The Beat Goes On (BST)

Don't have any Beyblades from this series? No problem! We would be happy to lend a Beyblade and launcher to you to use for the duration of the event!
Side Notes
Please 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: 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.
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.
All questions for this tournament may be asked in this thread!
I am going to confirm the location next month

Yes its a Saturday
I hope you can make it
Please put on warm clothes for the event it's going to be cold

UPDATE: I just got off the phone with the Sheraton Roanoke Hotel 2801 Hershberger Rd NW, Roanoke, VA 24017
and they are willing to allow us to use any of their public space free of charge!! I've stayed here several times for work and when you go in and turn toward the right... down by the pool and elevator area... There is a great out of the way place we could hold the event?!? Also the restaurant closes at 11am on the weekends. So we could stage people in the chairs there too!
Checking now with Hotel Roanoke... though they seem booked on the 13th. Should hear back today on availability.

Star City Anime is next month I can't because they stop doing beyblade tournament
Are you saying Mishap won't let you host there anymore?
And by Star City Games I mean the Star City Game Center on Williamson Rd. They usually aren't too busy on Saturdays and might consider letting us do a tournament there.

I'll ask if they let us
Is it going to be at the Sheraton hotel?

So we can use the space at Sheraton because star city games didn't let use the space for the tournament
