if it's not in limited, no. (although i think it should be allowed.)

The trophies for this event as well as the other two BEYBLADE NORTH 2022 events arrived today! Check 'em out!



The top three players in this event will each win one of these laser-engraved acrylic trophies as well as a physical Beyblade prize! More details on those coming later.

Also, I commissioned a set of six 5G Deck Boxes for use in the finals of this event from a player in Japan, mayuka_0101. I'm so happy with how they turned out.

The tournament bracket links have now been added into the event description and below so that you can follow along during the event:

First Stage Bracket

Final Stage Bracket

Hello everyone! BEYBLADE NORTH 2022 at Anime North 2022 is now less than a week away! I hope you are all looking forward to it. I have a few important updates to share:

Final Stage: 5G Match Type Rule Adjustment
The first rule listed in the event description for the 5G Match Type has now been adjusted to the following:

1. Matches are to 5 points

• Outspin = 1 Point
  
• Knock Out = 2 Point
  
• Burst = 2 Points
  

Previously, victory required 3 points. It now requires 5. See the event description for the full listing of the 5G Match Type rules.

After testing out the 5G Match Type in the final stage of my recent event, THE FOUNDATIONS OF BEY, I collected some feedback from the players who participated and decided that playing to five points instead of three would allow for a slightly longer match generally speaking and in reality, promote a more balanced representation of attack/defense/stamina types in decks from the first to the fifth slot in your deck.

Prizes
Here is a look at some of the prizes that will be awarded across each of the three tournaments on July 15, 16, and 17!

---

Need-to-Know Information
In addition to the need-to-know information listed at the bottom of the event description at the top of this page, we have prepared a sheet that will be distributed to each participant of this event on Saturday, July 16.

It includes key rules and information you must be familiar with before you play in this event. We will review this info and more with everyone when we start. Let's work together to ensure the tournament can be completed swiftly and successfully!

---

Floor Plan
This is the floor plan of our booth in Hall B at the Toronto Congress Centre. We will be in the southeast corner (same spot as previous years). The exact layout is subject to change, but this is what we’ll be shooting for.

As always, we will ask that all participants stay clear of the tournament area unless you have been called for a match. On the floor plan this is the area with the red blocks and the pathway along the right that starts from the diagonal green line.

Social Media Coverage
Finally, I’d like to ensure we have as much coverage of this event for social media as possible. I’ll be doing my best to shoot video and take photos throughout the weekend.

However, I will be pre-occupied at times with running the event so if anyone else is willing to help out with shooting photos or video please send me a message!

I’d like to submit some of it to be used on WBO social media (your contributions would be potentially eligible for reward through Project Social Media for this) as well as a potential report for my blog BeyBase.

Hey everyone! Just a note that registration on this event page is now closed. We are now opening registration at our booth.

You must check-in at our booth if you are signed up already on this page as of 10:15AM. If you are not signed up on this page as of right now, you will need to register at the booth. See you all soon!

Who won this event?

Hello everyone, thank you to all of you who participated in BEYBLADE NORTH this year! It was great to be back after three years, finally and to see so many new and old faces.

However, I’ve received some unfortunate news that at least one person who attended our events this past weekend has tested positive for COVID-19.

I would recommend that anyone who participated in our events or was at our booth for an extended period of time test themselves in order to confirm whether they are positive or negative.

If you test positive, you can learn more here about what to do: https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/s...ptoms.html

I will be sending this message to all of the participants via Private Message as well.

edit: And to be clear, the person who I have confirmed the positive test result from attended all three BEYBLADE NORTH events at Anime North.

Tournament Final Standings:

1st: Kei
2nd: Dan
3rd: Justin TC
4th: henwooja1

Hey everyone, I have two Beyblades that seem to have been lost by someone at the convention. I'm not sure what day this happened on ... but if you're missing two Beyblades, send me a private message letting me know what you think you lost and I'll tell you if that's what I have. Then, we can arrange to get them back to you at the next Toronto tournament you attend.
