From seemingly out of nowhere, the third generation of Beyblade has burst onto the scene! Bladers of NYC, this is your chance to test your mettle, try out Beyblades from the exciting, explosive new series that is Beyblade Burst, build the best Beyblade you can, and receive one for yourself to take home!


"What's Beyblade Burst?"
Beyblade Burst is the brand new, third generation of Beyblade by TAKARA-TOMY! The Beyblades in this series feature a new "Burst Gimmick," in which they explode in battle! Only the strongest Bey will stay intact while the other separates!

Beyblade Burst only launched this past July in Japan, so it's still fairly new and exclusive. If you're not familiar with the new series, then please take a minute to look at the Beyblade Burst - Bey News Forum Thread.

7 Lucky Participants will get a new Beyblade to take home!
And listen, we're not asking for these products back, no way! They're really gifts to the community! Unlike at previous Beyblade Bursts Onto The Scene events, everyone who attends this event will have the chance to borrow, build, and win a free Beyblade Burst item! The Bladers who place 1st-3rd will receive the following:
  • First Place: First pick at the 7 stock Beyblades provided to the host + B-02 BeyLogger + Light Launcher
  • Second Place: Second pick at the stock Beyblades + Light Launcher
  • Third Place: Third pick at the stock Beyblades + Light Launcher
The remaining 4 stock Beyblades will be raffled off among everyone else at the end of the tournament. That means everyone, regardless of wherever they may be travelling from, will have an equal chance at getting a new Beyblade at this event!!

To best keep track of the provided Beyblade Burst items throughout this event, all borrowed parts must be returned to a judge immediately following the completion of every BeyBattle. This way, anyone who may be about to play an official match will always have access to any and all of the parts in the pool, and we will always be able to guarantee nobody accidentally walks away with any of them!

Mandatory $5 Entry Fee = More Beyblade Burst Events + Extra Credits!
To help subsidize the high cost of importing some of the new Beyblade Burst items from Japan, a mandatory $5 entry fee will be imposed on all Beyblade Bursts Onto The Scene events, regardless of whether or not a participant has a Blader Passport (if you wish to purchase a Blader Passport, the total cost would be $15 at a Beyblade Bursts Onto The Scene event), and there will be no prize reimbursement. We hope that everyone will understand this! The more funds we have, the more we can afford to do for the community in the future! We're actually going to be losing money despite this entry fee, and for those that receive a Beyblade, it will be much cheaper to get one that way than it would be to import one yourself (although we certainly hope you all do this after playing with them!). However, to show our appreciation for your cooperation and support in helping to fund the event, all participants in Beyblade Bursts Onto the Scene tournaments will receive the following:
  • +1 Extra Credit to be used for prizes from our awesome Blader Rewards, on top of whatever they would have normally earned.
  • New Passport Holders will earn +2 Extra Credits, rather than just +1.

"But what about my BeyPoints? I've never played Beyblade Burst!"
No problem! The first Beyblade Event in every region will not count towards the BeyPoint System. Think of it as an opportunity to experiment and just focus on having fun with the new series.

Of course, as always, there will be Faces and Credits to play for. Wink

Just realised; this is unranked haha

But yes, you still do need an account for it to be processed. Smile
So this event is scored like normal right? Or is it the new burst scoring system that they use in Japan? With 2 points given for a burst, etc. I didn't see anything in the official WBO rulebook specifically stating either way so I assume it's just normal scoring?
Coming
Added Khel and The Savior to the attendee list.

It'd be awesome if you could make it Khel!
I'm so excited for this event
Tell me about it. It will be my first event ever! I love burst and it will be even my first time playing against good opponents. You guys will get to check out Wyvern and Trident too. I will get them before the event, maybe even Amaterios

Appears to be a bug — all the tournaments on the map are scheduled a day earlier than they actually are. Weird. We'll look into it.
