Itinerary
Saturday July 23rd: “Dark Continent”
10:00-10:50 AM: On Site Registration (Please arrive early as parking can be chaotic. There is a parking deck directly across from the Convention Center on Lenoir street)
10:50-11:00 AM: Announcements and Rule Overviews

4:00PM (Approximate): Tournament End time.
4:00PM-07:00PM: Free Play (YuGiOh, Pokemon, Beyblade)
7:00PM-9:00PM: Secondary Tournament (Invite Only)
Feel free to dress up as your favorite anime character, Beyblade or not, just keep it family friendly 😎.
With most to all Beyblade tournaments we will have an area for free play during the event. However, free play will be limited so participants can be attentive and hear when their names are called to compete. This will help the event flow better so we can overall enjoy our time. A practice area will definitely be available.
Since we will be playing inside, after the tournament is over, participants are welcome to stay a little longer and enjoy free play with either Beyblade, Pokemon or YuGiOh. I am a big nerd and enjoy the TCG life also. There are many coming who still are a part of the YuGiOh competitive scene, so if you have your deck ready please feel free to bring it 😎.

For the second day event at bladers kingdom do we need to sign up anywhere or if we sign up here it counts as our entry into bladers kingdom?
So excited for you! Can’t wait to read about how this goes

I’m not allowed to have more than 2 events posted at once, so sadly there isn’t a registration for it just yet but it’s open invite. As long as you sign up here, you’re good. Honestly though Blader’s Kingdom is fully open so even if you can’t register for dark Continent you can still come to Blader’s kingdom. I don’t plan to cap it

The lowers of the hierarchy don't get the same benefits as the uppers

I can allow that answer to be justified 🤣

Yep what that guy ☝🏾said. It’s legit 5G but no repeating driver variants. Here is the rulebook. Blader’s Kingdom Rulebook

SpikeStorm has wanted a crack at Kei since he started competitive blading. He got wins against Cscramon and UnionAchilles at the state clash so he’s feeling strong, haha. It would be amazing if the Toronto contingency made the trip!
BeyCaddie that would be AWESOME! It may not happen this here because they are having a big event the weekend before. But hopefully something will work out in the future to get a big competitive event going 😎
Looks like most of the NC gang from state clash will be there. Anyone know about Arka, Bladermon, Rayne?

Arka may have to work. Bladermon and Rayne I am not sure about. We still have a lot of time though so hopefully they will show up.
Yeah we do have a lot of time. I’ll have to go harass them in the discord channel 😈

Signed up, and looking forward to it!
If we hit the participant cap, can it be raised?
(May. 03, 2022 3:41 AM)BeyCaddie Wrote: If we hit the participant cap, can it be raised?
I do not plan to. This is do to time and format rules. We can’t have more than 64 participants with Swiss, and for good reason because it will take quite some time.
Beyond 64 participants is double/single elimination. I’d rather not have players travel to possibly be eliminated after a match or 2.
Like many events though I’m sure some players won’t show up or will unregister before the event. So it can help others join that may be interested.
WILL THIS EVENT BE STREAMED ON YOUTUBE/ TWITCH???
