Basically, this time around we won't be having a fullscale tourney. If you want to compete between yourselves I can draw up a few RR grids while we're there but we won't be having a large tourney like last time. It'll be mainly freebattles and then for newbies, demos, explanations, etc. We need to make people feel welcome, chat to them and battle with them, etc.
Then, probably on the Saturday 3 weeks after the tourney, we'll have a tournament at Regents Park. Hopefully, we'll have got some new people interested at the Expo and might get a bigger turn out for this time around, but even if we don't then it'll still be nice to see everyone again and get some battles in. Can anyone who's interested PM or post here whether they can make that date? It'd be the 14th November. Also, any suggestions for tourney names and such are welcome. XD
If you have restrictions and think you'll only be able to make one event then I'd suggest trying to make the tourney. However, I still want to see as many people as possible at the Expo because we'll have loads of fun and battles there too and I need you guys to help spread the Beyword.

Any other questions, post here or PM me. Please, please make sure you know how you're getting there, travelling around London can be tricky, especially when random tube lines are closed sporadically. So it's best to know exactly what you're doing and have a back up plan. My number is 07504988874, call or text if you're running late/lost.

It was good to see you too! Yes I was hyped. Lolz. Sorry if I seemed a bit overexcited. It's just that this was my first time Blading against other people in years and meeting the guys who I've chatted to a lot on here in person. I also met Espio, who lives near me and used to go the college I attend until recently (and whose sister is in my English Language A2 class lolz). I hope one day we can meet up and battle now that I have some MFBs.
It was cool to finally learn some stuff about MFBs and your advice, cutewolfsam, helped me - especially regarding my launch technique. Thank you to Blitz and Rocky too for showing me the ropes about customising the Metal Fight Beyblades and about what parts to use to create good Stamina, Defence and Attack types. I really enjoyed the experience and this was the first WBO event I have attended so thank you all for making it so worthwhile! I'd definitely come again. I have learnt so much and now I look forward to trying out the other MFBs I have bought from Heart when they arrive. (Shame he couldn't come!)
theflightyellz: It's a shame I didn't get to meet you as well but hopefully I will at some point in future. ^^ Regarding your comments about MFB battles, my friend (who I talked about on here, got back into Beyblade and thoroughly enjoyed this event!) used my mobile phone and videoed me battling somebody with the MFBs I bought from Blitz (you had really good prices so I'm glad I got some blades from you). I'll download what was filmed when I can and put it up on Youtube.
cutewolfsam: Yes, my friend absolutely loved it and I'm glad she had a go at battling. She was the one who found the event stand in the first place (we took ages searching for it - nobody knew where it was nor if it was on! Even the staff and officials. We thought at one point about giving up but it was by pure luck we discovered the location on our last search). She has even offered to bring her portable stadium into college after half term so we can battle (woot!), saying I should have told her earlier that I liked Beyblade. I'm looking forward to your PM and advice (I'm even more taken by MFBs thanks to this event than before).
Blitz: It was good to meet you and thanks again for the MFBs you sold me. I have wanted a Pegasis for ages! The Stamina type blade I got from you is good too because I now have something to pit against the Pegasis when I practice.

bbgoldflame: Well as I said on the last page, we'll be having a tournament at a meet up in November, it'll most likely be on a Saturday.
Hopefully you can make it down, possibly arrange some way of getting to London with Espio?
theflightyellz:The November tournament sounds good. I'm assuming it's all MFB? I may or may not be able to go but I'll let you guys know nearer the time although it's unlikely I will (since my family might have something on). However, thanks for your suggestion. I might consider contacting Espio about going to London with him should I be able to come.
The best thing you can do is keep a close eye on everything you have, and don't lend out anything that you don't mind going missing :\
Also as I've said before, put your initials on launchers and ripcords, or do something to them to make them more distinguishable so people don't pick them up by accident.
yay i met bbgoldflame xD
Pikachao where were you >_______>
Awesome to hear most of you had a good time. ^^
Guys be very hesitant to whom you lend stuff to, and make sure to have all your equipment on your person at all times. A backpack is very useful.
a lot of us tried to inform passers by that they were peoples blades, not free gifts.
Some people wanted them to play with them: One guy went "which one can I use?" and his mate pointed straight at my blade. I was like " thats my blade, by the way" and they just walked off. Lol
A great day overall, I kept my kit very close to me at all times, got quite wary at one point though. Its just a shame people see a glinting MFB and slip it into their pocket. They may not even know how to use them, but they keep them as a souvenir. Bstds
I met a lot of new faces, came mates with this sixth former who had the Dranzer V2 Rc launcher and a vortex ape. Met a few people from the community; Blitz, CWsam, Zero... Also great to show people how to play the game, where to get blades etc.
btw Rocky, I was that blonde kid who bought Jiraiya MS. It was kinda awkward trying 2 say hi though lol

tracksuit bottoms
chelsea-blue string bag

came at about 1:00

Pikachao where were you >_______>
I turned up a few times but, first day I had tons of things to do (pictures with cosplayers, people wanted a picture with me in my cosplay, playing left 4 dead 2 and other games, buying pocky etc. etc. and when I turned up a few times but not too many people were there.
Second day I was stewarding for the first 5 hours (I turned up a couple of times but it seemed there was barely anyone there except randomers from expo)
Rocky and that can vouch for me being there, but in May I will make sure to dedicate an entire day to WBO like I did at this year's May expo.
