Summer Spiny Tops
Host: CrisisCrusher07
Location: This event will be held outdoors at Martin Luther King Jr. Park. Please note the address in the description as the park itself is quite large and typing the park name into Google Maps may lead you in the wrong direction. Look at the picture for guidance.
Time: As the tournament will start promptly at 1:00pm, please plan to arrive around 12:00pm when registration will begin. Registration will close at 12:45pm. Confirming your attendance on the WBO event page does not substitute for registration at the venue.
Prizes: Will be given to the 1st through 3rd top placed players after the finals have been completed.
COVID-19 Precautions READ THIS BEFORE CONFIRMING YOUR ATTENDANCE:
This event will cooperate with Montgomery County Reopening Guidelines, which do not require, but still suggest the following:
- Social distancing of 6 feet when possible
- Signs and markings indicating 6 feet gaps
- Face coverings for everyone over age 2 (Please note that players who do not bring their own face covering will be unable to compete)
- Guidance and training on the rules
- Disinfectants applied to common used surfaces
Please also be aware of the WBO COVID-19 Guidelines effective from last year.
In addition, we respectfully request that all parents and siblings of tournament participants remain away from the playing area and avoid close interactions with tournament equipment and individuals outside of their immediate family. Participants may bring no more than one guardian this event.
Note: The winner will get to choose from these 3 prizes first, then second will choose out of the remaining 2 prizes, and third will get whatever is left.
Other Information:
Please come prepared. It is helpful for both hosts and judges if all participants bring at least one Takara Tomy or Hasbro-manufactured Beyblade of their own and more than one launcher when possible. Additionally, parents of children under the age of 13 must be present for the duration of the event, as tournament end times can be difficult to estimate, and we would hate for someone to be left behind once it is over.
Be aware of your belongings. We'd advise users to please, please look after your stuff. While yes this is a Beyblade tournament and we're not suggesting that any of us would attempt to take each other's stuff it is still happening at a public venue where other people (who may not be so friendly) are going to be present as well. Of course, if you see a personal belonging lying around bring it up any of the judges so we can return it to the right person. Your co-operation is appreciated!
All players must arrive on-time. The tournament will begin no later than 1:00 PM and is expected to run for about 3 hours, though if there is a large turnout it may take longer. Please plan accordingly. If you do not arrive at the scheduled start time, you risk being excluded from the tournament. The software we use to run our events–Challonge–does not allow us to add in extra participants once the tournament has started.
If you know in advance that you will be late, please post in this thread or contact someone at the event and depending on the circumstances we can perhaps still include you if we know you will arrive soon.

Perhaps you already knew the rules on this, and meant having other-brand discs. But, we can't exactly take that chance, we have to check what you mean.
As has been said by others, you need to be careful about mixing TT and Hasbro parts.
Discs and frames are mostly brand agnostic. You can use TT discs with Hasbro frames, or Hasbro discs with TT frames, that's fine.
You can use TT layers and tips/drivers with Hasbro discs, or Hasbro layers and tips/drivers with TT discs.
But tips and layers, do not mix them between brands. That means no Hasbro layer on a TT driver, or a TT layer on a Hasbro driver.
Here is the current Burst Standard rules under Rules and Resources:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mbjw...sp=sharing
It's on page 6.
"Brand Incompatibility: Hasbro Energy Layers cannot be used with Takara-Tomy Drivers, and Takara-Tomy Layers cannot be used with Hasbro Performance Tips. This applies to official battles in WBO events, and parts previously used in testing in a mixed brand combination. The slopes on Hasbro Energy Layers that have played with Takara-Tomy Drivers inevitably are damaged, increasing their burst resistance illegally."
The driver tooth is slightly higher on the TT drivers, you see. Makes it harder for Hasbro layers to burst, but it can also damage and alter them to make them mostly unburstable. It is a form of cheating.
Your beys will be studied rather carefully at the tournament to make sure you aren't mixing layers and tips for brands, and the slopes on your Hasbro layers will be checked.
EDIT: Upon further reflection it does not appear that they are registered for the tournament. I hope they aren't intending to attend without being registered (it's currently full).

You shouldn't, it's full. We don't have waitlists at the moment, we used to, in the non-pandemic times. Current WBO policy (don't think it's changed yet) is no waitlists. Although Maryland cut out the outdoor event attendee limit, WBO still has a "One accompanying person per blader max" and "Only people registered before the tournament can attend" rules.

Here they are.
6. Do Not Bring More Than 1 Person With You
9. Only Bladers Registered Before the Tournament Day may Participate
If the Staff wants to change those rules before the tournament, they can. But it'd be a Staff decision.
