I can willingly do a test run for a Team Tournament.
Tag-Team Round Robin.
Round robin with Tag Teams!
If you mean not all of them battling in the same stadium at the same time (Tag team, although it is quite fun beating your friends bey after taking down the opponents), Then i think its an absolute brilliant idea, i'm serious but it'll have to be in a suitable time and place though like somewhere where everyone can participate so no one will be left out and when it's in the school holidays!
My team (beyblasters) will accept any challenge form any other team.
hah.....
I mean like this
there are the team A, A1, A2, A3
then team B, B1, B2, B3, they vs each other once, then the one with the most wins is the winner of that round
very long, but if you know how to do it, easy
This is not fair, and I have already explained why Tag Team is better previously. The chance for a bad player to tag along to two strong Bladers all the way up to the top and getting third place is just wrong.
to make it faster, we could make it groups of 7 and the loser gets eliminated and fairer

That's how teams work though, you have good players and bad players. I doubt any team will purposely select a bad player to represent them. I liked the old beyblade series' tournament style:
A1 VS B1
A2 VS B2
A3 VS B3
A4 VS B4
These things usually balance out, you have to look at the team as a whole rather than the individual pieces. I really don't feel like any team leader would risk winning by letting a bad player be on the team, it would make it much harder for them to succeed as you can't gauge the other team's skill level until you play them.
We do not want to give a Bronze Face to someone who does not deserve it. It can logically happen that a bad player who is really friends with one or two Bladers gets included in a team with two very strong players.
By the way, even numbers of players are just bothersome, besides two.
Teams are composed of individuals with varying skill levels, it happens in all manners of teams too. If a football team wins the premiership league, EVERY player gets a medal, even the terrible ones. There's some things you shouldn't try to police... to allow freedom. If a team of 4 wants one terrible person on their team that's their prerogative and most likely they will lose for it. I understand what you're saying, but because of this one little thing that has a very small chance of happening, it'd be ruined for the rest of the beybladers who want to compete as teams. It'd be like banning studded shoes in football because some players use them to commit dangerous fouls.
If 2 teams of 4 bladers were tied at 2-2, you could give the team some time to choose their best beyblader and have them battle. Whoever won would lead their team onto the next round and whoever lost would be knocked out with their team.
Unfortunately, this could put a lot of pressure on the other bladers...like with Zain's dilemma, when 2 teams are tied at 2-2, it could create a lot of pressure for the blader they select to battle.
EDIT: And if they were to lose, then he would probably feel a bit dejected by his teammates. That's something that I would hope to avoid.

You see, our views differ a lot on this issue : in my idea for a Tag Team Format, I would have the losers face each other, not the strongest Bladers. It really has to be the most deserving team, as a group of Bladers, that advances towards the finals.
I would think it would be good to have 3 members: then you pick like in the anime: Advance Guard, second blader, third. And it would be unknown to the other team. Is that similar to your format, Kai-V?
Tag Team is just two people...
Actually, the losers facing each other seems like a good idea that would solve the problem of an undeserving beyblader getting through. Wouldn't that work with teams too? Say if you had a judge who was watching all the battles, maybe even a panel of judges, and together they could all make a decision about who were the two weakest bladers and have them face off against each other?
it convinces me. I don't really care all I want is for you admins to stop being so hard on the idea of beyteams! This isn't for adults its for kids who still have a life to live! That's all beyblade is.
There is still a way to play the game, enjoy it, but keep it fair. Things like TAKARA-TOMY using a stadium with a third, illegal prototype Beyblade that is mobile and that never stops spinning are completely unfair, and the winner of the Japan Championships 2012 might not really deserve it. We simply want to prevent this sort of unfairness.
Well...
I think this would be a wicked idea, but, some bladers like to play individually and others like to play as a team. So, in the tournaments there should be a choice we're you could have like a team challenge (Tag team, etc) Or Individual challenge like we always had. Please reply if you agree or disagree! I would really appreciate it!
Block Swiss format?
IMO, my experience with team based tournaments (due to local WBBA scene) is filled with havoc, chaos, accidents and loads of fun with no regret even when lost.
But the whole point was to simply attract the crowd with all the randomness instead of the usual 1V1. We always have the same winners for those.
Depending on the format, team tournaments are way more strategic. If you have a weak partner, its up to the stronger player to bring up his skill level, be it combo or technique. At least, that was displayed during the whole event. It really challenges the stronger player.
Even so, I cant see how WBO can implement this unless its just a simple 1v1 (2 team player style) point system. Thats not really much different from a typical 1v1.
yes i think that it would be awsome afterall you cant always do it alone

Each battle would still be one versus one though, so you would still have to do something alone.

so like one on one battles (well you just sead that) but like 5 people on the two teams it would be best out of 5 right
It has been re-stated ad nauseum that if we do encorporate a team format, it will be Tag Team, consisting of no more than two individuals per team.
does it have to be in america coz im in the uk and i have a great team called the hawks
If the idea comes into fruition, it will be worldwide, similar our current Organized Play.
Team Tournaments...Huh???
I think so it will be difficult for the members.
And if Team's members fight then there is no use of that
As we've said, these teams would not correspond to the current idea of "teams", they would be tag teams of two people.
I think it would add an interesting new dimension to it, and help foster better relationships, and perhaps help people to learn, if more experience bladers are happy to help a less knowledgeable partner.
