After signing in, players enter a timed phase where they face everyone listed on the sheet using a single Beyblade X. Each matchup ends when one player reaches five points, with scoring set at one for a stamina out, two for a burst, two for a pocket, and three for an extreme finish. Wins are marked next to each name, and once the timer ends the four highest totals move on to the semifinals. Semifinals use a 3v3 format with three different Beyblades, and competitors switch to a new Beyblade after every point. The final takes place in a stadium selected by the tournament organizer. The winner receives a free brownie and a game card.
