize-Winners Choice)
Second Prize: $15 Worth of Beyblade Stuff (Prize-Winners Choice).
Rules: Standard WBO Rules. Here. READ THEM. Plus the 3.6 Update: READ IT TOO!
An extra thing, though it isn't a rule, I'd prefer if, out of respect to stadium owners and the tourney holder (me), people refrained from using MS/M145 unless absolutely necessary. It's not against the rules, but in my opinion there is a risk of damage to stadiums due to improper use, and if there is any ill feeling after the event, I won't be inclined to host again.
I'd rather people didn't use the Rev-Up launcher, as it's not totally fair IMO, but that's a personal opinion, and I'm not going/able to stop you. It'll be cool if we kept it to beylaunchers, though, at least for our first tournament

Format: Round Robin. All players battle each other once, and then the three players with the most wins play round robin against each other, number of wins decides placing. Tie Breakers, again, where necessary. This limits us to 12 places, however.
Please read the the Official Event Guide if you're interested in how things will be/should be run.
[b]Only say you can "definitely attend" if you are 100% sure you can make it (check with parents/guardians before posting, PLEASE).
If we end up with only 7 people there on the day because you don't attend, I will hunt you down and launch horrible combo's at you until you are mortally wounded/I get bored. (Storm Cancer 145S: Expect It, All Over Your Face)
I’d love it if everyone could make it (and let’s be honest, we’re in Perth, it’s not like there’s anything else to do), but that probably won't happen. However, if it goes well, I'll look at hosting another, and work it out schedule-wise with the people who couldn't make it to this one. Because I'm a pretty cool guy like that.
So yeah, let's do this thang.

Yeah, the rules changed. I enjoyed the joke though

I actually just realised, I don't actually have a Dark Wolf, I've got all it's parts (even two differently coloured wolf CW's), but not the actual bey. Hu-uh. I do have Storm Capricorn though, so I'll pwn you all with that.
Lol, will do. I've gotta write it up, as I've got a few reserves as is


By the way, if you place in this tourney, you'll definitely be invited to the next. So, more incentive?
I'm using a fantastic storm capricorn!
:.(.......................... WWAA!
sorry
if i'm goin, I will still bring a storm capricorn
my son's name is bob junior and my dauter's name is bobina

....................................................................................my wife doesn't have a name


Man, I'm excited, seeing as I've been up today, I've been testing and practising like mad. I really want to place, if only to keep my bronze tool



C'mon, Japan Post, you've not failed me yet

I need to go out to various shops to look for stuff, but I'm short on cash til the tuesday after the tourney (payday). Blargh.
Try and keep it more on topic guys

By the way, I expect everyone to be there on time, at 12 Noon. If you aren't there by 12:15PM, I will consider you
to have bailed, and call a reserve.
If you're gonna be late, I'll have PM'd you my number before the tourney, so you will all be able to contact me to let me know, by SMS or whatever.
If you don't SMS me and rock up after I've called a reserve, it will create drama, and I apologise, but those are the rules.

So be on time, or let me know. It's not hard to do. Have your parents call or SMS me or whatever if you don't have a phone.
I can't make it any later, as reserves need time to get there. Try to get there on time, I'll be there an hour or so early, so you won't be alone. I'll have stadiums too once it's all set up so yeah, we can practice or talk or whatever. Don't try to get there early, just try to get there for 12, but there's no disadvantage to getting there early

If it hits 12:00, and you're not there, just text me to tell me you're on your way.
If you've woken up sick/had to cancel for whatever, let me know as early as possible, as that'll let me let someone else fill your spot

Don't everyone ask to arrive late, cos I do need to organise stuff with reserves. Own-Ray is bringing one of the stadia and I know he'll be there, so he gets a little extra leeway. Don't complain.
As for what is/isn't allowed, check the rules, which are linked in the first post.
