BEYBLADE CRUSADE
SATURDAY, MAY 28, 2011
Sheraton Toronto Airport Hotel - Muskoka 3 Room
hosted by AN GAMING @ Anime North 2011

STANDARD (MFB/BMF) FORMAT

9 AM - Free Battle and Set Up
10 AM - Registration for BEYBLADE CRUSADE: Wake Up Call
10:30 AM - BEYBLADE CRUSADE: Wake Up Call

11 AM - Registration for Bladers who have signed up and paid online
11:30 AM - General Registration for BEYBLADE CRUSADE
12:30 PM - BEYBLADE CRUSADE


For the past three years we've hosted our marquee tournament at ANIME NORTH–BEYBLADE'S NOT DEAD! in 2008, BEYBLADE WAR ROOM in 2009, BEYBLADE REVIVAL CUP in 2010–and this year will be no different! In association with the AN GAMING division of AN2011 we will be hosting our tournament this year under the title, BEYBLADE CRUSADE!

No Beyblade? No problem! We're going to try to obtain Beyblades to bring with us so you'll be able to draft the parts to form a full Beyblade (for approx. $10), then you can play and trade with other Bladers before the tournament to hone your skills!

A Blader Passport is not required for this tournament, as AN does not allow event organizers to charge entry fees for events within the convention. However, if you want to support the WBO so we can host even better tournaments with even better prizes in the future, and participate in the BeyPoints ranking System in future tournaments, then you will need one! So, if you wish to purchase one at the tournament, that is still possible. To participate in the tournament, you must either purchase a weekend pass or a day pass at AN (if you wish to participate in all of the events and programming that AN has to offer), or alternatively, AN has graciously created a special $6 ticket this year for people who want to participate only in BEYBLADE CRUSADE.

You can sign up/purchase your ticket here: http://www.formstack.com/forms/?1062968-hwu8IOQkLu

Once purchased, you will receive an e-mail confirmation. On the day of BEYBLADE CRUSADE, present this confirmation to the person registering everyone and you will be given some sort of identification (probably a stamp or wristband).

The people who choose to sign up online and pay their fee can register half an hour prior to general registration. When general registration for people who have not signed up online begins, a second line for the people who did sign up/pay online will be formed as well in case they chose not to arrive earlier. As you can imagine, this second line for people who have signed up/paid already will move quite quickly. So, it is to your advantage to sign up/pay in advance!

The AN tournament has become a tradition of sorts, and while what we've accomplished in the past three years has been great … we are not going to rest on our laurels this time around! We're going to take this tournament to the next level.

How so, you ask? In an effort to build awareness and excitement for BEYBLADE CRUSADE this May we are going to be hosting three tournaments in the upcoming months under the name "BEYBLADE CRUSADE RECRUITMENT SESSIONS". Here's how each of them is going to work:

[Image: RECRUITMENTSESSIONSsmall.png]

BEYBLADE CRUSADE Recruitment Session: 1 - March 26, 2011
  • 15 participant limit
  • Round Robin
  • Top two finishers gain the ability to choose who they face in the first round of BEYBLADE CRUSADE, should they attend.
  • Top two finishers from Recruitment Session: 1: Kei & !!!

BEYBLADE CRUSADE Recruitment Session: 2 - April 30, 2011
  • 30 participant limit
  • Block Round Robin
  • Top two finishers gain the ability to choose who they face in the first round of BEYBLADE CRUSADE, should they attend.
  • Top two finishers from Recruitment Session: 2: Xman8024 & Pyro

BEYBLADE CRUSADE Recruitment Session: 3 - May 15, 2011
  • No limit on participants
  • Single elimination
  • First place finisher gains the ability to choose who they face in the first round of BEYBLADE CRUSADE, should they attend.
  • Top finisher from BEYBLADE CRUSADE Recruitment Session: 3: ElJihado

Hopefully the possibility of gaining this slight advantage in BEYBLADE CRUSADE will be enticing for you all! Along with BeyPoints, Faces, and prizes, of course. And as you can see, it becomes more difficult to procure the aforementioned ability with each tournament that passes. Additionally, the order in which the top finishers choose who they face in that first round will be according to which tournament they placed in, but reversed (ex. If you come in first place at the first Recruitment Session, then you will have the last choice of who you want to face in the first round of BEYBLADE CRUSADE. This way, even if someone else picks you, you can still choose not to face them if you do not want to, thus nullifying their choice, forcing them to choose someone else).


