More rules:
There is no way to transfer Burst Points between avatars except through combat. While it is possible to offer and accept a Draw during a fight before the time runs out, it is unknown if one can offer technical victory to their opponent.
If that is not possible, then allowing someone to take Burst Points from you requires letting them beat you to "death" or waiting 30 minutes after inflicting a scratch. This would be a very inefficient method, which would serve to constantly remind the participants that Brain Burst is a competitive fighting game in which everyone is expected to fight for themselves, and earn points for themselves.
At the same time, this restrictive inefficiency can also be considered a form of protection, as it makes it that much harder and more inconvenient for someone to extort and coerce Burst Points away from others. It is one more opportunity for a Burst Linker in bad straits to defend themselves from thieves.
Enhanced armaments are normally equipped and unequipped by working the menu interface of one's avatar. However, voice-command phrases can be programmed so that one can bypass the menu and directly change equipment in the middle of a fight.
In duels, the Level of an opponent is indeed displayed next to their name... but only in the Light Novels. (Then again, I'm going by Black Lotus' display; perhaps it's different for Level 9 players, for whom Level is a matter of life-and-death.)
For duels, members of the watching gallery cannot approach within 10 meters of either of the combatants. However, the Parent, Child or fellow legion members may approach a duelist as closely as they wish (unless this would bring them within 10 meters of an opponent for whom no such relationship exists).
In duels, members of the gallery can shout advice either or both of the duelists, though this is frowned upon in Accel World's society.
Gallery members cannot affect the environment at all; this makes for inconvenient viewing when the only way to follow a fight would be to make your own doorway through a wall.
An individual Burst Linker can initiate a duel with a tag team of Burst Linkers, but a tag team cannot do the same to individual Burst Linkers. It is unspecified but possible that a tag team can issue a challenge request to an individual Burst Linker, which the individual is under no obligation to accept.
In fact, tag teams cannot even initiate duels with other tag teams. All challenges must be made as requests, and all such requests can be rejected.
It is also unspecificed whether or not an individual Burst Linker can initiate a duel against just one member of a tag team. If this is not possible, then forming tag-teams provides a limited form of protection against random challenges. Safety in numbers, even "below" the Unlimited Neutral Field.
There is, however, a definite incentive for individual Burst Linkers to challenge whole tag teams. In regards to tag teams, the total levels of team-members are figured when rewarding/deducting points. Even assuming that Rust Jigsaw (Level 6) could challenge Blood Leopard and Silver Crow seperately after they teamed up, he could have only gotten a pittance of a reward from Silver Crow (Level 4) and just 10 points from Leopard. But if he defeated them both together, the reward would have been as if they were a single Level 10 opponent; a much bigger payoff.
By the same token, the total Level 10 of that team meant that the Level 6 Jigsaw would not lose many points for being defeated himself.
Therefore, if an individual Burst Linker happens to be accelerated and checking the matching list of his area, and sees a tag team whose members the Linker thinks he can beat at the same time, he might be wise to go for it.
It also is unspecificed whether initiating a duel with a tag team counts against the limit of initiating only one duel against a specific Burst Linker per day. There may be a limit to how many fights specific tag-teams may fight against other specific tag-teams.
