Virginia's First BeyDays!

Yo, Virginia Bladers, who's ready for BeyDays?!

This event will be held under the picnic shelter at Darrel Shell Park, behind Penn Forrest Elementary School in the Cave Spring area of Roanoke, VA. The standard $5 entrance fee will apply, and as always, Blader Passport holders will bypass it. Prizes for first, second, and third places will include Faces, Credits, and their pick of either a Beyblade Burst Starter or Booster from here!


New Experimental Format? Whaaat?!

In addition to the day's main event, we will be running a second, official-unofficial Burst tournament with the following modified rules:

• Spin Finish: 1 Point
  
• Burst Finish: 2 Points
  
• Over Finish: 2 Points
  
• No-Contact KO: 1 Point
  
• To Win: 3 Points
  

There will be no entry fee for this tournament, and it will not be processed or have physical prizes. However, credits and faces will still be awarded to winners and participants.


But wait, there's more!

What's Beyblade Burst?

Beyblade Burst is the third generation of Beyblade that launched last July 2015 in Japan, and should begin appearing in North America sometime by the end of 2016. If you are not familiar with Beyblade Burst, please take a look at our Beyblade Channel In-Depth Review Video covering it.

Awesome, another BeyDays event Hope everyone can make it out!

With regards to the experimental format tournament, I'd request that everyone really does their best to play seriously and to the best of their abilities while considering the new rules. We're trying to measure the impact this change would have on player behaviour and viable strategies, so your experiences will help shape the future of WBO competitive play.

Best of luck everyone!

Well I unfortunately had to cancel my trip to Toronto for Beyblade North... but at least this is happening! I'll be there for sure.

I'm pretty eger to try out this new format. I definitely agree that over finishes should be worth two points but I'm not sure how I feel about two-point bursts yet.

I have confirmation that I shall come join this Beyday event! I'm excited to use my new parts, so expect the unexpected from me in this tournament.

Sorry your travel plans fell through, but it's great that you'll be joining us for BeyDays!

Victory Valkyrie and Deathscyther were the big players in both tournaments today. IMO, V2_X is the best straight Attack type Layer-Driver setup in the game at the moment. With at good launch, you can KO or Burst almost everything, as we observed today, ha.

The day started off a bit poorly when I got texts from Copper Spark, TitanTactic7, and IOnlyUseQuake about them not being able to attend, however, we still ended up with 7 players for both tournaments, with @[Kellin], @[Caiden25], and @[Lashae08] joining ZachBob, Morkad, BeyCrafter, and me for the Beyblade frays-that-were!

Both events, despite the low player count, were definitely highly competitive. Between ZachBob, BeyCrafter, and me, we had enough competitive parts and launchers to loan out to Kellin, Caiden25, and Lashae08, who came only with Metal Fury and Shogun Steel Beyblades. Thanks again for loaning out your equipment, you guys!

We finished with both tournaments by about 3:30PM, much earlier than I'd anticipated, partly due to the low player count, but also because Attack was super prevalent in both tournaments. The tester tournament was actually over in almost an hour! Burst and Over Finishes being worth 2 points made a huge difference in both the length of the tournament, as well as the outcomes that arose from the possibility of potentially being done with a BeyBattle in just 2 rounds. We'd noticed in the first tournament, where all match win conditions counted for only 1 point each, that a 2-0 point advantage for an Attack type in a match from KOs could easily turn into a 2-3 point loss as the result of failure to score that crucial third KO.

While I didn't place in the tester tournament, I definitely felt as though the modified format was more fun to spectate. It was much more exciting to me to watch a match where one player's Stamina combo could have a 2-0 point advantage against an Attack type when the Attack type suddenly scores a freak KO or Burst Finish to bring the match up to an immediate tie. It not only added another level of tension to the game, but also seemed to raise the spirits of the player who was losing only moments before and remind the player who was winning that no BeyBattle, regardless of score, is really over as long as their Beyblades are still spinning.

Attack types still require as much skill to win with as before, but I think these rules make it much easier to win when you use them effectively. After all, the system totally rewarded me for my adept usage of V2HX in the first three rounds of the tester tournament--but I messed up my launch technique every time after that against KAC, DHC, and ULD. Overall, though, I really dig this format and would love to play it again!

Thanks again to everyone, especially ZachBob and BeyCrafter, for coming out today to make Termibeytor 2: Judgement BeyDays a hit! Details on our next event should be posted in the Virginia tournament discussion thread in the days to come.

Till next time!
