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!!!

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!!!

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!
