Launcher

1. The launcher is used to launch the Bey into the stadium for battle.
2. Launchers have two types:
   
   1. String launchers, which are powered by an internal string mechanism.
   2. Winder launchers, which are powered by an external winder.
3. Any official Beyblade X winder may be used with any winder launcher.
4. Launchers may only be used with Beys of the matching spin direction (e.g. left launchers may only be used with Beys designated as left spin).

Stadium

1. Battles take place in the stadium. This ruleset is only intended for Takara Tomy's “Xtreme Stadium” (aka Hasbro's “Tournament Beystadium”), with supplementary rulings for Takara Tomy's “Infinity Stadium”.
2. The stadium is comprised of a stadium cover and stadium body (figure 1).
   
   1. The stadium cover includes the launch area, a circular opening through which Beys are launched.
   2. The stadium body is the surface Beys are launched onto.
3. The space inside the stadium (between the stadium cover and stadium body) is divided into three types of zones (figure 2):
   
   1. the battle zone, consisting of the entire space inside the stadium except for the over zone and Xtreme zone
   2. the two over zones, located at the left and right corners, at the front of the stadium
   3. the Xtreme zone, located in the center, at the front of the stadium
4. The stadium is placed on top of a flat, level play surface.
   
   1. Any barriers or objects other than the flat surface the stadium is placed on are not considered part of the play surface, even if they are attached to the play surface.
   2. Exercise caution when playing on elevated play surfaces, such as tables or stadium stands.

Battle Types

Match Types

Winning the Match

1. A Beyblade match consists of battles, points and sets.
   
   1. Battles: When two Beys are played against each other and a winning Bey is determined once, resulting in points being awarded.
   2. Points: Awarded to the winner of the battle. The number of points awarded is based on how the battle was won (see: battle result).
   3. Sets: Won when a blader has earned the required number of points. A blader cannot earn more points than the number required.
2. You win the match when:
   
   1. 4-point, 5-point, and 7-point: you win one set with the required number of points.
   2. Best of 3 [4-point]: you win two 4-point sets.

Match Setup

Match Start

1. The match starts once both participating bladers and the judge have arrived at the stadium.
2. Bring any equipment you may consider using during the match.
3. Once the match starts, you may not receive assistance from others or leave the stadium without the judge’s permission.

Select Position

If the Infinity Stadium is being used, this step is optional and may be skipped.

1. One blader is randomly determined to choose their launch position at either the left side or right side of the stadium.
2. The blader who will choose their launch position is determined through a fair, randomized method decided by the judge (e.g. a coin flip, die roll, or rock-paper-scissors). The randomly determined blader then declares their position.
3. The blader who didn’t choose a position must take the remaining position.
4. Launch position must be chosen independently by the randomly determined blader. Bladers may not discuss launch positions at any point.

Select Beys

1. Bladers select their Bey(s) for the match, including the initial order of their deck.
2. Bey selection must be completed in secret (typically with both bladers turning their backs to the stadium).
3. You may never attempt to gain information about the opponent’s Bey selection.
4. Bey selection should be completed within 1 minute. Beyond 1 minute, the judge may ask you to immediately finalize your selection.
5. Once your Bey selection is complete, inform the judge.

Judge Check

1. The judge will take each blader’s Beys and check them to ensure they comply with equipment regulations and deck building rules.
2. If the judge determines that a blader’s Beys cannot be used in the match, that blader does Bey selection once more.
   
   1. If a blader’s Beys are rejected by a judge check twice during the same match, they immediately lose the match.
   2. If you have questions about if you can use a part, ask before submitting to judge check.
   3. If a blader fails a judge check due to intentional cheating, they will be disqualified.
3. The judge may disassemble Beys when checking them, and may return them disassembled. Ensure your Beys are fully assembled before playing the first battle.
4. Alternatively, the judge may choose to retain each blader’s Beys and present them for each battle before returning them.
5. The judge may request to check each blader’s launchers. If so, you must present all launchers you will use for the match alongside your Beys.
6. Once the judge has confirmed that both bladers’ equipment can be used, the first battle will be played. After this point, the selected Beys and initial order of the deck cannot be changed.

