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!

9. Terms of Service

All event attendees and users of this website are subject to our Terms of Service.

Kai-V: Thanks for reminding us all to be thankful for the opportunities we have.

@BBAMSUV: Well, good luck man and I hope to see you there! When you are confirmed, please let us know.

@Everybody: On the broader subject of prizes, please remember that if you win you get first choice of the prize pool, so if there is one prize that you like more than another you can pick that.

Also, because HMS beys are not the current generation I will have 3 MFB beyblades in the prize pool - the HMS beys will be additional things that the winners can choose from or not depending on their preference. Keeping in mind that we are going to try to get an HMS tournament going in January, its something that I thought might be useful for people who might want to enter that don't have any HMS beys.
I'm almost sure to be there, but I hope I can come, because three times a charm and this would be my third tourney entered, and I've gotten 3 times as powerful as last time and even made a special move(no joke)

Oh no, of course not! I'm just happy that HMS blades may even be offered as prizes.

If you do end up buying them, though, and nobody that places chooses to take any of the HMS, would you possibly sell them at the end of the tournament?

OK. Let us know when you are confirmed.

Thanks! You know the flip side of that is, why don't you come down in January? We will be inside somewhere, probably close to a metro station, and the megabus or Chinatown busses are pretty cheap...

Glad to have you if you'd like to come and meet folks, even better if you'd like to battle!

Sure, I don't see why not. Of course the best way to get them would be to win them, but either way that would require you to be here...

I'm an evil blader too, root for me at the tourney, for all that is evil and destructive I will win
Can someone record this tournament for me?

Bbamsuv, it gets kinda annoying when you say that. Doesn't the evil villain always lose in the end? Just saying.
