   • However, this does not apply only in cases where the handle of the string launcher or string touches the stadium after the shoot, provided the judge determines it does not affect the battle.
9. In the event of disqualification, past match results will not be overturned for any reason. Disqualification takes effect from the point it is discovered.
   • In cases where it is impossible to determine any finishing move, such as when a Bey exits the stadium from a location other than the Over Zone or Xtreme Zone and cannot return to the battle zone, the battle may be replayed at the discretion of the judge.
