So, do you think you have what it takes? BEYBLADE REVOLUTION will be open to the public, but if you don't live near Toronto, you can earn paid travel expenses to Toronto by winning a tournament in the WBO North American Championship Qualifier Series!

All tournaments are ZERO-G Format.

Ruling Clarification:

Spoiler (Click to View)

A small clarification/reminder:

• Zero-G Format ‣ In this format, all Beyblades from the Metal Fight Beyblade system (August 2008
onwards, onto Zero-G) are legal. However, only Zero-G Stadiums may be used.

Some members have been mistakenly thinking that only ZERO-G Beyblades are legal for the ZERO-G Format; this is incorrect. All Metal Fight Beyblades are legal. Please be sure to read over the WBO Rulebooks if you have any other questions/doubts.

This list is likely not final, so please stay tuned for updates about more qualifiers in the coming days/weeks!

What do Qualifiers win?
Winners of these tournaments will receive the following:

• Paid travel expenses, by plane or bus (whichever is cheapest) to ANIME NORTH 2013 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada for BEYBLADE REVOLUTION.
  
• An ANIME NORTH 2013 Pass
  

Qualifiers will be responsible for finding/paying for accommodations in Toronto, but we will work closely with each of you to make sure that you find somewhere suitable. Additionally, the winner will be required to consult with the Committee before booking their flight/bus, and then after approval, provide a booking confirmation to the WBO Committee before they can provide reimbursement for the traveling costs.

Mandatory $5 Entry Fee = More Qualifiers + Extra Credits + Free Face Booster!
To help subsidize the high cost of flying/busing the qualifiers to Toronto, a mandatory $5 entry fee will be imposed on all Qualifier Series tournaments, regardless of whether or not a participant has a Blader Passport, and there will be no prize reimbursement apart from the travel expenses for the winner. We hope that everyone can understand this! The more funds we have, the bigger this championship will be! However, to show our appreciation for your cooperation and support in helping to fund the championship, all participants in Qualifier Series tournaments will receive the following:

• The limited edition, commemorative Revolution Face: [Image: revolutionfacev2.png]
  
• +1 Extra Credit to be used for prizes from our awesome Blader Rewards, on top of whatever they would have normally earned.
  
• One of these Face Boosters:
  -Face Booster RED [Image: faceboosterred.png]
  -Face Booster BLUE [Image: faceboosterblue.png]
  -Face Booster GREEN [Image: faceboostergreen.png]
  -Face Booster ORANGE [Image: faceboosterorange.png]
  -Face Booster YELLOW [Image: FaceBoosterIconYellow.png]
  -Face Booster PURPLE [Image: FaceBoosterIconPurple.png]
  
• Current Passport Holders will earn +2 Extra Credits, rather than +1, 2 Face Boosters from the list above, rather than just 1, and they will be entered into an exclusive Passport Holder Only BeyLotto!:

This is almost certainly going to be a one time thing, so if you can somehow make it, do it!!

If you can prove to us that there would be enough participants for a Qualifier in Chicago, we would definitely consider it if you submit a proposal within the next week or two.

This is so awesome! Too bad there isn't a tournament in CA. I also like the idea of giving a WBO Shirt and BB-10! I also can't wait until BeyDays! Hopefully there will be a tourney in my area when it happens.

"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. The new needs friends. Last night, I experienced something new: an extraordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions about fine cooking is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core. In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau's famous motto, "Anyone can cook." But I realize, only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist; but a great artist can come from anywhere."

-Anton Ego/Peter O'Toole (1932-2013)

lol too bad I can't go to the qualifiers well at at least I hope that whoever represents PR doesn't loose on the first round cause here almost everyone has the I-suck-at-beyblade dissease

We've contacted poliswag to host in Los Angeles, so hopefully we should have something confirmed within the next few days!

We're actually waiting on a response from [Pyro] for the New York Qualifier. So, stay tuned for details on that.

Why can't you go? D:

This is the biggest news I've ever seen on the WBO. Maybe if I get a tournament in IN soon, we could have a qualifier. What I'd do to compete in this.

still posi

Can't go because my parents have a non-important appointment that day and I can't get them to postpone it I have some luck

This is the biggest news I've ever seen on the WBO. Maybe if I get a tournament in IN soon, we could have a qualifier. What I'd do to compete in this.

It'd have to be within the next month and a bit (we need time to organize everything once we have a list of qualifiers), so you should start gathering Bladers like ... now!

Can we attend more then 1 regional?

Qualifier, you mean? Yes, of course. However, if somebody wins two qualifiers, the 2nd/3rd Place finishers of the second qualifier they won will battle for the paid travel expenses/AN Pass instead, under the same format that would have normally been played between the top two finishers. Do you understand?

Also, if certain qualifiers in highly active areas within busing distance of Toronto end up being successful, there may even be a second one in those areas depending on how quickly it can happen.

Hot damn! This is just what I need; another incentive to go to AN! The closest one to me is the one in Richmond, so if I want a chance at going, I had better do some major convincing.

Then again, I have no experience with the Zero-G format. Eh, there's a first time for everything!

can they have one in GA? I really want one there, I missed the north carolina games summit.

That's up to the Georgia members to decide. If you/they can gather enough participants and find a suitable host, then we can consider hosting one there as a part of the WBO North American Championship Qualifier Series.

How comes there aren't any tournaments in Turks and Caicos Islands.

How comes there aren't any tournaments in Turks and Caicos Islands.

Because there has been no active WBO Beyblade community down there, up until this point at least.

I really wish that there can be an NJ/ PA/ NY qualifier's tournament because that'd stir up a lot of bladers. The only thing is, it'd have to be in a range where it'd be easily reached by all three states. I think NJ because it's in between PA and NY and both railway services meet there. the thing is, PA members that would take the train would have to change trains in Trenton station. I think probably in Hamilton NJ but that's just my thinking. Kei what do you think?
