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

Where do we meet so you can show me where the room is going to be
Don't you think you should take it upon yourself to look up and visit the location to see? Or at least call the hotel and make sure yourself and look up the hotel online at the very least.

At least we will be warm!!(Jan. 09, 2018 8:20 PM)beyblader 5372 Wrote: Where do we meet so you can show me where the room is going to be

Dont take this the wrong way, read this with thick skin, this is soley constructive criticism, but you really should have been a bit more prepared for this, if you knew you were going to be busy and not have the proper time to prepare an event that people are going to want to come back to, you should have allotted for the time that you needed based on your priorities before beyblade. A venue is one of the most important things when holding an event. Most events take around 5-6hrs to do, and its winter, the majority of players are young and require having their parents there with them. If I were a parent and my kid wanted to go to a beyblade tournament at a park in the middle of winter, itd be a flat out no for me. Not because i personally would hate to sit out in the cold all those hours, but also because i wouldnt want my child out in that weather. I said all of that to say im probably not the only person to think this way and thats really going to hurt your numbers and your returning crowd. As host you are soley responsible for everyone having an enjoyable time. Its not an easy task, and shouldnt be taken lightly. I have faith in you and look forward to being able to attend one of your events in the near future. Good luck on saturday!

Hey @[beyblader 5372], can you make this spreadsheet publicly visible (but not editable)? Thanks!
I'm not sure where this came from, but it's listed in our data archive and is incomplete: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...sp=sharing

Hey @[beyblader 5372], following up on this once again. Can you please make the spreadsheet publicly viewable. Thank you!
There's still a couple missing users that's holding the event back from being pre-processed however.

Username changes - This post by Angry Face and the previous posts in this thread by AmishRaven/ChimeraBurst
I've gone ahead and created new users for "jr" and "trey" since we can't be sure the existing super old accounts are actually them ... jr became johnberry and trey became treyVA.