Battle

Present Beys

1. Both bladers present the Bey they will use in the battle to each other by showing the top and bottom of the Bey so that all parts are clearly visible.
2. You may ask your opponent to present their Bey again, or to verbally state the parts in their Bey.
3. After both bladers have presented their Beys, both bladers may choose to adjust their Bey.
   
   1. When adjusting a Bey, a blader may adjust the orientation of parts in their Bey (such as rotating the position of the ratchet and/or bit), or change the mode of parts with mode change functionality, even if these adjustments require disassembly of the Bey.
   2. A blader must communicate to the opponent and the judge when they are about to adjust their Bey.
   3. If both bladers wish to adjust their Beys, both bladers must complete their adjustments in secret.
   4. Once the adjustment is complete and the Bey is fully assembled, the Bey is presented to the opponent again.
   5. Beys can only be adjusted once per battle.

Ready for Launch

Launch Position

1. Launch positions are the spaces each blader must launch their Bey from, determined during the select position step.
2. The position boundary is an infinite line aligned to each blader’s stadium side, measured from the stadium itself (figure 3).
3. You can position your lower body anywhere within your launch position as long as you:
   
   1. do not cross the position boundary
   2. do not interfere with the opponent’s launch
   3. do not interfere with the judge’s ability to judge the match
   4. do not risk impact with surrounding objects or people
4. If the judge determines your positioning interferes with their ability to judge, the opponent’s ability to launch, or is unsafe, you must adjust it at their request.

Launch Range

1. Attach your Bey to your launcher and hold it within launch range (figure 4):
   
   1. directly above or within the launch area
   2. with at least part of your Bey above the opening of the launch area
   3. with at least part of your Bey within 5 cm/2 inches above the stadium cover’s highest point
   4. with the Bey not tilted more than 70° in any direction

3. The launch range is divided in half between the left side and right side of the stadium (figure 4).
   
   1. You may hold your Bey anywhere within range on your side, unless there is mutual interference.
   2. You may hold your Bey within range on the opponent's side only if it does not interfere with the opponent’s launch, as determined by the judge.
4. You may move your Bey before and during launching as long as you remain within launch range and do not interfere with the opponent’s launch.
5. Bladers may never touch their opponent with any part of their body or equipment, or otherwise interfere with their opponent’s launch.
   
   1. If you believe your opponent’s equipment interferes with your launch, inform your opponent and the judge.
   2. If the judge determines that a blader is interfering with their opponent’s launch, or there is mutual interference, the judge may require one or both bladers to make any specified adjustments.
   3. If a blader refuses to make specified adjustments, or intentionally interferes with their opponent’s launch, they will be disqualified.

6. Once both Beys are held within launch range and there is no interference, the judge will announce “ready set” to inform players that the countdown to launch is about to start. If you are not ready to launch, immediately tell the judge.

Launch

1. During the countdown, the judge will call out: “three, two, one, go shoot!” or “three, two, one, let it rip!”
2. Launch your Bey as the word “shoot” or “rip” is called. Do not begin pulling your winder/string before the word “shoot” or “rip” begins.
3. Launch your Bey so that it passes through the launch area and touches the stadium before it touches the opponent's Bey.
4. The judge will watch each blader’s launch to check for launch errors, launch interference, failed launches, and mid-air collisions. If any of these occur, the battle will be restarted.
5. If during the countdown, a Bey moves outside of launch range, falls off the launcher or otherwise becomes unready to launch, the countdown will be paused and restarted.
6. If the judge determines your launch method results in restarted battles, you must modify it at their request. If you do not, you will be disqualified.
7. If your launch was obstructed due to your opponent’s interference, your launcher failing, or another event outside your control, you may request a restart.

