To Be Determined, but they will be quite substantial. I will post prize updates as a comment to this tournament post so keep an eye on it if you are interested.

St. Paul’s Christian Church
3331 Blue Ridge Road
Raleigh, NC 27612



Items to Bring:
Mandatory:
3 official Beyblade X Beys
At least 1 official Beyblade X launcher
Optional:
A stadium to practice/free play in


Admission Fee: The admission fee is $10 in order to help me cover the venue fee and continue to host (a bit of an increase from last time, but trust me it will be worth it). If you are attending two tournaments in the same day you only have to pay for one. I want these tournaments to be as accessible as possible, so if you are not able to pay the admission fee let me know and we can waive it. The goal of the fee is to help me cover costs, NOT to bar people who want to participate from doing so due to finances.


Tournament Info:
This event is part of our seasonal rankings. More information on this can be found here: https://worldbeyblade.org/Thread-WV-Caro...ings-Guide
This tournament will be played in the 3 on 3 format. In this format players will bring 3 Beys to the stadium and order them secretly. Once both players have ordered their beys they will battle in that order. First to reach 4 points wins the set. If 4 points is not achieved by either player after the first 3 battles, both players will reorder their beys and continue. First to 2 set wins takes the match.


Ranked Clause: 
- Out of bounds ruled as over finish
- Metal Needle Ban (plz my stadiums will die)
