Cosplay

Feel free to dress up as your favorite anime character, Beyblade or not, just keep it family friendly 😎. 


AFTER TOURNAMENT FREE PLAY

Pokémon & YuGiOh

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 😎.

Thank you. Can you please set the cap to 64 participants when you are able.
I'm in there!
Well my wife will be blading for me lol.
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

Wish you could be gone there but the wedding definitely takes priority, we’ll battle again soon 😎.

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

That’s only because all of them are events for Anime North which is a 3 day convention. So those they kind of have to have all of the tournaments that will be happening at the convention up at once.
For the 5G format of bladers kingdom do you need 5 different combos to participate or is it just up to 5 combos can be used?

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.

Signed up, and looking forward to it!

Glad you can come, hope you enjoy the competition 😎
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???
