A turnout of 24 people today! London keeps growing, and it's great to see everyone getting involved! Thanks to everyone for coming!
We've obviously got a lot to discuss about Spriggan Requiem soon as well. There was clearly a lot of interest in taking some action against it as it's reached mG levels of excessive usage. Shall get a thread up sooner or later to discuss perhaps a trial ban on the Layer.
And welcome back @[Manicben] as well! Was good to have you back bud!

Only slight concern was why was very young players going against players in 18+ saw that as but strange for obvious reasons. Apart from that great vibe from everyone will attend next time with my set of competitive beys. Expect some competition next tournament in London.
I was slightly concerned at beginning being I’m 24 and most players was yough children thought I had to be 13 but I soon saw older players which reassured me pretty quick
overall great atmosphere and a must if you enjoy Beyblades of any level.
See everyone again in a month
?
Thanks for coming along, and please do join in next time! Definitely worth joining in after all!
I understand the concerns about the age gap, but it's simply the WBO's policy and motto really; "All ages Beyblade!". We keep every age group in together to include everyone, and it's not really a huge issue. As was evident today was well, there are plenty of these kids that give even the older players a hard time with some of their combinations, including how unpredictable they can be.
I think the London community (and the WBO in general) handles this age gap pretty well really! The parents are pretty happy each time as well, and I even had a grandmother who was happy and joked about participating herself today (and I'm 100% holding her to that!) so I think there's a general approval of how things currently are!
Nah, no limit on 13+ either. Any age is fine! And yeah, as you saw, there were around 10 of us that were 18+ so I hope that reassures you in future! See you next time!
