Ok Everybody, we had two great events for BeyDays weekend over Memorial Weekend. Thanks for everybody who came out to both. But Primarily the event in Grand Rapids we were able to get somewhere around 15-20 kids who have never experienced a WBO tournament before. The other one in Farmington Hills was because PattyCakeChamp! wasn't able to make it across the state so I told him to start one himself and I offered to help. That event was mainly regulars with one new girl. Both were very fun and brought different challenges than eachothers, as I was able to make it through the 29 bladers with just requiring 6 matcheswithout a loss on Saturday. On Sunday with just 12 bladers it was Round Robin Format. I lost my very first match but somehow with a lot of luck managed to catch a few ties that required tiebreakers and able to make my way all the way to first after 17 battles!
Remember if you competed at all you're entered into the
BeyDays Beylotto you could win from your choice of beyblade to a Theif Phoenic to a facebolt under your avatar of choice. And again welcome to all the new WBO members who showed up welcome to the community.
Ok, my plans for upcoming tournaments.
As for the East side of the state. I will be hosting the event for the
Farewell Tournament for AJ from the Legendbladers. This will take place in
Rochester Hills on Sunday June 24. I still need more confirmed attendees to get the proposal for the event going to make it officially sanctioned. So let me know or post in this thread.
I plan on heading North for my next one. I lived near
Traverse City for 6 years and have friends up there with kids that wanted to come to GR but couldn't make it. I'm thinking around
Cherry Festival which I believe is still the week after the 4th of July. I'm not sure if there are ANY current members who live up there but even if you're going up for Cherry Festival keep this in mind. and let me know, may do it big right on the Open Space on the bay would be a cool location.
My last event of the summer will be along the
Lake MI lakeshore in most likely late July early August. With all the new comers to Grand Rapids and I was requested by one of the parents to do this, it'll happen as long as we get enough confirmed attendees again.
I'm thinking Tunnel Park on the North side of Holland. But let me know your ideas for an exact date and location all will be taken in to consideration.
Thanks guys hope you guys comment on here or at least PM me with your ideas.
@Yuko, sorry man as you can see I'll be driving out to the East side of the state for one more time for AJ's Farewell. But I'm not going to plan on another event out there this summer. DaWRETCHED might have another one without me I'm sure, but I have no plans to make another trip out there till September at least... Otherwise Yuko, try to run one. It is a bit of an undertaking to say the least if you try though.
