Location: This event will be held indoors at the Broad Rock Branch - Richmond Public Library in the main Meeting Room 

Time: As the tournament will start promptly at 12:00pm, please plan to arrive around 11:30am when registration will begin. Registration will close at 11:55am. Confirming your attendance on the WBO event page does not substitute for registration at the venue.
 
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.

I will not be accepting any player, pre-registered or not past 12:00pm!!
 
Participants: This event will cap out at 16 players

Stadium:
The BX-10 Xtreme Stadium.

Other Information:

Pre-Registration: As this event has a participant cap, you are highly encouraged to register online ahead of time. This requires a WBO account, which you can find more information about here: Account Registration Guide

Please come prepared. It is helpful for both hosts and judges if all participants bring official Takara Tomy or Hasbro-manufactured Beyblades 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 12:00 PM and is expected to run for about 3 hours. 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.

Can’t confirm anything quite yet, but I’m going to try to make it to this one.
Can anyone show up, watch the tournament and blade for fun
I'm gonna try and get off for it to at least come hang out!
Ah, man I was so excited to play I hadn't realized I had a prior engagement that day.

Hopefully, you guys have a good turnout and this won't be the only tourney in the area!
I was informed today that I’ll be working on the 16th. So unfortunately I cannot make it to beat all of you in this generation. XP Good luck to everyone that attends!

still got space!
This is coming up in less than a week! Looks like we have a lot of first timers which is great to see! Please take time to review the Beyblade X rulebook (linked in the description above) and familiarize yourself with the 3 on 3 format.

If anyone else is able to bring another X stadium, that would be a big help. And for my more experienced players coming, if anyone feels comfortable helping with judging, please let me know!

I can't swing this one, but I hope to be at the next one! Good luck and have fun! :]
It has come to my attention that the rulebook is not linking properly for everyone from this page. Here is the rulebook for X! We will be playing 3 on 3 format to 4 points

I've got one stadium and I'm more than happy to lend it. Excited to see everybody tomorrow!
is it fine to kind of just hang around and watch? won’t have time to stay and participate but i definitely wanna come and check it out!
I don’t believe we’ll be at room capacity so that should be fine
This was a fun and exciting tournament. Really enjoyed myself and meeting everyone. Thank you Garishi for hosting it. Hope to have another tournament in the coming year.
