Welcome to the New Year! We're keeping things fresh and building on the momentum from last month's Tournament! 



This will be a Swiss Format Best of 3 Sets using the 3 on 3 Match Type Tournament. Top 8 will go to a Single Elimination Playoff with the same rules. 
We will be doing a 5 Round Swiss format. During each match, bladers will have to win 2 out of 3 sets to be declared the winner of their Match. The first blader to 4 points wins the set. After each set, the bladers will switch stadium sides (or simply switching the stadium to the opposite side). The top 8 will go to a single elimination playoff.
This Tournament will be held in the standard Takara Tomy Xtreme Stadium.
We will be using the standard Beyblade X point guide:
·        A Spin Finish is 1 Point
·        A Burst Finish is 2 Points
·        An Over (Pocket Finish) is 2 Points
·        An Extreme Finish is 3 Points

3 on 3 Match Type Rules:
1.     Deck Sequencing
a.                 Each blader must then choose the initial order which they would like to play with their three Beyblades.
b.                 All three Beyblades must remain concealed from their opponent. This is typically done through the use of a deck box with three numbered slots, but other methods which accomplish the concealment of the Beyblades and their order are also acceptable.
c.                 Once a blader has constructed all three Beyblades, and completed sequencing them, they must announce that they are “set” and present their launchers and Beyblades to the judge for inspection.
2.     Perform Battles in Sequence
a.                 Players perform battles following the sequence of the Beyblades in their deck until one player scores 3 total points.
b.                 The Beyblades in the #1 slot will play each other, followed by #2 vs #2, and #3 vs. #3.
3.     Re-order Sequence
a.                 If neither blader has earned 3 Points after all three battles have been played between all three Beyblades in each deck, bladers will (optionally):
i.Re-order their entire deck in secret within 30 seconds
ii.Then repeat step number four ("Perform Battles in Sequence") as many times as is necessary using their three Beyblades until one blader has earned a total of 3 Points to determine the match winner.
4.     Draws
a.                 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.
b.                 If a judge calls a second consecutive draw by outspin, bladers must advance to the next Beyblade in their deck if possible or initiate the re-order sequence to start a new battle if the previous battle was between the third Beyblades in their decks.
5.     Battle Limit & Consecutive Draws
a.                 All matches have a battle limit of ten battles. 
b.                 If a tenth battle is played and:
i.One player has more points than the other:

• Player with more points wins the match.
  

ii.           The score is tied:

• The match continues as normal. The player who scores the next point wins the match.
  

6.     Top 8 Play a Single Elimination to Determine Winner
i.           The above rules apply for the Finals
ii.           Players now battle to 7 Points
