The time of day and the specific date are still to be decided, but for any suggestions towards running the tourney, or if you want to apply to be a judge, say so here.
Tournament setup:
There will be a plastics division, MFB Division and HMS division. The winners will get prizes (but we do not know what the prizes will be as of yet). Also, there will be a free-play section as well, for those who want to test combos or simply blade for the sake of it.
The matches will run on the point system. [/b]
For the record, according to the rules, if you break your opponents blade, you win instantly (although I must stress, please don't try to do this on purpose)
There may be a small entrance fee to pay for the prize. The amount is undecided.
Feel free to suggest any ideas.
IMPORTANT: There will be a blacklist. If your name is added to it, you will not be allowed to attend the tourney. This is to prevent trouble makers from spoiling the event.
Also, please, if you can, bring a stadium with you. The more stadiums we have, the more battles we can have at one time. Please note: Only Takara stadiums are legal for competitive play.
You will be allowed to buy and sell beyblades at the tournament. Just make sure your prices aren't outrageous

From Cardiff they're packed. Though i'm probably being biased since last year, I went up there was when it was all flooded (When we had loads of rain and stuff and it had flooded the tracks over) so everyone was piling onto the same train.
Back to the topic of Spinoff 2009, what are your thoughts on a tag-team tournament as well as the main event?

Tag-Teams sound fun, Me and Dreamborn do them a lot and they turn out hilarious.
I've yet to try it in a Takara stadium though, I'll tell you when I do
You just pretty much need blades that complement eachother quite well in the stadium.
EDIT: Wait, are you talking about both Beyblades in the stadium at the same time? That's a terrible idea.
I agree with Brad, you want to make it last as long as possible, a tag team wouldn't work unless you had LOADS of players turning up.
And this will be like "single player" tournament. ;D
This was mine opinion.
And now...
I'm jealous. Here, in Poland was only 1 tournament... I have been around 3 years ago... I feel so ashamed cause of that. During the 2005 in my town was a lot of bladers. I had my team...
But now all of them are "too adult to beybladeing"...
I don't understand them.

No, I mean teams of two, lol
A four-way battle is chaotic
EDIT: Also, this would be done as well as the singles tourney.
How do you NOT get on said blacklist added btw?
It won't be four blades at once. Here's an example.
Player A vs Player A2
Player A Wins
Player B vs Player B2
Player B2 wins
Player A will then face player B2
Make sense?
I have about 9-10 months to improve upon the basic setup etc.
i meant to hate beyblade not bakugan
