Stadium Used:

Please be advised that this tournament will make use of the following Ranked Clauses 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.
Out-of-Bounds ruled as Over Finish
  • Any Beyblade that goes out-of-bounds in this Tournament will be considered knocked-out instead. If a Beyblade is knocked-out in this manner, it will count as an Over 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.


There will be Prizes for Top 3! (One of the 3 Prizes is Guaranteed to be Golem Rock!)

Just wanted to let you know that this tournament is becoming Texas Circuit and WBO Ranked with Swiss 3on3 Ft5 BO3 and Top 8 Single Elim 3on3 Ft7!
Just wanted to remind y’all that this is the location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/wD4xDsNGXzLFYYZJ...eview.copy

Also whether you are being dropped off or entering after parking I recommend you enter the school through this entrance (Cambridge Street): https://maps.app.goo.gl/61h8pJddVvDhVNhN...eview.copy

This is because the entrance to the school over here will be closed tomorrow (Alumni Drive): https://maps.app.goo.gl/h4DEXiaP8KeupwE7...eview.copy

Also I wanted to let y’all know about prizes. As you might have seen on this tournament site, this tournament is sponsored by Beys and Bricks. There will actually be 4 options for the top 3 prizes.

Unfortunately due to shipping being slow (even though I preordered oof) my Golem Rock prize won’t be arriving until the Monday after the tournament.

Therefore the options for the prizes (for top 3, so only 3 prizes will be given) will be

1) $30 Beys and Bricks Gift Card
2) $20 Beys and Bricks Gift Card
3) $20 Beys and Bricks Gift Card
4) Golem Rock (to be picked up sometime after the tournament or given the next time I see the person)

As per usual 1st place gets 1st pick and so on.
