Important Advice
Despite being around friends and rivals, please remember we are in a public space. Remember to not only be respectful to other participants, but also the staff and other customers in the store.

I would highly suggest joining the discord server (and the UK channel) as that is where many UK bladers are active and can be found, and it exists as an easy form of contact. Discord

Looking into competitive play that's happened elsewhere and wanted to check if the limited parts list is going to be in effect here?

The only restricted part is Metal Needle, the only other restriction is that there can be no repeating parts in your deck of 3 beyblades.

Indeed, only an hour to this one, you should come up!
Any chance of raising it to 28 participants? It would be a long drive not to play 🤣

I will speak to the store owner but i think 26 is most likely the limit.
I have checked with the store and they are happy for the event to go ahead as planned.
If anything changes before then I will update the event page.
If you no longer wish to take part please let me know, it is completely understandable to do so.
Would it be alright if I come up to the event to just watch? I know the participant cap is full I cannot participant but just watching the tournament should be fine, right? Smile
