Section 03

Workshop: Building Combos

The Workshop is where you build and manage your Beyblade combinations. Before entering tournaments, you'll want combos saved here.

Creating a Combo

  • Navigate to Workshop (swipe up from bottom bar, tap Workshop)
  • Tap the + button or start building in the combo builder
  • Select parts for each slot: Blade, Ratchet, and Bit
  • For 5-part CX combos, the builder will show additional slots for Main Blade, Assist Blade, and Lock Chip
  • Tap Save to add the combo to your collection

Voice Input

Tap the microphone icon and speak your combo naturally:

"Shark Edge 3-60 Taper"

The app parses and fills in the parts automatically — great for quickly building multiple combos. Works for CX too.

Cases System

Organize your combos into Cases — think of them as folders:

  • Create cases like "Tournament Ready," "Testing," or "Stamina Builds"
  • Add combos to cases for easy access during battles
  • Cases sync to the cloud across your devices

For Tournaments: 3v3 format requires exactly 3 combos in your deck. Make sure to save at least 3 combos before registering.

Section 04

Tournament: Running Events

The Tournament room is the heart of competitive play. Whether you're a player joining an event or an organizer running one, this is where it happens.

Creating a Tournament (Organizers)

  • Navigate to Tournament room
  • Tap Create Tournament
  • Load a Program from Holodeck
  • The Program sets all match rules and tournament structure automatically
  • Share the QR code with players for registration

The New Flow (v1.5.6+)

Tournament progression is now driven by a single floating action button (FAB) that always shows the next logical action:

Register Players Start Tournament Generate Rounds Advance Stages Complete

No need to manually trigger round generation or figure out when to advance. The FAB tells you what to do next.

Role-Based Views

Role What You See
Player Your matches, standings, and deck management
Judge Assigned matches, combo verification, match submission
Organizer Full control — tables, queue, player management, round generation

Shōmen (Organizer Command Center)

As an organizer, access Shōmen from the bottom bar for advanced controls:

  • Setup: Tournament settings, QR code, add/remove players
  • Management: Judge assignments, manual pairing overrides
  • Results: Standings, match history, WBO export

WBO Ranked Auto: For WBO events, use "WBO Ranked Auto" staging. The tournament structure automatically configures based on player count — 16 players gets Swiss 5R → Top 8, 40 players gets Swiss 6R → Top 16, etc.

Section 05

Arena: Scoring Battles

The Arena is where battles are scored. It works for casual practice, testing sessions, and official tournament matches.

Scoring Points

Tap the finish type under the winning player's side:

1
Spin Finish
2
Burst Finish
2
Over Finish
3
Extreme Finish

Ring Out behavior depends on tournament settings — either redo the round or award configurable points.

3v3 Deck System

In tournament mode with 3v3 format:

  • Each player's current combo is displayed as a card on screen
  • Tap the winning combo card, then tap the finish type
  • The next combo in the deck becomes active automatically
  • When prompted, shuffle decks to match the physical order (or use Smart Shuffle and match that)

Side Tray & Deck Dock

Access your cases and combos without leaving the battle screen:

  • Side Tray: Swipe from the edge to access your combo cases
  • Deck Dock: Manage your with live part swapping through drag-and-drop

Match Completion

When one player reaches the point goal:

  • Tap "Submit" to confirm the match result
  • Results save to the tournament automatically
  • Player records update in real-time
  • You're returned to the tournament view

Important: Match results sync in real-time. Make sure you have a stable internet connection during tournaments.

Section 06

Tips & Help

Before Your Tournament

  • Run a practice tournament with test players first (use the "Generate Test Players" option from Bottom Bar "More")
  • Make sure all judges understand the Arena scoring flow
  • Test the QR code registration with a friend
  • Have a backup scoring method ready just in case

Common Issues

Can't see the navigation drawer? Make sure you're swiping up from the bottom bar itself, not just the bottom of the screen. You can also tap the Bottom Bar's "Rooms" button at any time.

Tournament not advancing? Check that all matches in the current round are complete. The FAB will show the next action when ready.

Match not saving? Check your internet connection. Results sync to the server in real-time — poor connectivity can cause delays.

Feedback & Bug Reports

Found a bug or have a suggestion?

  • Take a screenshot of the issue if possible
  • Note what you were doing when it happened
  • Send feedback via Discord or email to contact@inertia.cx

Remember: This is beta software. Your feedback directly shapes what we build next.
