Tournament Updates!
Please read the rules at the top of the tournament post as well as information on how to access our tournament location.
PLEASE NOTE:
We will be outdoors on Saturday. Summer is here! The weather will be in the high 80's. I suggest bringing water, sunblock, and anything else you may need to stay cool and safe in the sun.
There is a VERY low chance of rain. We do not have an indoor alternative guaranteed, so please plan to be on time and register BEFORE 12:00pm. I will not be accepting any late arrivals to the tournament.
The plan is to get the tournament started in a timely manner, maximize the good weather, and have you all enjoy the rest of your weekends.
LASTLY, any participants younger than 18 years of age must be accompanied by a Parent or Guardian. No exceptions.
If you have any questions, please reach out!
Looking forward to spinning some tops with you all!
What happens if it rains?
LazerBeamz there is a heat advisory warning for tomorrow. is it wise to continue with hosting this tournament? I would hate to have and Bladers walk away with heat stroke or something.

In case of rain, we will move as a group to another location withing the park. For now, plan to meet at the Carousel (directions/ map at the top of the tournament thread.)

Tournament is still on. As I mentioned in my previous post, the weather will be in the high 80's. I suggest bringing water, sunblock, and anything else you may need to stay cool and safe in the sun.
The location for this tournament (River Bank State Park) is on the Hudson River. It's generally a lot cooler and breezier than the rest of the city. If you're concerned, I'd understand if you'd like to skip this tournament. Keep in mind, we've ran plenty of summer tournaments in New York with more intense summer weather.
I was thinking the same thing. make sure to bring water at the very least. I will still be coming, but everyone stay safe out there.

Good luck everybody, wish I could be there! Keep me posted, send any videos or photos you wanted shared to @beyblade_nyc on ig and let me know if you want to be tagged or not.
Everybody have fun, be safe and LET IT RIP!
