We now know that the tournament will definitely go ahead. We have two possible venues at the moment: The Excel and JapanEx

The time of day and the specific date are still to be decided, but for any suggestions towards running the tourney, or if you want to apply to be a judge, say so here.

There will be a plastics division and a Metal division. The winners will get prizes (but we do not know what the prizes will be as of yet). Also, there will be a free-play section as well, for those who want to test combos or simply blade for the sake of it.

Feel free to suggest any ideas.

The Excel is where JapanEx is held at XD!!!

Sorry, wasn't thinking. I edited, but what I'm saying is that it might not be at the anime con. It most likely will be, but you never know

If you decide to definitely hold it at the JapanEx, I think you should e-mail them and ask if they could put something up on the website about the tournament. could attract more people then.

I like your thinking.
Generally if you ask, they'd probably be able to advertise it

does any one know all the partisipants of spinoff so far? and will the free play be before the tornament or after and how will the tornament be set like count who has the most wins after battleing each other or... sudden ilmantion(witch sucks IMO)

I think best 2 out of 3 is probably the easiest way to go for it. At the end of the day, it's how almost every gaming tournament is run.
Or you can follow the points system. If I'm remembering the old Hasbro Rulings, It's first to 7 points with the system going like this:
Knock out/Pocketed - 2 Points
Outspin - 1 Point

Up to you guys how you would like to do it, however with a lot of people, the points system would take a while and then we probably wouldn't have time to do both divisions.

erm 2 out of 3 is pretty bad cause the tornaments will only be like 20 mins long and if i won under thoose cercomstances i whould fell like i won with any pride =/

It would be nice to make a day of the tournament instead of just having it go on for a hour or so.
And the point system sounds interesting, But i guess its up to who ever is organising it.

Don't forget that we're still bound to get a lot more people interested before the day. I'm personally not really up for the point system, kind of stupid imo and like Gekiryu said, would take too long.
I'm thinking about someday in June or July for the tournament date, how about you guys?

Edit: C'mon people, we still need volunteer judges!

If it's JapanEx, you will need the exact date, which is late July. It get's announced like, in a few months after October Expo.

Also, Would anyone consider bringing in a Restricted format?
Since Everyone using a Wolborg MS, if we lack Tornado ridges, would just be bland and boring.
Obviously the rules of No hidden spirits (EG, Griffolyon, salamalyon etc), no RC beyblades, Tuned Bearings ban and stuff like that.
I'd consider putting a restriction/Ban on certain parts too, maybe bearings, Samurai Upper etc..

Great! Works pretty well then.

Also, we're working on a Restricted format now.
We're also probably going to need some second opinions on it too

Kai12, there are tournaments in North America coming up as well, so you'd probably have better luck with one of those.

They will be listed as more information becomes available.

Tuned bearings are illegal, and there will be no cookie cutters allowed. The restricted list is a work-in-progress.

Takara's point system (and the one Beywiki sanctions) is 1 point per outspin, 2 points per KO, first to 3 points wins.

Hmm, I think I read somewhere on beywiki that you win 3 points if you break a blade. Does this mean that you can win in the first round? And if we're playing by Takara rules, the weight limit should be 42g, right?

There's no official weight limit for MFB yet, and it's impossible to build an HMS over the limit. Don't know about plastics.

Breaking a Beyblade is an instant win.

Okay. The plastic limit (according to that little piece of paper that comes inside Takara boxes) is 42g, so we'll use that I guess. I have to discuss with TheGigsMeister though.

man it be soo cool being in a tourneyment if i can go to one in the usa i will not be a easy oppenet

People. Would you like to follow IBA rules, or follow some and maybe make a few changes to how we all see fit?

Obviously the tuned bearings, illegal mods, RC beyblades, Hidden Spirits etc will be banned, along with NSK sheild bearings x 2 in Magical Ape.

and should we have them put somewhere in the Tournie?
Like if we can get print outs we might be able to put them on the wall near the battle zone, so that people on the day can do a double check of rulings before playing?

Also, if we're going to Advertise on the JapanEx Site, we will need a Flier.
If you want, I can design that since I'm quite able with photoshop.
We should also link back to Beywiki on it, so that we can both get new members and they can discuss it beforehand with us

Also, Anyone got any small weighing scales? We'd need them for weights of blades.

i hope i can go to one in the us cuz im tired of faceing same oppenints that i know there skill and i relly need to battle against new ppl
