Burst Format Updates

IMPORTANT Burst Format: Parts With Multiple Modes – Initial Mode Selection Clarifications
When using a part with multiple modes which requires disassembly to change (such as Legend Spriggan), the mode cannot be changed after it is presented to the judge during the Beyblade Selection phase until the first round of the match has been played.

In the case of Layers such as Cho-Z Spriggan and Spriggan Requiem/Spryzen Requiem:

Players must select the mode of Spriggan Requiem or Spryzen Requiem during the Beyblade Selection phase before showing it to the judge for inspection. After submitting their combination for inspection, they may not change the mode for the duration of the match.

Players must select the mode of Cho-Z Spriggan during the Beyblade Selection phase before showing it to the judge for inspection. After submitting their combination for inspection, they may not change the mode for the duration of the match.

Burst Format: Gatinko Layer Rulings
We have added in several clarifications to cover rulings related to the brand new Gatinko Layer System:

Swapping Gatinko Layer Components is Not Considered a “Mode Change”

Gatinko Layer combinations are considered to be separate parts. Regular mode changing rules (see Gameplay Appendix) for Layers that require disassembly and have mode changes (like Alter Chronos or Legend Spriggan) do not apply to Gatinko Layers because the different configurations are considered as separate Layers and not “modes”. Therefore, you cannot switch your configuration of a Gatinko Layer during a first stage or final stage match.

Final Stage – Deck Format

If using Gatinko Layers, no components (Base, Weight, Gatinko Chip) may be repeated across different combinations.

Burst Format: Deck Format – Drivers and SlingShock Counterparts Cannot Be Repeated
We have clarified that including both the regular version of a Driver (whether it be Hasbro or TAKARA-TOMY) and the Hasbro Slingshock version is not permitted while constructing your Deck. They are considered to be the “same” part, and therefore cannot be repeated.

All SlingShock Drivers (such as Eternal-S, Jolt-S, Accel-S) and their regular counterparts (such as Eternal, Jolt, and Accel) cannot both be included within your Deck during a Deck Format match at the same time. For example, if you have a combination with Eternal-S in your Deck, you cannot also use Eternal.

New Experimental Format: Burst Classic Testing Continues!
The experimental Burst Classic Format discussion has been ongoing over the past few months now and we’ve had a few test events since then trying it out.

The format is still very much in the experimental stage, so we encourage more Organizers to try it out for their events and for all members to provide their feedback and testing to help us perfect it!

THANK YOU for that clarification of swapping layer components not being a mode change... I don't know why people were labeling it as sort of mode changing when it clearly isn't and that annoyed me greatly...

I think it was because of that leak that said Ace Dragon can change to Defense and Stamina mode. But now that GT has been released, it should be clear that the Gran and Rock Bases were released with Ace Dragon to expand the amount of combinations that can be made in wave one.

Ok, I see the lS nerf there. That's probably the best solution tbh.

Nice clarification about the new layer system

It's actually always been the case that you can't swap modes until after the first round, but there's been some confusion recently so we're just clarifying that here Thanks for pulling this together Kei!

Takara tomy layers with hasbro drivers are not allowed anyway. The mechanism works differently between them, making tt drivers on hasbro layers so tight it can damage the driver springs, and hasbro drivers on tt layers so loose it doesn’t make sense to do it in the first place. If you also have a tt wedge I would recommend using it instead and using a different driver for the combo you got it from.
Edit: why wedge in the first place?

It wouldn't be that good. Stamina and Defense Bases have less Burst Resistance potential than Attack Type Bases. Cho-Z Achilles could Burst Grand/Cosmo Valkyrie Outer Eternal pretty easily.
