For more detailed information about the match types or rules in general, please see the WBO official rulebooks here on the WBO website. Here is a brief summary of the match types we'll be using:
 
 Group Stage: Swiss 3on3 First to 4 points 
Build up to 3 Beyblades to be in your deck! At the start of the match the judge will flip a coin to determine which side you'll play from. You will then select your beys and the initial order of all 3 Beyblades from left to right in secret, keeping them concealed from your opponent. You must have a deck box or some way to order your beys. You will then present your deck to the Judge for inspection, after receiving your deck back you may prepare for the 1st battle.  

Bladers will battle with the corresponding Beys in the order set to score points, and re-shuffle their deck if all 3 battles are completed before the match has completed. 
 
Bladers will not have the option of switching sides during the match. 

The first to score 4 points is the winner of the match!!!
 
 Finals Stage: Single Elimination 3on3 First to 4 Points
