Well, it's not exactly specified as "upside-down" - the rule applies when the Beyblade ends up on its Face (literally, the Face piece) at the end of the match. So if the Face never touched the Stadium floor, the rule wouldn't apply, so I don't think that would cause any problems.
Good to know you've never seen it either - thought I might've been missing something obvious.
But there's another thing - what if one blader claims that his opponent's top
began to tumble earlier on in the match, but was
righted by interference from
his Beyblade? There's no way to prove whether or not the Beyblade in question would've ended up on its face had the second Beyblade not been there to interfere, but if the act of
beginning to tumble is what really disqualifies the Beyblade, then it is very possible that the blader claiming victory actually won.
Quote:Even so, if the match doesn't end in a tie, but the winning combination topples soon after the battle has ended, wouldn't it technically have been "beggining to tumble" earlier in the match, thus affording the opposing Beyblade the win, even though said Beyblade stopped spinning first?
I would still like a response to this; mostly to clarify whether or not the match has to end in a tie for the rule to apply, since that isn't specified in the rulebook (unless I just missed it reading, but I'm pretty sure it isn't in there).
