Brad: you can always try hehehe.
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.

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.

Also, sorry Rocky, I would help on friday but I can't for two reasons, the first is because of money and the second is because I have got to be somewhere by 11:09am which is a pain in the butt. *sigh*

Dude, look at the map again:

We're practically next to some of the popular stands, it's like the event organisers want us to have the biggest turnout possible out of all the stands! Though with that, I think we may need a new server in the event a lot of people want to join this group, but that's the british section of the WBO: So productive, we'd could just as well do a Meetup with a different country.
There is a slight worry about the amount of room we have....if that's as big as I think it is then it'll be quite small. Most groups with that kinda of space would be selling and have one or two tables dividing the space and leave it as that, I'm guessing we'll have it more open plan. We'll have to watch out for fire safety hazards and whatnot but I think it'll be alright if we branch into at least the back aisle, people often sit there anyways (plus that means our bey will be battling at ground level rather than on high tables ). Let's make the whole area reasonably ours.
Oh yeah, but when it's Guest Signing it's gonna be hella packed. Hella packed.

Last time it was signings for Merlin and there was that massive que with people staring at ussss
Also, to make sure; when people got their tickets, did it come in an email as a pdf file that you had to print?
Cause that was the case for me - maybe its their way to beat the postal strike
Did anyone else have to do this?

No, my brother got ours through the post but I think he did it pretty early anyway.
Just as a side note: My bro is going to be cosplayed up as Urahara so look out for him if you can.
This is potentially to beat the postal strike, but also to remove ticket delays etc., which would cause entry problems.
I had to do this, having ordered them this week.

Y'know I forgot to say, I know you weren't really serious but knowing Alex and how laid back he is he probably will. He lets me use his staff discount when I buy games lol

I'll bring Yellow with my Grey Brick! :3
I'm curious as to how many people will be taking their plastics? I didn't plan on taking mine as my collection is on the small side, but if lots of poeple are taking them I may aswell.
Neek I'll show you my newbie team (Cyndaquil and Bellsprout) on silver Fail
Anddd Is that guy selling new video games? (Like if it was FIFA 10 I would buy it ASAP!)

Don't worry, I'm only just up to beating the elite four on my Crystal and my Pokémon are pathetic on yellow, only around level 40. I haven't gotten round to training lvl 100s again yet lol.
Anyway, on topic, are you sure you're going to make posters for the event?
