• All Super King/Sparking System Layers (Takara Tomy), except: Glide, Curse, Super, King, Variant, Death, Abyss, First
  
• All Dynamite System Layers (Takara Tomy)
  

• All Super King/Sparking, and Dynamite Battle System Forge Discs (Takara Tomy)
  

• All Super King/Sparking System Double Chassis
  

1. Length: An initial experimental format period of at least 5 events across at least 3 months is planned.  
   
2. Region Requirements: The experimental events must be in at least 3 different regions (50 miles/80 Kilometers as suggested by Organizer’s Guide) for the format to be considered for ranked status.  
   
3. Evaluation Method: After the initial minimum of 5 events across the minimum of 3 months, the format will be formally evaluated and discussed by the Organized Play team to see if another block of 5 events/3 months experimental period is necessary for additional format evaluation.  Event results and community feedback will be reviewed. An announcement will be made shortly after the end of each experimental period to inform the community of the our progress.
   
4. For Organizers: When hosting a Burst GT format event during experimental period the event title must include the mention of “Burst GT Format.” Organizers should propose Burst GT Format events by choosing the "Burst" format, clearly designate in the event description that it is a Burst GT format event, and link to the interim rulebook. The template below can be used for this:
   

(Nov. 09, 2021  10:20 AM)th!nk Wrote: In response to the comments about a limited number of layers seeing use, there will always be favourites, but here are the layers I would consider solidly top tier:

Judgment - absolute monster attack part, holy moly, mainly tempered by other attack types, imperial and people's unwillingness to play attack.
Zwei - another beast of an attack layer, but left spin. Very capable even on qc'
Lightning L-Drago - LLD is basically a lighter but much faster Zwei, making it very very consistent and perhaps even more powerful, at the cost of additional burst risk and lighter weight. It is just as good and maybe better, depending what you're after from it. Or you could just run all of the first three entries on this list as a deck - would probably work. Also works well on Zn'+Z if you fondly remember non rubber Rage combos being relevant (to be clear tho - it's better on rubber and burstable even with dash). It is also extremely clean with its KOs, with few bounce backs, and works better on jl' than other layers too? Idk, I love it though, I'll do a testing thread soon! - One concern I have is that the introduction of potentially? heavier sparking setups with MCC/Metal Chips could be an issue for it, which would be very unfortunate.
Lord - Versatile and solid at a lot of things, great for spin stealing with a bit of aggression on tap.
Master - Great left spin defense and stamina, okay in right. Pretty fearsome, but can be handled.
Tact - A very potent and historically overlooked part, (largely due to its rarity). Tact trades blows with Master for the best left spin defensive layer, and in fact can be better as its two big fixed spikes wear down, giving it better odds against judgment than almost anything else. The gimmick is kinda secondary, but can be interesting. Overall one of the strongest layers in the format, it would take a fool to overlook this due to Master's existence. It does benefit a lot from newer drivers that work better with its impressive size. Layer Weights don't have the hugest effect tbh, as they spikes still shift even with Goku.
Imperial - Great attack part with anti-attack ability making it good on rubber or Destroy', with the Hasbro release and later molds fixing the burst resistance issue it apparently had (don't own an affected one).
Perfect Phoenix - Excellent survival with solid defense
Revive Phoenix - Maybe a little better defensively than pP, while also good for survival.
Archer Hercules - very good right spin defense
Cosmo - Hybrid and Ig' are key drivers, and Cosmo is possibly the best layer for them - it has an incredible smooth underside and good OWD. It is okay on lower stuff but the nodules can have a bit of recoil.
Naked - Decent defense and spin stealing, Paradox Xt+ has amazing LAD though, which gives it some distinct use. Have to watch the balance a bit because of the centre of gravity being a bit high.
Heaven - Excellent right stamina, in particular seems like one of the more viable users of bearing in the format.
Turbo Spryzen S4 - With excellent slopes and access to HasBearing (which is slightly shorter than Bearing so needs lift rather than wall), TS4 10Lift HasBr has great LAD - not hard to KO though. It also has various other weird gimmick drivers available due to Hasbro, which may give it a surprise factor.
Burn Phoenix - Decent defense (though burst res is suspect) but more importantly like Cosmo the smooth underside is great with Ig' in particular.
Knockout - This makes for some nice compacts - Knockout Diabolos Blitz Zn'+Z can prove quite irritating for Zwei for example. There may be better ways to use it still, but it is at least a useful addition to the toolbox.

Other stuff I have that might be good:
Infinite Lock Layers - these are interesting and I actually like Regalia Genesis Shot as a bit more than a meme, could be interesting same spin. Also like these on Almight, which doesn't have to be Yeet Launched to have top tier LAD in this format - Regalia Genesis (Big Bang Armor) Almight+S+V is actually quite a mean combo, with great LAD and significant heft to it, a kind of Weight Based Defense combo. And Big Bang Genesis (No Armor) HasWheel Iron (small bang genesis?) Is kinda spicy.
Hell (remake) - Needs better teeth than even Unicorno has, but it can take hits well when it doesn't burst. Definitely an edge case tho.
Ace (Stopper Mold) - the later version of Ace with burst stoppers seems like it could be solid for defensive or anti-attack use. May be overshadowed by Imperial but possibly at least a viable option.

Stuff I don't have that I'm curious about:
Spryzen Requiem S3 - Tight molds should be very good with Hasbro Bearing, competing with TS4
Balkesh B3 - As above, tight ones on Hasbro Bearing should pose a competitive threat.
Storm Pegasis - fast as heck, and pretty powerful, could maybe see use?
Gravity Perseus - I am not sure it will see huge use but it might find a niche?

I sincerely believe all of those in the first section are highly competitive, and the others definitely have a look in too. That seems quite varied to me personally?

This is still an experimental format, you do not need to make changes to your drafts regarding this at the moment.

I think becuz Brave is too good at right spin attack, Super was able to coexist with Judgement according to the article on the wiki, so it’s more balanced.

Super was being used on a double chassis for that (and even then I don't think it's nearly as good as Judgment). Brave is inert, I am pretty sure I would pick Super over it even with only single chassis.

As for your drafts, it has been a while since I oversaw any part of what was then BeyWiki, but articles are only accepted when well-thought out and referenced, and you generally want to have the part, or work very closely with multiple people who do, to get it accepted. My suggestion for you personally would be to work with a part that you have and can test as a single draft, focus on making one really excellent draft that covers all aspects of it, is checked and referenced based on testing and discussion. Do that instead of making a bunch of patchy ones, and go from there. It is not a race, but be the tortoise and not the hare.

Brave’s right spin attack is bad honestly, it’s only thing it was good at was stamina, and even then it was outclassed.

In my opinion GT was, and now even more so due to new parts, the most versatile format. There’s just so many parts that could be used and here’s to hoping it becomes ranked! To BGT everyone!

(Also you should probably add the chips that are banned for the superking bases, I know it’s experimental but I mean someone using glide solomon destroy’ 2A just doesn’t bode well with me)

Bad? Absolutely not. It was incredible, but still outclassed by Judgement.

DB and SK discs are banned. Imo there aren't any drivers which need to be banned (if anything, it would only be because something like Curse turns out to be too strong). I would prefer not having any chips with rubber or metal around, personally, but I guess we'll see ☺️
