You may have noticed that there is a tournament on the day after this one (May 4th). While I would love for you to make both tournaments, if you can only make one, I HIGHLY SUGGEST you prioritize going to the Sunday, May 4th tournament if you can (Not This Current One!), as there will be more competitors, more finalists, and more prizes, and bigger prizes at that tournament than this one’s. (Scroll Down for the Saturday Prize Info!)
There will be 8 Finalists and Beyblade X Prizes for Top 4! Prize information coming soon!

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
- First Stage Matches are played to 7 points for this Tournament.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
