LIMITED FORMAT

Registration - 11AM
Start Time - 12PM

The road to the Grand Battle begins! North Carolina 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.

Because I can. Anyone selling a MF/MF-2 pac

Team GT vs. Maryland Team? Nah, Team GT Vs. GoDs (Excluding *Ginga* since he's not on our team)
Pppffffttt...

*Ginga* could beat you both, and you know it, haha. I'd want the help if I were you. Wink

I'd actually say not. We should just let the tournament play out and see who wins. I mean sure if you guys wanna play afterwards, but I'd stake the pie on the actual tournament itself. Much more exciting way to do it, LOL.

No he can't (:
Remember that round I beat you in Stars, when I came back from a 2-0 deficit?

Just remember.
Just a friendly reminder to everyone attending:

GT is a "family Friendly" store, so swearing and rude jokes are highly discouraged. There will be little kids around for others games.

Just remember it was Zero-G not BB-10 keep that in mind ^_^
Well, my dad got told at work that he is in fact working this weekend so I can't make it. Sorry guys, the whooping will have to wait!
Please take me off of the "Unconfirmed" List, for I am hosting a different tournament that same weekend, so I will be unable to arrive.
We're gonna be playing in a thunderstorm most likely, haha.

I don't know if that'll be depressing, or extremely cool. XD
I'll be arriving in Raleigh Friday night. Do you guys have any recommendations regarding sights? My hotel is right by Game Theory.

I think it more SUSPENSE since it an actual serious competition.

Id suggest the local malls. They are pretty decent. Just be aware of the traffic on Glennwood Bvld. Can get a bit hectic.
I was looking on Google Maps for Game Theory (on Street View), and I couldn't seem to find it. I read somewhere that it was to the left of Golfsmith, but it wasn't there either. Where is it?
I might be coming so put me as a maybe
