Long-Term Vision

Here are additional guidelines to aid us in arranging these tournaments. Suggestions only.

1. Selecting Suitable Venues

We will target regional capitals for hosting the events. This includes all major T1 cities such as Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata, and a handful of T2 cities depending on demand.

Players from anywhere can join any event and participate to get their official PowerScore updated.

Venues will be indoors with AC. There will be a focus on casual battling as well, apart from the main Ranked Events. For example, before and after the main Ranked Events, the stadiums will be free on a first-come, first-served basis that might or might not have judges assigned to them.

Stall areas are a must because we plan to start with sponsors. These areas will have a basic setup and allow sellers to have their stock on display. Sellers can also choose to accept pre-orders through a digital catalog. The management will first vet every seller before allowing them to appear, to avoid cases of complaints.

2. Prizes & People Management

All events will have prizes based on funding received and the type of tournament it is. They will be specifically imported. Sellers/resellers will be free to sponsor prizes as well.

All events will require volunteers or organizers. The main Tournament Organizers (TO) will be from the core team. The TOs will have the final say in all matters related to the venue and associated with the event. The registration form will include the player’s consent to agree to the TO’s decisions in matters related to maintaining calm, security, logistics, etc.

TOs can participate in the tournament too but if they do, they cannot have any judging capacity in the whole event. For example, if a tournament has 4 TOs and two want to play as well, the other two can judge. If all 4 want to play, a different judge will be appointed. Judges cannot participate in the same format or bracket they are judging. If a judge wants to play, they must be fully removed from judging duties for that format.

Anyone can volunteer to be a judge. We’ll flesh out the specific requirements for judging when we have enough support from the community.

Major judge or organizer decisions should be recorded after the event where possible, especially disqualifications, safety bans, and leaderboard-affecting calls. Organizer discretion is final, but it must be documented for accountability. The “final call” veto is mainly for solving management issues—venue, safety, logistics, etc., that don’t affect players and PS directly. Anything that affects players and PS directly must be grounded in reason and documented for later review.

3. Handling the Finances

No entry fee to be charged. We would rather have sellers sell their items and pay an amount than have Bladers pay to enjoy the hobby. Those who make money should bear the costs (Beyblade sellers can make money from sales, so they will bear costs). The players are not making money; in fact, they are spending on expenses and parts. And without bladers, there’s no Beyblading. Our aim is to encourage Beyblading.

4. Aiding the Community

The Beyblade community in India requires help across the spectrum. From something simple like identifying fakes or doing price checks to the complexities of importing and guidance for competitive Beyblade customizations.

With no central system in place, those who have contacts have it much easier than someone who’s new to the hobby. This is the #1 reason why there’s a barrier to entry.

More experienced members of the Beyblade community don’t fully understand the problems of today’s bladers or new collectors/bladers. Having our tournament as a physical community will allow us to dedicate a lot of time from the official members to help newcomers.

5. Neutrality & Focus

We’ll avoid saturating our management with two types of harmful things: Kids throwing tantrums and big people politics. Our focus will be on Beyblade as a hobby first. After all, that’s what it is. Our second focus will be getting more people into competitive Beyblade.

6. Bringing Talent Together

From creative artists and competitive bladers to seasoned Beyblade experts, content creators, innovators, and collectors—our community is huge. We will always find new ways to bring talent together so everyone gets a taste of what different people are achieving and learn how they’re helping the hobby. As we expand, our venues will open more spots where other talented individuals, not just competitive Bladers, can showcase their creations, abilities, skills, and inventory.
