This may actually be what to do. Unless someone had a whole ton of Top Plates like Kei did Plastics and HMS to hand out, I don't think any of the attendees actually have Top Plates to use. Maybe we can have just one less side event?
Three more days till Anime North! Real excited to see you all.

Last day of work before I start on the road to Anime North!!!!!!!!

I've already addressed this at the top of this page:

You have to consider that each Team BeyBattle consists of three BeyBattles, so it wouldn't be that quick. We are also thinking of changing the rules slightly if we get 9+ teams (which is likely) because Single Elimination is what might be too quick (and also not that fair since we want people to play at least two battles); if that is the case we might do Block Round Robin with three teams per block.
As you know from BEY OR DIE, judge availability is also a slight issue at Team Format events because there's a good chance that many Team BeyBattles will contain 4+ qualified judges at once, so that slows things down too.
Does this mean that each player on a team is playing at the same time? That kinda removes the most fun element of team play — the tension of rooting for your teammates — doesn't it?

It isn't, no. That's not what I recall doing at BEY OR DIE, at least.
Six more periods of school till Anime North! I'll try my best to survive them.

I am sure there will be others looking for a team, you can probably find them at AN, Alex

Also, Bey Brad, I believe it is a taking turns system, not a everyone at once. At Bey or Die, we all had chances to root for one another and cheer each other on.
And now offically begins my travel to Anime North!!! Se y'all soon!!!
I'm leaving for Toronto now I'm so excited.
Everyone who volunteered to help with the BEYBLADE BATTLE STATIONS; I will assign you a location/partner tomorrow, so be sure to check this topic again before Friday!
Ah no no, not at all. It's like LMAO said. One battle at a time so that tension does exist and so that there is an opportunity for teammates to talk strategy in the minutes between battles.

Just in case we need extra stadiums, I will bring both bb10's that I have on me 
2 more days!!

2 more days!!
Can't believe it's so soon. Depending on the plans, I'll be there by 10:00, latest, hopefully, haha.
I can't wait to see you all Saturday.
I can't wait to see you all Saturday.
I've been really scatterbrained over the past week or two trying to get things ready for this weekend ... so I'm excited that AN starts tomorrow! I can't wait to see you all. 
Just a couple things left to take care of, including this:
Here are the pairings/locations for the BEYBLADE BATTLE STATIONS:
Locations:
1. International Plaza Hotel - Lobby
@[JesseObre] & Kei
2. Toronto Congress Center - Front Lawn
@[Mitsu] & @[Wombat]
3. Toronto Congress Center - Parking Lot Side Near Entrances
@[Dark_Mousy] & @[Leone7]
4. Sheraton Toronto Airport Hotel - Foyer, possibly just outside of our room
No one! We need more volunteers! Anyone else who is reading this by tomorrow morning let me know and I can see if we can get someone set up here.
Volunteers, please meet me in the lobby of the International Plaza hotel to pick up your flyers and posters before going to your location. I will be there at around 2:30PM or before and should be there until 4:30PM (at which point I'll be heading over to the Sheraton to set up for MFB BeyBattle Revolution). We'll be a little bit off to the left and back from the main entrance ... just look for the BB-10s haha. When you arrive you can just hang out with JesseObre and I until your partner arrives if he hasn't already.
Here is the information one more time on the battle stations in case anyone hasn't seen it:

BEYBLADE BATTLE STATIONS
Help us promote Team BeyBattle Revolution and the WBO at AN!
WHEN:
2:30PM-5:30PM, FRIDAY, MAY 22 2015
WHERE:
Sheraton Toronto Airport Hotel, International Plaza Hotel, Toronto Congress Center
WHY:
To help promote Team BeyBattle Revolution, our other events at AN, and the WBO!
HOW:
Volunteer Bladers will be paired up and scattered around the convention wielding their Beyblades, BB-10 Stadiums, Beyblade Battle Station posters, WBO Promo Cards, and flyers promoting the WBO events throughout the weekend. The goal is to attract and talk to on-lookers about our events, encourage them to attend, to join the WBO, or to simply try out Beyblade for themselves right then and there!
It will also be important to tell them to not worry if they do not have a Beyblade of their own for the events: we will have some new Beyblades available for $5 available for sale at MFB BeyBattle Revolution and Team BeyBattle Revolution that they can purchase if they would like. And for HMS BeyBattle Revolution, someone can let them borrow one.
"WHAT ... DO I GET?":
If you help out for at least one hour you'll have your choice of one of these wicked Stone Face Boosters after the convention!:
- Stone Face Booster AMETHYST [Image: vszk.png]
- Stone Face Booster SAPPHIRE [Image: 7kje.png]
- Stone Face Booster EMERALD [Image: 9wl8.png]
- Stone Face Booster RUBY [Image: 1g30.png]
- Stone Face Booster ONYX [Image: 4dtz.png]
Locations:
1. International Plaza Hotel - Lobby
2. Toronto Congress Center - Front Lawn
3. Toronto Congress Center - Parking Lot Side Near Entrances
4. Sheraton Toronto Airport Hotel - Foyer, possibly just outside of our room
Anybody who is going to be at Anime North on Friday, May 22nd ... we need your help! To help promote our events at Anime North this year I've decided to bring back an idea Bey Brad once employed years ago before BEYBLADE WAR ROOM: "BEYBLADE BATTLE STATIONS". As explained above, I am looking for volunteers to help run these battle stations throughout the convention in the hours leading up to our first tournament of the weekend, MFB BeyBattle Revolution.
There is not necessarily any limit on the amount of pairs I am looking for; we can always find slightly new locations if there's a lot of you who can help out. Once I've determined who the pairs are, we can work together to determine who will be stationed at each location, and figure out the best place to meet so that I can give you the poster, WBO Promo Cards, flyers, and BB-10 (if necessary) to use.
Please post here and let me know if you are willing to volunteer and help out with this!
If you don't have anyone specifically you would like to pair with, but want to help, post anyways and we will find someone. And if you're not available for the entire 2:30-5:30PM timespan, don't worry: even an hour would help!
Cool can't wait
Real excited for the tournament! Should be leaving by around 1:00 so I'll be able to be there by 2:30. Even now though, at 2:00 in the morning, I'm still debating as to whether I'll be wearing my cosplay today or not, lol.
Good luck to all and goodbye BeyPoints!
Oh hey- this is cool.
