The thing is, everyone wants the MFs now T_T. There's only a few Aru reserved for.
I'm sorry everyone. As it happens, I have less MF-H packages than I thought I did. I only have 2, so I need both of them to award to the 1st place bladers in each tournament. I apologize for that, but will have more MF-H at the Nov tourney!
I do have some other beyblade stuff to sell, including random booster 7s and stadiums. See me at the registration table for more info!

I'll be there next time....

The tournament
The anticipation is killing me!
As you know, we split the field into two tournaments (this is the dual part) which each had their own block round robin tournament (that's the duel part) running at the same time! Sounds crazy, but it worked out great!
Here are the official results...
The Dual Duel 1
1st place: MetalZoroark21
2nd place: Arupaeo
3rd place: B.L.I.T.Z.
4th place: Tie - nerfblader721 and Doom24
The Dual Duel 2
1st place: Arupaeo
2nd place: Breaker
3rd place: Bigbang4ever
4th place: Cool Blader
You may have noticed that my name appears twice in the winners ranks. In order to fill out the tournament brackets for a full 7 blocks of 5 bladers, 1 blader was needed to compete in both brackets, and it was me. If we had had 33 competitors, 2 bladers would have pulled double duty. This is a function of the structure and the numbers of bladers we had. We are constrained by the number of judges as to how many stadiums we have, and just adding more bladers to the existing 6 blocks would have added too many matches to the overall tournament length and turned a 3 hour run time into a 4.5 or 5 hour run time.
That being said, I have committed to not receiving tournament prizes, and I will not this time either. Unfortunately, our 4th place finishers in both tournaments left before the prizes were given out. So... nerfblader721, Doom24, and Cool Blader, you all have a Random Booster 7 that will be waiting for you at the next tournament!
Thank you everyone for coming out with strong bey spirit and great sportsmanship! And thank you to our veteran judges Breaker and Rotation, as well as our first-time judges BillyBlast, Technologic and MetalZoroark21! A special thank you also goes out to Galaxy4ever, who came early to help set up even though he knew he could not compete because he was playing in a baseball game at 2pm. That's some commitment to beyblade... thank you!
I am still looking for the indoor venue for our tournaments in the winter months (Nov-Feb), but as soon as I confirm a location for the November tournament i will post a link to that tournament thread here in this one.
In the mean time, be sure to share your thoughts on the tournament and what your favorite parts of the day were. Did you beat a rival? Face an incredible combination? See something that you thought just wasn't possible? Let us know!
