Dear World Bladers, welcome to the 4th edition of BeyDays!!
In 2009, we had 2 huge tournaments.
In 2010, Italy was added to the lot for 3 huge tournaments.
In 2011, we blew up the numbers with 21 tournaments!
This year, on May 26th and 27th, what does the future hold for us?!
Even before this announcement, eight tournaments had been planned for BeyDays in some of the WBO's most active communities. Here's the current list of BeyDays 2012 events:
May 26th
Toronto, Canada - BEYBLADE CRUSADE 2, at Anime North 2012,
Grand Rapids, Michigan - Grand BeyDay at the Zoo, at John Ball Park,
River Forest, Illinois - MAXIMUM BATTLES 2.0,
Napoli, Italy - Burn It Down, at Volver,
Napoli, Italy - In The End, at Volver,
London, United Kingdom - BeyDays Super Bash, at Regents Park,
Silver Spring, Maryland - The Five Fist BeyDay, at Martin Luther King Jr. Park,
Dublin, Ireland - Call of the Phoenix, at Phoenix Park,
Jakarta, Indonesia - BeyBash: BeyDay MayDay, at Pantai Indah Kapuk,
May 27th
Surabaya, Indonesia - FIGHT CLUB: New Generation, at Volkswagen Showroom,
Manila, Philippines - BeyDay Thunderground, at Albergus Restaurant,
Goldsboro, North Carolina - BeyDay: Day of Champions,
Mumbai, India - BeyDays: Back to Bey-sics, at Sanjay Gandhi National Park,
Hyderabad, India - BeyDays: Blaze in the Haze!, at Sanjeevaiah Park, (Exceptionally on May 28th due to the local strikes)
The United States are back in force this year! But, guys, BeyDays is on May 27th too! And we've only got fourteen events so far!!
In an attempt to bring back in the competition such locations as Sydney, Melbourne, and others, we're re-introducing last year's bonus, as well as adding a new one! No Blader should be excluded from BeyDays, so here's what we want to do:
- Regions who have never hosted a WBO tournament in the past will be able to hold a free event for BeyDays 2012 without the $5 entry fee!
- We will also waive the entry fee for regions that have not hosted an approved tournament in the last five months!
This is your opportunity to boost up your local community and start actively organising events there for everyone. Jump on the chance while you can! The normal entry fee or need for a Blader Passport will reinstated for all areas after BeyDays, so if you've got one weekend to celebrate Beyblade to the fullest, it's now!
If you're interested in hosting a tournament we strongly suggest first checking the WBO General Forum to gauge interest. If you manage to gather enough interest (eight or more Bladers), please post a thread in the Event Proposals Forum we will verify that you're headed in the right direction and will add your event to the list in this thread. If the tournament you host is successful, there are two things you must provide us with for your tournament to be considered "official" (and thus be eligible for Faces, BeyPoints, Credits, the BeyLotto, etc), as we will not be "approving" it officially beforehand:
- At some point during your tournament, take a clear photo of all the participants. This can be posted here on the WBO after the tournament, or PMed to a Committee member for verification.
- Provide us with correctly recorded results so that they can be input into the BeyPoint System. If you need help learning about how Round Robin, Block Round Robin or Double Elimination works, please see the WBO Event Guide for more information. Most importantly, remember, all results must be recorded chronologically and Hasbro stadiums are not legal. See the WBO Official Rules for a list of eligible stadiums.
Your tournament will not become recognized as an officially sanctioned WBO tournament as a part of BeyDays 2012 until both of these requirements have been filled after the tournament has been completed. And just as a note: if your tournament is approved afterwards as "official", we still will not provide any reimbursement for prizes you purchase this time around, simply because nobody will have ended up paying an entry fee at the tournament.
As usual, what's a BeyDays Celebration without an awesome BeyLotto!!
![[Image: beylotto.png]](http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/1588/beylotto.png)
All the Bladers who will have participated in a BeyDays tournament will be entered in this lottery for a chance to win wonderful prizes! In fact, if you enter two BeyDays tournaments (or more if you're that intense!), you'll be entered in the lottery as many times as your number of participations, so don't hold yourself back!
