No, there is a 30% chance of rain, highs in the mid-50s. But yeah we have a pavilion we can play under.
can we just play under the pavilion no matter what. I don't think it would be fair to have a match decided by what stadium you play on and if the ground being uneven
The only issue is when stuff gets KO'd, even with the towels tips and wheels can still get wrecked.

I hear you geetster. I'm going to see what I can do about making sure that the stadiums are all level on the grass. The iphone has a digital bubble level that we can use to check in 2 axis. If we have to move a bit farther away from the pavillion to find spots that are good and flat, then that's what we have to do. And if the flat spots are more wet (where ever they are) then we just have to deal with wet knees. I'ts important to have level stadiums.
Unfortunately, the cement under the pavillion isn't perfectly level either - and Time makes an excellent point about people's beys getting thrashed by the concrete after they get knocked out. It just isn't a good option for the BB-10.
In other news, 20 people signed up is a great number! I'm totally stoked for Sunday!
its also most likely going to rain the day before so unless everyone is cool with sitting in the mud we'll probably be under the pavilion anyway
yeah things lookin bad for me this time -__-
im probably not goin but who knows have fun guys

Unconfirm me. I can't come because of last minute plans. Have fun to those going! Know I would do anything to trade spots with you now.
Good luck to everybody tomorrow!
Is it still on
Yeah, we'll just play under the pavilion.
Hopefully the rain doesn't deter people from coming!

Cancellations are 'fine' normally, but you cannot just say you will come to a next tournament in April : this is the qualifier guys, there is no second chance.
