Changing Launchers between round - Ifririt - Sep. 26, 2024
Hi! I've been playing for years but haven't gone to many tournaments, so I'm not familiar with these rulings. Can i change my launcher setup between rounds of a match? i.e. i usually use a side facing string launcher + grip, but if my next bey in my deck is more aggressive would i be allowed to switch to a ripcord launcher + grip for that round?

Hello there! I do believe that unfortunately you are unable to switch up your launcher setup between rounds of a match. I believe the only exceptions to this are swapping to a launcher of the opposite spin direction (As in such cases of switching from launching a right-spinning bey to a left-spinning one) or if your launcher breaks during a match (in which you'll need to replace it.) Otherwise, you're unable to swap you launcher/parts of your launcher after the "Beyblade Selection" part of the match is completed and both Bladers are "set".
P.S. Also would make sure to post any future questions about the rules in the "Discuss worldbeyblade.org" next time.

In WBO Deck format the rulebook explicitly allows up to three beys and up to three launchers. When it comes to 3on3 format I was under the impression you are also allowed up to three launchers. Checking the 3on3 rulebook now i do not see three launchers being explicitly mentioned, however allowing 1 launcher per bey is how i have been running my tournaments here in VA and it is what I have observed in MD. I don't think I’ve ever see a judge disallow switching launchers when beys were switched. Perhaps i am missing a finer point of the rules here, but this has been my experience at tournaments.

Yes, you can.
You can bring up to 3 launchers for a 3-Bey deck.
I.e. you can set:
DranSword on Blue Winder Launcher
HellsScythe on Red Winder Launcher + Custom Grip
WizardArrow on White String Launcher + Launcher Grip

Quote:From the x rulebook:
"Once a blader is set, they may not change their Beyblade(s) or launcher(s) for the duration of the match."
Can we get some clarification on the rule book on that if this is the case then? This statement implies launchers can't be swapped, and nowhere in the rules prior to this section does it describe picking launchers as part of setting beys. I was genuinely under the impression that you get 1 right launcher and 1 left launcher.
Edit: upon a 4th rereading in the section prior it does say you must present your launcher and beyblades for inspection but I still think the section I quoted causes a lot of confusion on the topic.

The quoted section still applies - you cannot, for instance, in that example get a Black Marvel Entry Launcher after Launcher Check, and substitute that for any of the 3 listed (set) launchers.
RE: Changing Launchers between round - fabelavalon - Sep. 28, 2024
Yes but no where do the rules imply you can set 3 launchers, only that you "select your beyblade(s)" and "present your beyblade and launcher to the judge for inspection".
It's just slightly unclear in my opinion.
