Parents, they'd rather not let me. Plus, I have to focus on school more, not 'some Beyblade tournament a few states away'.

I hope some good HMS will be used! And hopefully my idea could be implemented.

Confirm. since its the same time as MFB tourney so yah I'm confirmed.

EDIT: I got a question, what if we don't have enough people? Is it just going to be me, you, Aru, and BRV? I'm kind of worried about this one.

Ah, screw it, I'll just post my idea for these kinds of tournaments here. Note, these are side events to go in conjunction with the actual HMS and MFB tournaments:
The Beylympics!

The idea is to literally have bladers compete in contests of skill, just like the actual Olympics, but with their blades. For example:
Running of the Round Shells: Bladers take turns sniping Round Shell MS in Running Mode at targets (the box itself has targets on it, and if no one has a Round Shell in general there's a $45 one on Plamoya, which is a pretty nice price.) Most hit from certain distances, or most hit in a row wins first, second and third. Since the surface is carpet, you don't have to worry about damage to RSMS either.
Eternal Sharp Hackysack!: Bladers try to hand-spin or launch beyblades with the ES bottom onto different parts of their body in order to perform tricks. The trick is to get a good spin, and use as many parts of your body as possible. Customizing correctly is also important, so long as the bottom/performance tip is ES. Places would be given based on length of spin, number of different tricks, number of each trick, and other stuff that would be calculated in some sort of point system that I'm devising right now. You can bounce it off your knees, head, hand, even foot, or do tricks with your hands like under a leg, hand to hand, under your arm, etc.! Since it's carpet, and ES, not B : D (not used for this very reason, along with spin time differences and shape of the bottom affecting results too much) is being used, there is less chance of breakage and more easily replaceable.

That's all for now, but what do you people think? Any suggestions, comments or additional ideas?

NOTE: If the TOs don't approve, you can delete this post. The idea is still a work in progress after all.

The " Round Shells" game sounds really like throwing HMS around and of course it could put some dent on the stadium....so i rather put this as a Free play thing xD

I like the idea of "Eternal Sharp" even ES is replaceable as always i could make this as a real cash prize tournament hah. I'm sure Phantom/Basalt just gonna kill it real easy

It is, as an side event. I like the idea. It seems much fun and relaxing. All Galaxy have to do is bring root beer and I'm good lol.

It's not actually meant to be in a stadium, it's a side thing. You launch Round Shell in Running Mode and it acts like a tire. Since you're on carpet, no damage is done to it. Running Mode can't ever be used in stadiums anyways.

ES Hackysack is on your body as well, above the carpet. None of these would ever work in a stadium, except for a simple 'The Launch of All Launches!' event.

The Launch of All Launches!: Literally, launch an attack, stamina and defense type in a stadium (separately, not at once). The set attack type combo would be judged on correct use of Tornado Stall (no sliding over ridge, least number gives places) and Bank/SS (Same judging as TS, also judged on length of flower pattern time). Defense and Stamina would be judged on least amount of aggressiveness and longest spin time. All of these use set combos, preferably the exact same beyblade as well to keep least # of variables. Attack, Defense and Stamina would be judged separately.

Again, if it doesn't fit, it doesn't have to be done.

EDIT: Thanks, J o n.
