We'll try for October then and see what happens. I will provide an update as soon as possible.
RE: [Los Angeles CA, USA] LA Tournament - Meta madness - Aug. 27, 2015
Anyway that I could give off possible assistance? As of a recent event consider me available for providing aid where it's needed~
RE: [Los Angeles CA, USA] LA Tournament - Bey Brad - Aug. 27, 2015
Try posting on Craigslist or other local event sites in your area
@[LMAO] told me a lot of Toronto members were discovered this way.
RE: [Los Angeles CA, USA] LA Tournament - LMAO - Aug. 27, 2015
Yeah, exactly!
If you can find a classified ads site for LA specifically, that may be better than Craigslist, but you should post ads on as many sites as possible. Alta, you're doing a great job with your dedication towards hosting a tournament!
RE: [Los Angeles CA, USA] LA Tournament - ThaKingTai - Aug. 28, 2015
That is really brilliant! I'll try that for sure considering I already have a Craigslist account set up!
Now that I am staying in Los Angeles permanently (until university, of course), I'm pretty much confirmed for any event, but I might not be as active as I am now so I'll send Alta my new e-mail address. I should also be able to help out with stadiums and prizes but mid-September or October. I definitely want to do something on or before Nov. 29 (BDay).
RE: [Los Angeles CA, USA] LA Tournament - Achi-baba - Aug. 28, 2015
I still have my Three BB-10's and prizes. And club rush is tomorrow, so I should have a general idea of possible future attendees soon. I would like to Co-host if you need help. I'm not comfortable with hosting my own tourneys at the moment.

I would appreciate any help we can get, maybe you could see if any of your friends might be interested, anything would be useful.

That sounds like a good idea to try Craigslist and classified ads, as for posting things in local event sites, I was going to post this at event sites around LA:

Thank you for the kind words LMAO.

I would appreciate any help I can get with advertising the event, as well as help getting prizes for it. If we can get the September/October event planned out, November also seems like it would be a great time to hold another event.

That sounds great, hopefully we will be able to get enough regular attendees in the future so that we won't be just barely meeting the minimum anymore. I could definitely use a co-host, so if you are interested in doing it I'm all for it.
RE: [Los Angeles CA, USA] LA Tournament - Meta madness - Aug. 28, 2015
Anything would be useful eh? Hmph, if that is completely true then thankfully I do have some friends who're still into this and after hours of convincing I was only able to convince 1 of 3 them to attend with me. After reading much of the advertising and what not in that post. I'd be more than happy enough to help spread the word since due to some recent events, consider me a primary assist in this.
RE: [Los Angeles CA, USA] LA Tournament - ThaKingTai - Aug. 28, 2015
How does October 24/25 sound for everyone? It seems far enough for everyone to figure out if they can attend and make arrangements and also so that we can advertise it as well. It also gives me time to make purchases for the tournament as well.
On the advertising part, how does this sound:
Quote:Craigslist Ad reads:

Well it's good to hear that you at least got one person, just make sure they sign up for an account so they can attend. As for spreading word of the event, I think we could all do something to gather interest, I want to finish up the final version of the flyer I posted, I just have to put a date and all the other info and make it all really concise. When the flyer is finished, I can share it on here for any of you guys who want to print it out and post it around your area.

The 24th sounds like it would work best, and generally people can work with Saturdays.
As for the advertisement, I could not have done it better myself, really nice job on it. I can't really think of much we should add to it, other than maybe making it a bit more prominent that there will be prizes in order to encourage people to come.
RE: [Los Angeles CA, USA] LA Tournament - Achi-baba - Aug. 29, 2015
Also add links to these threads, expect people to be too lazy to type.
RE: [Los Angeles CA, USA] LA Tournament - ThaKingTai - Aug. 30, 2015
Okay, so the ad for the tournament has been posted! Tell me if I need to add anything.

Confirmed:

Taiwo Seigi

Halloween Metal Bash!

Looks good. I will group message everyone to update them about the new date, you can also confirm me as "Alta (host)" just so there is no confusion. We can all discuss the name for the event, I'm still not sure what I'd like to do with it, personally I took a bit of a liking to the idea of naming the events after songs from the original Beyblade, though I'd also like to have some relevance to Halloween in the title as well.
RE: [Los Angeles CA, USA] LA Tournament - Meta madness - Aug. 30, 2015
-Rise above Halloween
-Halloween weight generation beyblade
-Bey battles all across Halloween
-Let's Halloween Beyblade
-spooky scary skeleton
There is more than enough footage of other international tournaments that could give you some inspiration really on what to do with it. There is always a lot of room for growing and there is always room for adjustments so let's all decide if necessary.

-Night of the spinning dead. I couldn't include a song, but at least I tried.

Damn, that's actually really good.
RE: [Los Angeles CA, USA] LA Tournament - ThaKingTai - Sep. 01, 2015
I think we will go with that.
@[earthwolf1404] Are your confirmed or possible?
No replies to the craigslist ad yet, but hopefully there will be some soon.
RE: [Los Angeles CA, USA] LA Tournament - Achi-baba - Sep. 01, 2015
I'm confirmed. I'm glad you guys like it. First meeting is in two days so I will give you feedback on if anyone from my club is interested.
RE: [Los Angeles CA, USA] LA Tournament - ThaKingTai - Sep. 04, 2015
Okay, so just 3 or 4 more people until we can do a proposal!

I do truly hope this goes quicker than last time to gain the attendees needed, it really should be because I messaged everyone who has been available previously, which is about 9 or so members, plus we have an ad on Craigslist, earthwolf might get some people from his club to attend, and at some point I also still plan to post flyers around LA and in Emerald Knights.
When we get enough members I'll make a proposal, just so there is no confusion with who is the host.
RE: [Los Angeles CA, USA] LA Tournament - ThaKingTai - Sep. 04, 2015
That's fine with me.
No results from the ad yet but I'm still hopeful.
Is there anything that we might not have thought of that we should do? October will come fast and we need to get everything in place before we have this tournament.

Try Facebook groups (notably the Beyblade Page), YouTube, etc.
RE: [Los Angeles CA, USA] LA Tournament - Bey Brad - Sep. 05, 2015
Night of the Spinning Dead is a great name, so I sincerely hope you can pull it off.
RE: [Los Angeles CA, USA] LA Tournament - Meta madness - Sep. 05, 2015
Err, wait a minute....Atla, lol aren't you in the BeyUK pro- hmph, knew something was familiar about you though tsk, that's of little to no concern as of currently. Since I'll be in mid-south Cali for the second half into the early half of October, I can be assisting with the poster and notifications for the tournaments. Though the proposal set up is of concern to me for a reason of the set up.
Though once it's established then I'm positive it won't be much of my worry anymore~
