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.

Nope, hell, if I didn't want this happening ASAP, I wouldn't do it in the middle of Winter.
Tourneys happen all year round, though on a weekend each May we do Beydays. We missed it this year, but I'd expect/hope for something next year (probably a tourney with Blocks instead of all v all (check the event guide for "block round robin").
RESERVES LIST POSSIBLE LIST COMING LIST
I have been practising my launch techniques and it is perfected after weeks of practising
p.s including the shipping fee
PM me, and we'll talk.
Oh, by the way, attendees: We're having a sausage sizzle. Did I mention that? Fggdygg has volunteered his cooking skillz, as I cannot operate a barbecue to any degree of competency. It'll probably be done during/before the finals. We'll see. But yeah.
It's also free, but 1 sausage+bun per person, and you'll need to bring your own drinks, I can't afford to buy drinks Don't think there'll be enough food for parents tbh, so yeah, tell them to bring their own food mebbe? I dunno
Tourney is gonna be done on grass, don't want any tip damage
Weather forecast currently has light showers, but mostly not-raining, from what I can tell, so yeah. PLEASE bring raincoats/umbrella in case we can't get shelter.
Ill call/text you if i cant make it and sorry i said i could come.
SOMETHING MAJOR came up
The only reason I want people to make sure they come is so other people don't miss out.
Before anyone asks if this means they're in, I'm already contacting first reserve, but it means you move up a spot in line.
All official beyblades, metal fight/fusion/masters etc. Not the original plastics or HMS, though, and no light wheels (from Random Booster Light V1/2)
One question, will there be like an after tourney?
Can't wait to see what everyone is using. Some kinda metagame. It'll be even better when we can all get TT stuff, but yeah, working on it for future.
You dont have to bring a stadium but if you have an attack stadium that would be highly encouraged to bring it.
please bring the attack stadium
