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.

Keep trying! You know that the site is Metro accessible right? All you really have to do is get a ride to/from the nearest metro station to you.

Thank you very much for posting your change in plans ahead of time. I really appreciate that, and it makes registration much easier and faster when I'm not waiting for people who just aren't going to show up. You have always communicated any changes clearly, and that is very helpful. Thanks!

Bleh... I won't be able to make it this time. I have to finish a science project with my partner this weekend.

But, best of luck to everyone else that can!

Well, I'm still hopeful for the return of Otsu! BTW, did you hear that we're going to get another HMS tourney going in January?...

I'm a bit confused, you are still not coming, but you're getting a ride with DAJ? If you actually are coming, just say something short like, "I am coming".

Later tonight or tomorrow I should be able to post all the stuff that will be for sale.
I can hopefully come to the tournament
He's referring to the HMS Tourney, I think.

Speaking of which, I don't think my parents would let me go to Maryland just to blade, lol.

How about blading and the National Zoo? Its right next door. If you have younger siblings that might be a great thing for them to do while you battle. They can see the pandas, we've got a great new elephant habitat that's enormous, etc. etc.
I have an older sister actually, but she acts like a younger one lol. I'll see, I'll PM you when I can get a definite answer. Wink
I might be able to come, I don't really know. 60% yes and 40% no. so I don't really know. I hope I can go though.
Still no chance of getting a ride Unhappy

What City are you from?

I live in Chesapeake Beach, Calvert County Maryland
Can I make a paint job shop for the tourney? It would make scratched painted wheels look unscratched, and I can make cool recolors too, and all for free too, and I can go and fix beys too, and how do people become refs for tourneys?

Hmm, i can't help you with this i'm sorry

its kool, thanks anyway
Hey guys I might not be able to make it... I have been feeling a bit under the weather...
Yo I'm definitely coming to the HMS tourney....

Otsu's going to taste the wrath of my Dragoon MSUV, lol.

I won't be attending this tournament,but good luck guys anyways. Good luck beating our secret, secret, secret administrator combo.