Launch errors

1. A blader commits a launch error when they:
   
   1. position their Bey outside of launch range while launching (out-of-range launch)
   2. launch or begin pulling their launcher’s winder/string before the word “shoot” or “rip” is called (early launch)
   3. launch after the word “shoot” or “rip” is called (late launch)
   4. launch their Bey outside the stadium (stadium miss)
   5. launch their Bey so that it touches the stadium cover before passing through the launch area (launch area miss)
   6. launch their Bey so that the blade hits the stadium body before any other part (flipped launch)
   7. touch the stadium with their body, launcher (except for the string of a string launcher), accessory or Bey while launching (stadium contact)
2. When a blader commits a launch error, they receive a pending penalty, and the battle is restarted.
3. When a blader commits a launch error while they have a pending penalty, the opposing blader receives 1 point (a penalty point). The pending penalty is then removed, and the battle is restarted.
4. If both bladers commit a launch error during the same launch, neither blader will receive a pending penalty nor a penalty point.
5. When either blader wins a battle, any pending penalties are removed for both bladers.
6. If a blader commits a launch error, and a failed launch or launch interference also occurred during that launch, the launch error will be disregarded, and the battle will be restarted due to the failed launch or launch interference instead.

Failed launches

1. A failed launch occurs when:
   
   1. A Bey bursts before it touches the stadium
   2. A Bey is not spinning when it first touches the stadium
   3. A Bey fails to release from its launcher
2. When a failed launch occurs, the battle is restarted.
3. The judge may choose to check the equipment used before restarting the battle, and may require bladers to change their equipment if they determine it is defective.

Launch interference

1. Launch interference occurs when the judge determines that either blader’s launch has been interfered with, including but not limited to:
   
   1. one blader touches another with their body, launcher, or Bey
   2. a blader suddenly repositions in a way that interferes with their opponent’s launch
2. When launch interference occurs, the battle is restarted.
3. If the judge determines that the interference was due to one blader, and that the interference was intentional, severe, or repeated, they will be disqualified.

Mid-air collision

1. Mid-air collision occurs when the Beys touch each other before both Beys have touched the stadium once.
2. When mid-air collision occurs, the battle is restarted.

Requesting a restart

1. You may request a restart only if:
   
   1. the opposing blader’s launch interfered with your launch
   2. you were hit or otherwise obstructed by a person or object while launching
   3. your launcher fails to function correctly or breaks during launching
2. Request a restart by clearly saying “restart” and raising your hand immediately after launching.
3. After requesting a restart, wait for the judge’s response, which may come after the battle ends. Then explain the reason for your request.
4. If your request is approved due to a technical issue with your launcher, you must use a different launcher for the rest of the match.
5. You may only request a restart for a launcher failure once per match.
6. If you request a restart for a launcher failure, the judge may check your launcher, including performing a test launch with it.
7. Requests for restarts are approved solely at the judge’s discretion.

Resolve Battle

1. The battle starts once both Beys have passed through the launch area and touched the stadium, without any launch errors, failed launches, launch interference or mid-air collisions occurring.
2. A Bey becomes finished when it stops spinning, bursts or is unable to return to the battle zone.
3. The battle ends as soon as either:
   
   1. one Bey is spinning in the battle zone while the opposing Bey is finished, OR
   2. both Beys are finished.
4. Do not touch any Beys or the stadium until the judge confirms the battle result. If you do, you will immediately lose the battle, and your opponent will receive 3 points. The battle will not be restarted.

Spinning and stops spinning

1. A Bey is spinning for as long as it continues to rotate in its original spin direction at any speed and without any detached parts, regardless of the Bey’s axis, orientation or position.
2. This includes:
   
   1. when the Bey is rolling against the stadium body
   2. when the Bey flips sideways or upside down
   3. when the Bey is outside the battle zone or stadium
   4. when the Bey cannot complete a full rotation, but is still rotating
3. A Bey stops spinning the moment it ceases rotating in its original spin direction, or begins rotating in the opposite direction.

