Beyblade X Rules & Scoring Explained

Beyblade X matches are decided on points, and different finishes are worth different amounts. Knowing the scoring changes how you build — and how you launch.

The four finishes

• Spin Finish — 1 point. Your bey is still spinning when the opponent's stops. The stamina player's bread and butter.
• Over Finish — 1 point. You knock the opponent out of the battle zone (or they exit on their own).
• Burst Finish — 2 points. The opponent's bey bursts apart — blade, ratchet and bit separating mid-battle.
• Xtreme Finish — 3 points. The signature X finish: you knock the opponent out through the Xtreme Zone after riding the Xtreme Line rail. High risk, highest reward.

Winning a match

In official Takara Tomy tournament play, matches are typically played to 4 points; casual and store rules often use first-to-3. Our Battle Lab simulates first-to-3 by default (BX-15 tournament ruleset). Either way, the math is the same: one clean Xtreme Finish can win a match on the spot, while a stamina bey needs three or four separate wins.

What this means for combo building

• Attack combos are point-efficient. Xtreme (3) and Burst (2) finishes mean an attacker can lose more rounds than it wins and still take the match.
• Stamina combos must be reliable. At 1 point per Spin Finish, a stamina build needs to win nearly every round. One burst against you can erase two wins.
• Burst resistance matters more than it looks. Free-spinning and low-teeth ratchets trade burst risk for performance — check your ratchet's burst rating in our Database.

Quick etiquette & legality notes

• Both players launch simultaneously on the call — "3, 2, 1, Go-Shoot!"
• The bey must rotate when it leaves the launcher; misfires and no-spins are re-launched.
• Parts must be unmodified official parts. Sanding, gluing, or weighting parts is illegal in sanctioned play.
• If both beys stop or exit at effectively the same time, the round is a draw and is re-battled.
