2023 marks 20 years since the start of HMS! We'll be commemorating this milestone with fun freebies and prizes at the first HMS tournament of the year. All tournament attendees will receive an original HMS tournament beypoint card and BBA sticker. Official HMS-era stickers will be used to mark personal battle milestones, and top 4 placers will receive a limited edition HMS ripcord and tournament card.

Format: This event will be held in HMS format. Please read the rulebook prior to confirming your attendance to ensure that you or your child have the appropriate equipment to compete. Legal parts / launchers will not be lent out by event staff.

Host: The Supreme One

Location: This event will be held indoors at Super Star Card Gaming

Time: As the tournament will start promptly at 3:30 PM, please plan to arrive around 3:00 PM when registration will begin. Registration will close at 12:25 PM. Confirming your attendance on the WBO event page does not substitute for registration at the venue.


Other Information:
Please come prepared. It is helpful for both hosts and judges if all participants bring at least one Takara Tomy or Hasbro-manufactured Beyblade of their own and more than one launcher when possible. Additionally, parents of children under the age of 13 must be present for the duration of the event, as tournament end times can be difficult to estimate, and we would hate for someone to be left behind once it is over.

Be aware of your belongings. We'd advise users to please, please look after your stuff. While yes this is a Beyblade tournament and we're not suggesting that any of us would attempt to take each other's stuff it is still happening at a public venue where other people (who may not be so friendly) are going to be present as well. Of course, if you see a personal belonging lying around bring it up any of the judges so we can return it to the right person. Your co-operation is appreciated!

All players must arrive on-time. The tournament will begin no later than 3:30 PM and is expected to run for about 2 hours, though if there is a large turnout it may take longer. Please plan accordingly. If you do not arrive at the scheduled start time, you risk being excluded from the tournament. The software we use to run our events–Challonge–does not allow us to add in extra participants once the tournament has started.

If you know in advance that you will be late, please post in this thread or contact someone at the event and depending on the circumstances we can perhaps still include you if we know you will arrive soon.

The Supreme One please preprocess(spreadsheet, winning combos, etc.) this event, it is outside the 14 day period and future events will not be approved until this one is preprocessed.
Apologies for the delay! I had some things going on in my personal life the past couple weeks that took precedence. Due to a few scheduling conflicts, a few folks weren't able to show up, but the 5 of us that did had a blast nonetheless. We ran traditional club round robin, followed by a deck finals to get some extra matches in. 

First Stage (Club Format) 1st Place: The Supreme One
Deck Finals 1st Place: Friedpasta
