BEYBLADE CRUSADE 2
SATURDAY, MAY 26, 2012
Sheraton Toronto Airport Hotel - Northern Spy Room
hosted by AN GAMING @ Anime North 2012
STANDARD (MFB/BMF) FORMAT


9 AM - Free Battle & Set Up
11 AM - Registration for BEYBLADE CRUSADE 2
12:30 PM - BEYBLADE CRUSADE 2

THE CRUSADE CONTINUES! For the fifth year in a row, the WBO is proud to announce that, in association with AN GAMING division of ANIME NORTH 2012, we will be hosting BEYBLADE CRUSADE 2! Last year BEYBLADE CRUSADE ended up becoming one of the largest Beyblade tournaments ever hosted in Canada; Bladers from across Ontario–and even from as far away as New York–made the journey to Toronto, and the competition was fierce. Surely, it will be even larger, and even fiercer this year!

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 have a few options to gain entrance: a) a weekend pass, which have no been sold out, b) a day pass for Saturday at AN (if you wish to participate in all of the events and programming that AN has to offer), or c) the $5 Beyblade Pass.

The $5 Beyblade Pass will only grant you entry into BEYBLADE CRUSADE 2, and can be purchased during registration for the tournament. This is the best option for Bladers who do not wish to experience the rest of what AN has to offer.

Note: Just to clarify, the $5 Beyblade Pass is only for Saturday's event, BEYBLADE CRUSADE 2, not BEYBLADE CRUSADE: Roll Call 2 on Friday night. If you wish to attend this event you will have to purchase a Friday Day Pass if you have already not purchased a Weekend Pass.


Like last year, in an effort to build excitement and anticipation for the main event at ANIME NORTH, we will be hosting three "BEYBLADE CRUSADE RECRUITMENT SESSIONS" between the end of this month, and the week before BEYBLADE CRUSADE 2:

[Image: recruitmentsessions2012.png]

BEYBLADE CRUSADE Recruitment Session: 4 - March 24, 2012
  • Top two finishers gain the ability to choose who they face in the first round of BEYBLADE CRUSADE 2, should they attend.
  • Top two finishers from Recruitment Session: 4: theunderdog & JesseObre

BEYBLADE CRUSADE Recruitment Session: 5 - April 28, 2012
  • Top two finishers gain the ability to choose who they face in the first round of BEYBLADE CRUSADE 2, should they attend.
  • Top two finishers from Recruitment Session: 5: neilanpolbeley & 1234beyblade

BEYBLADE CRUSADE Recruitment Session: 6 - May 13, 2012
  • First place finisher gains the ability to choose who they face in the first round of BEYBLADE CRUSADE 2, should they attend.
  • First place finisher from Recruitment Session: 6: Kei

Hopefully the possibility of gaining this slight advantage in BEYBLADE CRUSADE 2 will be enticing for you all! Along with the BeyPoints, Faces, and prizes, of course. 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 Recruitment Session 4, then you will have the last choice of who you want to face in the first round of BEYBLADE CRUSADE 2. 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).






Bladers! We want YOU to bring your friends to BEYBLADE CRUSADE 2 and Recruitment Session's 5 & 6! But why should you do this, you ask? Because the more Bladers you recruit, the better the chance you'll have at winning some cool Metal Fight Beyblade ZERO-G prizes! And new Bladers equals new friends, new competition, and an insurance that Beyblade tournaments in Toronto will continue to be as exciting (and sometimes cold) as ever!


Rules
  • Step 1: Have your friend(s) create an account here on worldbeyblade.org.

  • Step 2: Bring your friend(s)–who have never played in a WBO tournament–to BEYBLADE CRUSADE Recruitment Session: 5, BEYBLADE CRUSADE Recruitment Session: 6, and BEYBLADE CRUSADE 2 and have them compete. I will mark down as they register that they are a friend of ______, so be sure to tell them to tell me that you were the person who "recruited" them!

  • Step 3: For each friend you bring, you'll be given an entry into the random draw that will take place during BEYBLADE CRUSADE 2 at ANIME NORTH 2012 on May 26th.
Additionally, if your friend plays in one of the three tournaments, and then returns for a second ... you will be given one bonus entry into the draw!

For those of you can't find any people among your regular friends to come, don't hesitate to round up people at ANIME NORTH itself, hah.


