Seeing as I'm new this'll be my first BB event so I'm really excited.
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.

This is the attendance list so far, question marks next to those who I'm not totally sure about or who said they were coming but didn't specify a day. I kinda assumed people were coming on the Staurday as that's normally the busiest day but I could be wrong so if you're coming on the Sunday or even both days then let me know!

And can we try not to spam up this thread too much? I know you guys are pretty chatty and that can't be helped but I don't want people to have to sift through pages of meaningless chatter to find out what's happening.

Just let MCM know if you don't get your tickets!
They should also have a map appearing on the website within the coming week. So keep your eyes peeled. I will post here as soon as they do, if nobody else does in the mean time.
What are the queues like to buy regular entry tickets on the door? I'm thinking of getting the early entry tickets just to avoid the queues; the prices aren't that much more expensive.
Oh, and it's always packed and stifling hot inside so I tend to go talk to people outside, hence I might not be indoors for too long.

Thank you Espio! I will try and keep an eye out for a map that will help people get to our event but since you're intending to post it as soon as you see one that's even better. Getting Early Entry tickets is definitely worth it because you don't have to queue for ages just to get in plus you have more time to look around. This is going to be my second Expo (and second time getting Early Entry tickets for it) but the first WBO event I have attended. I'm really looking forward to taking part and meeting some of you there!

Also, can't you make your own way there? There's a DLR station right next to it, pretty much dedicated to the venue.

But unless you've got early tickets,the lines will be very long. However, they will still be quick, if you're lucky and/or early enough.
Anyway, i wish good luck and a safe journey to anyone who either coming and if you're not, the usual of someone recording the event will make you less left out.
if u can meet me private message me and we ca n talk
If anyone could bring plastics, I still play plastics. *feels old*
Could someone also do a video aswell at the expo.
