Hello,
The World Beyblade Organization is actually a fan-run group, so if you want to have a tournament near you, a fan (or you) needs to take the initiative of hosting an event there. Unfortunately there are no official Organizers traveling across the world to hold tournaments wherever people ask. To know more about hosting events, you should read the following documents first:
http://worldbeyblade.org/universalrules.pdf
http://worldbeyblade.org/eventguide.pdf
After that, find the topic dedicated to your region (Rhode Island - New York, right?) and post there to see who would be interested in a tournament. Then you guys decide on a date and a location, and once you have at least seven confirmed participants, just submit the official Event Proposal in the forum with that name.
To receive a notification in case there are tournaments happening close to you in the future, you should really sign up on the
BeyMap and you will get a private message whenever an event is added in your area.
If you need anything else, do not hesitate to send me a private message too.
