Which kind of reminds me:
If/When the younger players battle, will they recieve handicaps or something? Just a random thought, since there's a big strength difference between an 8-year-old and a 17-year-old. :\
RE: IBA Presents- Battle Of The Boroughs! NJ/NY - Maz - Jul. 30, 2008
No they won't.
Edit: By the way I'm only assuming that to be the case. My logic is since there is not age restrictions in the IBA rules everyone is on the same playing field and no one gets and advantages over others. Brad if you wana confirm my assumption that would be cool thanks.

Hopefully this won't happen cuz I don't want to end up with a 10-year old and win easily. I would end up feeling guilty afterwards.

Younger kids most likely wont understand the logic in beyblade and so wont have a very good customized beyblade anyways, so they are already at a disadvantage.
RE: IBA Presents- Battle Of The Boroughs! NJ/NY - Rockblade - Jul. 30, 2008
well i customized his beyblade for him so he wont go down that easily. he has already beaten me ounce or twice.

Well right, but spin velocity is also a big decider in Beybattles, and I only brought up the handicap thing because, no matter how good your little brother's blade is, if he's up against a 17-year-old, the spin velocities will be worlds different and the skill level will be uneven.
Whatever, the handicap question has been answered so...yeah.
RE: IBA Presents- Battle Of The Boroughs! NJ/NY - Maz - Jul. 30, 2008
I seriously doubt anyone would get a handicap because of young players. How would one even get handicaped?
RE: IBA Presents- Battle Of The Boroughs! NJ/NY - Synesthesia - Jul. 30, 2008
There'd be ways to give handicaps, but that's a pretty horrible idea.
Some kids are just smarter and more talented than others kids, and giving handicaps to a general age-group could result in unfair advantages to the younger players who are actually really good.
Getting slaughtered by an 8 year old would be bad enough, but getting slaughtered faster because they have a handicap would be ridiculous.
RE: IBA Presents- Battle Of The Boroughs! NJ/NY - Bey Brad - Jul. 30, 2008
There are no age handicaps.
