Valley Lodge 36, 991 Hopmeadow St, Simsbury, Connecticut
LIMITED FORMAT
Registration - 1PM-1:30PM
Time - 1PM-5PM
The road to the Grand Battle begins! Connecticut Bladers, this is your chance to earn paid travel expenses (if necessary) to ANIME NORTH, along with an AN Pass to play in the WBO North American Championship, GRAND BATTLE TOURNAMENT 2!!
If you are under 16, it is mandatory for a parent to stay with you at this event! I cannot stress this enough. You will not be allowed to play otherwise. You must also have a ride available to you at all times in case they event ends early.
It's been a year since I've started running tournaments in CT, so let's celebrate! This will be a Limited-format tournament and we'll have side events running. Bey races! Illegal Bey battles! Episodes of Beyblade playing on the big screen! There'll also be raffles and other contests to try and win some of the awesome swag Hasbro has sent me for the event. Up for grabs are 2 Beywarrior Octogon sets, 8 single BeyWarriors, and 2 BeyRaiderz.
This event will also be a potluck! Bring a dish to share with the rest of the participants (just make sure to bring an ingredient list for those with allergies!)
Also, don't forget to add yourself to the BeyMap! CT needs representation! Please don't put your full address. Just city/state.
Additional Event Guidelines
- No one under the age of 16 may judge a tournament battle. This is for liability reasons.
- Tournament details may be changed/removed without notice.
- By attending a CT Beyblade event, you grant us the right to take photos/video and use them for promotional materials. Special consideration will be given if brought to my attention ahead of time.
- A Judge's calls are final. Please do not argue or carry on about a call you disagree with.
- We are not responsible for lost or stolen items.
- Do not touch the laptop used for scoring. You will find out your ranking at the end of the tournament.
- There is a ZERO-TOLERANCE policy for bullying. Any participant caught bullying another will be disqualified, and will be forced to forfeit the rest of their matches.
- Tournaments begin promptly after registration. If you arrive after the first battle of the tournament takes place, you cannot be added into the brackets and compete.
Mandatory $5 Entry Fee = More Qualifiers + Extra Credits + Free Face Booster!
To help subsidize the high cost of flying/busing the qualifiers to Toronto, a mandatory $5 entry fee will be imposed on all Qualifier Series tournaments, regardless of whether or not a participant has a Blader Passport (if you wish to purchase a Blader Passport, the total cost would be $15 at a Qualifier Series tournament), and there will be no prize reimbursement apart from the travel expenses for the winner. We hope that everyone can understand this! The more funds we have, the bigger this championship will be! However, to show our appreciation for your cooperation and support in helping to fund the championship, all participants in Qualifier Series tournaments will receive the following:
- +1 Extra Credit to be used for prizes from our awesome Blader Rewards, on top of whatever they would have normally earned.
- One of these Face Boosters:

Can't wait to see everyone!
CT must be doing something right.
I'll be there around 12:30, with Bullchamp. As I already told Naiajlak, I'm willing to help judge or bring my stadium, if needed, so we can mange to do block.
Good luck to all, can't wait to see you there.
Who's going on to Toronto to win it all and show everyone how much carp CT can really kick?
Won!
Can't wait for AN and happy to represent our state in GBT2.
