IMPORTANT: Lord Base Spin Direction Switching Restrictions

While our Burst System rulings permit one mode change via disassembly per match for Burst Layers, we feel that the ability to do this with Lord has a high potential of upsetting the balance of the metagame. As such, we've decided to bring it in line with our previous ruling on Spriggan/Spryzen Requiem and Cho-Z Spriggan/Turbo Spryzen S4.

Players must select the mode of Lord - if applicable - during the Beyblade Selection phase, before showing it to the judge for inspection.