This year, we've decided to do something very special since we've started doing monthly giveaways of the newest products anyway; giving away the same items would be redundant. Therefore, welcome to... choice! That's right, we'll let the first five winners decide exactly what they want to win. You need a Beylauncher Suspension and an Attack Type BeyStadium? GIFT! You want to try out the new Zero-G Beyblades? OK! You want a beautiful Beyblade recolour? WOO!
All we ask is that those first five winners provide us with:
- A list of three wanted Beyblade items;
- The items should be in order of desire;
- The items should be reasonable! The WBO can't always get a yellow Aries Wheel!!
If your top priority is only a Beylauncher Suspension though, be careful, we could be more generous!
But five winners is not enough! Here's the summary of the prizes:
- 1st to 5th Place - Your choice!
- 6th to 10th Place - BBG-09 Zero-G Random Booster Vol. 1 Thief Phoenic E230GCF!
Face Boosters and BeyDays have become synonyms throughout the history of the World Beyblade Organization, so we also want to let the Faces rain, in excess!
The first ten winners will be able to choose one of these too:
-Face Booster GREEN ![[Image: faceboostergreen.png]](http://worldbeyblade.org/uploads/awards/faceboostergreen.png)
-Face Booster ORANGE ![[Image: faceboosterorange.png]](http://worldbeyblade.org/uploads/awards/faceboosterorange.png)
-Face Booster YELLOW ![[Image: FaceBoosterIconYellow.png]](http://worldbeyblade.org/uploads/awards/FaceBoosterIconYellow.png)
-Face Booster PURPLE ![[Image: FaceBoosterIconPurple.png]](http://worldbeyblade.org/uploads/awards/FaceBoosterIconPurple.png)
-Face Booster CRIMSON ![[Image: faceboostercrimson.png]](http://worldbeyblade.org/uploads/awards/faceboostercrimson.png)
-Face Booster AZURE ![[Image: faceboosterazure.png]](http://worldbeyblade.org/uploads/awards/faceboosterazure.png)
In addition, we're of course going to include more than ten winners!
- 11th to 20th Place - Face Booster AZURE
![[Image: faceboosterazure.png]](http://worldbeyblade.org/uploads/awards/faceboosterazure.png)
- 21st to 50th Place - Choice from :
-Face Booster RED ![[Image: faceboosterred.png]](http://worldbeyblade.org/uploads/awards/faceboosterred.png)
-Face Booster BLUE ![[Image: faceboosterblue.png]](http://worldbeyblade.org/uploads/awards/faceboosterblue.png)
-Face Booster GREEN ![[Image: faceboostergreen.png]](http://worldbeyblade.org/uploads/awards/faceboostergreen.png)
-Face Booster ORANGE ![[Image: faceboosterorange.png]](http://worldbeyblade.org/uploads/awards/faceboosterorange.png)
Passport Holders are a big part of what's making all of this possible, so the first three places will be dedicated to them! Don't forget that, even though there is going to be no entry fee in certain regions, Blader Passports can still be purchased at any WBO tournament, especially on BeyDays.
Hey, the World Beyblade Organization is 'hip' now and we're all over the social networks! Not only are we on Facebook, but we also rebooted our Twitter account, again thanks to Dark_Mousy!
To celebrate both BeyDays and this Twitter news, we encourage all of you who have a Twitter account to re-tweet the #BeyDays2012 hashtag and spread the word about the festivities! Let's make it a trend!
And this is our Facebook Page, in case some of you missed our announcement:
Oh yes, we've heard your Blader Spirits' cries of excitement! Nobody can wait to try the new parts out in tournaments!
Although the WBO Committee has not yet come to a conclusion on everything about Zero-G, all Metal Fight Beyblade Zero-G parts are at least going to be allowed from now on. Yes, even Synchrom Wheels, for the moment, as long as nothing dominates too much.
