Pockets are still a part of the stadium. I've actually won matches in official Hasbro tournaments by entering a pocket and on rebound, exiting pockets and consequently KOing an opponent. Hasbro judges will rule that as fine. Their instructions are, in short, "best of three, last one spinning wins"

if TT used pockets instead of exits on the TT attack, would it change anything? no, once a bey goes into a pocket or exit it is out. (even if the bey bounces out of the pocket it doesn't matter, it is out once it goes in it)

You have visibly not played with an Attack Type BeyStadium ... Pockets and real exits have a huge difference in performance.

i have played in a TT attack before

when a beyblade goes into a pocket it is considered a KO, if a bey goes into a exit it is considered a KO, not much of a difference in performance

if i where to cut the wall where my pockets are and my bey goes through it, it is the same as if i left the pocket wall alone and my bey goes into the pocket

hasbro judges do not know how to judge properly then . my way is, if it goes into the pocket it is KOed, if it rebounds back into the stadium it is still KOed

from the WBO rule book

• A Beyblade returns to the BeyStadium after being knocked out of play.
‣ Once a Beyblade is knocked out of play, the round ends. Once a Beyblade is
considered out of play, it cannot become "in-play" again.

I think Kai-V means not enough experience? You went to a tourney like 2 or once? You defitnitly need more exp on that.

here is a small example with exits:
if a bey gets hit out of a exit and onto the floor, and then it bounces back into the stadium it is still considered out

So what you're saying is Hasbro's rules are wrong for the product and metagame they have created?

You know that compacts were a viable style of play because of pockets, right?

from the WBO rule book

• A Beyblade returns to the BeyStadium after being knocked out of play.
‣ Once a Beyblade is knocked out of play, the round ends. Once a Beyblade is
considered out of play, it cannot become "in-play" again.

WBO =/= Hasbro
We don't even use their stadiums.

So what you're saying is Hasbro's rules are wrong for the product and metagame they have created?

well i play by WBO rules, and it says

• A Beyblade returns to the BeyStadium after being knocked out of play.
‣ Once a Beyblade is knocked out of play, the round ends. Once a Beyblade is
considered out of play, it cannot become "in-play" again.

and IIRC hasbro did not create beyblade, TT did

edit: well i do not have a TT stadium, yet i still go by WBO rules anyways because they are best

By the way, TAKARA-TOMY considers some stadiums' outer "pockets" as still in play if a Beyblade ever succeeds in getting in them ... The Balance Type BeyStadium's two outer 'wings' are still part of the legal stadium area, and on the Stamina Type BeyStadium, the three holes that can be used to store Beyblades temporarily are legal too.

agreed, but Hasbro has another way of playing beyblade. Its not compulsory, that if TT does something, Hasbro can not do something different.

You know that Metal Masters are already out in Australia =D
I don't know why they came out so early its just I have them =D
But whats unfortunate is that they haven't released Galaxy or Ray
All thats in the Metal Master Boosters are the normal Hasbro Legend series
Its got Hasbro sign and the WBBA holographic sticker on it so I guess its real.
It even comes with a working code.
The stickers, tool and instructions are exactly alike but the instructions are a bit smaller.

WBO rules also say Hasbro stadiums aren't allowed.

Hasbro recreates their line to accommodate a different style of play which tends to cater to a younger audience. Their stadium, their rules.

i am fully aware that WBO says no hasbro stadiums, but that does not mean that i cant play by WBO rules at all

well they seem to think that kids like stamina types to win every battle. their rules are really not that good

but what ever, i try to say something that could further help hasbro stadiums be better for play, yet it seems i can't even do that

dude, kids just don't know much about all this Stamina, Attack etc. Also, most kids use beys which are easily available, or the ones of their favorite character. I am 100% sure that you'll see a majority of Pegasus or Leone beys than you see those Eagle or L Drago

The Legend Series is not part of Metal Masters at all, and several countries have had those for months now. Do not create such false hopes ...

i think he meant metal master packaging with legend series in them

That is not possible though ...

for me the hasbro stadium may suck but it gets the job done it may leave the performance tip all messy but i have used it. now about the whole pocket thing i see it as a sumo ring step out of it you lose even if you rebound.

@Bakers Dozen:

Oh, I might remember that ... Perhaps Hasbro was so unable to meet the demand with the normal release of the Legend Series that they had to move on and get ahead with production, so that is what Australia finally has ...

I hope they will not release the Legend Series again in North America with that packaging, as we already have the other packaging.

1: That's where your wrong,only the bladers that's just like the show don't know them,Including the very young audience who just like anything that's on Tv.
Those who collect/play Beyblade know Exactly what Attack,Defense,And Stamina is.

2:Most kids collect all that come out. Even if they're bad.(Ex. Storm Capricorne)

3:The most popular Beyblade Metal Fusion(s) among kids are Pegasus,Leone,and L-Drago.
The Most popular Beyblade Metal Fight (For Those Who Know About Them) are..
BigBang Pegasis,Fang Leone,Hell Kerbecs,and Meteo L-Drago.
The "worst" Beyblade "Ever" among kids is Flame Byxis. Due to it's tall track.

(burn bull 230 WD)
(MF-H basalt bull/kerbecs 230 RS

It seems that at the mention of hasbro, bladers become like angry villagers with pitchforks.
