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

We are not going for a fully competitive event. The whole idea of this event is to have a good time and reintroduce Beyblade to the general public and anime community. It doesn't matter if they don't know much about MFB. If people have issues putting them together then we can assist them. We, as members of the WBO, should be willing to promote MFB rather than the previous systems as they are out dated. We want new comers to use MFB rather than plastic and hms purely because they are updated and the most recent. It wouldn't be worth their while buying plastic and hms. If people decide against MFB and choose plastic and HMS then I can see this tournament/event not promoting the new Beyblade.

Too many divisions will cause the event to take too long with the estimated number of attendance . Forcing MFB is not a bad thing, it encourages others to buy them which is what we want. Living in the past isn't the way forward. You have to progress with the times to further knowledge and allow a series to become popular once again.

I also agree with making MFB the focus of the event, Espio explained it well.

I know a lot more about MFB than I do Plastics/HMS so I would be willing to help people out, I will also have MFB's to sell there aswell.
Jan. 16, 2009  2:34 PM
 
I do agree I just thought that newer people might not enjoy it as much and that the people who already have MFB may want to be a bit more competitive. Obviously we must promote MFB though. Smile

Also Blitz do you know how many MFB you're thinking of selling on the day?
Jan. 16, 2009  2:40 PM
 
At the moment I'm not to sure. I will be able to say nearer the time. But i have quite a few spares atm, & I'll put some aside to sell at the tournament (which is about 10 atm).
Jan. 16, 2009  2:44 PM
 
Wow you have 10 spare already? You must've bought loads.

......would you be interested in selling any before then?
Jan. 16, 2009  3:15 PM
 
I may be looking to sell some unopened boxed blades at shelf price as I have no reason to make a profit. They will priced at the price theINtoy sell them at.
Jan. 16, 2009  4:25 PM
 
Espio explained what I was thinking pretty perfectly. You're right in saying that people who are buying at the event won't be able to compete very strategically, but IMO those "strategic" players should have been better prepared in the first place.

I dont think it is good to only do MFB because it is the most latest beyblade out and people dont have te money to but them so I hink we should do MFB's and HMS and its going to be equall an there's not going to be much MFB's there your mos likely to see much more HMS there. And Ithink you should leave the plastics out of this.
Jan. 16, 2009  10:02 PM
 
sorry but i dont agree
i just think that it would be good to have a plastics div but only for WBO members or summit
i dont have any mfbs yet, however i would like to battle people with the plastic combos that i have already tested to see if they are any good
Plastic
MFB

Too bad. Competitive hobbies cost money. If you can't pay the $10 to get a new Beyblade you probably shouldn't be entering a tournament.
Jan. 17, 2009  12:24 AM
 
I agree with MFB being the showcase event. After all, you want people to see how the game has evolved. Though I think a side event for plastics would also be good, and a good way to demonstrate the power of mfb versus the old generation should any random people be interested.
Jan. 17, 2009  12:28 AM
 
Seriously, these events are more -- at least, to me -- about introducing the game to people who haven't heard of it or have forgotten about it more than it is about catering to the same die-hard fans who aren't going anywhere anyway. We need to expand Beyblade.
Jan. 17, 2009  1:09 AM
 
OK. I think we should just do MFB and HMS because its much better. Then on another day, just do the plstic division
Yes and do the Metal Division for only WBO Members

Nonononono. Why would we have any sort of division just for members? We want spread the bey love! Gasp


Anyways, I'm guessing we will definitely have MFB, possibly have HMS and anyone who wants to battle with plastics can do that in free battles. I'm up for bringing my plastics if people wanna test combos and stuff. Smile

I know this sounds stupid but, Can i do that job that the blader DJ has in the tourney?
Jan. 17, 2009  10:28 AM
 
What happens if its the final and two people have the same blades?

You should be able to tell the difference. The chances of two people having the same blade are extremely uncommon.

Regarding the MFB, HMS and Plastic issue. People should just stop complaining. Beyblade is going to move on regardless of whether you want it to. Any tournaments held after this will most definately be MFB only. As said, I would be bring products to sell anyway, chances are, people will bring money to spend at the event...so people will purchase the MFB and thus own an MFB. I personally don't fancy bringing my big ol' toolbox full of HMS and MFB as I will bringing my smaller with the MFB and four or five stadiums + products from theINtoy possibly. A guy can only carry so much.

I'm not in charge of this tournament. I'm only acting as an advisor. It's impossible to cater to everyone, so I would rather push the newest series.

Darn it... I wish I cud make it but I'll be all the way in Cardiff, Wales (2 far) with my Family then...
