We’ve got all the info on the new tournament ready for you, along with some exciting new news. First things first, we’re changing the way were running the tournament….check out the rules below. Please note that this event is only held at our Nepean/Ottawa Location.
Divisions: From now on we will be running the tournament in 3 divisions: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. Beginner is for younger players and those new or inexperienced with Bakugan, Advanced is for those older players or ones who enjoy playing just for fun, and Advanced is for the pros and those who want to play to win (That’s Me!). Each division will take a maximum of 8 players.
Prizes: First of all, we will no longer have door prizes. Instead however, prizes will go to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd players for EACH division. So that’s 9 prizes all around! We’ll also have a small surprise for all participants who attend. Also, prizes will be handed out as each division ends.
Training Days: We’ve got 3 training days planned for kids and parents to learn how to play the game or just get practice. We will also be using the training days to gauge which division each player should belong in. These workshops are FREE and we highly recommend attending one.
Trading Day: We’ve also had requests for a Bakugan Trading day, so we’ve decided that we’ll give it a try. The trading day will take place at the same time as the Workshop on Tuesday August 4th. Kids will be free to trade bakugan and cards, but all trades will have to go through either parents (of both children) or a staff member. This is to make sure all trades are fair (No Tigrerra’s for Metalfencers).
Games Played: In the past, some tournaments would get in more games than other because of how fast or slow some games went. From now on, to ensure steady progress and not too much time spent waiting, the tournament will comprise of 3 rounds (lasting 30 minutes) with 15 minutes between each round.
Time Limit: When time is called, each player will have 5 shots left to try to win or get as many gate cards as they can. At the end of the 5 shots, the player with the most gate cards wins. In case of ties, it will go to a shootout.
Registration Fees: We have an early bird registration fee of $5 for any participant who registers and pays before Sunday, August 9th. Anytime afterwards, the fee will be $7.
