We’re really excited to visit Maryland and host our first tournament in the area! It’s going to be great to see some old friends and meet new ones!!!
We are gonna use Single Blader Format for this event, with the DB stadium.
It should be a decent amount of fun and excitement with trying something new 😎.
As mentioned this is our first MD event so we plan to arrive super early to set up and have things in order. We hope to secure the pavilion as well. Please arrive around 11am so we can get everyone officially registered and start at noon.

You are going to be VERY CONFUSED.
So, how many Single Blader rounds will be played, and how many Team Blader rounds will be played? How are the teams constructed, by choice, or randomly, or some other method?
Will there be a finals round, and if so, what will be the criteria for participation?

As Allen mentioned Drift is only banned on dual spin layers for pre finals.
What I’d like to do the day of the event is have 3 rounds for team Blader format. Really just to showcase the format. Bladers can choose there own team of 3 and for players who may come alone I’ll draft teams for them.
I’d like to do 5 rounds of single Blader format with an added finals round. But this all depends on time. Single Blader format should move quickly. Everything will depend when things kick off and the amount of participants.
I will go over everything the day of the event also, so no one is confused. I like to keep things simple. The rules may seem complicated but I’ll explain everything simply.
Well, 3 rounds team without finals, and 5 rounds single with finals? I guess so?
If you need extra judges, I can certainly try, as long as I double check the format rules carefully. Or you may choose not to have me judge; also valid!

You’re perfectly fine to judge. I’m gonna need the help. Wins are still wins. I really appreciate the help.
