Official sites:
Hasbro http://www.hasbro.com/
TakaraTomy http://www.takaratomy.co.jp/
Sonokong http://eng.sonokong.co.kr/
Why cant i use fakes at the tournament?
Quote:-At ANY official tournament, illegitimate Beyblade's are NOT permitted simply because they donot come under the category of 'beyblades' as they are illegally manufactured by unlawful, counterfeit, criminal companies who steal ideas for the own selfish gain.
-Besides, their quality is HORRIBLE
-Only Beyblades licensed by TakaraTomy, Hasbro and Sonokong are legal and genuine.

How do i know my beyblades are genuine?
Quote:Before buying check for the TakaraTomy, Hasbro or Sonokong logo on the box
Why cant i use worn parts?
Quote:=> Worn parts are PROHIBITED as they do not perform the way they were originally created for.
=> For instance: if a WD performance tip is worn, it will perform aggressively like an attack type, whereas it was normally designed to be a stamina type tip in a fixed/stable position.
=> DO NOT bring WORN parts. If you are found using them your battles will be considered as a automatic loss.
Which stadiums can be used at this tournament?
Quote:Depending upon the format, these stadiums can be used. Click here and go to the 'BeyStadium Matrix' section.
Why cant we use Hasbro stadiums?
Quote:After thousands of hours of intensive testing by various pro-bladers around the globe, it was proven that Hasbro stadiums do not give all types of Beyblade a fair chance to win.
To give all types of beyblade a fair chance of winning in a competitive environment, Hasbro stadiums are STRICTLY PROHIBITED.

Can i customize MFB beyblades with HMS or HMS with plastics and so on? Can i use a MFB generation grip with a plastic generation launcher or vice versa and so on?
Quote:NOPE!!
Parts of one system CANNOT be used with a system they were NOT designed to be COMPATIBLE with, e.g. using HMS parts with Plastic parts, using an MFB Launcher with a Plastic Customize Grip.
