Byes are basically free wins given out in case of an instance there is an odd number of players. The odd player out has no one to pair up with, so they get a bye.

Multi-question time XD!!!!!

Kohdok, who got kicked out on Sunday I think Agent Spectre, I even got a hug from her, wierdly enough

2) Kohdok got kicked out? 3) Why?

Because I was older than 15 and younger than 35 without an official Spinmaster uniform. I'd discussed with Donna the event manager in great detail what my intentions were when I met up with her on Friday (At the same time filming the setup). "Mastress" Donna, Spinmaster's Official Event Manager may I remind you, neglected to inform the rest of the staff about what I was doing there (Filming a documentary) and apparently some stupid parents complained about my mere presence and when they went to the staff, the staff had no idea what to do.To avoid liability, I was kicked out.Yeah, I got screwed over pretty badly.

Wow, that sucks Kohdok.Weird that they didn't kick you out at Dallas but they do at NYC....

Yeah, I know. The only difference was that I had a camcorder.I guess yankees are just more paranoid than Texans. The only thing that happened to me in Dallas was I was told to put my camera away because I had no authority to shoot. This time, when I DID have authority, there was too much mis-communication, the staff didn't know what to do, and I was confined to the balcony before being tossed out altogether.That, and when I asked to do some simple filming on stage before anything really started up and they said no because they would have "liability"(They loved using this word the whole weekend) if I got hurt. Um, exCUSE me?! I've ACTED on stage, I've been a GRIP on stage, HUNG SPOTLIGHTS on stage and when I was 13 I played in the orchestra so I lugged around a big heavy STRING BASS on stage! I know how to navigate my way around a damn stage and if I got hurt it's my own dang fault! Still, my extensive past experience with stages couldn't persuade them, and so they brought up dozens of little kids and pretty much everyone else who showed up with a camera onto the stage from upstairs so I could watch from the balcony as they blocked my view and kept me from getting any good shots.Still, it wasn't that big a deal, as what I was really after was the interviews and my interactions with people at the Sheraton "Bakugan Corner" we formed had no incidents whatsoever involving me. I got tons of footage! Maybe I'll show off the rough-cut of my finished works or just some highlights.Besides, I hear these sorts of things happen to documentary makers all the time!

Okay, that right there, sucks altogether. Really Kohdok, getting kicked out. No one from BB winning. ugh, It's Freaking Nationals, they should of at least made it top 32.

[NP2.0Member]

Oh well, it was still fun, win or lose!

[TimessMember]

Ugh, they need to make major changes. To make it even more fun. I mean for Pokemon TCG, once the finals ended at around Midnight….. That was just at States.

[andrewMember]

Yep, well I'm back in California, still driving home, but I'm back, and it was so much fun! Have too many new friends now, and I saw a lotsss of people, such as DB, SH, Subquake, Kohdok, who got kicked out on Sunday I think >_<, um, yeah, long story short, Nick and I were in the same flight, I got my first loss to him, which was fine cause we knew it was bound to happen, just not so early, than he lost to this one dude

This actually pisses me off a whole lot. I don't blame the parents for being skeptic... Because I was expecting myself to get looks and stuff, myself. It's just that most of the staff was hire-ons that ran security or volunteers. They didn't bother for any briefing... Or didn't give out any filming badges. I think it was the beard man. It's a sort of mentality that beards and the like make people think "Pedopedopedopedo," right off the bat. I made sure to shave mine up before heading up. I usually keep mine short, as it is, but I still knew how it could change the way people look at you.

[KohdokMember]

Whatchoo talkin' bout SQ? I just need to gain some more weight and I'll be the spitting image of Orson Welles!Still, I can understand the concern. I didn't ask to look the way I do and frankly I look like a loser without the beard...Still, maybe there's an alternative to it? How do you think I'd look with mutton chops?! (awesome)

[Brawler RobMember]

Lolololol…. Hmmm…. I can't think of any kind of facial accessory that wouldn't be just as bad. I was think about how much I liked Master Ray's shades, but then I realized how creepy I'd look, lol.

[ObitoMember]

oh gawd….. NYC sounded fail….. kinda sucks that a BBer didn't win….then again i wasn't there, i bet there was some cool stuff in it..can someone tell me how the NYC entry thing worked? its a bit confusing for me.so could anyone come to the event??

[Darkus BrawlerMember]

When I was walking into Baku-Con I saw this guy in a beige coat talkin' at a camera. I went ahead and waved for the fun of it, turns out that guy was LD and he didn't know I was there or edit me out lol. Look between 1:05 and 1:22, I'm by the door.[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6S7DjgHArC4[/youtube]

[AdminKeymaster]

Overall I had a good time. I got to meet LordDarkus and check out all the other Bakugan attractions and crap but I feel the systems a little screwed up. I mean on Nationals I was in the black flight and I came in 4th but the person that came in 1st I didn't face. So I faced him un-officially with same teams and Baku-Con rules and I won 3-0 or 3-1 and he still came in 1st and I came in 4th. Think about that.Battle Mastress Donna actually heard about me from the Community and been keeping an eye on me since my return there and she was excited to have a big personality from The Community there. After shring some online stories with her she told me that they'd be having a couple more Toys R Us tournaments (not training camps tournaments), training camps (...shut up), and another Big Event in Fall.
