SUNDAY, MAY 4 2014 - 1PM
High Park - Toronto, Ontario, Canada
LIMITED FORMAT

The road to the Grand Battle begins! Toronto Bladers, this is your chance to earn paid travel expenses (if necessary) to ANIME NORTH, along with an AN Pass to play in the WBO North American Championship, GRAND BATTLE TOURNAMENT 2!!

Location:
We'll be playing in the shelter where we usually play. If you're coming to High Park via the Bloor entrance, just follow that road down on the right side and you'll see the large building/shelter on the left hand side before you reach the tennis courts. If you have any questions about the location, please post here! This map has the area we'll be playing in roughly outlined:



Mandatory $5 Entry Fee = More Qualifiers + Extra Credits + Free Face Booster!
To help subsidize the high cost of flying/busing the qualifiers to Toronto, a mandatory $5 entry fee will be imposed on all Qualifier Series tournaments, regardless of whether or not a participant has a Blader Passport (if you wish to purchase a Blader Passport, the total cost would be $15 at a Qualifier Series tournament), and there will be no prize reimbursement apart from the travel expenses for the winner. We hope that everyone can understand this! The more funds we have, the bigger this championship will be! However, to show our appreciation for your cooperation and support in helping to fund the championship, all participants in Qualifier Series tournaments will receive the following:

What can I win?
The winner of this qualifier will receive the following:
  • Paid travel expenses, by plane/bus/public transit (if necessary, and whichever is cheapest) to ANIME NORTH 2014 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada for GRAND BATTLE TOURNAMENT 2.
  • An ANIME NORTH 2014 Pass
Qualifiers will be responsible for finding/paying for accommodations in Toronto, but we will work closely with each of you to make sure that you find somewhere suitable. Additionally, the winner will be required to consult with the Committee before booking their flight/bus, and then after approval, provide a booking confirmation to the WBO Committee before they can provide reimbursement for the traveling costs. We can also reimburse gas costs, but in that case, reimbursement will only take place in person after we have received gas receipts. If you are local to Toronto and plan on taking public transit to the venue for GRAND BATTLE TOURNAMENT 2, then you will simply have to present transfers to us when you arrive.

Just out of curiosity, would anybody be interested in buying a Genbull chrome wheel off me for around $5, or so?
So, good news kei, my mom finally decides to let me go on my own and take a Taxi to high park but one problem it costs 200$ there and back Chocked_2 if i were to take buses i would most likely get lost. I will be making more of the tournaments now but obviously not very often since it costs a lot. i have 700$ saved up for Anime North and i don't know if i want to waste most of it just to make it to this tournament.

Ha, taking a taxi would be silly. If you want, PM me and I can help you map out the route using TTC from wherever you are. It shouldn't be that hard, honestly!
In case any of you new players attending needed help figuring out where to go tomorrow, here are some pictures showing the route you should take to arrive at the tournament location if you are entering the park from the Bloor St W. entrance. I've included them in the opening post as well. We used to include them in old threads, but they got lost somewhere along the way.

No! Beypoints, come back!

Anyways, I'm glad to see you attend another event, 1234beyblade. It's been since September since you attended one.

See you there! Also, I'm curious, how did you find out about this tournament and our site? This goes for any other new Bladers who plan on attending as well.

$50?! Speechless Why is your Mom charging you? You could probably get to High Park via TTC bus/subway with like $3 depending on where you're coming from.

Well she kinda hates when i ask her to take me since we live 50km away from high park... but yeah we could discuss the bus thing over pm so i could make every tournament!
Good luck to everybody tomorrow!
Ah, It's tomorrow. I'm very excited to see you all once again!

I won't be getting any footage, due to my camera breaking.

I'll try my best to place, and get the pass. Cause you know, 14th times the charm!

See you all then! Smile
Good luck to everyone tomorrow!

Don't forget to win that AN pass Kei! Serious

There's no need!


By the way, guys, can you please try to arrive at or before 1PM. Normally we are not very strict with when people show up, but I have to catch a flight tomorrow night and would appreciate it if we could get through the tournament at a reasonable pace from the actual start time listed in the opening post for once. It's possible we could still add you in if you show up late, but having everyone there from the beginning would make things go more smoothly. Thanks, and see you all tomorrow!
I will be selling 2 bb-10 Attack Type Stadiums Brand New in box for 35$ each, first come first serve basis.

Tongue_out Congratulations again guys! and good luck to all those participating!!

It's a North American Championship–and our second one at that–but it's still pretty awesome! It's too bad that you can't come tomorrow, but hopefully you can make it out to our tournaments this summer. Smile
Ah, the tournaments today. Can't wait to see you all there!

Woah, loving the total attendees and possible list!

1:00. They regularly don't always start on time, though.
