(Unranked + Credits/Faces + Automatic Hasbro Beyblade Burst Giveaway Entry)
+
BURST FORMAT - 2PM
(Ranked + Credits/Faces)
Years in the making ... the return of Beyblade in North America has finally arrived (well, hopefully by this Sunday)! In celebration of the September release of Beyblade Burst in Canada and their hopeful presence at Fan Expo in the Hasbro booth, we have decided to host not one, but two Burst Format events this Sunday, September 4th across the street from the convention!
Join us for a chance not only to improve your BeyRank in our ranked Burst Format event at 2PM, but to try new and exciting strategies while helping to shape the future of WBO Organized Play in our experimental, unranked Burst Format event at 11AM! And earn a chance to win some great Hasbro Beyblade Burst prizes while you're at it! Welcome to THE BEY-GINNING OF AN ERA! More details below.
Location
We'll be playing at Roundhouse Park in downtown Toronto. Roundhouse Park is located directly across the street from the Metro Toronto Convention Centre where the Fan Expo will be taking place this weekend. The CN Tower and Rogers Centre are also very close by. Specifically, we will be playing in the area highlighted below near the corner of Bremner Boulevard and Lower Simcoe:

If you have any questions on the specific spot of the park, don't hesitate to post below!
Blader Passport or Entry Fee Required for Ranked Burst Format Event
To participate in the second event of the day–the Ranked Burst Format tournament at 2PM–you must purchase a Blader Passport for $20 CDN–which will grant you entry into all WBO events for an entire year, among other benefits–or alternatively, you can pay $6 CDN for a single tournament.
The experimental Burst Format event is going to be part of a special campaign and is therefore free to play in! No fee or Blader Passport required!
Experimental Unranked Burst Format Information & Giveaway!
As the launch of Beyblade Burst internationally approaches, we would like to take this opportunity before what will likely be a huge influx of new users to experiment with new rulesets and ideas to make WBO Organized Play more fun to play, easy to organize, standardized, and timely in their execution. As a result, the first tournament at this event will be played using new experimental rules and will as a result be unranked. Credits and Faces will still be awarded, however.
The new rules for this first, experimental Burst Format tournament at 11AM will be as follows:
- Odin Layer is Legal
- Swiss Format w/Single Elimination Final
- Deck Rotation for Single Elimination finals
- 2 Point Burst Finishes/KOs.
- Seeding based strictly on BeyRank.
As thanks for playing to the best of your ability in this event and helping us make more informed decisions, all participants in this event will be entered into a Hasbro Beyblade Burst Giveaway! Details to be announced soon in an announcement about this campaign for the rest of the world in the News forum.
Other organizers who'd like to participate in running experimental formats: We're doing this one first to see how it goes, but we'll roll out experimental format availability to all organizers shortly after this event.

What is Beyblade Burst?
[Image: gnJ23kG.png]
Beyblade Burst is the brand new, third generation of Beyblade by TAKARA-TOMY! It launched in 2015 in Japan and Hasbro is set to launch it in North America in 2016. If you are not familiar with Beyblade Burst, please take a look at the Beyblade Wiki article covering it, the Beyblade General Forum, and the Beyblade Burst Hasbro Topic for the most up to date information about Hasbro's release of the series internationally.
Don't have any Beyblades from this new series? No problem! It's likely that people will have some on hand for sale, and if not, we would be glad to lend one to you for the duration of the event!
Spread the Word!

Side Note
We'd advise users to please, please look after your stuff. While yes this is a Beyblade tournament and we're not suggesting that any of us would attempt to take each other's stuff it is still happening at a public venue where other people (who may not be so friendly) are going to be present as well. Of course, if you see a personal belonging lying around bring it up any of the judges so we can return it to the right person. Your co-operation is appreciated!
All questions for this tournament may be asked in this thread!

Yeah, we're all really hoping they release it at Fan Expo. If they do, hopefully we can attract a few con-goers over to play.
If not and you don't have any parts to play with yet, we'd be happy to let you borrow some of ours!

But it's not confirmed.
