Ah, screw it, I'll just post my idea for these kinds of tournaments here. Note, these are side events to go in conjunction with the actual HMS and MFB tournaments:
The Beylympics!
The idea is to literally have bladers compete in contests of skill, just like the actual Olympics, but with their blades. For example:
Running of the Round Shells: Bladers take turns sniping Round Shell MS in Running Mode at targets (the box itself has targets on it, and if no one has a Round Shell in general there's a $45 one on Plamoya, which is a pretty nice price.) Most hit from certain distances, or most hit in a row wins first, second and third. Since the surface is carpet, you don't have to worry about damage to RSMS either.
Eternal Sharp Hackysack!: Bladers try to hand-spin or launch beyblades with the ES bottom onto different parts of their body in order to perform tricks. The trick is to get a good spin, and use as many parts of your body as possible. Customizing correctly is also important, so long as the bottom/performance tip is ES. Places would be given based on length of spin, number of different tricks, number of each trick, and other stuff that would be calculated in some sort of point system that I'm devising right now. You can bounce it off your knees, head, hand, even foot, or do tricks with your hands like under a leg, hand to hand, under your arm, etc.! Since it's carpet, and ES, not B : D (not used for this very reason, along with spin time differences and shape of the bottom affecting results too much) is being used, there is less chance of breakage and more easily replaceable.
That's all for now, but what do you people think? Any suggestions, comments or additional ideas?
NOTE: If the TOs don't approve, you can delete this post. The idea is still a work in progress after all.
"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. The new needs friends. Last night, I experienced something new: an extraordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions about fine cooking is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core. In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau's famous motto, "Anyone can cook." But I realize, only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist; but a great artist can come from anywhere."
-Anton Ego/Peter O'Toole (1932-2013)
Not playing, but judging.
