Match Types: 1on1 & 5G
First Stage – 1on1 Match Type
The first stage of this tournament will be played using the
WBO 1on1 Match Type
Final Stage – 5G Match Type
The top four or eight players from the first stage will advance to a single elimination final using the 5G Match Type rules:
1. Matches are to 5 points- Outspin = 1 Point
- Knock Out = 1 Point
- Burst = 2 Points
2. Deck Construction: 5 Beyblades- Each player constructs a deck consisting of 5 Beyblades within 3 minutes.
- No parts may be repeated throughout each combination. See the "Multiple Beyblade Tournament Type Advanced Rulings" section in the WBO Burst Limited Format rulebook for the full details on part repetition.
- Up to one Layer with multiple spin direction capabilities may be included in the deck (ex. Spriggan Requiem). Spin direction changes for Layers with multiple spin direction capabilities are permitted. If both players want to change spin directions at the same time, the change must be made in secret.
3. Deck Sequencing & Inspection- Each combination will be placed into one of the five numbered slots across 1-2 deck boxes, or some other concealment and ordering method.
- We will have some deck boxes available to borrow at the event, but please bring your own if you have one.
- The judge will then inspect both decks to ensure they are legal.
4. Perform Battles in Sequence- Players perform battles following the sequence of the Beyblades in their deck box until one player scores 5 total points. This means that the Beyblades in the #1 slot will play each other, followed by #2 vs #2, and #3 vs. #3, and so forth.
5. Draws- If there is a draw in any battle, the battle will be replayed using the same two Beyblades. This may continue for up to two consecutive battles.
After the second consecutive draw, reference the "Consecutive Draws" ruling in the Gameplay Appendix of the WBO Burst Format Rulebook.
- If a tenth total battle is played and a match winner has not yet been determined, reference the "Battle Limit" ruling in the Gameplay Appendix of the WBO Burst Format Rulebook. The same rule used for 3on3 will be applied for 5G.
Note: All other existing WBO Burst Limited Format rules unrelated to the match ruleset outlined above will apply for this event.
Tournament Bracket on Challonge
As always, during the tournament while we cannot give you a set time for when your next match will take place, you are welcome to follow along with the tournament bracket on Challonge. Challonge is the management tool we use to run the event.
Have a BeyStadium or Deck Box? Bring it!
We will be bringing stadiums and some deck boxes for this event, but more are always welcome!
Any BeyStadium is fine for free play, but
Burst BeyStadium Standard Types (pictured below) are particularly appreciated. If you can bring one, please post here to let us know.
Deck Boxes or any container enabling concealment and ordering of 3-5 Beyblades are also welcome, as they will be integral for the 5G Match Type in use at this event.
