These are the official BBA rules for Beyblade Battles. You probably already know about these but this is just what you could call a reminder.
Basic Beyblade Rules of Play
All Beyblade battles must occur in a Beystadium! Beystadium's cannot be on a table or other elevated surface.
To begin official Beyblade battles, Beyblade tops must be launched after the signal of 3,2,1...LET IT RIP!
Only one launch of the Beyblade can be made per battle, the battle ends when one top stops spinning.
If a player touches the opponent during the oppponents blade launch, the player will loose 1 point.
The player scores 1 point if the opponent does not launch his/her top into the Beystadium.
If the player's top enters one of the three penalty pockets anytime during battle, his/her opponent scores 2 points (max score of 2 points per battle).
The player scores 1 point if his/her top spins longer than opponent's top.
If the player touches the Beystadium during battle, the opponent scores 3 points and the battle is immediately over.
Compete in multiple battles, the player with 7 or more points at the completion of a battle wins!
