hey. Does anyone know if anyone from NYC is still in Canada with room for two in their car? apparently there is some rule that we had to be on our plane an hour before departure that we didn't know about. We missed that by 15 minutes and now they won't let us on the plane. We'll cover some of the gas.

Did you try switching the flight for a later time? I believe it is just a bit extra to do that.

Apparently it was the last flight so we aren't able to do that.

I had so much fun at this tournament! I got to meet a lot of bladers, even getting some to sign my "notebook". Good job to all the participants, and congrats to all of the placing teams! It was a very close battle between us and Team Daybreakers, but it ended up in our loss. Still, congratulations to them! I can't wait for next year!

On a side note, I found an extra Metal Stone Face Plastic Outer Ring in my bag. If it's anyone's, let me know so we can figure out someway to get it back,

Thank you to everyone for making my tournament experience extremely enjoyable!

Has anyone or did anyone come across a loose white Launcher Grip handle? Seems I've lost mine. I know I lent it out to several people over the weekend. I doubt it was stolen considering that the handle is kind of useless without the other part that holds the launcher ...

It's in my bag Scott. Worst is I considered throwing it out lol

The car ride ended up almost double what it should have taken, hah. Still, nothing at all like what Cye Kinomiya had to endure; I was seriously thinking all the time about whether there was anywhere I could have driven you that would have made your return easier and cheaper, but I could not figure anything out.
I just found this to be a weird coincidence, hah.

There was an error in the organizers thread wich said that the captain was cye... The actuall leader of team anything was me hah

Ah sorry! You're right. I remember now. I'll fix that.

---

So since I'm not a tournament organizer, I have to post here. All of the tournaments were a lot of fun, even the HMS one where I had no idea what I was doing, haha. Basically my trend for the entire weekend was block strong, but finals weak. Maybe I just don't do well under pressure or something.

Friday (Click to View)

[Image: ojcOXZk.png]
Even though I got put in arguably the toughest block (Kei, geetster, and LMAO's block may have been worse) I got ridiculously lucky and managed to beat Jesse, Dark, and SS1 somehow. Probably the reason I won against SS1 was because his RB wasn't aggressive enough to KO Jade WD. Against OnTheDL (geetster's mom) I thought I would be too short to hit Earth 230 but apparently not. 18 was a new user who joined the tournament late (18 was the number Kei assigned him) so I didn't get his username. Despite the Beyblade he was using he managed to KO me, but I still won. By some miracle I went 5-0 in my block which I'm pretty sure no one in the room was expecting.

JesseObre and I moved on to the finals, along with geetster99, LMAO, The Sponge, and 1234Beyblade. In my first battle against 1234Beyblade I had the matchup right but couldn't get the launch down. I hadn't warmed up enough with Metal Flat so I couldn't find the balance between Self-KOing while still launching hard enough to OS. According to Kei, geetster had been using the Burn Staller the whole time so I picked something that should counter it (Even if I messed up the initial hit I was hoping RF could run down MF before I ran out of speed). Maybe geetster was just having an off day or something, he won the NC qualifier using pretty much only that same Burn Staller. I had no clue what to do against The Sponge so I just went with the combo I was most familiar with. At first I thought I could win by OS but clearly that wasn't the case as the only win I got was a bad launch by him. I battled Jesse again after that and I'm pretty sure he almost beat me with my own RB (he asked to borrow it several times throughout the tournament). Fortunately Omega was able to throw its weight around better than Lightning. I had noticed that LMAO and The Sponge had been sharing a lot of their combos so I figured Libra 230RS was up again. I used LLD and set it to the 145 height, thinking I could exploit the but after I failed to KO it twice in a row I tried to go for the Tornado Stall. Ironically enough those were the two times I KOed it because LRF is so much harder to Tornado Stall with in tournaments than it is in practice or testing. I would basically skip the Tornado Ridge, bounce off the wall, and KO Libra. The final match was pretty intense and I wish someone had recorded it. LMAO wall saved like 3 times and it all came down to a last second Stamina battle that he won. He then held up his Beyblade to Kei's face and said "Scott... ban it," haha.

The side events were pretty cool, I remember Thunder Dome telling me that MF did really well in the Tornado Stadium, so I tried Quetz MF and Libra MF. Neither of them worked, but I managed to get a 2-win streak with Libra 230D before the third winner. I used Pegasis 100MB for the Beyblade race after finding out that RF didn't work that well, but just ended up knocking my opponent down the ramp most of the time. B:D was definitely the way to go for the tower, seeing as I won with Flame B:D and picked up a Galaxy Pegasus.

Saturday (Click to View)

[Image: ipJlQIE.jpg]
I was definitely the weak link on Team Yeti; Suntailhawk carried so hard. Our gameplan was literally to play Rock Paper Scissors Shoe to determine our team order, and it kind of worked.

