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.
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!

As always, my sales will be first come, first served. No reservations.

Not this year. I want to keep the focus on the main tournament. ;)

Hmm... I have just enough Money for a Beyblade! But you will not be the only one selling beyblades right?

There should definitely be more if they can make it. I'll personally be selling a BD145 and Spark dragon (HMS) for anybody who wants one.
Also, I got an update from Kei, He said that he'll be talking to Ron later today so he should have an answer by then regarding the Blader's Pass.
wait its in a hotel? i thot it was at the actual an it says @an gaming im confused

I'll be attending for sure, but I will most likely scrub out. On a side note is Kai-V attending again this year? I missed her last year (no bloody idea how I did that as I was in the room until the last match).

Anime North is always hosted in some hotels' first-floor rooms. There are some panels at the Toronto Congress Center too, but our Beyblade tournaments have always been in hotels rented by Anime North.

Yes, I am announcing officially that I am going this year too.
It is OK, everybody missed me as well ...

That's not entirely true... Unless you mean the WBO in which case ignore this. The first tournament I was at (didn't play in) Was in the Congress centre itself. It's actually the one where Minion was first dressed as Brooklyn with that foam "launcher" of hers (I think it was hosted by OtC), but this is going way back... there were plastics that year.
Excellent I look forward to meeting you.
Hm, in my memory, we had always been at a hotel, although the hotel changed once and we have been there since. I believe you if you say that it was at the Toronto Congress Center once though. But yes, I was only counting since 2007-2008.
Are you entering the tournament Kai-V

If you have a Duo, I think Valentin and I will be very interested in trying it.
This is just a remind to everyone. Today May 18th is the last day to buy Saturday Passes for AN. Go Here for tickets
add me to attendees

It was in 2005 haha. There's actually a few videos from the event on Google Video: https://www.google.ca/search?q=AN05&start=0&num=10&tbm=vid#q=AN05&hl=en&tbm=vid&psj=1&ei=Y9i2T-GBEe3G6AGAyvzZCg&start=110&sa=N&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=2b17e2826f193b57&biw=1224&bih=746
I could have sworn there being a lot more a few years ago, but I can't seem to find them ...
Prizes arrived today!

Anything been said about the Beyblade pass?
My flight arrives at 1. Can you guys let me enter later in the tourney?
It should be your responsibility to make sure that you come the day before or so. If this was a regular tournament, I'm sure that there would be no problems, but this is supposed to be the biggest tournament of the year. Plus, while your flight may arrive at 1:00, don't you have to check in your hotel, pick up your baggage, etc? I'll let Kei answer whether they'll be willing to wait or not.
So, I just got off the phone with Ron: we should have an answer regarding the $6 Beyblade Pass by Monday or Tuesday. He wants it to happen just as much as we do, but unfortunately, he is not the one in a position to make the decision.
Yeah .... KyubiBey, if your flight is arriving at 1PM, by the time you make it to wherever your staying then make it over to the Sheraton, it's going to be much too late. Even if you can guarantee me that you'll be there, I can't really save a spot for someone that will be showing up two hours late (which is what I am estimating it would be), especially since we'll probably be doing Double Elimination.
Nevertheless, you're still welcome to come and free play/hangout with everyone! The tournament is the main focus, but the real reason it is always such an unforgettable experience is because of the time you get to spend with everyone else.
