Frozen Hands: NYC Edition
Knickerbocker Avenue Weirfield St, Brooklyn, New York 11207
Meet at the Beach Ball Stage in the Center of the Park
Time: As the tournament will start promptly at 1:45 PM, please plan to arrive around 1:00 PM when registration will begin. Registration will close at 1:30pm. If the participant cap has not been met at this time, waitlisted players will be offered a spot. Confirming your attendance on the WBO event page does not substitute for registration at the venue.
Prizes: TBD
Location: This event will be held outdoors at Irving Square Park. Our play area is circled in the image below. Entrances to the park are located at each corner of the park.
Other Information:
Please come prepared. It is helpful for both hosts and judges if all participants bring at least one Takara Tomy or Hasbro-manufactured Beyblade of their own and more than one launcher when possible. Additionally, parents of children under the age of 13 must be present for the duration of the event, as tournament end times can be difficult to estimate, and we would hate for someone to be left behind once it is over.
Be aware of your belongings. We'd advise users to please, please look after your stuff. While yes this is a Beyblade tournament and we're not suggesting that any of us would attempt to take each other's stuff it is still happening at a public venue where other people (who may not be so friendly) are going to be present as well. Of course, if you see a personal belonging lying around bring it up any of the judges so we can return it to the right person. Your co-operation is appreciated!
All players must arrive on-time. The tournament will begin no later than 1:45 PM and is expected to run for 2-3 hours, though if there is a large turnout it may take longer. Please plan accordingly. If you do not arrive at the scheduled start time, you risk being excluded from the tournament. The software we use to run our events–Challonge–does not allow us to add in extra participants once the tournament has started.
If you know in advance that you will be late, please post in this thread or contact someone at the event and depending on the circumstances we can perhaps still include you if we know you will arrive soon.

Not worried about the temperature, but I will post an update tomorrow evening if it looks like the wind might be a concern. If we have to postpone the tournament, hopefully we can reschedule it for the following day (MLK day).

A Monday tournament, how rare.

That's fine. As long as he doesn't combine the F230 spin track with the Circle Flat or Gear Circle Flat tips (you'd know if you had either of them, and you probably don't) then as long as what you bought him is a valid TT or Hasbro bey, it'll be fine to participate with.
F230 + G/CF are the only Zero-G format part bans.

Oooh, that's right. There's actually a HECK of a lot of bans! Sorry for my mistake. https://docs.google.com/document/d/18nVK..._yr8/edit#
And if you need to leave early? Make sure you tell the organizer why.
Also, this is a Metal Fight Limited tournament: Don't bring your Burst beys, bring your MFBs.