Although I lost to Classik, I did manage to go 2-3 and help us win the Team Battle. My one win of the day was definitely my most important contribution to the team as I somehow managed to upset geetster 3-0 (got a lucky matchup twice in a row) and I'm pretty sure that was what put Yeti in the finals over GT. Against Team Osu I let the whole team down though, losing 0-3 against Libra Stamina using Omega in what was supposed to be a revenge match against 1234Beyblade. That put Yeti and Osu in a tiebreaker; they chose me after my bad performance against 1234Beyblade and we chose Mitsu, thinking he wouldn't have the guts to use Attack again after losing with it to OnTheDL's Earth AD145/W145WD. Suntailhawk let me use his Duo Cygnus 230MB, since apparently it beat most of the Stamina and Defense combos you see in Limited. Mitsu ended up using Dark Knight LTAC and while I thought I'd be tall enough to avoid it (also plastic on metal contact to minimize damage) he proved me wrong and sniped the carp out of me 3 times in a row. Despite what everyone else was telling me, Mitsu absolutely does not suck with Attack, haha. Either that or he's just really good at reading people's hand position/launch angle. We got totally flattened by Team Day Breakers though, I'm pretty sure both of my teammates lost 0-3, while I went 2-3. My battle against The Boss was basically a toned-down version of my battle against LMAO: I started to make a comeback when I tried Tornado Stalling, and the last round ended in a close OS (but not as close as the LMAO one, and not with as many wall saves).

I actually don't remember any of the side events from Saturday. Maybe I left too early to get lunch. Oh well.

Sunday (Click to View)

I didn't put the HMS tournament into my excel spreadsheet so I don't have a picture, but I can give all the information here. HMS isn't really my thing compared to Plastics, but I ended up going 3-2 and getting 3rd in my block. I was using Circle Upper, Circle Wide, and Bearing Core so most of my wins were lucky recoil KOs or lucky wall saves. Wall saves was how I beat StormScorpio1 who was using the same combo as me, but with Metal Flat instead of Bearing Core. Against Kei I went 2-3 using lucky wall saves and weak launching (he was using Jijariya Blade, Circle Heavy, and GFCUV) and I think I might have had a chance at beating him if I hadn't said that I was weak launching when the score was 1-1. Next up was Leone7, who I'm pretty sure was using a stock Advance Aerazer. We were in the Tornado Balance Stadium so it was harder for him to land a KO, especially since Metal Semi Flat lacks the power of Grip Flat Core/GCFUV. The next two battles against Master Builder Brandon and Dark_Mousy were mirror matches, Brandon was in the BB-10 and Dark in the Tornado Balance. I tried to Sliding Shoot against Brandon for the Upper Attack, and got lucky enough to win. Dark and I got into the spin direction mind-game and tied like 5 times in between one of us choosing right and getting the close OS. In the final match I think I was using Left Spin and he was using Right, and he got a clean KO off of recoil.

The tournament took a lot longer than anticipated, so I had to leave before the side events happened since my flight took off at 3:00. I was especially disappointed that I missed the Plastics tournament that Dark and Dsiks hosted afterwards, after seeing the sick custom dish that Dsiks made and the fact that I had a good chance at winning.

Overall, it was a pretty fun weekend. I'll admit I was looking forward to the solo event more than the team event but they all ended up being exciting. It's a shame that they'll probably be the last tournaments I attend unless I can get something going in Pennsylvania or Vermont (who knows, if I have spare time during college I might travel down to CT if the community's still around).

Again to try to bring the discussion away from the Organizers' Circle and into the more public forum :


This event was very interesting, honestly. I was not even supposed to play since Kei wanted me to organise the matches and the overall tournament structure, but I could not imagine simply watching and sitting all day through a Limited format event. After my trip to Japan, I have a mentality to try to do the most out of occasions in front of me. Plus, I had brought my Beyblades and had not participated in the Friday tournament. The organisation of the event ended up being totally fine without me constantly onto it, delegating result recording to judges in the Blocks and, as Kei mentioned, there was no trouble at all finding a good judge in the team that was not playing, out of the three in each Block.

I had no team at all though coming into the tournament, so I ended up with fellow Montréal Blader DJ ALPHA and Cye Kinomiya, who also had no team yet. We had no idea for the team name though, so when Kei asked him to come up with anything, Cye Kinomiya said : "Team Anything", hah. Thankfully we can change that name later ... Since I wanted to remain a free agent in case we ever held a team format tournament in Montréal, I declined the suggestion of being the captain of the team, and that was probably Cye Kinomiya's reason as well.

We did super well in our first team matchup. I proposed that we should make me go first in the lineup against the other team's members since I would probably lose, so that would give DJ ALPHA and Cye Kinomiya an idea of whether they absolutely had to win, or how many rounds they had to win at least. Thankfully, in my first battle I gave our team a huge advantage by winning 3-0. It ended up being exactly the opposite for our second and last team matchup though, hah. We all performed horribly against Team Osu!.