Zero-G Stadiums are still considered 'illegal' for now and cannot be used yet. We still have to come to a conclusion about the best way to integrate this awesome new swaying gimmick in the Beypoint System, to keep the BeyRanks as fair and representative as possible. But rest completely assured: Zero-G Stadiums will definitely be legal eventually, it's just a matter of time! As such, we encourage all hosts to have short practice sessions, either at the beginning of their tournaments or at their end, to allow Bladers to try out and become familiar with the new gimmick. When the time comes, everyone'll be ready and dying to be let loose in these new stadiums!
Since the Rulebooks currently state that Metal Fight Beyblade parts are legal, we trust that we can have a common agreement over the use of Metal Fight Beyblade Zero-G parts until one of us gets time to properly edit the rules...!
Although we were planning some special lively media content, we decided not to make you guys wait any longer and announce the new wave of Blader Rewards for the Credits campaign too! Go check it out here:

The exciting pictures will have to wait~

Hey World Bladers,
If you're a Passport Holder, please post once in this thread to be entered in the April 2012 giveaway for a brand new BBG-03 Start Dash Set! There will be not one, or two, but three winners! Bladers who post in this thread and do not possess a Blader Passport will have their posts immediately deleted.
To make the deal even sweeter, we will also throw in a free Face Booster for the winners!
-Face Booster RED ![[Image: faceboosterred.png]](http://worldbeyblade.org/uploads/awards/faceboosterred.png)
-Face Booster BLUE ![[Image: faceboosterblue.png]](http://worldbeyblade.org/uploads/awards/faceboosterblue.png)
-Face Booster GREEN ![[Image: faceboostergreen.png]](http://worldbeyblade.org/uploads/awards/faceboostergreen.png)
-Face Booster ORANGE ![[Image: faceboosterorange.png]](http://worldbeyblade.org/uploads/awards/faceboosterorange.png)
-Face Booster YELLOW ![[Image: FaceBoosterIconYellow.png]](http://worldbeyblade.org/uploads/awards/FaceBoosterIconYellow.png)
-Face Booster PURPLE ![[Image: FaceBoosterIconPurple.png]](http://worldbeyblade.org/uploads/awards/FaceBoosterIconPurple.png)
This contest will run for two weeks until April 16th, 2012, 11:59:59PM EST. Any Passport Holders who post after that date/time will not be entered. The winners will be announced shortly after the date has passed and will have their prize shipped to them free of charge!
Good luck everyone!
And just as a note:
Metal Fight Beyblade ZERO-G products are not legal for use in officially sanctioned WBO tournaments until further notice. Along with testing, and modifying rulebooks accordingly, we also need to consider if we are going to implement a new format (and BeyRank separate from the current one), if we are simply going to modify an old format, or both.

| Organizers' Circle forum is born! And a clean-up of the WBO General forum |
|

Hello World Bladers!
In the past few weeks, we kept hinting at a lot of good news coming up in the future, so here's one of them!
In an effort to improve the quality of the World Beyblade Organization's tournaments, and to also give really all the tools a WBO Member would need to start up an approved event in their area, we've decided to open an Organizers' Circle forum!
Hosts will be able to share tips about tournament organization, crowd management, etc., and they will be encouraged to write a report for each event they hold. That way, we can all keep track of what went well, what worked less well, and we can all offer suggestions to improve future tournaments that host will do.
What's the requirement to gain access to this forum? You only need to have organized one successful WBO-approved tournament and you automatically get in! Of course, that means that this event must be "cleared", so you must have sent the WBO both the results and the money collected at your tournament. As such, we have more than fifty hosts, so we won't list them all, but hopefully you can recognise if you're part of this group or not.
We already have the best Beyblade tournament organizers here, so let's make the best out of it and these new interactions will certainly allow all the potential hosts to get on the same level as everyone else, for the best Beyblade experience there is!
The Organizers' Circle forum can be found in the WBO Organized Play category, with the Official Events forum and the WBO General forum.
Members who can post in this forum will have a username in bold. However, a lot of you are also Advanced Members, so we'll let you decide which 'decoration' you want!
In other, but related news, we have created a Teams sub-forum for the WBO General forum. Within the next few hours, all the team topics will be moved into this new sub-forum, so this will leave the important threads for trying to gather tournament interest in regions in the four other sub-forums that are the core of the WBO General forum.
