American Tournament (2000)

The third qualifying event on the Beyblade: 2000 anime's road to that year's World Championships, following the Japanese and Asian tournaments. Before the bracket proper begins, an exhibition match puts three celebrities against three competing bladers, decided across three separate one-on-one battles. The Bladebreakers go on to beat the PPB All Starz for the title, with several other teams — Spintensity, Down Under Thunder, Savage Slammers and the Renegades — eliminated along the way.