Burst

1. A Bey bursts when any part of the Bey fully detaches and separates from the rest of the Bey.
2. If a part partially detaches from a Bey but does not fully separate (e.g. a Bey’s bit pops out from the ratchet, but remains partially inside the ratchet), the Bey has not burst.

Unable to return to the battle zone

1. A Bey is unable to return to the battle zone when:
   
   1. it stops spinning or bursts while outside the battle zone
   2. it completely exits the stadium directly from the Xtreme zone or over zone
   3. it touches anything other than the stadium, play surface, or the opposing Bey while outside the battle zone
   4. it exits the stadium through the launch area and then, while still outside the stadium, touches anything other than the stadium or the opposing Bey
2. If a Bey exits the battle zone through the launch area:
   
   1. it is able to return to the battle zone as long as it does not stop spinning, burst, or touch any object other than the stadium or opposing Bey
   2. if it becomes unable to return to the battle zone, the battle is restarted

Resolving battle with BulletGriffon

1. Beys including the parts Bullet/Rocket and Griffon are only considered finished when Griffon (the lower part) stops spinning, bursts, or becomes unable to return to the battle zone. Bullet (the upper part) cannot be finished.
2. When Bullet detaches from Griffon, it is not considered a burst.
3. If Bullet exits the stadium through an area other than Xtreme zone or over zone, and cannot return to the stadium, the battle is restarted.

Battle Result

1. You score a finish when the opponent’s Bey is finished (unless the battle is restarted).
2. When the battle ends, the blader that scored a finish wins the battle, and earns points based on how the opposing Bey was finished.

3. A Bey enters a zone when the entire Bey is completely within that zone. It is considered to remain within that zone until the entire Bey leaves that zone.
4. If both bladers score a finish, the first finish initiated wins. If the judge determines both finishes initiated at the same time, the battle is a draw, and is restarted.
5. If a Bey enters the Xtreme or over zone, but returns to the battle zone still spinning, the initiated finish is reversed. When a finish is reversed, that finish is considered to have never been initiated and is not scored.
6. In the “Infinity Stadium”, if a Bey enters the Xtreme or over zone, and then enters directly into a different Xtreme or over zone, the first Xtreme or over zone entered (and thus the first finish initiated) is scored when the Bey becomes unable to return to the battle zone.

Restart Battle

1. A battle is restarted when:
   
   1. a launch error, failed launch, launch interference, or mid-air collision occurs
   2. a request for a restart due to launch obstruction is approved
   3. a Bey exits the stadium without passing through the Xtreme zone or over zone, and becomes unable to return to the battle zone
   4. a draw occurs
   5. a Bey’s part breaks
   6. the stadium breaks or part of the stadium detaches
   7. a Bey becomes stuck between the stadium cover and side of the stadium body while within the battle zone
   8. the judge otherwise determines that the fair and safe play of the battle has been interfered with
2. When a battle is restarted, any result of that battle is canceled, and the battle is played again using the same Beys and launchers without adjustment.
3. Begin the restarted battle at the launch position step, without presenting Beys.
4. If a battle would be restarted at the same time a blader would win the set (such as after they receive a penalty point), instead of restarting the battle, that blader wins the set.
5. If part of your Bey breaks during battle, or the judge otherwise determines that it no longer complies with equipment regulations, that part is removed from play. Then, either:
   
   1. Replace the removed part with another copy of the same part. The current battle is restarted.
   2. The removed part is not replaced, and the current battle is canceled. Both bladers return to the Select Beys step while retaining their current scores. You may not use any copy of the removed part for the rest of the match.

