hosted by AN GAMING @ Anime North 2011

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!

You need to upload the picture onto a image sharing website. Head to Imgur.com, click "Computer", find the file you want to upload, click it twice, click upload, and copy and paste the forum code (it will have "[img]" and "[/img]" tags).

I'm finding this really hard to believe, haha.
Man, just saw jesse's vids. Makes me wish we had an USA Ver of WBO. Like Italy has. Y_Y and Kei... dam boy you keep changing your hair man. Looking like Napoleon Dynamite-The Clean Version. And I FINALLY SAW VALENTINE. He hasnt grown from the Anime Revival North last year. He just changed his hair. I enjoyed seeing Vets and founders/mods in the vid. Makes me wish I had sign up on WBO earlier.... when I was in 6th grade lmao.
exactly how many people came?
That missing post bug is back again... Unhappy

oh yeah and thanks To!
MajinShadow; you now make me so jealous man! From the looks of it, you guys had a MUCH bigger room than last time!

lol sorry but not my fault you're jealous and to make you even more he signed my stadium

It actually worked out beautifully.

The Muskoka 3 room already had people in it, set up. (When I got there, I kept wandering around trying to find where the tournament would be held, eventually I ran into Cye and IKMV)
Eventually we got set up in the Muskoka 2 room, which was WAY bigger than Muskoka 3.

Needless to say, we were damn lucky that we got such a big room. With the turnout, we would have been pretty screwed if it was smaller.
No way! Last years room seemed a tad small IIRC.
As for you, MajinShadow, expect a mugging in your recent future, haha.
Looks like I have to come next year.

Haha we'll see and I forgot to mention it sucked that you didn't come because there were huger prizes than last year well you should have gone lol
Everyone involved in organizing this tournament should give themselves a pat on the back. I was so surprised with how professional and prepared the tournament was, given that it was all non-paid work. World-class event no doubt.

Personally, I had a ton of fun and found out that I have not outgrown beyblading. Thanks! Aha
We had sixty-one participants for BEYBLADE CRUSADE, which is very disappointing compared to the eighty-six who had actually bothered to sign up online to say that they were confirmed to attend ... Apparently it still broke the record of attendance in Toronto though.

Possibly we did not make it clear enough who I was, so some people just did not know. That is what some of my friends said ...
Kai-V, I have a [Q?] are you an hip hop person? Eee, then we have something more in common. I think people wanted to act calm in front of her lmao. I would've acted like my self.
I forgot to shoutout Dude and Daegor in my original post. Fixed it.

Also, next time I'm flying in.

Haha, I didn't talk to Kai-V or anything, but she didn't strike me as a huge hip-hop fan with that Dir en Grey shirt on.

Hi everyone, Valentin and I finally got in about an hour ago from AN. We met up with Blue and his sister today, eventually going to Boston Pizza for dinner. Smile

I'll post my thoughts on the event tomorrow, and I'll hopefully be able to start with the large pile of work I have ahead of me as well haha ... (registering new members, processing results, etc.)

This year went incredibly smoothly. I can't thank everyone enough who helped me out, and everyone for showing up too!

Hahaha, you're welcome! Hope to see you around this summer.

I was just as shocked as you were at the relatively anti-climatic reaction towards you in general. Maybe we just built it all up inside of our heads, hah.

Anyways, I've gone through all of the photos I have from AN, and have picked out the best ones to share with you guys right now!
