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.

Are you saying your work won’t let you or that your mom would ha e to work and you would have no ride?

Now I meant like..... as in since mom's the only one I could ask to drive me to said tourney, if Amazon does send MET (Mandatory Extra Time for her this week coming up cause her Mandatory overtime days are Sundays), then I'm gonna have to unjoin the tourney and unfortunately will be able to go to it 😔, one thing that sucks bout working there is the random of Times they decide to send out MET or stuff like that sadly
ok I read the details

The reason I was asking is because if you really need a ride I live in Dundalk and I can give you a ride if you really needed it.
The rules which previously held restrictions against Drift on Dual Spin layers seems to be absent from the FGC rules now. Was that restriction removed, or is it still there and I can no longer find it?

We had a king of the hill style format before, now we have 3G as we are slowly developing a regulatory structure for The Circuit once it commenced. So yes that rule was removed as it won’t have an impact in the 3v3 format
Ooh, looks like a spot or two opened up. A little short notice, but if I plan efficiently I'm pretty sure I can make it. I'm interested to see what sets this ruleset apart from the "standard" WBO regulations, seems like a neat change of pace!
I'm so hyped right now, gonna try to get up extra early so I can get everything together and get ready
About how long do events under FGC rulesets typically last? I don't want to book the wrong return train and have to choose whether to leave early or spend an extra 200 bucks

They tend to last about as long as WBO events but hopefully a little quicker with the amount of judges we will have tmrw
It's a 5 round swiss with at least 3 DB Beystadiums in a 3v3 format. It will probably go kind of fast.
And now it’s getting hard to sleep. Ugh! So excited for this!

I know, imagine sleeping before a beyblade tournament. Also daylight savings doesn’t help.

No, that's a bad idea if you're traveling by train. Just bring yourself and your beys. I'm sure the FG folks will have enough beystadiums. I'll have one in reserve just in case.
If y'all want i can bring 2 of my DB stadium, also, so very hyped for today
