Why would you postpone it ? You have several people who already comitted for the twenty-fifth.
Please keep it on the 25th

The reason why is because Primal could really help me because he's already hosted twice and now he says he can't make it. The other reason is because my best friend Matthew 711 is grounded until March 1 and his parents are really being arrogant about his best friend's tournament.

I'm torn now since I can get a credit for participating in a February tournament. I'm really putting in a lot of hard thinking into this because of that.

yeah guys...i aaaaagree it should be march 3rd......i m aching to go,becuase i cant go on the 25th.And plus, it gives us more time to practice.
But i would like it to be on the 25th but if there is no other way i will still come if it is on March 3 and i will bring Zero.. So i dont care if it is on March third because i will still come!!!
Wait...this is your tournament right? So why even host one if you need someone else's help to do that? As for the second reason, you gotta be kidding me. Postpone the tourney because ONE person can't come? While we have 13-19 people coming as well..and I doubt that you would postpone the tournament for every one of them if they were grounded.
And as you said, everybody who came would get another guranteed credit and possibly get a special prize (Special Wing Pegasis) for coming. So really, I see two horrible reasons too postpone a tournament that would be very beneficial for everyone who comes..
Do two tournaments if you have to, but I approved your event because you were confident that it was going to be a lot more organised and well-done than most of the previous events in Georgia.
What do I need to do so I can host a second tournament?
The first one would have to be all good.
Right, it will be great. The money will be donated within 24 hours and the results will be PM'd directly to you.
OK then. If everything is OK for the twenty-fifth's tournament, then we should be able to let you do an event one week later too, exceptionally.
Can I be a Judge for this tourney Harkins? My judging at GBB waa never counted for some reason, yet Primal said that he placed me on the Judge list. I judged at HHB 2.0 but since that tournament is now invalid, it won't count Tired
Universe²? Last I checked, HHB 2.0 was a valid tournament.....
I'm confused, what made it invalid? It seemed pretty well done.
It is not invalid, otherwise it would not be in the BeyPoint Queue. However, Vulcan-Blaze has admitted that he was using fake parts, so we have to deal with his matches, and that might affect the processing of the finals (we would process the Blocks without any problem if it was Block Round Robin). Universe², you did not get the DJ Face yet because Happy Holi-Beys 2 was not processed yet, but this whole story with Vulcan-Blaze means that none of the judges noticed that his parts were fake ...

Ahh, I thought it made the tourney invalid, thanks for clearing that up.
And I was not the judge of his block..so yeah.
Did you judge anything in the finals ?
Sadly, no, I had to go to the car and convince my parents to let me stay until the Team Battle, then I came back in time for the Award Ceremony.

Yea, mine too .But i didn't know that he was using fake parts either, but as universe2 said i was not in his block . And i didn't juede in the finals

I wasn't aware either, and I am sorry this incident had to occur. I actually looked on the eBay page, after my dad showed me it. I then realized they were fake.

It's kinda ok that you used fake parts, ONLY if you didn't know. Stupid Unhappy
I agree, as long as you didn't know and if you never use them again, your fine. That's just my opinion.
No, it's not OK. I'm sorry if it sounds a bit harsh, but most participants should know the rules prior to game day. It states that ALL parts have to be legal parts, which is pretty much the most important and basic one. Now, I understand that not everybody reads the rules, so it is the host's duty to brief all participants about the rules and regulations before the tournament starts. Judges should have been aware of any fake parts if they check them properly. There is practically zero occasion where 'it's kinda OK' to use fake parts.

Having said that, if you feel uncomfortable about hosting a medium sized tournaments, you can always put a limit on participants to ensure that the event runs smoothly. A size that you're comfortable with. You can always lift your limit up for your next tournament is this one goes well. Quality over quantity.
Uwik, he's not saying that he didn't know the rules of fake parts, but that he didn't know that they were fake parts, so it's not a matter of informing the rules of fake parts. Wasn't only the clear wheel the fake part anyways? So that would be pretty hard to spot the difference..and it was a Blaze clear wheel, which I had never seen IRL.
And Vulcan, do you have a link to the eBay page? Because fake beyblade sellers usually make it obvious that the parts are fakes, so they do not receive the negative feedback...