Will you be at AN on Friday night? If so, then you might want to check out our other tournament, BEYBLADE CRUSADE: Roll Call!


We encourage all Bladers, both the brand new and the old to attend BEYBLADE CRUSADE, hosted by AN GAMING! With Beyblade's popularity continuing to rise, and our efforts to make this an even bigger tournament than it has ever been in the past, this has the possibility of becoming the largest tournament we have ever hosted, which means that competition will be fiercer than ever! You don't want to miss it! Hope to see you there!

If you think you'll be able to come to BEYBLADE CRUSADE, please post here and I will start building an attendance list!

Yes, there will definitely be a video for this tournament! And hopefully BEYBLADE CRUSADE Recruitment Session: 3 too.
Off to Europe today. For all of those who I won't see this year at AN I hope you guys have a great and successful tourney. I'm a little sad I won't be able to make it Smile
You should ask Ron for access, there's some bad typos on that form

Have fun in Europe! I'm definitely sad you can't make it this year!

Aah, yeah ...

By the way, Ron told me to say "Hi" to you for him yesterday. He wasn't ever really in the loop about what happened when you left the WBO, so he had a few things to say before I explained to him the situation with you haha.
Sign me up. I'm in for sure. Can't wait!
I signed up on the website. Just realized I haven't done that.

Kei, I'm going to have a poster printed up of the WBO rules. I've found that reading the rules before the tournament is incredibly redundant since many people do not listen to them anyway. It's easier to hold them responsible by announcing that they are on the poster at X location. I'll bring that up with me as well.

Also, I'll be bringing Mantis, a monitor, and extra computer, equipment for livestream and a printer. Mantis is my double elimination software, as I've said before. The computer and monitor I'm going to start using to display who will be facing whom at what stadium. If you want to use any of this, be my guest. If not, I need to take it with me anyway.

Aha! So it wasn't redundant for me to continually re-post the link!

That's a good idea, actually. Could you show me the poster before AN?

A printer?! But, that's awesome. Thank you; I'm sure we'll be able to use all of that stuff.

A printer for Mantis - without it, it's hard to keep track of wins and losses.

Yes, I'll have to design it in Photoshop (make it eye-catching) and then I'll forward the PSD to you. Is there any way you can reread the rules and see if anything is forgotten (i.e. switching modes) that I should include in the poster?

If you'd like, I'll make an extra to leave with you in Canada. I think it will be more effective than handing out rule books.

What? I don't understand.

Of course. Just put what you think the most important rules are (you obviously won't be able to fit it all on the poster, and not everyone would read it anyways) for now.

This poster is going to be big. This is my CYA billboard.

In Mantis, the pairing get printed. Without circling the print-outs, it's hard to remember who lost to whom.

I see ... so you can't do everything within the program? That's lame.

You can, but it's a pain to view who won against whom... or at least I haven't found that feature yet. It's easier with print-outs.

Mantis was originally designed to interface with a separate online ranking system.
I'm gonna destroy all of you with my Quetz 90RF, you just wait

Damn, can't compete with that.
Get me off that list, immediately. In fact, I resign from the website.

we'll see who comes on top when you face my Counter Leone 100Rf
You all would never EVER! compete with my Lightning Tank Smile
Majin, stop boasting about "your Lightning Tank" If you weren't even the one who made the combination.
I am a possible attendee.
Do you mind putting me for possible attendees?Pinching_eyes_2
gurugulu was wondering why we didn't have a selling thread, so I made one! http://worldbeyblade.org/Thread-BEYBLADE...ing-Thread
If anyone wants to ride back with me to go to the New York Beyday event, I'll put you up in a hotel here for free (as long as you don't mind sharing with me). All you have to do is pay for a bus back. You must have an enhanced ID or passport and over the age of 18, FYI.