About Judges

1. In a Beyblade tournament, every match must be overseen by a judge.
2. The judge’s role is to ensure that all matches are played in accordance with the rules and that match results are accurately reported.
3. If you have questions about the rules, you may ask the judge at any point other than when a battle is actively happening.
4. If you have questions or concerns about a decision made by the judge, inform the judge immediately. Once the next battle begins, the previous battle’s result cannot be adjusted.
5. At some tournaments, match footage may be recorded by judges to assist in making decisions, in line with WBO's recording rules and the organizer's recording policy.
6. Some events may have a head judge and may allow you to appeal a ruling to them. You can ask the judge or the tournament organizer if this option is available.
7. The final decision of the battle and/or match result belongs to the judge(s). You must accept the judge’s final decision. Disruptive behavior as a result of disagreeing with a judge’s decision will lead to disqualification.

Blader Conduct

1. Be on time. Arrive by the tournament’s designated start time, and move promptly to your stadium when your match is called.
2. Be ready to play. Review the event’s rules and arrive at your matches with legal equipment.
3. Respect others. Avoid offensive and discriminatory language, “trash talking,” and other behavior that could disrupt the event or upset attendees and staff.
4. Respect the venue. Keep the venue clean and avoid playing in ways that could damage the venue, stadiums or Beys.
5. Put fairness first. Do your best to ensure the rules are always followed, both by yourself and your opponent. Do not intentionally circumvent the rules — if you’re not sure if something is legal, ask a judge.
6. Follow the instructions of tournament staff. Tournament organizers and judges have the final say. If you disagree with a decision, calmly ask for a review. If you believe a judge or tournament organizer made the wrong decision, you can file a tournament issue report.

Recording Matches

1. You may record your own matches with the judge’s permission, as long as it does not interfere with the match.
2. Place your camera setup away from the judge and the opposing blader.
3. Record one continuous video for the entire match. Do not start and stop recording during the match, as it may delay completion of the match.
4. Footage recorded by bladers or spectators will not be considered by judges when making a decision.
5. Judges may revoke a blader’s right to record matches at any time.

Disqualification

1. At the discretion of the tournament organizer and judge(s), you may be disqualified from an event for any reason.
2. If you are disqualified during a match, you will lose the match.
3. The results of previous rounds will not be modified.
4. If you are disqualified from an event, you forfeit any placement and prizing.
5. If you are disqualified from an event, you may be suspended or banned from attending future events.
6. If you believe you were unfairly disqualified, you can file a tournament issue report.

   1. Parts from previous generations of Beyblade may not be used.
   2. Some unofficial and custom launcher accessories are permitted (see: Launcher Regulations).
2. Any modification of equipment beyond what is explicitly allowed in these regulations is forbidden.
3. Any modification that may cause damage to a Bey or stadium (including cosmetic damage), or create an unfair advantage in battle, is forbidden even if that modification otherwise appears to be permitted by the regulations.
4. Modified or unofficial parts, even if they appear to comply with these regulations, may be rejected at the judge’s discretion if they believe there is a possibility they will interfere with the fair and safe play of the match. Be prepared to switch to unmodified, official parts if necessary.
5. Parts made up of individual components (such as ratchets) can be disassembled and reassembled.
   
   1. The reassembled part must identically match the construction and performance of a retail version of that part.
   2. All components (including screws) must be official, unmodified and undamaged.
   3. Parts that must be damaged to be disassembled (e.g. riveted parts) cannot be disassembled.

   2. Parts that have been worn or damaged through contact with surfaces or objects other than a Bey or official stadium cannot be used.
7. Parts which perform atypically due to a manufacturing defect (such as a bit manufactured with the incorrect level of burst resistance) cannot be used.
8. Parts that are extremely worn cannot be used, even if worn through normal play.
   
   1. Extreme wear includes when a part’s shape or performance have dramatically changed from its original condition, e.g.
   2. a sharp bit becoming flattened, or a flat bit becoming round or sharpened.
   3. Extreme wear is determined at the judge’s discretion.
   4. Rubber bits (such as RA/Rubber Accel) wear down at an accelerated rate. Refer to the diagram below to determine whether a rubber bit is in legal condition.

