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!

What were the prizes at this tournament? Who got what prize?
I got driger ms but the rip broke right out of the package Uncertain
I know that there was a Scythe, RBV8, and an Aries 145D. As of the HMS, I know that there was a Driger MS, Gaia Dragoon, and something else I didn't happen to catch the name of. Bigbang4ever took the Scythe, Ryugablader took the RBV8, Galaxy took the Driger MS, and I bought the Aries 145D. As for the Gaia Dragoon and the other unknown thing I didn't catch the name of, no one took those.

Edit: Thanks to Galaxy, I now know that the other beyblade I didn't know the name of was another Driger MS.
There were 2 Driger MS lol

Good! Well be glad to have you!

I should have the January thread up sometime next week.
The January thread should be up sometime in the next few days. The date will be January 21, 2012, and the location will again be the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, DC.

I know that several of you have requested a location closer to MLK park, and I tried finding other hotels further north that had meeting room space. Unfortunately, all of the quotes from these hotels were at least double what I am paying for the meeting room in DC - and I'm already paying about twice what the room fee provides, so I hope you can understand that I can only afford so much and bear with me here until Spring.

Thanks!
This tournament has now been processed, and all Faces and Credits have been awarded. Congratulations all!

And an extra-special congrats to Galaxy4Stars on his first Gold!!! Eee
Plus my beypoint sky rocketed haha and my new shiny ring face :3
That's a pretty impressive 3rd row alright! Eee
