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

I think I saw some of them in October............I saw them out of the corner of my eye at the beginning but they went off really quickly. I spent most of Saturday keeping my eye out for them so I could glomp them. When I finally found them and saw them properly I....just kinda walked off in the other direction......XD

Haha. That's fine. I hope your exams went well. Smile
Could we start on an attendance list? I'm interested to see how big this'll be.
And possibly a list of people who will be selling stuff? If I could get my hands on some MFBs without having to order them from Japan that'd be awesome. Smile
Dec. 26, 2008  4:19 PM
 
I have more exams after the holiday Confused
But the ones I already took went well... I hope
Dec. 26, 2008  8:14 PM

Get there as early as possible and leave at the end of the con and you should have enough time to do everything. Smile

Here's what I do:

1. Walk around all the different stalls. Try to make a mental list of what I liked. Realise I've forgotten a few. Walk around all stalls again. X5

2. Realise things are being bought. Buy one or two things. Continue on above step only at a faster pace. X10

3. Run around all stalls really quickly desperatetly trying to find the things I wanted and complaining that my feet hurt. X3

4. Collapse in heap on the DLR.

Good times. B)
