You may have noticed that there is a tournament on the day before this one (May 3rd). While I would love for you to make both tournaments, if you can only make one, I HIGHLY SUGGEST you prioritize THIS tournament, as there will be more competitors, more finalists, and more prizes, and bigger prizes than the Saturday May 3rd Tournament. (Scroll Down for the Sunday Prize Info!)


There will be 16 Finalists and Beyblade X Prizes for Top 8! Prize Information Coming Soon!


Contact (Call or Text) Laban Vanot through his phone number (765-434-2148) if you have questions/concerns about the tournament location and/or parking, or if you are running late to the tournament!


Feel free to join the Texas Circuit Official Beyblade Discord Server to check out your ranking, learn of future tournaments, and interact with fellow Texas bladers! (https://discord.gg/wSfwfS5dAy)

Pre-Registration: As this event has a participant cap, you are highly encouraged to register online ahead of time. This requires a WBO account, which you can find more information about below.


Account Registration Guide: 

Account Registration Guide:


As the tournament will start promptly at 1:00 PM, please plan to arrive by 12:30 PM. Registration will close at 12:55 PM. Confirming your attendance on the WBO event page does not substitute for registration at the venue, and latecomers cannot be added after the tournament begins. We expect the tournament to last a max of 4.5 hours


Event Cap of 128 due to venue size 


(The current cap is 128 for this tournament, and it has been extended to a max of 128  (There is enough space). I would like to request that if the cap is indeed raised from 80 to 128, the tournament may still be ranked and that we continue with the 7-round Swiss to determine a Top 32)


Time: The tournament starts promptly at 1:00 PM. We will be open at 11:20 AM; come early to practice combos! (ARRIVE EARLY IF YOU CAN, as the parking is a walk from the tournament location!)

This college dorm common area is right behind the PCF tents (less than a minute walk away). In order to access the inside of the common area, you will need Laban Vanot’s key card, so whenever you need to use the restroom, refill your water bottle, or drink from the water fountain during the tournament, reach out to Laban Vanot.



Food Options: There aren’t too many food options, but there is one restaurant (called Local Foods Market) a short walk away (4 Minutes) from the tournament room at the Brochstein Pavilion. It closes at 5 PM.

- For 3on3 you will tell/show your judge the order of your beys in secret. 
-Before the battle starts, you will lay out your beys in the order you told/showed your judge on the table by the stadium.


Stadium Used:
-We will only be using the BX-10 Takara Tomy Stadium for this tournament.
-Please bring a Takara Tomy Stadium if you have one! The more stadiums we have the faster the tournament will go, and there will be more stadiums for free-play!

- 1 Point for spinout
- 2 Points for knockouts (over finish)
- 1 Point for out-of-bounds
- 2 Points for bursts
- 3 points for an Xtreme knockout


Please be advised that this tournament will make use of the following Optional Rules 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
5 Point First Stage
  • First Stage Matches are played to 5 points for this Tournament.
Own Finish
  • When you score an Xtreme finish or over finish against a Bey that did not touch your Bey during the battle, it is considered an own finish instead.
  • When you score an own finish, you receive 1 point. Then, the battle is replayed.
  • This optional rule will be applied to both stages of this tournament.
Out-of-Bounds ruled as Spin Finish
  • If the opposing Bey leaves the battle area through the launch area and becomes out-of-play, instead of voiding the battle, it will be considered as scoring a spin finish.
Alternative Launching Rule: Loser Picks Side 
  • 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. 
  • Immediately after each battle of a Match, the loser of that battle may choose to have the judge rotate the Stadium 180 degrees to swap sides for the next battle.