All threads, no matter where they are located in the WBO General forum, must still have a proper prefix in their title, as was the rule in that forum.
Lastly, some of you might have noticed, but we've clarified that image macros count as one-liner posts too. Please take a moment to write your emotions in words, as always!
Hopefully you like all these news, and stay active for other awesome news in the future! We've definitely got a lot more!
... What's this?! Are May 26-27th... BEYDAYS??!!

Congratulations World Bladers, an amazing 13 tournaments have been hosted this February, with the majority being held in the United States! Actually, almost all of them were successful, so we've basically beaten our record from August, during the Summer Spin Showdown with Toywiz! It was the shortest month of all years, but with just one extra day, we've done a whole lot of extra for the Beyblade community.
To celebrate this feat, we're holding a BeyLotto full of extras! If you've played in one of the following tournaments, post here stating which event it was:
02/04/12 - Los Angeles, Super Beybattle 2nd Edition
02/11/12 - Goldsboro, Valen-Beys day
02/18/12 - Roanoke, The Face Race · · — — —
02/18/12 - Goldsboro, Blader Jam 4.0
02/19/12 - Taylor, The President's Beyblade Tournament
02/19/12 - New York, Spiral Grand Prix
02/19/12 - Surabaya, FIGHT CLUB: Beylentine
02/19/12 - Jakarta, Bey Bash: From Bey with Love
02/25/12 - Marietta, Oh, Bey Me!
02/25/12 - Washington DC, Leap Year Lashing
02/25/12 - Simi Valley, Super Beybattle 3rd Edition
02/25/12 - Québec, Québec Beychampionship I
02/26/12 - Toronto, 29 DAYS
And now, the part that everyone loves... The prizes!!
- The top winner will receive a Wing Pegasis S130RB Memorial Model! This will be a Beyblade you can be proud to own in a few years, when you will remember that the World Championships took place and you have a souvenir for it that few will have!
- The top winner as well as ten other winners will have a choice of two of the following Face Boosters:
- Face Booster RED
![[Image: faceboosterred.png]](http://worldbeyblade.org/uploads/awards/faceboosterred.png)
- Face Booster BLUE
![[Image: faceboosterblue.png]](http://worldbeyblade.org/uploads/awards/faceboosterblue.png)
- Face Booster GREEN
![[Image: faceboostergreen.png]](http://worldbeyblade.org/uploads/awards/faceboostergreen.png)
- Face Booster ORANGE
![[Image: faceboosterorange.png]](http://worldbeyblade.org/uploads/awards/faceboosterorange.png)
- Face Booster YELLOW
![[Image: FaceBoosterIconYellow.png]](http://worldbeyblade.org/uploads/awards/FaceBoosterIconYellow.png)
- Face Booster PURPLE
![[Image: FaceBoosterIconPurple.png]](http://worldbeyblade.org/uploads/awards/FaceBoosterIconPurple.png)
But exceptionally, we're adding two new, exclusive Face Boosters to give you a taste of the changes that await you all in the Blader Rewards!
- Face Booster CRIMSON
![[Image: faceboostercrimson.png]](http://worldbeyblade.org/uploads/awards/faceboostercrimson.png)
- Face Booster AZURE
![[Image: faceboosterazure.png]](http://worldbeyblade.org/uploads/awards/faceboosterazure.png)
The description is right: What on Blader DJ's spirit could be inside those Face Boosters?!
So each of the 11 winners gets to choose two of those Face Boosters. Remember, though, that Face Boosters CRIMSON and AZURE will be available later in the Blader Rewards, yet that there aren't many opportunities to get the first six Face Boosters otherwise! Choose wisely if you're lucky enough to be picked!
Congratulations to every Blader and Organiser again, and hopefully you enjoy this BeyLotto!
This topic should only contain entries from participants of tournaments hosted by the WBO in February. If you wish to discuss the news, the new Face Boosters, etc. then please use the general thread for the Leap Year Celebrations.
You have until March 9th 2012 at 11:59:59 PM ET to enter this BeyLotto.

Ladies and gentlebladers, entertwine your Blader Spirits on this special day of the Valentines : we love you, and we want to show it to you!
