• Availablitity of judges is a problem. If all judges are playing in one Team BeyBattle, what happens? Luckily we had enough to allow this to never be an issue at BEY OR DIE, but I can foresee it being a problem in the future. It also forced us in this situation to run the tournament more slowly than we would have to run a regular round robin with at least two BeyBattles going on at once.
  
• A three team Team Format Round Robin tournament would produce only 9 BeyBattles. That's far too few. We might have to increase the lower limit to 4.
  
• Scoring the Team BeyBattles by individual rounds rather than BeyBattle wins is great. It creates situations where going into the final BeyBattles teams talk about how many rounds they need to win to at least tie or move on. This can inform the choice of Beyblades greatly. It's really interesting!
  
• Private selection for representatives of each round is also great. Teams varied their lineup a lot depending on who they were facing and who they thought each team would send out each round. Again, more opportunity for teams to talk amongst themselves to decide what they want to do.
  
• LMAO suggested an interesting idea after the tournament today: rather than choosing the winners of Team Format tournaments based on the Team Beyattle wins, choose them based on the overall scores. It's possible that a team who has more Team BeyBattle wins could have a worse cumulative individual rounds record than a team with slightly less Team BeyBattle wins. A good example today was Team DAY BREAKERS vs. Team Blitzkreig Boyz. DAY BREAKERS were 3-0, and 21-12. Blitzkreig Boyz were 2-1, 20-10. The difference is not huge in this instance, but maybe it could be in others. Or, instead of choosing the winner based on the cumulative individual round records, we could simply take those top two round wins records to play a final Team BeyBattle no matter what. What do you think?
  
• Even though I believe a Team Format tournament would be even better with a larger amount of teams, I do fear the amount of time it will take to complete those tournaments because you not only have to deal with Stalling Clause, but you also have to deal with the time it takes for teams to decide who is playing that particular round. We should perhaps put a time limit on this aspect of Team Format.

Yeah, with the suggestion I made, Pockyx3 and I were discussing how it should be a total win to loss ratio, for an example our team today went 20-10 which would give us a 2.00 score ratio, not exactly sure what Team Daybreakers ratio would be but it would be around 1.9-something because of the 1 extra win and 2 losses. This would mean Team Blitzkreig Boyz would have won the tournament with a higher overall ratio. I believe that with the way it is now, it's good, but this is just another option that should be discussed

Few of my concerns with the suggestion are:

- In the case of no tiebreakers ; No matter what, the winning team will have the most number of total accumulated round wins anyway.
- In the case of tiebreakers ; The 2nd best team that had a tiebreaker will end up with more round wins than the best team that had no tiebreaker despite perfect 3-0s record for their rounds. It still doesn't justify that the 2nd best team deserves to win, just because it had more rounds to play with in a tiebreaker.

Frankly speaking, with the current WBO's system that only counts basic wins and losses in a BeyBattle, instead of Point System, it's unnecessary to count round wins. We had already taken a leap with counting the accumulated round wins to determine BeyBattle wins, and that has proven to be great and presented fresh event experience. If by any chance, we consider the suggestion of counting accumulated round wins, it only makes sense that we consider a system where each round actually counts for something, ie: Point System. That will definitely elevate tactics on what combo to use, who uses it, who it's facing against, etc.

2 for KOs
1 for OS
1 for Slip Out (awarded to the opponent)

A minimum of 3 points will end the BeyBattle.

Can you guys scream out "Attack galore" ??