I really wish I had seen what had happened in Team GT's Block for them not to advance. Apparently it was mostly bad luck, but I was rather shocked to see them eliminated so easily, with their mean BeyRank of eleven. I have the impression, somehow, that it would have been easier to keep up with what took place in other Blocks if it had not been a team format ... Probably because then you do not have to care about how teammates perform.



Overall, I think the only point to improve for the future is something I already told Kei about : I have no voice myself for shouting, but I found that results were not announced often enough and clearly enough. That made people seem very disinterested, like they probably simply guessed that their team was eliminated because they know how to calculate, but nothing was made official, top threes were not always announced, etc. That made people occupy themselves in other ways, nobody clapped for the winners, there was no real gathering around the main stadium in the finals, etc. I remember much better years in that respect, and that does not require us having sixty participants at all.

I actually don't remember any of the side events from Saturday. Maybe I left too early to get lunch. Oh well.

There were none planned for Saturday, that is why, hah.

It’s awesome that you record the details of all of your opponents combos in such detail, @[Wombat]. I don’t know of anyone else who does that, which is surprising considering the competitive value such data has. I’ve always wanted to do it, but I often don’t have the time or energy to do so between my own battles, judging, organizing, and shooting photos/video.

That Bakushun Leone 90RSF combo was really interesting. I’m sure it has decent Defense, but do you often also try to use it offensively? Does it work? Libra 230RS was a kind of tough match up though, as I saw while judging it. Though, even in that case, the “ramps” of Bakushin certainly made an impact in the one round you did win.

LMAO and The Sponge always share combos; they’re brothers lol.

I recorded it the battle between you and LMAO, I believe! I know I have a clip where LMAO tells me we should ban RS again.

And maybe you didn’t do so well at Team BeyBattle Revolution, but I can say with certainty that you were a tough opponent that several people were worried about facing throughout the weekend. It’s always tough to play against someone who is confident with and uses Attack so frequently. Fortunately we were able to counter that with Libra 230RS this weekend, but that could have easily backfired if you had chosen to break your pattern of Attack (that said, you were even pretty close on multiple instances to beating Libra 230RS with Attack, which is impressive).

It was great to see another new person–especially someone who is so knowledgable and competitive–join us at AN this year. It was great meeting you and I hope you can make it again next year!

This event was very interesting, honestly. I was not even supposed to play since Kei wanted me to organise the matches and the overall tournament structure, but I could not imagine simply watching and sitting all day through a Limited format event.

The organisation of the event ended up being totally fine without me constantly onto it, delegating result recording to judges in the Blocks and, as Kei mentioned, there was no trouble at all finding a good judge in the team that was not playing, out of the three in each Block.

Yeah, fortunately the tournament ended up being far easier to organize than I had anticipated. I thought that judge availability would have been a much larger problem, but it turned out perfectly with one qualified judge available on each team.

Overall, I think the only point to improve for the future is something I already told Kei about : I have no voice myself for shouting, but I found that results were not announced often enough and clearly enough. That made people seem very disinterested, like they probably simply guessed that their team was eliminated because they know how to calculate, but nothing was made official, top threes were not always announced, etc. That made people occupy themselves in other ways, nobody clapped for the winners, there was no real gathering around the main stadium in the finals, etc. I remember much better years in that respect, and that does not require us having sixty participants at all.

I don't have an incredible voice either, but I think I did a good job of gathering everyone and announcing the important information as it was necessary (rules at the start, individual matches, finals announcement for each tournament, and end of tournaments) for the most part. Not sure if you missed any of that. I should have announced the winners on Saturday and Sunday explicitly, though. Not sure why I didn't. Although from my perspective, on Friday anybody who was in the room at the end was watching the final battle (and subsequently saw the result where 1234beyblade excitedly, repeatedly, and loudly announced that he was 1st Place and I said that LMAO was 2nd and JesseObre was 3rd. I just re-watched the video I have from the final battle and there was indeed a gathering around the stadium for that. Not sure if you were hiding beside me for that though, since I don't see you anywhere in the video haha). Same thing for Saturday; there was definitely a gathering around the stadium in the finals for Team BeyBattle Revolution. That said, it certainly would have helped if Arupaeo or Elliot were present!

---

Despite what everyone else was telling me, Mitsu absolutely does not suck with Attack, haha.

UMMM WELL EXCUSE ME

Admittedly though, I'm definitely not the best with attack, haha. In our match, Wombat, even if I were to launch lightly, I'd still probably be capable of late-game KO's. I personally love Dark Knight LTAC. They're capable of that and even success against like all attack let alongside against Omega.

Great meeting you man! Definitely try and come back next year!
