I was first approached by UnderlordAbel about the following site, and slowly I am getting more private messages about it :
https://beybladeuschampionships.com/
Apparently it only got linked to on BeybladeBattles.com, not on the Beyblade Facebook page or anything.
You can see that there are some tournaments planned in the United States this August, for eight- to twelve/thirteen-year-olds.
Here are some rules I wanted to highlight though :
Quote:Hasbro manufactured Electronic Tops, IR Spin Control Tops, Tornado Tops, and Electro Battler Tops are not allowed.
See, I told you all the second I saw those new XTS toys that they would be illegal, therefore completely useless.
Quote:Each BEYBLADE top must contain the following five (5) parts: Face Bolt, Energy Ring, Fusion Wheel, Spin Track and Performance Tip. All five (5) parts must be manufactured by Hasbro. Each BEYBLADE top used in a Round must utilize a different Fusion Wheel.
Do they actually check it now ...
Quote:Competitors cannot launch their BEYBLADE top from a standing, jumping or running position.
So you could slide on your knees towards the stadium ...
Quote:End of Battle
The Battle ends when one top stops spinning. If the Referee determines that both of the BEYBLADE tops stopped spinning at the same time the Referee will declare the Battle a tie.
So theoretically, if a Beyblade is knocked out but still spins, the battle does not end ...
Quote:WINNING 3. If a Competitor’s BEYBLADE top enters a side pocket in the BEYSTADIUM and continues to spin longer than the Opponent’s BEYBLADE top, he or she will be declared the winner.
I thought a lot of the Hasbro players here were sure that this consisted as a knock out and that this person lost the battle ?
At least they seem to have dropped the system of points, where a knock out is worth a certain amount of points, etc. and whoever reached three or something won the match.
I think I am going to ask for the winners list if it ever becomes available.
