If you are under 16, it is mandatory for a parent to stay with you at this event! I cannot stress this enough. You will not be allowed to play otherwise.

It's time to give thanks and LET IT RIP! Join us at the Masonic Lodge in Simsbury again for another action-packed tournament. We'll have snacks again for a requested minimum donation of $1. If people would like something more substantial, let me know and we'll see about grabbing a pizza or a giant sub.

I'll have some CT Beyblade face bolt stickers to give out to those who attend. Here's what they look like!

Also, don't forget to add yourself to the BeyMap! CT needs representation! Please don't put your full address. Just city/state.


Additional Event Guidelines
  • No one under the age of 16 may judge a tournament battle. This is for liability reasons.
  • Tournament details may be changed/removed without notice.
  • By attending a CT Beyblade event, you grant us the right to take photos/video and use them for promotional materials. Special consideration will be given if brought to my attention ahead of time.
  • A Judge's calls are final. Please do not argue or carry on about a call you disagree with.
  • I am not responsible for lost or stolen items.
  • Do not touch the laptop used for scoring. You will find out your ranking at the end of the tournament.

WBO matches are supposed to be 3/5

Also, do you not do any sort of finals where the top bladers from the blocks compete in an additional round robin?

Time, we run Swiss which has no finals. It's all weighted.

As for the 2/3, I'm working with Kai-V on that now. As far as I recall (I'm trying to find the message chain) we had gotten approved for 2/3 around the same time we got approved to do Swiss.

Either way, we may be switching formats and moving back to 3/5. We need to find the best way to keep the time of tournaments to an absolute minimum.

Use 2 stadiums, have at least 4 judges, use Challonge.com to keep track of everything. I can get a 20 person tournament done in 2 hours.

I use Challonge now, and I love it. Next time we'll have an extra stadium and more judges. 2 hours is great!

BB10 might take a bit longer. But as long as someone uses attack it should go by rather quickly.

I run Zero-G, and our meta is SUPER stamina heavy. I'm hoping to break that, though.

Yah i think the stamina is cus most players in CT are just moving into the cyclone stadium, me included. So we are a little uneasy as to how Zero-g attack types work. But im working on a few combos and I dont think youll see me using B:D next tourney.

What stadiums were used exactly?
Nov. 11, 2013  5:17 AM
 
Zero-G Attack Type Stadiums were used.
Nov. 11, 2013  3:18 PM
 
Correct. It's a Takara Tomy Zero-G Attack Stadium.

Rob - Thanks for hosting a great Beysgiving Tournament. We enjoy the pace of the battles, and how the matches are all run fairly, for both new bladers and experienced players. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

'Looking forward to future tourneys - Simsbury is such a great venue - and qualifiers for '14.

This tournament has now been processed. Unfortunately, due to the 2 out of 3 format that was used, which is not legal under WBO's Organized Play, we are unable to process the BeyPoints for this tournament. All participants have been granted the credit for participation and Place Faces for the winners.

More importantly, we're glad to hear that you guys had a great time in this tournament, and we look forward to the next CT event.
