Hi everyone! We finally have an indoor venue for December's tournament The Holiday Hammer!

Please note that the location for this month's tournament is in Washington, DC - not Silver Spring. I am still looking for a more permanent venue for the winter months, but until then I have rented a conference room in a nice hotel.

The Marriott Wardman Park Hotel is located about 100 yards west of Connecticut Avenue on Woodley Road. Parking in the surrounding neighborhoods can sometimes be challenging due to the close proximity of the National Zoo, so please plan to either arrive early to find free parking, arrive whenever and pay for parking, or take the DC Metro Red Line to the Woodley Park / National Zoo station and a very short walk to the hotel.

Date: Saturday, December 10, 2011

Location: The Marriott Wardman Park Hotel: 2660 Woodley Road NW · Washington, DC 20008 (We will be in the McKinley Room) https://www.marriott.com/hotels/maps/tra...dman-park/
Registration: 11:00am - Noon
Start time: 12:30-ish
Format: TBD based on size
Surface: Carpet!
Fees: $5 Room Fee + Standard WBO fees: $5 entry fee or $10 for a Blader Passport that gives you free tournaments for a year
Prizes: TakaraTomy beyblades TBD (Maybe HMS beys???) . 1st place picks first prize from the pool, etc. etc.

Please post to this thread if you plan to make it!

Alright you 4, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that all of you can come. Remember, key points:
  • This tournament is going to be inside
  • Its going to be warm inside, with nice padded chairs to sit on
  • There's a McDonald's around the corner and a Starbucks in the hotel
  • You can take the Metro!

These are all things that parents tend to think are good things, so if your parents are on the fence, break out the list! Smile

There's 2 option
A(Outside): Take Greenbelt Station towards to Branch Ave. and get off on Fort Totten then take the red line to Shady Grove or Grosvenor-Strathmore till you arrive to Woodly Park-Zoo/Adams Morgan

B(Indoor): Take Greenbelt Station towards to Branch Ave. and get off on Gallery Pl-Chinatown and change trains to Red line to Shady Grove till you arrive to Woodly Park-Zoo/Adams Morgan

Hopes this helps Smile

Hmm... Possible HMS blades as prizes?

I may have to consider coming to this event... Chief 2002 - Hmm ...
Well, they aren't going to be a Wolborg or Dragoon MSUV or anything, but maybe Gaia Dragoon or Driger or something like that. I've got to see what I can sort out...

Hope you can come though! Same goes for you Captain! othellog, do your best!

nerfblader, we'll miss you man, but look forward to seeing you in January!

Did you say driver or Gaia dragoon? I'm disappointed I already have red driger ms, if I win could there be a jade Jupiter as the prize?

Do not be an ingrate and just be happy whatever the prizes are because there could be none.

Sorry Kai-v, but I've never won a prize for a tourney so I was just hoping for some new options of an arsenal, now back on topic I am almost sure I'll be there now becauseof the list of food places and will probably win because my basalt is coming in the mail soon! (My dad got it for me 2 days ago on amazon prime so I will probably get it today)
