If one of the person played the event and stayed in the final and stole his stuff will be told to his/her parents and ban him for the next tournament? So His stuff that was taken was Grip with Beypointer, Angle compass and Light Launcher 2 Omega and I have no idea what else he brought....

2nd Place.....The MD Prince...Galaxy4Stars

4th Place......A Blader with High Blader Spirit...myjuto!

I remember watching BRV battle and he used Omega Dragonis TR145wf/xf

He would've won if he didn't face any Basalt carpGreen TALK TO THE POOR BLADERS that a good solution to start out?
I know right? In NY we use like everything. Here, almost all I saw was Basalt BD
We should all watch very carefully nex tournament to find who takes our things. At all the tournaments I have been to things have been stolen.Next time I will have a list. I also lost my new Metal Flat if anyone picked it up people kept poking at my stuff random people that is who might have somethings... Well I placed YAY.I was shcked to get to the finals. To think I was so close to second I am amazed at how close I was. Next time I'm gunning for 2nd or above. So I weill be blasting ven harder next time lol.
I went through my parts after the tournament and I'm missing 2 basalt wheels.

Hi everyone! With 42 Bladers engaged in Cherry Blossom Combat we broke the record for MD's biggest WBO tournament! WTG!
Here are the official results from the Finals...
1st place: Arupaeo
2nd place: Galaxy4Stars
3rd place: BillyBlast
4th place tie: Ryugablader & myjuto
6th place tie: Laseryon & BigBang4ever
Thank you everyone for coming out with strong beyspirit and great sportsmanship! And thank you to our judges, BillyBlast, Breaker, Galaxy4ever, J o n, and Tech! We are consistently fielding some of the largest regular tournaments in the WBO, so congratulations all for spreading the word and keeping beyblade strong in MD!
I also want to take some time to address the issue of theft at some of our events - including this one.
It is sad to say that some people don't have respect for the property of others and what it represents to them. Younger or older, better off or less, the beyblades and equipment that have been stolen are more than just "things" to us.
They represent the hard work that we have put into summer jobs, the dedication we have shown for keeping up with household chores, the love that our family has shown us through birthday and holiday gifts, and in the case of Burn Rock Virgo each of those things was a reward for a significant achievement in his life as a 3 (now 4) year old boy learning how to become a self-reliant, responsible, and humble young man who is kind to others and exhibits great beyspirit.
I hold great hope that the items that went missing yesterday and in prior tournaments were not taken by members of our community. It goes against everything that we stand for, and would be a shocking betrayal of our fellow Bladers. I would like to think it is more likely that some of the neighborhood kids were responsible. After all, they haven't spent countless hours with us in free play and tournaments, or had one of us share a part that was important for a critical match, or discussed strategy and customization, or any of the other countless ways that we have come together to become a community of cooperation, competition, good sportsmanship and respect.
That being said, I know that during free play beys get left on the ground or mixed into other people's stuff. In fact, no less than 10 times yesterday people brought beys and equipment up to me so that I could make an announcement and make sure that it got back where it belonged.
Sometimes though, we don't notice when things get mixed in with our stuff. So I'd like to ask each of us to take a look at our beyblade collection to see if some of the items that went missing happened to end up with us. If so, please send me a PM and let me know so that the items can be returned at the next tournament. Honest mistakes happen, and you have my word of honor that I will keep our communications private.
This is the list of items to look for from yesterday's tournament:
Thank you all again for what was (missing items notwithstanding) an excellent tournament! I'm very excited by how many bladers we have, and that our beyblade community is alive and strong. I had a great time yesterday, and I hope you all did too!
All my best,
Arupaeo

- Hasbro launcher grip with red grip rubber and Metal Assist
- Black Beypointer

Damn, those are a lot of items, I was expecting only two or three important parts.
But also damn, forty-two participants, that is very good for an event that is not as big as Anime North.

What's up bladders.
It's sad to here that some people's stuff got stolen or misplaced and picked up. I can see now how important these things are to a lot of us. My boys included. I personally held on to my sons carry case so that didn't happen. I gave them each a launcher cord and blade and they had to come see me to swap out parts.
I'm sorry to hear about the items and hope they are returned to there owners.
With that being me and my boys had a great time and are looking forward to the 2 hour drive to the next tourney.
Thanks Arupaeo and thanks to the judges.

Unfortunately i couldn't make it to the tournament but it sounds like you guys had a lot of fun. i hope i can make it to the next one
srry i couldnt make it but friend/ride canceled. If your stuff is about to get stolen MARK your beys or the tetsuya of the real world will come and take your beys. If any of you have the name tetsuya i dont mean you.
Did anybody make a video or something because i really want to see the tournament
