I'm still interested in joining a tournament, Not really interested in hosting one though.

Cool, I'd like to host one, but still need a few more posts to be able to become an organizer. I'm somewhat close. Somewhat.

Im IN! My son is all about them beyblades and would really love to be in some tournaments closer to home. We went to the Florida tournament and he loved it. He is loves these things. I would be even willing to help host, if help is needed. Let's do this, Let's get it going...

That's perfect, actually, I'm still trying to decide on when and where the tournament should be held, and I'm trying to study the rules. I reached the 50 posts a while ago, so as soon as we can decide on a place and time, that would be great. Just two things, if you want to co-host, I'm not sure if you need to be an organizer, but I think you should probably go for the 50 posts first and then get ready if you'd like to help hold the tournament (your help would be greatly appreciated) Otherwise, I'm pretty sure you can fill other positions like Judge or Check-in, and both routes would be great. Honestly, I think the earliest I'd like to host a tournament might be next month so I can start preparing, but I'm pretty excited as well! If we're planning on hosting a tournament, I suppose this would count as an RSVP, right?

We're hosting a tournament is Austin right now. If ya'll want, you might be able to come down and see how yours might play out.

Thanks so much for offering, but I don't think I personally will be able to make it. Wish I could, though.

If you ever need any help doing something, feel free to PM me. I'm quite keen to get the competitive Texan seen going again, even if I personally won't be able to come.

That's great, I appreciate your offer. In the posts above, I was trying to get a potential tournament started next month, but I still need to figure out a few things. Just a few questions, can multiple people co-host a tournament? Also, the organizers can potentially be the Judges and fill other roles as well, right? Thanks so much, hopefully we can try to get a few of them going. When I saw the tournament in Austin, I was pretty excited, but I'm not sure I would be able to make it. Maybe next time, I'd really like to get my start with tournaments by seeing how they run as a participant first.

Okay so this is my understanding of the roles.
As an organizer, you can also be a judge and participant, but you may not judge your own battles. You can have as many co-hosts as you want, but really, I would start with just finding enough people to hold a ranked tournament. Co-hosts are not essential and while I have no doubt that you are very patinate about blading, (Because you are trying to become an organizer.) many other people on the website might not be so invested.

Alright, thanks for clearing that up. I'm pretty excited, but I just need to figure out when the best time for one would be according to my schedule. I'll definitely post here about it first, so if anyone is interested, be on the lookout for the next two months or so.

It also looks like you want to put a lot of format and bey restrictions on the tournament, restrictions that would not be supported by the WBO ruleset (did you read the WBO format rules?). WBO tournaments and events designate which formats may be used based on number of participants. There is also nothing in the WBO rules which allows you to apply arbitrary restrictions on beys based on color. If you wanted to do any of that, it would have to be a non-WBO event. And as a non-WBO event, you would not be allowed to advertise it on WBO.

It sounds like an advertisement for Hugs Cafe.

Please don't do this? Please read and understand the WBO rules before trying to make a tournament on this site.

Seriously, staff, lock this thread or merge it into another Texas thread. Stop letting these errant threads remain open.

No. I'm not. That's not what was said at all. It was said to someone else who opened a McKinney Texas specific thread which has since been merged by staff into the Houston regional thread. You should read a bit more carefully before drawing conclusions.

There are several Texas threads, and for good reason: Texas is big. But we only need one Texas thread for each region.

I apologize, that was my mistake. I didn't realize it was mentioned that it was initially posted elsewhere on the post itself and made the assumption that the Houston thread would be closed. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I would like to try to host my first tournament over the summer, so would anybody be available and willing to attend? If you can, can you specify when or where you would prefer the location to be so I can fine tune the details? It has to be within Houston or its surrounding suburbs, obviously, and I would like to hold it in the later half of July. All input is welcome! (This is not a request to hold a tournament, I would just like to gather information from the people who may attend a potential tournament.)

This is gonna sound really far-fetched, but this worked for me. What I did is I simply made a tournament. The Texas community is much larger than either of us think, and people started signing up at a insane rate. When I say signed up, I mean to the WBO. They weren't no-shows either. I think you might as well just dive in and see how it goes. I can try to direct some people around here to your tournament. Whether I can come or not really depends on if my parents are willing to take me, but there are some people that are willing to drive for awhile to go to a Texas tournament.

Wow, that's way better than I expected! You have no idea how much this helps, I was pretty anxious nobody would sign up. As of right now, it's looking like somewhere from July 10th to the end of July, so if you're willing to sign up, I would be extremely thankful. (Might need some pointers on site  )
