Almost a year to the date since "A Timely Farewell," Time comes back to you all with the latest and greatest in the Maryland tournament series, "Before the Burst." Since pretty soon all of our blading knowledge will be consumed with the burst meta, it's time to honor the formats that have led us up to this exciting moment, those of Bakuten Shoot and Metal Fight Beyblade!

I'll see if I can't do something about getting a real cake as well.

Info Stuff:

Date: 6/28/15

Location: MLK Park (The closest address to put in your GPS is 1098 Jackson Rd, Silver Spring, MD 20904, but be sure to look at the map for the actual location of the tournament
which will be beside the pavilion (just above the basketball courts))

Registration: 11:30-12:00
Tournaments will start promptly at noon and I expect we will be done around 5.

Fees: $5 to participate per tournament, $10 for a blader passport
$5 for 2 on 2, this helps cover the cost of all prizes distributed

Formats:
We will be playing some combination of Zero-G, Plastics, HMS, Limited, and 2 on 2 based on the results of the poll. One of the official formats will be played in teams.

Limited: http://worldbeyblade.org/Forum-MFB-Limited-Discussion

Team: http://worldbeyblade.org/Thread-Introduc...on-9-27-14

2 v. 2: A partner is randomly selected for you. You proceed to play matches with all four bladers launching at once. First team to win 5 rounds (5/9) wins the match. Depending on turnout this will likely be double elimination. Once being crowned champions, the winning team will square off against each other in one more 5/9 match (2 switches of beys allowed) to determine who will take home the prize.

Prizes: Stuff from Time's goody bag that includes rare HMS and Plastics, launcher accessories, and other surprises.

@[Kei] @[Kai-V] I understand why you want the individual match data from plastics, but I strongly believe it is unfair to ignore the tournament in its entirety simply because of an unstated update to the hosting requirements. I've previously hosted a number of HMS and Plastics events and the individual match results have never previously been requested.
Oh no, we are definitely not ignoring it.
@[Kai-V] My bad, in a previous post, it seemed to me like you were considering not awarding faces, credits, or processing the team matches.
We do have to determine what we will give/process and all, but we will definitely not just ignore it; it happened without any reported issues, people technically paid for it as well, so we do have to do something about it, it cannot be denied.


Since I might process tournaments in the upcoming days, do you know if anybody played in this event and had also attended the North Carolina tournaments on June 13th ?

I know geetster99 did play in the events on the 13th.

OnTheDL played in both of the events as well.
OK, then processing this event really has to wait until Dark_Mousy sends everything from the previous North Carolina tournaments.
Is there any news from Dark_Mousy? Also, to clarify for future events and hosts, since there is now an initiative to have a beyrank for every format, full match by match results need to be submitted for all events, correct? (At least for me, possibly due to ignorance, this is a change, as I had previously submitted HMS and Plastics results without the match by match breakdown for point allocation)
Apparently things should be on their way, but I think we have received nothing so far ...

And yes, definitely, all formats' results should contain all matches.
