AND I AM STILL ONE OF YOUR ~LOVELY~ REFEREES (to save myself the embarrassment of being terrible in public oh god)

i wonder if she knows what a beyblade looks like

what are you talking about young sir

you

ooh

• Tornado Attack, Tornado Balance, and Tornado Balance Type S will all be in play. Stations for battles will be selected at random.
  

No surprises?! :-P

What do you mean by "stations" for battles?

I wanted BND to be a back to basics event. We've all been out of shape for so long, I didn't want to overcomplicate things. Essentially I want this tournament to represent the heart of Beybattle in its purest form.

By stations, I just mean there will be like "Station 1 - TA" "Station 2 - TB" "Station 3 - TBTS" etc. Nothing big.

Ah, alright. Makes things easier for everybody.

Oh, okay.

Also, who the hell has cameras here with a decent video function?

*Raises hand*

My digital camera is decent for video, if thats what you're looking for.

I'll be borrowing a friend's.

START LIVING BEFORE YOU START DYING

okay as long as there are three available it will be fine (we will be doing three matches at a time since there are three judges)

expect things to be fairly slow paced as i want to carefully document everything

I've got two cameras if need be. My 2MP cell phone cam and the 5MP camera I've had for a few months. I don't mind lending the 5MP to someone to use for the tourney.

---

yeah i'd appreciate it, cell phone cam isn't going to do any good. i will be posting the whole tournament on youtube.

I've got a 7.1 MP camera with a 4GB SD card, so I can handle video. I've got a secondary card too, for regular pictures. I doubt I'll play myself, but I can document no problem. I can also help edit videos, I've got the software.

Btw, is there a list of who all is showing up from here?

Yea im good for camera too
30fps baby. also I will have a Tripod.. but peopledo we want resolution to be 320x280 or 640x480

But imo I think only one battle should happen at a time. ie. sure there are three matches but after one battle it moves from station 1-2-3 then 1-2-3 and then remaining battles matches with 1-1 score.

And that would really depend on turn out. which we have no idea. if its large then well, scratch that.

@ carina- yea, isn't there??

one match at a time? that is really slow

yea but cool you know, everbody is aware of who won or lost.
I always thought it be cool.
Anyway especially for Semi Finals

also I was thinking while last minute, maybe spin directions are chosen at random? or just spin choice time limit.

Oh, the semi final and final matches will be hosted individually of course.

We will work it out once we see the situation.

I have already set up a spin direction clause, essentially if the judge decides that both players are stalling for spin direction, they will be asked to turn around and select their spin direction hidden from one another.

Maybe a big display with the tournament bracket would be good so people could easily see how the tournament progresses.

640x480 would be best, imo. That way in case you want the videos to be made available for download, then it's at least a semi-decent quality. I definitely post any video I take up on something like MediaFire, so I'm aiming for decent picture quality. Then again, I checked my camera and my 4GB card can hold approx half an hour of 640x480, but an hour and a half of 320x280. It all depends on how much you want to record, I guess. I'm trying to avoid dragging my laptop along, but if someone has a laptop or something to do media dumps that'd be great. The only problem is my camera needs software to upload stuff. :<

I thought there was some sort of list, but I guess not. I kind of want to know who all is going so I can look forward to meeting them.

yeah uh

we don't have time to do that

This is who is coming from BW, as far as I can remember at least:

You

There might be some others, but I'm not sure.
