This may go down as one of the best tournaments I've hosted yet. We had great attendance (21 people), I sold 4 new passports, the blocks went smoothly, and we even had people bring food for everyone to eat!
We ended up with 4 blocks. 1 with 6 people, and 3 with 5. All of the blocks were well matched, and all were really close. 2 of them ended up having tie breakers. The top 4 from the blocks were Leone19, charliebey, i break yo bey, and Xtracorruption. Charliebey was knocked out of finals for having the least amount of wins between the 4.
The battle to choose 3rd place was intense, but not as intense as the final 3 battles between Leone19 and i break yo bey. It all came down to one battle, and Leone19 won the trip to Toronto 8-7 against i break yo bey.
We saw a lot of Earth, Lightning, and Meteo. Some interesting wins came from rockdragon, who won some battles both with a stock Poison Serpent, and stock Thief Zirago. The battles he won with Zirago were all stadium outs.
In the end, everyone had a great time. There were no sore losers, a lot of new faces, and some grueling battles.
I should mention that Hasbro was very good to us, providing me with 2 Octogon Battle sets, 8 BeyWarriorz, and 2 BeyRaiderz. Some of these were prizes for the tournament. Others were given away at random to the tournament participants.
