Beyblade News

• There is a Search function for private messages!!
  
• Videos can now easily be embedded into posts.
  
• Users currently reading a thread can be seen on the page of the topic.
  
• No more accidental, automatic double-posting for Internet Explorer users!
  
• In the Member List, you can smoothly choose the letter a member's username begins with instead of going through the pages to reach that letter eventually.
  
• The time of long quotes with several messages in them is gone! There will now be a limit of 2 quoted messages per quote.
  
• We will have an easy and fast way to delete all of a banned user's posts, if we ever get such bad times again.
  
• If we are ever to use prefixes again, there should be no technical problem with them not showing up sometimes since they will now be directly integrated in the system.
  
• This issue wasn't so spread, but avatars that were just changed will now automatically be recognised by everybody's browser, insteaf of temporarily showing the old avatar until you actually refresh a page where the user with that avatar has posted.
  

• New Credits Campaign: Blader Rewards
  
• Face Contest: Design a Beyblade, Space Style!
  
• Face Trading
  

• All discussions of actual Face Trading must be done in private messages. This means that we should not see comments like this in any thread: “Hey, User1, would you like to trade your Dragoon Face for my Driger Face?” Send a private message directly to that user instead of making a post about it on a public forum.
  
• Once the two of you have agreed on what you want to trade, both of you need to contact Hazel so that we can make sure that both members agree with this exchange, and so we know what will be exchanged. Please try not to fill his inbox, only send one message each!
  
• We’d like to set a limit of two trades per user per month. Choose wisely when you look at the possible Faces you could get!
  
• The only Faces eligible for trading are Faces obtained from Face Boosters exclusively. Obviously nobody in their right mind would exchange a Lapis Lazuli Face for a Dranzer Face.

• All rule updates outlined in "3.6" have been added to this release. Please see this thread for details regarding those updates.
  
• The Super Attack Stadium is no longer legal in the Standard Format.
  
• The Triple Battle Type Stadium is now legal for all formats.
  
• The following passage has been added to the Stalling Clause description:
  

  Stalling Clause Wrote:This clause can only last a maximum of four minutes, after which both Bladers must be ready to initiate the BeyBattle. Unless due to a technical issue (i.e. a Blader cannot find a Tool to assemble their Beyblade), any longer delay will be counted as an automatic loss of the BeyBattle by the Blader causing the delay. The judge should demonstrate reasonable discretionary power.

• A BeyLauncher LR section has been added to help clarify its use:
  

  BeyLauncher LR Wrote:The Beylauncher LR must be used with its cap.
  
  Spin direction can be changed on the Beylauncher LR in between rounds, but it may not be changed when a Beyblade is already attached to one of its sets of prongs. This rule applies to all dual-spin launchers.

• A Rev Up Launcher section has been added to help clarify its use:
  

  Rev Up Launcher Wrote:The Rev-Up Launcher must be used either in the same method as with a Beylauncher, or with its proper use, by revving it up.
  
  This launcher can only be revved during the countdown, before “Shoot!” or “rip!” are said.

• The bolded in the following quote has been added to the "Rules of Shooting" section:
  

  Rules of Shooting Wrote:Each Blader is allowed only the space of half the BeyStadium while preparing to launch and while launching. The limit should be parallel to both Bladers. Any disrespect of this rule, after reasonable warning by the judge, will count as an automatic loss of the round for the offending Blader.
  
  …
  
  If a winder-based Launcher is being used, a legal launch consists of the winder being pulled out of the shooter, rather than pushed in.

• In the "Selection of Beyblade and Launcher" section, this:
  
  

  Selection of Beyblade and Launcher Wrote:Once the Beyblade is attached to the Launcher, that Beyblade must be used for the duration of the BeyBattle.

  
  Has been updated to the following:
  

  Selection of Beyblade and Launcher Wrote:Once the Beyblade is attached to a Launcher, that Beyblade must be used for the duration of the BeyBattle.

• The Reshoot Clause description has been updated to include the following:
  

  Reshoot Clause Wrote:When this clause is invoked, the Blader and their opponent may also change their launchers if they wish (the opposing Blader may only replace his or her launcher if the Blader invoking the Reshoot Clause chooses to do so him/herself). The replacement launchers must be of the same spin direction as the launcher that their Beyblade was previously attached to (ie. If the Blader was using a Light Launcher 2 previously, they must replace it with something such as the BeyLauncher, or the BeyLauncher LR in right spin mode).

• The BeyLauncher L section has been updated slightly to cover all left-spin/dual-spin Beyblades, rather than just L Drago or Lightning L Drago:
  

  BeyLauncher L Wrote:The BeyLauncher L is designed to be compatible with left-spin or dual-spin Beyblades only.
  You may not use the BeyLauncher-L to make other Wheels spin counter-clockwise.
  
  Likewise, for any launchers with a set of single-spin prongs, you may not use left-spin prongs for right-spin-only Beyblades, and vice-versa with left-spin only Beyblades on right- spin prongs. For instance, L Drago and Lightning L-Drago pertain to the second category. Gravity Perseus and Vari Ares are the only Beyblades that can use both spin rotations.

BeyBattle Wrote:The opposing Beyblade breaking or separating ends the BeyBattle and affords you an
automatic win for the BeyBattle.

BeyBattle Wrote:The opposing Beyblade breaking or separating ends the BeyBattle and affords you an automatic win for the BeyBattle. If both Beyblades are found to have broken at the same time, both Bladers may choose new Beyblades, and the BeyBattle will be reset.

Selection of Beyblade and Launcher Wrote:The Blader's Beyblade selection is to be considered undecided until the Beyblade is attached to the Launcher. Once the Beyblade is attached to the Launcher, that Beyblade must be used for the duration of the BeyBattle.

Selection of Beyblade and Launcher Wrote:Note: If using a Beyblade that has multiple modes, it is illegal to change the mode of the part(s) if you have to separate or disassemble the Beyblade in any way to do so. This means that parts such as Lightning L Drago and BD145–which require the Beyblade to be disassembled in order to change modes–cannot be changed during a single BeyBattle. However, you may legally change the modes of parts such as CH120, TH170, and HF/S as many times as you like during a single BeyBattle.

• The Libra Wheel is now legal!
  
• If you invoke the Reshoot Clause, you must now get your replacement approved by the judge, and the replacement part must be in the same condition as the original part was. Therefore, if you change RF, it should be as worn as the other one was.
  
• The Open Format now does not exist. We found that processing battles done within that format was just not as fair or even comparable competitively as processing matches from the Standard Format, for instance. It’s not like anyone has really been doing tournaments using the past Beyblade series anyway…
  
• A note was added about the red, Balance floor of the Standard Type BeyStadium being legal, although that was generally always known.
