I know there are a decent number of us and that we did have one tournament over the summer, although I was unfortunately out of the country and probably wouldn't have competed that early after getting back to Beyblade in general. We also don't really have a discussion going as all the other Illinois or Chicago threads have been dead for a while, even though this one will probably die out as well.
I would like to know how many would be interested in trying to put together some sort of event before the end of the year. I personally think late November through the end of December would be our best bet as schools will be on break and there's a 98% chance I can get a standard type stadium by then. People from Northern Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, and anyone else who thinks they might make it are all welcome. However, I personally can't host as I'm not qualified to. If absolutely nobody can host, then I could try to get qualified. (Please don't make me do it, I have no clue how to do this stuff although I'd be willing to help if someone else hosts) I know BoogieTheBlader hosted the tournament back in July or August, so maybe they can help host. It would be very much appreciated
If anyone has a good location, definitely write it down as I don't think we want to be out in a public park during a Chicago winter. If you can provide a stadium, can volunteer/judge, or even host (again, I've had an account for under a week and am not qualified) then put that down as well.
Well, that sums up anything I have to say. If I forgot anything please mention it. Hopefully we can get something going before the end of the year, as I think a good lot of us would enjoy having an Illinois tournament scene.
