Coming off an incredibly successful 2009, the new Season 3 toy line launches this month due to high demand from brawlers who can’t wait to expand their collections, learn new game strategies, and gain an advantage over their friends with the latest brawling gear.

Adding to the excitement of the new toy line this Spring, the Season 3 Bakugan line marks a new era in Bakugan battling with the launch of an all new, and free, Bakugan online game – Bakugan Dimensions! Every Season 3: Gundalian Invaders Bakugan and Bakugan Battle Gear will come equipped with an exciting new heat activated online access code that magically appears by rubbing it with your finger. Once the code has been unveiled, players may enter it online at www.bakugan.com where that specific Bakugan character will appear in Bakugan Dimensions so you can battle online against people from around the world. Players can also create and personalize their own Bakugan brawler, chat with friends, show off their Bakugan collection, and more.

Starting April 1st all Season 3: Gundalian Invaders access codes entered online at www.bakugan.com will automatically be entered to win one of four, Bakugan Season 3: Gundalian Invaders prize packs.

“Bakugan Dimensions will be a great place for kids to enjoy a fun, safe and free virtual world where they can show off their collection, game knowledge and test battling skills online,” said Ronnie Frankowski, Vice President, Marketing with Spin Master Ltd. “Bakugan is hotter than ever and we are excited to bring fans the best Bakugan experience yet in both its new virtual world and the toy world so kids can engage in epic Bakugan battles anytime, anyplace, against anyone – worldwide!”

Featuring four cool new designs, each Battle Gear comes with one metal Gate Card and one Ability Card.

This Spring will also deliver an exciting new collection of Bakugan Super Assault characters – new incredibly designed and coloured Bakugan transforming spheres each with a super powered special ability such as a dice throwing ability, spinning feature or vibrating mechanism.

Each division will take a maximum of 8 players.

Prizes: First of all, we will no longer have door prizes. Instead however, prizes will go to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd players for EACH division. So that’s 9 prizes all around! We’ll also have a small surprise for all participants who attend. Also, prizes will be handed out as each division ends.

Training Days: We’ve got 3 training days planned for kids and parents to learn how to play the game or just get practice. We will also be using the training days to gauge which division each player should belong in. These workshops are FREE and we highly recommend attending one.

Trading Day: We’ve also had requests for a Bakugan Trading day, so we’ve decided that we’ll give it a try. The trading day will take place at the same time as the Workshop on Tuesday August 4th. Kids will be free to trade bakugan and cards, but all trades will have to go through either parents (of both children) or a staff member. This is to make sure all trades are fair (No Tigrerra’s for Metalfencers).

Games Played: In the past, some tournaments would get in more games than other because of how fast or slow some games went. From now on, to ensure steady progress and not too much time spent waiting, the tournament will comprise of 3 rounds (lasting 30 minutes) with 15 minutes between each round.

Time Limit: When time is called, each player will have 5 shots left to try to win or get as many gate cards as they can. At the end of the 5 shots, the player with the most gate cards wins. In case of ties, it will go to a shootout.

Bakugan Tournament: Bakutrap Rules

June 22, 2009

BakuTrap Bakugan

We’re been getting asked how Bakugan Traps are going to work for the tournament, so we figure it’s time to let everybody know. here are the official rules taken from the Bakugan.com website itself:

3.01: What is a Bakugan Trap?
Normal Bakugan are round and they roll. Bakugan Traps are not round. They come in all kinds of shapes and sizes like football, pyramid, coin, cube, drum, and tetradecahedron.

3.02: How many Bakugan Trap can I use in a game?
You can use up to one Trap in your unused pile at the start of a game. It goes in with your three Gate cards, three ability cards, and three Bakugan.

3.03: How do you play a Bakugan Trap?

You may play one of your Trap during a battle as long as the Trap and Bakugan have the same attribute. For example, if you are using a Pyrus Bakugan in that battle you need to use a Pyrus Trap.

To play your Trap during a battle, take it from your unused pile and drop it onto the Gate Card engaged in battle. When it opens up you will see one or more attribute symbols revealed inside it. You will now change the attribute of your Bakugan to any one of the attributes printed inside your Trap.
Some Bakugan Traps have one hidden attribute symbol. Some have two hidden attribute symbols or more.

Only when you’ve run out of Bakugan in your unused pile and are about to roll should you move your Trap back to your unused pile.

Also included with your Bakugan Trap are their very own ability cards. When you combine the affects of the Trap with the affects of their Ability Cards the power can be devastating.

3.04: How come some Traps have a repeated attribute? Does it do anything special?
Traps with duplicate attributes printed on them do nothing extra special. They work the same as a regular Trap.

Okay, so those are the complex rules of how to use traps, but for those who still don’t understand, just follow these simple rules:

1. You don’t roll the traps.

2. Traps are played like ability cards that are used during a battle.

3. Traps have to be the same colour as your bakugan in the battle (you can’t use traps on other peoples bakugan)

4. Traps change your colour to one of the other colours (indicated by the symbols on the trap)

There you have it folks! If there are any other questions, feel free to post an question in the comment box below.

Happy Brawling!
