This can't be approved for ranked, it has a wbba 5g format for semi finals unless it got a pass through staff.  Normally that isn't allowed unless again it was changed recently.

But isn’t that only in the day 2 finals? The Saturday initial tournament could be played out like a full normal ranked tournament and Sunday they just use the top cut phase of the tournament as the seeding arrangement for the Sunday tournament.

Changing to unranked, Allen is correct. This was originally explained as multiple single elimination wbo format events.

I was just curious if the list of participants was going to be a posted because I bought a ticket and I didn't see any names pop up on the page like normal.

It'll hopefully be added soon

Since 5G is now ranked doe that make this tournament ranked now?

For those who qualified for the Dark Horseman, these are some points to consider for the Domination Match type in the First Round(or Round of 16). I believe nobody wants to get eliminated early so here are some info about it.

1. Some players are now worried that a certain combo, or more specifically a driver like Bearing Drift is becoming overpowered and is a candidate for banning the part in tournaments. My solution is not to completely ban the part, but instead let the players decide if they want to deal with it or not by introducing a “Ban Phase” in the match. In this way, players will have to risk getting their bey banned in a match if they decided to go with a popular and powerful combo on Bearing Drift. With a Ban Phase, players will be encouraged to be more creative on their combo-making because for example if you put Bearing Drift on Cyclone, would you consider it as a threat and ban it? The effect of having a Ban Phase is that it will eventually balance out combos if players would want their bearing drifts to get through. Or unless they want to use their Bearing Drift combo as a decoy to get their opponents to ban it so that they can freely plan their combos on the other 4 beys. Take note that there is a counter-picking aspect of the match so some niche combos might see some action since it probably won’t get banned...or won’t it? These are just some scenarios that I can think of, and probably more combo building strategies will appear in the future. For me, the main feature of Burst series is the combo building and this format will bring out the best of it!
Why only one driver variant is allowed? One of the main features of this format is the Ban Phase and I want it to be impactful! If you will ban a combo with a Bearing Drift but your opponent still has a Metal Bearing Drift Combo, then the ban will somehow become irrelevant. I want this format to promote clever combo building and carefully planned combo synergies. That will not be possible if someone could just use a variant of a banned driver.

2. Why implement a spin changing rule? Personally, I believe it is long overdue that people need to experience this gimmick! Some consider it Overpowered, some don’t. Since you can ban 1 bey, it’s up to the player to decide if it is really a threat or not. Would you rather face a Bearing Drift Combo or a Spin Changing Bey?
Since you need to win with different beys in a Match, a combo only becomes overpowered if it can get multiple wins in a match (atleast in my opinion). Also, you can do a strategy where you can just let your opponent’s “star player” or best beyblade combo get a point as long as you don’t let his other combos get a score. It all boils down on how you built your lineup and how you plan your picks & ban.

3. Domination Match Type is designed for highly competitive Bladers and is not recommended to be used by beginners. This is recommended only for big events where all the experienced and pro bladers gather to test their skills against each other. This is also recommended for experienced communities or play groups wanting to push their limits on Blading. I suggest you to try and test this match type by having the same lineups but with different bans in each match to see that you can win matchups depending on what you ban and how you counter-pick. Then you try building specialized lineups to see how it goes. For example, a lineup that targets right-spins, or maybe a more specific one that targets wind combo, etc.

Do we have to pick up our badge on Friday because I didn't qualify for the dark horseman so I was planning on only going Saturday and Sunday for the Koth and other tournaments.

You can also pick up the badge on Saturday.

Where can I find the results from the Beyblade World Cup?
