We now know that the tournament will definitely go ahead. We have one possible venue at the moment:

Location:
ExCeL
Royal Victoria Dock
London,
E16 1XL, UK

Your hosts:
Me (ChozenBlader)
TheGigsMeister

Judges:
Blitz
Gekiryu

The time of day and the specific date are still to be decided, but for any suggestions towards running the tourney, or if you want to apply to be a judge, say so here.


Tournament setup:
There will be a plastics division, MFB Division and HMS division. The winners will get prizes (but we do not know what the prizes will be as of yet). Also, there will be a free-play section as well, for those who want to test combos or simply blade for the sake of it.

The matches will run on the point system. [/b]

For the record, according to the rules, if you break your opponents blade, you win instantly (although I must stress, please don't try to do this on purpose)

There may be a small entrance fee to pay for the prize. The amount is undecided.
Feel free to suggest any ideas.

IMPORTANT: There will be a blacklist. If your name is added to it, you will not be allowed to attend the tourney. This is to prevent trouble makers from spoiling the event.

Also, please, if you can, bring a stadium with you. The more stadiums we have, the more battles we can have at one time. Please note: Only Takara stadiums are legal for competitive play.

You will be allowed to buy and sell beyblades at the tournament. Just make sure your prices aren't outrageous Wink

Ouch Brad, that really hurt =(.
I think I'm gonna invest in a trophy for the winner, and also (obviously) a prize (maybe a Random Booster Act...?)
What are your thoughts?

What are your thoughts?

YES. Great idea.
One Random Booster as the prize?

The convention should give you a budget for more than that.
I think the Trophy Idea is awsome But i agree with Brad maybe somthing more than just 1 random booster lol aswell
Yeah, Having a Trophy is a great idea. But yeah, we could easily afford more than 1 Random Booster Act for a prize.
ooh this has really gotten me interested Grin i live northwards though...Scotland lol.

i read through the posts, but i might have missed it, when's the official date of the tourny?
A date has not been set yet, but it will be Summer 2009. Glad to see this has gained your interest though.

Also, okay, you're all right. Only one RBA isn't good enough xd
How many do you suggest?
We could be waiting until January for a confirmed date, since they have to wait for all the other expos to run through this year before they announce another date.
They normally announce both May expo and JapanEx (The tournament one) at the same time so you can probably grab your tickets then Smile
May expo will be announced shortly before or after the October one.
JapanEx is announced normally after. I think I thought that way because They were announced a fair while after October Expo when I checked a year back or so.
I checked the MCM expo dat the day after I got back from last october...it was up lol.
Just a suggestion, but I think having MFB and MFB stadiums as prizes would be a good idea, rather than random boosters.
Obviously I'm still interested in this. Joyful_3

I'll be getting some MFB soon I think, seeing as it's in 2009 we seem to have some time...

Yeah, that's the great thing about it. Who knows, maybe more MFB will be released by Spinoff 2009.
