Oops! Haha, since our schedule is the exact same as last year, I just copied it from the BWR thread, but obviously forgot to change the name of the event on that line.
Oh ok. Cuz I thought we were gonna have war room later after the tourny when it said war room on the thread

Since you're posting here, I assume you're living in Canada? If so, then you'll be able to buy them in stores soon! Or, if you are unable to do that for whatever reason, and you are in the Toronto area, as it says in the OP, you can draft a Beyblade from us at the tournament.

If you have the option, bring your lunch, the restraunts in the area (walking distance) include: tim hortons, subway, harveys, and some family restraunts/sushi houses. There is also a 24hr convenience store, and a gas station. I think the con itself sells some food, but it's not very good and is generally overpriced.
Someone was asking for bus routes ->
Quote:Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) www.ttc.ca
The Malton 58 bus westbound, from Lawrence West subway station stops right
in front of the TCC, a stop past Martin Grove. To reach the Park Plaza
Hotel, go one stop further west and get off at Skyway. Head north on
Skyway then east on Carlson Court. For further directions, or alternate
routes, call TTC Information at (416) 393-INFO (4336) or visit the TTC
website.
Any idea what parking is going to be like?
it's usually fine, if you park directly at the hotel this is at you have to pay, if you park at the convention center it's free

Okay great, thank you. I also didn't know AN had three different venues, good to see that they have shuttle buses running.

It really isn't that far of a distance between them; I've always walked. But, it is good that they have them.
When we get there is there gonna be people telling us where events are?
Because I really don't want to get lost

AN will post a schedule on their website before the convention.
Definitely try to get a schedule before the con, and figure out where you want to go. The staff that direct people to events are always swamped, and usually have no idea where the smaller events, like our tournament, will be held. Not to mention how far away some stuff is from each other...

Yeah we walked it last year, even with all the bey-gear from the tourney. The distance is really short.

BRC is not going to be a
small event.
I'm actually worried we're going to break the maximum room occupancy this year haha, but Ron has said we might have access to another room in the event that this does happen.
We're gonna need to be very organized for the matches to run smoothly. Possibly some tournament software or something. If not I'm sure one of us can run excel during the tourney.
EDIT: You know I'll take a peak at some excel tournament grids cause that's what I do on a Friday night.

Yeah, I was going to ask you about this soon. PM me with what you find and we can figure out how we're going to organize this.
This must be a joke lol: All hotels are full LOL.

Let me clarify: I didn't mean small like poorly attended, I meant small like not everyone will know it's happening. Thousands and thousands of people attend loads of simultaneous events @ AN. People will no more know where the beyblade room is, than where the obscure card game tournament is.
can you put me on Possible Attendees because i might not be able to make it. ill infrom you a week ahead of the tounament if i can go

You need to buy a ticket to enter Anime North though, in case they verify tickets upon entry.

How much is a ticket and where do I buy one?
(May. 13, 2010 12:39 AM)lucas4lif Wrote: [ -> ]what the heck its 40 bucks just for 1 tournament........................ damn this sucks I dont think I could come
It is a lot, however it is out of our control : that is what Anime North generally charges, it is not even our entry fee, nor does it include our regular five-dollar entry fee. The tournament is definitely going to be worth it in my opinion however.
Its not JUST for the tourny. The 40 bucks gives you entery to the Anime North Convention. this is where all the anime episodes, some screening, cosplayers. The Tournament is just one of the MANY attractions inside AN.
EDIT: Kai-V, Do you have a sensor to post things like 1 minute before everyone else? Or are you just Pro? xP
