IMO your DJ face should be stripped at the least - you obviously don't understand the rules.
StormAquario666 very clearly won that match with one round and two illegal interferences by Sniper, at least thats how I see it.
That said, the tip allegation seems ludicrous to me, throwing around baseless accusations over spinning tops is extremely poor sportsmanship.
And this is without even mentioning the judges.
I think that speaks for itself...
I'm also very concerned that this was the only way this whole thing was bought up - through an unrelated false accusation.
The whole thing also only worsens my reservations about team-run tournaments - especially a team that's willing to name a tournament after themselves...

laidbackblader and [Pyro] are probably the best hosts for New York right now, and I fully reviewed that at least laidbackblader knew about the whole mislaunch thing. I can only hope that neither of them were judging that match ...
As for whether or not you would be competent enough to notice it, to be blunt: I have very little experience with you and most of what I do have isn't particularly good, so let's just drop that rather self-important line of inquiry, okay?
As a host, could you at least tell us who judged that particular match, seeing as it doesn't appear to have been mentioned by anyone? Please tell me you at least kept track of who judged which matches or could perhaps tell from the voice?
Kai-V: The way I see it, how competent they are compared to other hosts in the area isn't a big deal, this happened and either they weren't supervising well enough or let someone incompetent supervise the match. The latter is definitely a lesser concern but it's still a concern.
As for the kirin thing, it was really just something I felt should be mentioned and left there.
As for the name of the tournaments, they call them things like "Double-Shot Kirin", "The fall of the Kirin", etc. They are not glorifying themselves that much, hah.
As long as who judged is known, I have nothing more to say about this whole thing, I think I've voiced more than enough of my opinions at this point.
The video was shown to me and it struck me as a particularly severe breach of the rules. I may be very vocal about my opinions but if this wasn't an exceptional case, I wouldn't have bothered.
OMG!!! I just saw sniper pick up his bey twice!!! During the match like 30 seconds after the launch!!! I'm leaving this in your hands, now, Kai-V. Do what should be done (Idk what should be done. Why, sniper, why?
Also, OK, we know who the players are, who the filmer is, who the judge is, but who was watching that match, otherwise ...
By the way, I thought Pyro did a great job making this event a success. I'm sure if he say Sniper pick up his Bey, he would have said something. Good job with the filming
