We’re really excited to visit Maryland and host our first tournament in the area! It’s going to be great to see some old friends and meet new ones!!!

We are gonna use Single Blader Format for this event, with the DB stadium.

It should be a decent amount of fun and excitement with trying something new 😎. 

As mentioned this is our first MD event so we plan to arrive super early to set up and have things in order. We hope to secure the pavilion as well. Please arrive around 11am so we can get everyone officially registered and start at noon.

Happy Blading to everyone and hope to see you there!

Me too, hopefully i don't screw this chance up, especially since this is the first ever kinda of event based tourney I've ever been to
RYANTHEDRAGON98 you won’t screw up I’m sure. It’ll be new for everyone. Focus on having fun and you’ll do just fine 😊

Is this tournament still happening in Silver Spring, or were you planning to move it to Dundalk?

I’m gonna keep it at silver springs. I’ve heard nice things about both parks but want to experience the silver springs one first hand
StayCool given that this even is a Four-Gaming event and the rules are different, I was wonder now that the parts are out of you are considering weather or not to allow multiple versions of the same part such as fearing and bearing’ to be in the same deck?

As of now we aren’t banning it. Mainly because I asked a friend of mine who plays WBBA. They allow both parts, granted the do play 5G.

I’ll need to see how effective it is in the DB stadium and overall. We also incorporate tie breaker combos so heavy LAD combos don’t hold as much weight. We’ll see overall within our next 2 events on how things go.
Hey y'all, guess what, ya Boi finally has his new phone, still waiting for the rest of my apps to reinstall onto it, but hopefully it'll all reconnect onto it soon
So due to time we will be doing the Single Blader Format first, 5 Swiss rounds. Single Blader takes about the normal time as usual tournaments, but teams can be quite lengthy. If we can get through singles quickly we can try teams if we have time and enough players want to do it. Look forward to seeing you all soon.

What happens if teams doesn't become a possibility, will there be a possible chance of a new tournament made up just for that, if possible that is?

I’ll do the best I can to make it happen, definitely because I know you were excited about it. If players arrive early enough we may be able to have a match or 2. 

I’m sure we’ll figure something out so that those interested can experience it
Hello all! I just wanted to check in and see if players registered on Challonge are still able to participate in the single blader format if the teams may not happen. I'm registered over there instead. This will be my first tournament so I'm not 100% sure on everything going on, total noob in the competitive scene lol.

Also which stadium would be used? Do y'all stick to standard or have you moved to DB only?

No worries you’re fine to come attend.

The FGC events leading up to The Circuit are pretty much test and trials to help us prepare a standardized ruleset/format that is fun, challenging and balanced. As well as spreading some Beyblade love and trying to increase the community. 

So through trials we’ve found teams takes a lot of time. It’s fun but needs to have its own event. So we’re going to omit it this time around because single Blader format has more relevance to The Circuit, at the moment. If Single Blader format goes quickly we may try teams. Things may make more sense once I’m there to explain everything, sorry for any confusion.

But yes please come attend if you’re registered on Challonge and we will be using the DB Stadium
