Quote:Takara-Tomy, Hasbro and Sonokong.
Official sites:
Hasbro http://www.hasbro.com/
TakaraTomy http://www.takaratomy.co.jp/
Sonokong http://eng.sonokong.co.kr/

Quote:-At ANY official tournament, illegitimate beyblade's are NOT permitted simply because they donot come under the category of 'beyblades' as they are illegally manufactured by unlawful, counterfeit, criminal companies who steal ideas for the own selfish gain.
-Besides, their quality is HORRIBLE
-Only beyblades licensed by TakaraTomy, Hasbro and Sonokong are legal and genuine.
-DONOT bring them! Show your support to the original creators of beyblade, by buying their products ONLY.
-It is forbidden to use them at the event. If you are caught using them you are automatically DISQUALIFIED
-If you cant follow the rules, DONOT attend the event

Quote:Compare the quality, color and weight of your fake beyblade with the original one.
They all differ widely.

2. Click here for Metal Fight Beyblades (The Second generation beyblades released in 2008)
3. Click here for the Beyblade burst release (The Third generation beyblades released in 2015)

Quote:Before buying check for the TakaraTomy, Hasbro or Sonokong logo on the box

Quote:=> Worn parts are PROHIBITED as they do not perform the way they were originally created for.
=> For instance: if a WD performance tip is worn, it will perform aggressively like an attack type, whereas it was normally designed to be a stamina type tip in a fixed/stable position.
=> DO NOT bring WORN parts. If you are found using them your battles will be considered as a automatic loss.

Quote:Depending upon the format, these stadiums can be used. Click here and go to the 'BeyStadium Matrix' section.

Quote:After thousands of hours of intensive testing by various pro-bladers around the globe, it was proven that Hasbro stadiums donot give all types of beyblade a fair chance to win.
To give all types of beyblade a fair chance of winning in a competitive environment, Hasbro stadiums are STRICTLY PROHIBITED.

Quote:NO!
Most official Beyblade tops are declared legal by the WBO. However, there are several
special parts that are not allowed in sanctioned WBO BeyBattles.

Light Volumes)

Quote:NOPE !
Refer above. Please follow the rules if you are interested in a competitive game play.
If you are found disturbing the peace at the tournament, the host has the right to DISQUALIFY you.
You will then be intermediately reported to the authorities, under Section 268 & 294 of the Indian Penal Code.

Quote:NOPE!!
Parts from one system CANNOT be used with a system they were NOT designed to be COMPATIBLE with, e.g. using HMS parts with Plastic parts, using an MFB Launcher with a Plastic Customize Grip.