Prize Pool
  • 1st Place: BBG-03 Start Dash Set, BBG-08 Pirates Oroja, BBG-09 Random Booster Vol. 1 Thief Fennec x1
  • 2nd Place: BBG-01 Samurai Ifraid W145CF, BBG-09 Random Booster Vol. 1 Thief Fennec x1
  • 3rd Place: BBG-09 Random Booster Vol. 1 Thief Fennec x1

THE CRUSADE starts now!!


We encourage all Bladers–from the bright-eyed novice to the experienced veteran–to attend BEYBLADE CRUSADE 2, hosted by AN GAMING! With the release of Beyblade Zero G looming, now more than ever, is a time for Bladers around the world to re-energize themselves, spread their passion for the game, and charge towards the future! Join the crusade at ANIME NORTH 2012. We hope to see you there!

I think that's it, since AN will be there (put emphasis on think).


There's a 90% chance of me coming to BC2.

now thats a 80% i might go just need to buy day pass
(Apr. 08, 2012  4:09 AM)Dark_Mousy Wrote: Will you take debit cards at the event?

Pretty sure that you can't use debit for the 6$ entry fee if that's what you're asking.
If it has a Mastercard or Visa logo on it, they should take it online on AN's website for the day/weekend pass.

It's near the Toronto Congress Centre, yes. AN GAMING also takes place within that hotel, so like the past few years, the tournament is likely going to be hosted there.


IMPORTANT:
animenorth.com Wrote:As of April 9th, 550 weekend admissions are left. Single-Day sales are selling also. We advise you to pre-register now if you wish to be certain to attend Anime North 2012.

AN posted this on their website today. Again, there is a 90% chance that the $6 Beyblade Pass should be available again this year, but if you want to guarantee yourself a place right now, the only way to do so would be to pre-register for a weekend or single-day admission. There are apparently 5,000 single-day admissions available for each day of the convention, but they haven't updated their website to reflect how many of those are left ...
Where is everyone staying for this event? Im booking today finally. And i wanna be near other bladers so we can do some practicing.
Chances are that all nearby hotels are completely booked unfortunately. I booked our room within a week of last year's Anime North, hah.

Unfortunately, I'm away from everyone. I'm staying in Collingwood, ON XD It's about 2 hrs away. Maybe we can meet up on Friday? My family might land that day and check out the area. That would be cool, I need to practice haha.

EDIT: Maybe I might stay in Barrie, ON. It's about 1 hr 20 minutes away.
a+ name, very creative

Kai-V, Valentin, Dude, and I are going to be staying at the Doubletree. It's going to be a zoo haha ...

The closest ones like the Doubletree are always booked relatively quickly, but there should still be room in the hotels that are a bit further away.

KyubiBey Wrote:Maybe we can meet up on Friday?

Some of us are definitely going to meet up on Friday afternoon/night. Like last year, there is very likely going to be a tournament again as well.

thanks Cool

(I tried to think of other ideas ... but the "BEYBLADE CRUSADE" concept so perfectly reflects what the AN tournaments are about that I wasn't able to come up with anything better this year).

DJ - Sad. Guess I'll have to come to Montreal again soon.

you should get your friend to post a picture of this now infamous shoe

[/quote]

he wore that shoe a lot so i think the signature wore off and he probably threw it away. If not i would take the picture but unfortunatley I gave my sister my camera and she gone for Dominican Republic for the week

Kei can u change my name 0n the list?
I could just possibly might go since im going for vacation and visiting some relatives. But for now put me on the uncomfirmed list.
Thanks!
Would anyone be interested in doing something with plastics at AN?
i will probably come.

Where is the op btw for the AN pass
Kei, put me and my brother Kaiflame03 in the possible attendees list because we will be busy that weekend

All of the information regarding weekend/single-day passes for AN is on their website: www.animenorth.com.
I just got an AN 2012 Saturday Pass. Put me on Attendees Grin

EDIT: Never Mind my parents are still thinking if I should Ditch School D:
Won't be attending.
Feel free to mail me any articles you would like signed. Please include a $20 signing fee in the package.
I'll be around the con and I'll drop by for sure, but I'm not sure if I'm going to enter this year. It's a major time sink for me to enter the tournament and there is 0 chance of me winning. I'll probably be cosplaying as g-rev's dark/evil Brooklyn.

Yo, be solidary for me at least, hah.

Were you the one who had made a replica of Brooklyn's launcher too ? I would really want to see that.

Yeah, she was. I would really want to see it as well!