   4. handle attachments for winders and string launchers

Banned Parts

Bits

1. MN/Metal Needle
   
   1. Reason: This bit frequently damages stadiums with its pointed metal tip.

Optional Rules

Optional rules can be used to modify the core ruleset above to create different gameplay experiences.

When an optional rule is in effect, it overrides any other rules that would contradict it.

Optional rules are the only modifications to this ruleset that are allowed in WBO Ranked League events.

1. Registered deck list
   
   1. Bladers are required to register a deck list for one or both tournament stages.
   2. A registered deck list is a list of 3 Beys, including all of their parts by name.
   3. You must use only the Beys registered on your decklist for the designated tournament stage.
   4. You may not exchange parts between Beys in your registered decklist;
   5. you must use every combination as it was written when registered.
   6. Follow the tournament organizer’s instructions regarding how to register your decklist.
   7. If your part breaks or is otherwise removed from play by the judge, you must replace it with a copy of the same part. If you cannot, you lose the match.
2. Registered side deck
   
   1. This rule can only be used alongside the registered deck list optional rule.
   2. When registering a deck, bladers can also register a side deck including up to 2 additional Beys.
   3. The Beys registered as a side deck cannot have repeating parts within the side deck.
   4. The side deck can contain parts that are also included in the main deck, as long as the deck used for each match contains no repeating parts.
3. Own finish
   
   1. When you score an Xtreme finish or over finish against a Bey that did not touch your Bey during the battle, it is considered an own finish instead.
   2. When you score an own finish, you earn 1 point. Then, the battle is restarted.
   3. This optional rule can be applied to individual stages of the event.
4. Out-of-bounds finish
   
   1. If the opposing Bey leaves the battle zone through the launch area and becomes unable to return, instead of restarting the battle, it will be considered an out-of-bounds finish.
   2. You initiate an out-of-bounds finish when the opposing Bey exits the battle zone through the launch area, and score when it becomes unable to return to the battle zone.
   3. An out-of-bounds finish is worth 1 or 2 points, as determined by the tournament organizer.
5. Painted blades allowed
   
   1. Blades can be decorated with paint provided it does not affect performance, and is not applied to areas of the blade that touch other parts of the assembled Bey.
   2. Metal parts of blades can be dyed as long as they can be disassembled and reassembled without damage or any other modification. Plastic parts must not be dyed, as it may result in damage.
   3. Paint may not be applied to metal lock chips such as Valkyrie and Emperor.
      
6. Reveal and reorder
   
   1. After judge check is complete, each blader reveals their entire deck to their opponent.
   2. Then, each blader may reorder their deck before playing the first battle.
7. Swap positions after battle
   
   1. After each battle within a set, the bladers swap launch positions.
   2. In a counter battle, this does not apply if the next battle is a rematch.
8. Loser selects position after battle
   
   1. After each battle within a set, the loser of the previous battle chooses their launch position.
   2. In a counter battle, this does not apply if the next battle is a rematch.
9. No disassembled components
   
   1. Parts that have been disassembled in a way not intended by the manufacturer (e.g. removing screws or separating ratchets) cannot be used.
10. MN bit unbanned
    
    1. The MN (Metal Needle) bit may be used.
11. Adjust before presenting
    
    1. Beys must be adjusted before being presented to the opponent, and cannot be adjusted after.
12. No reverse (Infinity Stadium only)
    
    1. When a Bey leaves the battle zone and enters the Xtreme or over zone, the finish is initiated and scored the moment the majority of the Bey enters that Xtreme or over zone.
    2. The pocket walls dividing the Xtreme and over zones are considered part of the battle zone. If a Bey enters this space between zones, neither an Xtreme or over finish occurs.
13. 3-second reverse countdown (Infinity Stadium only)
    
    1. When a Bey leaves the battle zone and enters the Xtreme or over zone, the judge begins a 3-second countdown.
    2. If the Bey does not return to the battle zone after the 3-second countdown, the initiated finish is scored.
