In this format of tournament, each blader will be eligible to use a total of 4 Beyblades. This includes 3 Beyblades that make up your main deck, with the important rule that all Beyblades must be unique, meaning no repeating parts are allowed within your main deck. Additionally, each player will have 1 sideboard Beyblade, which is an extra Beyblade that is fully unique and also cannot share any parts with those in the main deck.

Regarding sideboarding, between matches you are allowed to switch out any one component—whether it be the blade, ratchet, or bit—with any component from your main deck combos and then battle as usual. However, after every set, both your deck and sideboard must be returned to their original setup before moving on to the next opponent.

During the Swiss rounds, the sideboard will not be used at all. You are free to switch your combos between matches as long as every combination remains unique without repeated parts. Each match in the Swiss format is a best-of-one, with the goal being to get the first to five points. There will be only 5 rounds in the Swiss phase, and notably, players only need to achieve two wins in order to be placed into the bracket phase.

For the bracket decision, a minimum of two points is required to enter the single-elimination bracket. Any player finishing with zero points will be eliminated from the tournament. Once you enter the bracket phase, your decks will be locked in, meaning no further changes are allowed throughout the rest of the bracket. Sideboarding can be used again in bracket matches, which will be played as best two out of three. Additionally, during these bracket matches, each point scored will count as double for both wins and losses, adding an extra level of stakes to the battles.
