Basic Beyblade Rules of Play:

1. All Beyblade battles must occur in Beystadium! -- Beystadium cannot be on a table or other elevated surfaces
2. To begin official Beyblade battles, Beyblade tops must be launched after the signal of 3,2,1 LET IT RIP!
3. Only one launch per battle -- battle ends when there is only one top left spinning
4. If player touches opponent during opponent's launch of top, player loses 1 point
5. Player scores 1 point if opponent does not launch top into the Beystadium
6. If player's top enters one of the three penalty pockets anytime during battle, opponent scores 2 points (max score of 2 points per battle)
7. Player scores 1 point if his/her top spins longer than opponent's top
8. If player touches Beystadium during battle, opponent scores 3 points-battle immediately over
9. Compete in multiple battles-the player with 7 or more points at the completion of a battle wins!
