From seemingly out of nowhere, the third generation of Beyblade has burst onto the scene! Bladers of NYC, this is your chance to test your mettle, try out Beyblades from the exciting, explosive new series that is Beyblade Burst, build the best Beyblade you can, and receive one for yourself to take home!


"What's Beyblade Burst?"
Beyblade Burst is the brand new, third generation of Beyblade by TAKARA-TOMY! The Beyblades in this series feature a new "Burst Gimmick," in which they explode in battle! Only the strongest Bey will stay intact while the other separates!

Beyblade Burst only launched this past July in Japan, so it's still fairly new and exclusive. If you're not familiar with the new series, then please take a minute to look at the Beyblade Burst - Bey News Forum Thread.

7 Lucky Participants will get a new Beyblade to take home!
And listen, we're not asking for these products back, no way! They're really gifts to the community! Unlike at previous Beyblade Bursts Onto The Scene events, everyone who attends this event will have the chance to borrow, build, and win a free Beyblade Burst item! The Bladers who place 1st-3rd will receive the following:
  • First Place: First pick at the 7 stock Beyblades provided to the host + B-02 BeyLogger + Light Launcher
  • Second Place: Second pick at the stock Beyblades + Light Launcher
  • Third Place: Third pick at the stock Beyblades + Light Launcher
The remaining 4 stock Beyblades will be raffled off among everyone else at the end of the tournament. That means everyone, regardless of wherever they may be travelling from, will have an equal chance at getting a new Beyblade at this event!!

To best keep track of the provided Beyblade Burst items throughout this event, all borrowed parts must be returned to a judge immediately following the completion of every BeyBattle. This way, anyone who may be about to play an official match will always have access to any and all of the parts in the pool, and we will always be able to guarantee nobody accidentally walks away with any of them!

Mandatory $5 Entry Fee = More Beyblade Burst Events + Extra Credits!
To help subsidize the high cost of importing some of the new Beyblade Burst items from Japan, a mandatory $5 entry fee will be imposed on all Beyblade Bursts Onto The Scene events, regardless of whether or not a participant has a Blader Passport (if you wish to purchase a Blader Passport, the total cost would be $15 at a Beyblade Bursts Onto The Scene event), and there will be no prize reimbursement. We hope that everyone will understand this! The more funds we have, the more we can afford to do for the community in the future! We're actually going to be losing money despite this entry fee, and for those that receive a Beyblade, it will be much cheaper to get one that way than it would be to import one yourself (although we certainly hope you all do this after playing with them!). However, to show our appreciation for your cooperation and support in helping to fund the event, all participants in Beyblade Bursts Onto the Scene tournaments will receive the following:
  • +1 Extra Credit to be used for prizes from our awesome Blader Rewards, on top of whatever they would have normally earned.
  • New Passport Holders will earn +2 Extra Credits, rather than just +1.

"But what about my BeyPoints? I've never played Beyblade Burst!"
No problem! The first Beyblade Event in every region will not count towards the BeyPoint System. Think of it as an opportunity to experiment and just focus on having fun with the new series.

Of course, as always, there will be Faces and Credits to play for. Wink

Don't forget to spread the word guys!
DECEPTICON may be able to attend this one after all! Highly likely!
Good luck with this, Cye! Hope you guys have fun with Beyblade Burst. Smile

Take some photos if you can so we can post them on our Facebook! Or if anyone wants to take video to put together for a BeyChannel video, that would be even better.
Good luck and hope New York begins to host frequently again!
DECIPTICON has been added the the possible list!

Thanks for the good luck wishes guys. Hopefully everyone falls in love with the Burst format.
Awesome to see this happening! Good luck to everyone.
In fact, I will be honest, but I'll drop out of mfb in favor for burst, honestly. I really am tilapia at MFB Uncertain
I'm so down for this
So jealous, I wanna come sooooo bad. Don't even put me down for a possible because I doubt I can get off work, but I am going to try.
Edit: Actually, I just called my boss and I got it off!!!!! Count me in!!!! So pumped!!!!
I guess put me as a possible because it is a 5 hour drive for me, but I totally plan on coming and should be fully able.
What is the exact address so I can map it out?
I'll bring a Burst stadium too if needed. Thankfully it's after my September releases arrive so I will have a legal Beylauncher.
Ya'll better be on point cuz Zoroaste is coming to town!!!! Finally I can get some Beypoints!!!! Never even been to NYC before. Lol. Gonna be so fun!!
GODJESUS has been added to the confirmed list!
Zoroaste has been added to the possible list!

Central Park doesn't really have an address. It's too big.
Here is an address to a mall that is very close to the entrance of the park:
10 Columbus Cir, New York, NY 10019
Sweet. Thanks man. So excited to finally play a tourney and meet some of you guys. Thank you very much for hosting!!! You are the man!! Just don't get creeped out when a 30 year old dude comes up and asks about the Beyblade tourney. Haha

Nobody will be getting points this tournament. If I do go I will be looking forward to meeting you!

Are you selling any burst things I only have 2 burst beys lol?
O darn. I was hoping to finally get points. O well. It will be super fun anyway. Definitely looking forward to meeting you too. I dunno. I may have some stuff for sale depending on how my random booster draws go. Might not have a whole lot of top tier parts that I want to get rid of though. Although I guess if you were to pay me the cost to replace it then I could part with whatever I have extra
So what time is everyone getting there? I'm also questioning whether I should bring my beys or not. Is anyone that is going to be in attendance going to have Burst for sale?
I will probably try to get there early, like maybe 10, so I can find it ok and practice a bit. I may have a little bit of stuff for sale. But not much. I will however sell you as many Ragnaruks, Wings and Fusions as you would like though. Haha. I guess if you are one of the first 7 though, you get a bey to use. Or actually i guess everybody shares the parts so everybody can have something to use. Good idea. I will not be taking any beys or prizes for winning or anything. I would rather others have a better chance at them
I know a couple of Bladers who are over thirty, hah.
I might have family visiting that weekend, so it's no guarantee. However if not I'll absolutely try and swing by.
I got a question though. I printed out flyers of the event and passed them out at school but do they need an account to actually participate and will there be free play with 2nd gen and 3rd gen? I passed out 4 flyers so far.

Yes, your friends or any participants of the tournament will need accounts so BeyPoints can be processed.

EDIT: BeyPoints aren't in this event, but accounts are still mandatory
Minus the beypoints though I mean to actually just play in the tournament.
