Should Sniping/Gattyaki be part of the game? – WBO Staff wants your feedback!

I don't care for it, seems like a great way to break your beys and hit people with them.

If it's part of the format and everyone agrees with it then maybe having a format with it could work.
Just curious, did we ever get an official ruling on this, or is it still being discussed?

For the most part this was addressed with these in the rulebooks:

“A battle is prompted with the call of “3–2–1 Go Shoot!” and begins when both Beyblades have made contact with the stadium floor at least once.”

“Bladers cannot shoot their Beyblade onto the opponent's Beyblade mid-air.”

Actually, best explained here:

I think that this sould be a part of the game legally because it allows for a hole new form of gameplay and stratagy where you have to decide when during the Go Shoot!/Let it Rip! you want to launch

Thanks for the input AlphaBladerX!

This topic has been addressed by the WBO through the implementation of Ranked Clauses earlier this summer. You can read about the announcement here. One of the clauses that may be enacted allows for the start of gameplay and the play area to be in line with "sniping"/"gattyaki" being a part of the game. 

You now have two options to play when organizing an event. One with and one without the above technique.
Seems like a good compromise all in all
