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!

Spinster is so freaking cool. He likes everything I like. But no one can replace Valentin in my heart.

We didn't see it while cleaning up.
Kai v got some dope DC shoes fo sho.
I'm getting her some supra skytops II for her birthday.
swag level 1000.
Event was so much fun. I can't explain how great it was meeting the new people, and seeing old friends. Smile

I am, as I expected, in the "Loser's League" (The group of people that lost more matches than they won), but it was completely worth it.

Oh man! I had so much fun! It was so great to see all of you again. I loved it. It was good meeting people for the first time too! Shoutout to Valentin for being awesome and Kei, Kai-V, and Dude for the chill session before we left. Shoutout to Brad (and Brad's girlfriend) and Spinster for coming. Could you sign my shoe? And Daegor, for being so random/loud/entertaining whenever he judged my matches, or did anything at all really. Oh, and Blue for the chill bus/subway ride, and Crimson and Emily for being Crimson and Emily. Also, Real Thailand is sooo good...

Was that not Friday ? Seriously, between going to watch the last episode of a season that has already been shown in Japanese, that will probably be re-broadcast again on YTV soon and that everybody knows about already anyway, and attending not two, but three tournaments on a Saturday with some of the coolest people in the Beyblade community, yo, why did you choose YTV and Corus Entertainment. You get absolutely nothing after going to watch those final episodes, yet you would have enjoyed it so much if you had actually played.


Despite losing all my matches in three different tournaments including two which were following Single Elimination, meeting everybody really made up for it without hesitation.

Also, I was expecting more fascination for me based on what I constantly read on this board, but apparently not, which is good.


By the way, this time YTV/Corus Entertainment sent us some red wristbands where "www.beybladebattles.com" is engraved and "Beyblade" is written, as well as some cards that do not fit the 3 Segment Launcher Grip or anything else for that matter, depicting Ginga/Galaxy Pegas'u's, Masamune/Ray 'Striker', and Tsubasa/Earth 'Eagle', which seriously everyone at the tournament knew about already. Most kids who were not even really active here knew what Basalt Horogium was. I will post pictures as soon as possible.
I suggested we do something way better for Corus Entertainment and YTV next year to show them the example ...
Funny thing about that, Crusade clashed with their sneak preview of Metal Masters. However, Roll Call clashed with their showcase of the final 4 episodes of Metal Fusion. That final 4 screening was originally set for Saturday, but suspiciously was moved to Friday at 6PM at the last moment.

LMAOOOO. IKMV are you hiding something? And I can see Kai-v and Brad being brothers and sisters! And Brad is too gangsta enough....
Is kei gonna type up a big post celebrating the tournament?
