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 (the person who wins this) 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. If you are local to Toronto and plan on taking public transit to the venue for GRAND BATTLE TOURNAMENT 2, then you will simply have to present transfers to us when you arrive.

*ahem* remember a guy named DRAGON KING?



I'm pretty sure Time or RagerBlade are gonna win.

Yeah don't leave me out of this!
(Sorry if this is considered spam)
I will be watching on challonge.
I'M about to be there. If anyone has questions please post. I will be posting updates.
If BladerHope goes he will win. Im calling it now.
I'll be watching the challonge bracket ( I feel like I'm looking up live football scores lol) Smile. Looks like you guys already got some battles done.
Looks like likeaboss is winning right now
Time and RagerBlade aren't far behind though
Likeaboss what Beyblade are you using!?

So is that it for the round Robin?
They're gonna need to do a tie breaker. Time and Blitz armor are tied and RagerBlade might be about to tie it.

Is it just me or are they doing this tournament very fast?

EDIT: RagerBlader can't get into the finals now Unhappy. Looks like they won't need that tie breaker after all.

EDIT 2: NVM I guess. RagerBlade is in the finals!!!!
We are on the finals now!
Sweet can't wait to see who wins.
I thought only the top three bladers could go to finals?
I Guss it's because they don't have a lot of people.

If what I understand is correct (since we did it yesterday) for Qualifiers, the way finals work are different than a regular event, though that may only be because we had a 4 Block event, haha.
4 person finals?!?! Shouldent it only be 3
He's doing the finals incorrectly....If planning a full round robin it the top 3.

We never did anything like that in NC or MD so I think they are being done wrong Uncertain

Yeah, I probably just connected it to ours at first, since we had 4 Blocks and a few tie-breakers.

My bad, though- if it is a regular Round Robin, it should only be 3 finalists.
Go time( no pun intended)

Yeah now it makes sense why you guys had 4 in finals
I guess it's decided, Time is going to AN. According the challonge finals, he has 3-0 in the finals and everybody else has losses.

Unless there's another round or something since this a qualifier? I don't think so though.
Congratulations time.
Don't forget the special finals for AN lol
