Primal, can you upload the bracket so that Beypoints and wins/losses can be updated for our accounts? Also, I want to see the list of everyone who made it out so I can try to do individual shoutouts (I'm bad at remembering names, but I'll try my best)

Oh lawdy this tournament was great! It was awesome meeting everyone, and it was totally worth the drive. I hope I can make it out there again sometime!
I got completely wrecked this tournament, haha! I should probably keep some more secrets regarding my customs or especially should have called double blind picks occasionally (I'll know to do that for next time). You guys all were excellent bladers, and the matches I lost were because you guys chose and piloted great customs to counter mine. It was great to play against such skilled opponents, and I look forward to facing you all again
This was a vital learning experience for me, since the majority of my time with Beyblade has been in testing environments instead of tournaments. The most important things I realized I need to account for are Gattyaki (good lord you guys were scaring the carp out of me with your launches, lol) and not-perfectly-level stadiums (we were on a minor slope, nothing dramatic but enough for me to notice a slight difference). The second point also showed me that I need to try to use customs that handle recoil a bit better, since I was sweating bullets whenever my tornado stallers were on the lower side of the arena! For example, I'll try using a MF-H on Phantom Hades 90MF and see if that helps.
I'm still bummed about the whole launcher thing; I can't believe mine broke the day before the tournament, and the one I borrowed from my friend has a loose gear on the inside (I fixed it and it works perfectly now). I definitely would have done better with MF-H Basalt Horogium TR145R2F if I could have gotten a good launch, since I just couldn't get it to spin fast enough to score many KOs. My Phantom Hades 90MF custom also wasn't working as well either for basically the same reason since it needs to spin at high rates so that it tornado stalls on the ridge for the longest possible time. But still, no johns, you guys outperformed me 100% regardless of anything happening on my end. Just wait until next time ;D
DRAGOOON IS BROKEN
Like, seriously, Primal, that was one scary custom you had, and I can't imagine how much better it must be now that you have that Reviser! Trying to take down a basically circular left-spin tank is frightening to say the least!
