I won't have any HMS for sale at this tournament, but if there is interest moving forward it is something that I can look into. The vast majority of these beys are not at all cheap - so it's a bit of a challenge.

Hello MD Bladers!
Just like Charles Darwin took a voyage of discovery to the Galapagos Islands on the HMS Beagle, Maryland bladers get to discover HMS beyblades in a special tournament this month, Voyages of HMS Beagle! The tournament is co-hosted by me and Arupaeo, and will be held at the same time as the regular monthly MFB tournament, Ataque de Año Nuevo.
HMS is a very fun beyblade format, and I hope that the bladers with HMS beys come out and compete to show everyone what it's all about!
If you play in both tournaments, you only pay the room fee once, and if you have a blader passport you don't pay any additional tournament fees either!
The Marriott Wardman Park Hotel is located about 100 yards west of Connecticut Avenue on Woodley Road. Parking in the surrounding neighborhoods can sometimes be challenging due to the close proximity of the National Zoo, so please plan to either arrive early to find free parking, arrive whenever and pay for parking, or take the DC Metro Red Line to the Woodley Park / National Zoo station and a very short walk to the hotel.

And yes, reading the Universal rules is important because there are some HMS-specific rules that are not in the standard rules.

I actually got my carp kicked by Dei, but I still had a lot of fun.
Once I have the money, I might be going into HMS, and staying out of MFB for a little. I need to get back out at Dei, my launcher fell out of my launcher grip 3 times.

One final note of great interest to the top three finishers!
While we were not able to get approval for physical prizes for this tournament and beypoints won't be given, we were able to get approval (on a one-time-only basis) to give the top three their choice of one of these Face Boosters:
So Arupaeo, Bedoc123450 and Snowballman, chime in and claim your prize by posting which Face Booster you have selected here in this thread!
For me, I choose Face Booster PURPLE! [Image: FaceBoosterIconPurple.png]