Plus, it’s a special month with one extra day…
Here’s the summary of this announcement:
- The Indonesian forum now lives!
- Special Leap Year Celebrations!
- Upcoming Refill of Blader Rewards!
Our Indonesian userbase has really flourished since the last BeyDays, and they’ve proved that they really deserve to get their own forum where they can speak in a language that is all common to them. Congratulations to you all! If you continue being so active, perhaps we can foresee a very interesting future resembling the Italian forum for you!!
Here’s a message in Indonesian:
Halo beybladers Indonesia! Selamat datang di forum WBO Indonesia. Silahkan dimanfaatkan untuk membahas segala sesuatu yang berhubungan dengan beyblade dan harap mengikuti peraturan-peraturan WBO.
… as well as a banner …
… made by your very own Uwik, who is not only a forum moderator for the Indonesian forum like his comrade wpardin, but who automatically got promoted to Global Moderator too! Congrats!
If you have any issues regarding the Indonesian forum, do not hesitate to contact wpardin, Uwik, or any of the Committee Members!
Love and frenzy are in the air! Let’s see what’s so special about this month:
- Valentine’s Day
- This February has one extra day
- We’ve gotten a whole lot of new information on Beyblade Zero-G and BeyWheelz
- But… most importantly…
There is an unbelievably high number of tournaments for this month which is so cold and so short!
If we compare the number of tournaments in February for the United States to our history of tournaments, such a feat has only ever been done before during the Summer Spin Showdown events in collaboration with Toywiz! And considering that most of this month’s tournaments are probably going to work, this is an awesome record!!
To support this super activity, we’ve decided to open some special LEAP YEAR CELEBRATIONS for the month of February!
- All competitors in February events will get one extra Credit for participating, so that means that you get at least two Credits just for playing in one of the tournaments!
- There will be a special BeyLotto that all the players of February tournaments will be able to enter, and the prize is a very special Bey: Wing Pegasis S130RB Memorial Model!! The top winner will also get to choose a Face Booster, and ten additional winners will receive two Face Boosters.
But wait!
We’re also going to include two brand new Face Boosters in the selection to give you a small sneak peak of the things with which we’ll refill the Blader Rewards!
No more on this topic though, we want to leave you some uncertainties so that you can speculate crazily in your mind. Stay close for our next update!
Now that was a lot of news. But guess what? We have a lot more coming up! We all hope you enjoy these celebrations and the Indonesian forum! We love you all!

| WBO Facebook! + Rulebooks Changes |

That’s right, the World Beyblade Organization is finally officially on Facebook!
(Click the above picture to access the Facebook Page!)
What’s in it if you’re already a Member here? Not that much since we still want to keep the discussions on here, but we’ll do our best to synchronise our announcements here with the announcements done on our Facebook Page. It’s a known fact that most kids, teenagers, and even adults spend a lot of time on Facebook, so that way you’ll be able to get updates from the WBO directly on Facebook, so you’ll know to head over here as soon as possible in order to observe the changes properly and talk about them.
Hopefully this way we’ll be able to reach out to more Bladers and the tournaments will be even more populated and fun! Who knows, perhaps other regions will start getting activity too!
We won't beg for your votes or anything, but if you like the idea, the World Beyblade Organization, the Page, then Like us on Facebook!
Additionally, we have also done some moderate changes to the Rulebooks.
Universal Rules
Standard Rules
Two modifications that are only for the Universal Rules :
- the Salamalyon and Gryffolyon Attack Rings are now legal;
- putting Uriel 2’s rubber tip inside Wolborg 2’s Right Spin Gear (Bearing Version 2) is now legal.
The last change was really common sense in our opinion, but it’s better not to take any chances because apparently such incidents have happened in the past :
- if accidents take place that disturb the launch of a Blader, such as another player accidentally bumping into them while walking by, then the round is simply restarted without any penalty to either of the battling players.
That's it for now, but you can bet that part of our mysterious conversations where we let nobody know what we're on about is booked with news for the upcoming month, so stay close, and let your BeySpirit shine during this time of cold!
