I said forget I said that I’m tired and it’s my birthday didn’t really fact check my self 🙃

Sorry that sounds rude I mean that in a nice way
Are string launchers permitted because I own one and I feel more comfortable using it then the hasbro ones it’s from Tamara tomy it has the Ability to go left and right
Just curious if we paint our Beyblade with a marker will we be allowed to use it? There's mixed answers when I ask people. For example if you take a silver Beyblade and just color it blue with a marker and not paint

As long as it's a beyblade x string launcher you can use it regardless if it is hasbro or takara tomy.

I echo what Serphus said! As long as it is an official product by TT or Hasbro, it’s good to use. The only things not usable in this tournament are the bit Metal Needle (and like, the sonic meal toys lol)
When is the. Next tournament in Virginia

I can’t attend this one because I have to buy new beys and I wanna get sonic x shadow generations

And with my allowance from my parents I can only get 1

Here is the relevant section from the X-Format rulebook:
  • Unofficial Paint/Clear-coating on Blades: Painting or clear-coating your Blades for aesthetic reasons is permitted. The coat must be light, non-textured and not affect the Beyblade’s performance. A coat also cannot be added in places where the Blade connects to other parts of the Beyblade (Ratchet, etc.). If the Judge determines your Blade does not meet these standards, you will be obligated to switch out the Blade for another version of the same Blade. If you cannot, you will be given a Match loss.
  • Unofficial/Homemade Stickers on Blades: Decorating your Blades with unofficial/homemade stickers is permitted. These stickers must not affect the Beyblade’s performance and must adhere to a Blade’s legal sticker positioning. (Blades with no specific positioning instructions may have a sticker placed on top of the clear piece of plastic that protects the Gear Chip.) Any imagery or verbiage on these stickers must adhere to the WBO’s Event Code of Conduct. If the Judge determines your Blade does not meet these standards, you will be obligated to switch out the Blade for another version of the same Blade. If you cannot, you will be given a Match loss.
  • Marking Parts: Parts may be marked in order to differentiate parts from your opponent’s in the event of a double Burst Finish, or to maintain the orientation of your combination’s parts should it burst and need to be re-assembled. You may apply minor markings (single lines or dots) to them with a pen or marker in the following places:

    • On a Blade: Anywhere besides the Blade’s contact points, or where the Ratchet makes contact with the Blade’s underside.
    • On a Ratchet: Anywhere on the Ratchet Base (the bottom part of the Ratchet) besides where the Bit makes contact with it.
    • On a Bit: The top surface and inside of the Bit’s Shaft.


Marking parts in this manner is permitted, but you may not draw on your parts for aesthetic purposes.
  • Painting or Decorating Launchers/Grips/Accessories: Launchers, Grips, and Accessories may be painted or decorated for aesthetic purposes only. Any paint or decoration added must not affect the performance or originally intended functions or gimmicks of the part and should not obstruct your opponent’s ability to launch properly in any way. If a judge determines your launcher, grip, or accessory has been modified to the point of illegality due to such modifications, they may tell you to switch to another version of that same part.

Here is the optional ranked clause:

Unfortunately it is just the event tickets! My pockets are not SO deep lol. We went to Florida for BWC last year and that was such a blast, just hoping to bring some more bladers together for more cross-state events like that! 

I hope that the winners can make it down to Houston to face off in the Friday, January 10th, 2025 invitationals against the Texas Circuit bladers, and those who don't win can still get tickets for the rest of the weekends event, check it out here: Beyblade South details

Good luck everyone!

It would have been mine too but since I’m trying to by sonic x shadow generations I can’t come because it’s the same amount of money to buy new beys
