MATCH TYPES: 3on3
First Stage AND Final Stage – 3on3 Match Type

LEGAL BEYBLADES (BEYBLADE X FORMAT)
This is a BEYBLADE X Format event. Please refer to the rulebook link below to review the game play rules for the event:
 
Read Beyblade X Format Rulebook

Please be advised that this tournament will make use of the following Ranked Clauses in addition to, or in place of, rules listed in the Format Rulebook:

Banlist Variation: Metal Needle Bit Ban
  • The following Bit may not be used in this tournament: Metal Needle
First Stage Points:
  • First Stage Matches are played to 5 points for this Tournament.
Alternative Launching Rule: Continuous Side Switching
  • Bladers will be stationed across from each other on the Left and Right sides of the BeyStadium. Which side each Blader assumes must be decided by fair means (ex. Judge’s coin flip/dice roll, or rock-paper-scissors), with the winner getting to pick their starting side. This orientation is inverted after each subsequent Battle.
After a few inquiries, please see below some clarifications on how rules will be managed at this event:
  • This will be a regular 3on3 Match Type event, no Bo3.
  • 3-2-1 Go Shoot, launching on Shoot. If there is a noticeable early or late launch, the judge may call a relaunch. Obvious mid-air hits before the beyblades hit the arena floor may be called for relaunch. 
  • Do not touch the beystadium or beyblades until the judge calls the match. 
  • Once a blader selects their beyblades and launchers and presents them to the judge, no changes can be made.
  • Out of Bounds finish (out the top of the stadium or through the shroud in an area that is not a pocket) will be a relaunch of same beys.
  • If a launcher malfunctions/jams/is noticeably underpowered, a relaunch can be called. This must be called quickly. Judges may deny the request if they feel it is invalid.
  • If a Beyblade is launched directly into a pocket, or lands on the shroud, instead of the Launch Area, one relaunch is permitted. Subsequent same launches will be considered an Own Finish, with 1 point awarded to the opponent, and then replay the same beys. 
  • Judges are encouraged to call contact when it occurs. No-contact spinouts, bursts, knockouts and extremes will be considered an Own Finish, with 1 point awarded to the opponent, and then replay the same beys. 
  • Ratchet color-swapping is permitted, as long as it is an identical substitute. 
  • Painted parts are permitted in accordance with WBO standard: the coat must be light, non-textured, and not affect the Beyblade's performance. Paint cannot be added in places where the blade connects to other parts. 
  • If a knockout and a burst happen at the same time, the knocked out beyblade is the winner.
  • If a knockout and an Xtreme occur at the same time, it is a draw and you move on to the next beyblades. 
If you disagree with a judges opinion, you may escalate to Brynessa or ZestyPhresh. If you still disagree, you may follow WBO's process for submission within 7 days of the tournament.
