Don't forget about our social media contest guys! Jimmyjazz is the only one who has posted (yes yours counts)
Yo thats a pretty good intro ad ( carp i dont know what to call it but anyway is really good!) but you should share it in other places like all over youtube / facebook/ google+/ etc... that way a ton of people new to beyblade could come and you guys could introduce them into the hobby!
As further motivation and to try to diversify the prize pool a little bit, the Blizzard Orthus prize at 20 participants is being switched out for 5 MFB Random Boosters and a mechanic papa launcher! Get hyped guys, two days to go! On another note, the park is confirmed to be a gym and two PokeStops in Pokemon Go, I have a few lures the game has given me to use so expect those to be active throughout the day as well!
ok
The big day is tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!

A few reminders:

1. Formats: We are playing Burst, Bakuten Shoot Hybrid (Plastics and HMS), and Team Limited so you will need to bring all of your Beyblades.

2. While it will be more bearable tomorrow then it has for the past couple of weeks it will still be fairly hot so bring lots of water.

3. At some point throughout the tournament we will be trying to order pizza.

4. I have a bunch of stuff for sale so make sure to bring money to have the opportunity to acquire super rare stuff at unbelievable prices!!! http://www.ebay.com/usr/timelysales12

5. Stars and I will have a ton of super current Burst stuff for sale as well including RB3 and the deck set pending delivery of our package within the next 24 hours (curse the postal service!!!)

6. Start thinking about who you'd like to have on your team and if you were a captain the last time we played team remember that you have to still be captain on that team and cannot join another per the team format rules.

7. In the case that Burst and Bakuten Shoot Hybrid end up taking less time than anticipated we may shift to a traditional Limited tournament in which the 4 "teams" of 3 bladers with the most wins at the end of the tournament will go into a single elimination bracket to determine the best overall team (I do not believe we will have time for this).

8. Go watch some videos on my Youtube channel to help build your hype level for the tournament!!! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMQrITR...Xrk8o_f1MA #hypehypehype

9. Pending all of my devices cooperating we will be doing an electronic check-in using Google forms that will allow us to automatically apply seeding based on BeyPoint ranking (a lack of true seeding was a bit of a problem at Beyblade North)

10. If anyone would want to consider being the official photographer/videographer of the day since I'll be busy running everything else there's a random booster in it for you!

11. Don't forget about our special points to be awarded throughout the day for things outside of placing: Best Beyniac Costume: 1 Point
Best Darth Beyder Costumer: 1 Point
Best Sportsmanship throughout the Day: 1 Point
Best East Coast Championship Decoration: 1 Point
Furthest Distance Traveled to be there: 1 Point

*Each blader is only eligible for one of the non-placing related points

12. Don't forget to have fun tomorrow! All of us are getting together to enjoy a hobby, emphasis on hobby, we all cherish. While it's never been a problem in the past this is just a reminder to keep it light and don't take anything too seriously! Furthermore, while it hasn't ever previously been a problem at Maryland tournaments, stealing of Beyblade parts is a potentiality so do always keep an eye on your own blader gear, especially at an event that is looking like it's going to shape up to be fantastically large!
I just sent Invites and added this event to the BeyMap. It should have been done earlier, but I just noticed that it was not there yet, so hopefully it can still help...

Good luck to everybody tomorrow!
I'm so pissed I can't make it. Maybe I'll be there next year. At least I will probably win the social media contest because I'm the only entry
I am so salty that I won't be making this awesome event this year. I do hope that everybody that's going to this event has some fun, makes some friends, and raises awareness of Maryland, and DMV Beyblade.
I'm really into video and such so I could do it. I would've brought my camcorder if I had seen earlier but I could get the footage on my phone and either edit it or send it to those to post to the channel.
Hurry up guys!

How did this end up?
While the participant list wasn't as diverse as I had hoped, I still got to meet/battle a few new people like Beyblade Strong, PidgeotWiz, and EJAlex. Must have used up all my bacon power in Burst because while I got 3rd there, I did real bad in Limited (didn't use enough Flame 230).

Burst Spreadsheet
Limited Spreadsheet

Hope I see all of you again next year!
I had a lot of fun, despite a lower than expected turnout. I've been out of the game for a good while now due to a variety of factors, but playing (and winning Eee) felt refreshing.

See you all some time in September (hosted by either myself or Yami)!

Maybe I can make that one
Not quite the turnout we had hoped for/expected (14), but it remained a day of Bey! We ended up doing Burst and Limited and then Bakuten Shoot Hybrid!

Overall Placings:
1st: *Ginga* (1st in Burst and BSH (4th in Limited))
2nd: Yami Stars (2nd in Burst, 2nd in BSH)
3rd: Time (2nd in Limited and 3rd in BSH (#phantomfoxOP), 4th in Burst)
4th: Wombat (3rd in Burst)/ TheGrimRipper13 (3rd in Limited)

Other tidbits: I went undefeated in round robin play in both Burst and Limited, but then people got my goat in Burst finals then limited went 2-1 which led to a three-way tiebreaker for first, then everyone went 1-1, and then finally only I went 1-1 in the final tiebreaker.

Shoutout to @[TheGrimRipper13] for placing for the first time and @[Beyblade Strong] for having some of the best sportsmanship I've ever seen, never played with anyone so polite and encouraging!

Major major shoutout to @[Wombat] for being the ultimate homey and doing the spreadsheets
Congrats guys! Wish any of us NC players could go, but I'm glad you guys had fun.

Do I still win the social media contest even though I was the only person who entered? If so, how do I claim my prize
Forgot to mention this yesterday, but I think someone else might have gone home with my Burst Stadium (it's mold 1, has red clips, and has 'Wombat' written on the bottom) because towards the end of the Limited tournament I realized it was missing.

I assume whoever it was took it by accident thinking it was theirs, because after all of the events were over there was another mold 1 Burst stadium with black clips that didn't belong to any of the people still there. I went ahead and took that one with me, but if everyone at the event could check the bottom of their stadiums I'm interested to see who I swapped with.
