Is the event in Houston pretty big? I am from Austin and I am planning to go with my parents.

We typically have between 16 - 25 participants at our ranked events, so a decent size! We usually run the finals right up until 5PM. Hope you can make it!! We have a few people from Austin who attend.

Are the first 5 rounds round robin? I’m confused what it means by all Bladers will play 5 rounds.

It is a swiss format. So each blader plays 5 rounds, then those that got the top 8 in wins move on to a bracket tourney.

I think all drifts should be banned 🚫. To make things interesting 😅.

Great tournament today!!
