GO SHOOT!

About

Built by Bladers, for organized play.

Independent, fan-driven, community-first.

What Go Shoot! is

Go Shoot! is an independent companion app for the global Blader community. It helps players plan their decks, organizers run tournaments, and referees keep matches moving — all from a single, fast interface that works in the browser today and on iOS/Android soon. Think of it as the back-office your local scene already builds in spreadsheets, paper brackets and shared notes, finally consolidated into one tool that respects how the game is actually played.

We do not sell, distribute or replace physical product. Go Shoot! is a software layer that sits next to your tops, your launchers and your local rules. Everything it tracks — decks, results, tournaments, locations — exists to make the next match easier to set up and the season easier to follow. The app is free to start and includes a paid Pro tier and an Event Organizer tier for the teams running competitive events at scale; pricing details are listed on the Pricing page.

Why we are building it

The competitive Beyblade scene is bigger than most people outside of it realize. Local clubs run weekly meetups, regional WBO-style events bring dozens of players together, and online tournaments now span multiple time zones. Despite all this energy, the tooling has stayed stuck in 2010: pen-and-paper brackets, screenshots of match results, deck sheets traded in Discord servers, no consistent way to discover what is happening near you.

We started Go Shoot! because we ran tournaments ourselves, and we got tired of stitching together five different tools every Saturday morning. The first version was a deck builder we wrote for our own group. The second version added a tournament organizer because spreadsheets kept losing rows. The third version — the one you can use today — added an online tournament mode and a map of nearby events so newcomers could actually find a place to play. Each step has been driven by a real problem we hit at a real event.

What is in the app right now

  • Deck Builder — manage your 3-part decks, track Blade / Ratchet / Bit combinations across multiple format rotations, and save the variants you actually want to test.
  • Combo Library — keep a personal catalogue of builds you have run, with notes on which matchups they handle and which they don’t.
  • Tournament Organizer — set up brackets, manage participant rosters, and run rounds without losing track of byes, no-shows or disputed matches.
  • Referee Mode — a focused interface for live scoring, designed so a referee can keep one finger on the screen and both eyes on the stadium.
  • Online Tournaments — host or join remote events with players in other cities and other countries.
  • Find Nearby Tournaments — a map of upcoming community events, populated by the organizers themselves.

Who builds Go Shoot!

Go Shoot! is developed and maintained by David Gargaro, working under the Zazalab banner. The team is small on purpose: small teams ship faster, listen better, and don’t need committee approval to fix the things that obviously need fixing. The technical stack is Flutter for the apps, a static marketing site for everything you’re reading right now, and Firebase for the parts that have to be online.

Behind every feature there is a thread on a Discord server, an email from a tournament organizer, or a note scribbled on the back of a bracket sheet at the end of a long event. If you have ideas, we genuinely want to hear them: email us at zazalabsdev@gmail.com, or reach out on Instagram.

How we think about your data

The app is designed to collect the minimum amount of information needed to do its job. Account data, tournaments, decks and match results are stored to keep the service working; geolocation is only requested when you use the map; the camera is only requested when you scan QR codes for a tournament. We do not sell user data. The full GDPR-compliant breakdown is in the Privacy Policy, and the cookies used by the marketing site are listed in the Cookie Policy.

Our relationship with the Beyblade brand

This deserves a clear answer up front. Go Shoot! is an unofficial, fan-made project. It is not produced, endorsed, sponsored or affiliated with Hasbro, Takara Tomy, the World Beyblade Organization or any other entity that owns or licenses the Beyblade brand. We do not use official artwork or logos, we do not redistribute first-party media, and we do not claim ownership of the Beyblade trademark or any related marks. References to product names exist only because the game we are building tools for has names — and naming the parts of a deck is the only way to talk about decks.

If you represent a rights-holder and need to discuss anything related to the project, please write to zazalabsdev@gmail.com. We respond.

How the project is funded

Go Shoot! is funded by a mix of small ad revenue on the marketing pages (Google AdSense), the upcoming paid tiers (Pro and Event Organizer), and the occasional Ko-fi tip from people who want to support the work directly. The web app and the mobile app are intentionally kept ad-free; only the public marketing pages display advertising. We think that is the right trade-off: keep the playing surface clean, accept a banner on the brochure.
