If you're coming to High Park via the Bloor St W entrance, just follow that road down on the right side and you'll see the large building/shelter on the left hand side before you reach the tennis courts. We will be playing in the area on the grass in front of it. If you have any questions about the location, please post here!
NOTE: Public washrooms can be found just west of the Bloor St W entrance of High Park. There are no public washrooms available at the High Park Nature Centre. Do not knock on their door asking to enter.
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 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 = 2 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 GT 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. Lord Spriggan). 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. 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.
- The match winner is the player who scores 5 total points first or the player with more points after all five Beyblades have been used by each player.
- If the score is tied after all five Beyblades have been used by each player, see the second bullet under "Draws" below.
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, players must advance to the next Beyblade in their deck.
- If all five Beyblades have been used by both players and a match winner has not yet been determined, both players may optionally re-order their entire deck in secret within 30 seconds. Then, repeat step number four ("Perform Battles in Sequence") as many times as is necessary using their five Beyblades until one player has earned a point. The player who earned the next point will be declared the match winner.

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.
