As for the bad launch loss, this can be prevented if you use the reshoot clause in time. There is a limit to it but it is useful.

Did you read the rule book?

If there is an issue shooting a Beyblade that is clearly caused by a technical issue (e.g. a Beyblade falls apart immediately after shooting, a Beyblade is launched weakly due to it "slipping" off the Launch), the Blader may invoke what is known as the Reshoot Clause. The Reshoot Clause must be invoked immediately after the Beyblade is released from the Launcher.

At this point, the Blader is free to examine both his Beyblade and Shooter and replace any parts as long as they are the exact same model of part. If there is a significant mold variation in the part, the replacement must be of the same mold. Color variations are negligible. Once the proper adjustments are made, the Blader is free to test it solo in the BeyStadium. The Blader may only invoke the Reshoot Clause once per Bey BeyBattle, and a maximum of twice during an event.

Hahaha.my bad. If you like we can test out this format for the tournament. Do you think this would be a good idea?

Also Bluezee, dont forget to add TB to the list.
Okay I will add it but im sure we will only be using MFB attack. It is more even for all beyblade types rather than using one giving survival beyblades the advantage over all of the others.

I'm sorry, I don't know if you usually do this, but...

By eliminating Defense and Stamina, aren't you completely desolating a good part of the strategy that goes into Beyblades? Stamina types aren't unbeatable, they shouldn't be banned just because they tend to win over Attack Types.

Just sayin'.

What are you talking about? All he's saying is that they're going to use the MFB Attack stadium, which is actually pretty well rounded whereas the other stadiums are crippling for attack types.
Couldn't have said it better myself Brad, thanks. I want the matches to be basically well rounded and even. There shouldn't be any large advantage for one type over others because then all bladers would tend to use the same type of beyblade and it would be boring and disadvantageous for bladers who only use a certain type of beyblade because they would get completely slaughtered. By choosing a stadium that is pretty much even for all types, everyone essentially has the same ability to win.

Ugh I'm just going to shut up now
Any of the maybes have any idea on weather they will be there or not yet?
I know that Ozzy should definitely be there. I'll check back with him. As for everyone else, Im not so sure since I havent gotten any messages yet. Maybe Pinoy has.
Great. This is going to be a really competitive tourney. I love living in the tri state area. Seems it has the biggest Beyblade scene in the US!

It's probably the biggest Beyblade scene in the world besides Japan! lol
lol there are a whole lot of people crammed into a small area here.

I think it's pretty intense, if you ask me.
We have the potential to get a lot more bladers in one tourney if we have it in a place even distance from New Yorkers and people in New Jersey and Connecticut. This is still a great outcome IMO because usually its hard enough getting 4 people to play sometimes. This will be competitive and fun thats for sure.
Yeah, this tournament seems to be getting bigger. How many people have confirmed that they're going? And how many maybe's?
Seems like 9 if I understand what everyones saying.
We have decided to use Maz format for the tournament. Also, the tournament battles will be fought in MFB Attack stadium. We would also like for everyone to get to the tournament at 1. So that we can warm up and then start the real tourney at 145. In the past we have always spent too much time blading before the tournament. we would like to save all the freebattles for bey points after the tournament. We feel by doing this we will have more time for the actual tournament battles.
Awesome. The first post should be changed to show this info.
Have you guys thought of printing the rule book for everyone at the tournament? I was just wondering, I would hate it if someone wasn't aware of the reshoot clause or something.

I think most people are already doing this.

Maz and Anubis how do you feel about having a team battle against bluezee's team?

Lol. Yeah, I did not know what else to call it. Anymore maybes to yes?
Everyone please get there early. It will be a really good time. Bring some cameras so we can take a lot of photos to show the WBO. I need to get my rank up.

So what is everyones predictions for the tournament? Since there is going to be a good amount of skilled bladers.
