Schedule:

11:00 - (optimally) Tournament Starts

Note:
The tournament will be in Group Round-Robin Format, bring BURST ONLY. Beyblades from any other system will not be permitted for use in the tournament. There will be one Beystadium Standard available for use in the tournament, and if you would like to hold practice rounds on your own between matches, feel free to bring your own stadium. I will need at least one judge to assist me, please volunteer when you sign up if you are interested. Please be patient with me, as this is my first tournament and I may be slower than you are used to at other tournaments. Extra Beyblades and launchers for loan in the tournament, and I heavily encourage participants to do the same. Passersby may want to join in, and we can expand our community that way! Thank you for your patience, and see you there!

Update: Bring lawn chairs if you would like to have chairs at the event; sorry for not being able to get a proper venue again.

Yeah, I know. I think we can have at least partial access to a pavilion or a canopy. Still planning on hosting it; I talked it over with my adult unless you highly suggest otherwise still? Sorry about that.

Ok, got it. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I print out the bracket so that I can put check marks on the bracket, but you need to do that latter.

Alright, thanks. I'll be sure to do that

Also, everyone, be sure to bring umbrellas even though we have a covered area. I apologize, but it still is possible that not everyone will be able to stay under the covering the whole time. Sorry for this unexpected turn of events, and thanks for your patience.

On second thought, I'll try my best to change the date. Thunderstorms not looking so good, so I'm thinking the day after, I'll provide an update later.

I mean if it is going to rain I mean I'm still down the blade as long as it's in a covered area but it could be a problem for other people getting there. Knowing Texas and how random the weather is it could rain it might not it's kind of a crapshoot

Oh yeah wifey said it was cool! See ya there in a few days!
Kudos on the profile picture 😎

Appreciate it! Silas is my boy! His battle with Joshua burns is pure 🔥

The first tournament i actually join because its an hour away practically in my backyard it was on a Saturday and my wife actually let me go lol and it gets moved to sunday...what a major letdown☹😫oh well like Jonathan Davis says it is what it is

If I've read the rules write you can use only burst bsyblades so yes.
Imma share you my Combo bruh: Slash Valkyrie Blitz Xtend+ Retsu

It’s burst standard, for future reference in tournaments just go to the first page scroll to the top and under the title it’ll give you the info. Also if you haven’t already you should probably read up on the rules, they’re not too complicated when you get used to them.

Not only GT, you can use the rest of burst.

Alright, MMMP, blader union, MP3DMEDIA, @xLostSkyx, @dreamed, my two judges stepped out due to the date change. If anyone could bring stadiums or offer to judge, that would be amazing!
Great I’ll be there at like 10 o’clock unfortunately I don’t have any B-09 stadiums. But I do have others, Also I will be glad to help you judge

Perfect! Any stadiums you can bring will be greatly appreciated and so will your judging. I can bring my clear Beystadium Standard for the actual rounds, but practice stadiums will definitely be nice. Thanks so much!

See y'all tomorrow! Hope to start by 11, come with your best Burst combos and ready to have a great time.

Just a reminder, this will be a club format tournament. The battles will all be deck format.
