Hey World Bladers!

BeyDays is back for the third year in a row! On the first BeyDay in 2009 we hosted tournaments in Canada and the UK. In 2010 we again hosted tournaments in Canada and the UK, but expanded to include Italy for the first time. This year, the expansion continues! Here are the tournaments we have lined up this year!:

On the 28th of May we'll be hosting events in:

• [Image: ca.png] Toronto, Canada - BEYBLADE CRUSADE, at Anime North 2011,

And on the next day, the 29th of May:

• [Image: us.png] Silver Spring, Maryland - Celebrate BeyDays, Come On!,
  
• [Image: in.png] Pune, India - The Bey Empire.
  

Additionally, because Vancouver was unable to reschedule their tournament for the actual BeyDays weekend, we've decided to make an exception and allow their tournament to be a part of BeyDays 2011 because it is their first event since 2009! Their tournament will be held on the 22nd of May:

• [Image: ca.png] Vancouver, Canada - Showdown at the Park!, at Stanley Park.
  

Twenty one tournaments! This is going to be the largest BeyDays ever, by far. However, we know we can do better! Many smaller communities around the world have been trying their hardest to get tournaments organized, and we want to assist in making this process easier for you guys, if only for this one weekend. Here is what we're willing to do for you guys: waive the Blader Passport/$5 entry fee and Event Proposal process for the BeyDays weekend (May 28th-29th) for tournaments thar are being hosted in areas that have yet to host an (or have an approved) official WBO tournament. After BeyDays, the regular fees and procedures will return, but we hope that this special opportunity will help speed up the process of starting a thriving community in your area!

Interested in hosting a BeyDays 2011 Tournament in your area? Click here for details! (Click to View)

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 2011 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.

Now, back to the festivities! Like last year, all BeyDays 2011 participants will be awarded an exclusive Face! This year it will be the Face of Days II! [Image: BeyDays2011Face2.png]

Additionally, the BeyLotto–a tournament entry extra exclusive event–is back!

Everyone who enters a BeyDays tournament anywhere in the world will be given a number, and will be put into an exclusive lottery draw!

What are the wonderful prizes, you ask?

• 1st Place - Big Bang Pegasis DX Set
  
  
• 2nd Place - WHF09 Gold L Drago 105F
  
  
• 3rd to 5th Place - Big Bang Pegasis F:D, Fang Leone 130W2D, or L Drago Destroy F:S
  
  
• 6th to 10th Place - Random Booster Vol. 7 Beat Lynx TH170WD
  

Additionally, the first to tenth place winners will have their choice of

  -Face Booster BLUE [Image: faceboosterblue.png]
  -Face Booster GREEN [Image: faceboostergreen.png]
  -Face Booster ORANGE [Image: faceboosterorange.png]
  

As you can see, we have gone completely bonkers with Face Boosters! But what's that you're asking? What is Face Booster YELLOW and PURPLE?! Oh yes, I almost forgot … we are introducing two completely new Face Boosters on BeyDays 2011!!

And because we love our loyal Passport Holders so much, we've decided to limit the 1st-5th place prizes specifically to them! So, if you want to have a chance to win the coolest prizes, don't forget to purchase a Passport at your local BeyDays tournament!

So make sure to enter a tournament near you, for the chance to win not just tournament prizes, but these ultra special prizes as well!

We have one other important Face Booster-related announcement to make! Almost two years ago now, Face Booster BLACK was introduced as a replacement to the Royal Face, which was awarded to members who made a donation of at least $10. Now it's time for BLACK's replacement, Face Booster WHITE!

[Image: FaceBoosterIconWhitev2.png]

What does this mean for Face Booster BLACK? It means that it will be officially retired as of 12:00:00AM EST on May 28th to make way for WHITE. So, any donators who send donations prior to that date will receive Face Booster BLACK, while those after that date will receive Face Booster WHITE.

The Faces included in Face Booster WHITE will be revealed on the 28th, but don't forget, once Face Booster BLACK is gone … it's gone forever! If you've already purchased a Blader Passport, and still wish to donate (ie. be awesome), we are always accepting donations through PayPal at donate@worldbeyblade.org. All donations go towards paying our hosting costs, purchasing prizes for tournaments, and making massive giveaways like this one possible!

... One more thing! Very soon, the Quest for Quetz campaign will unfortunately be coming to an end, and we will be announcing a brand new campaign in its place. The way Credits are earned in this new campaign may differ slightly, and there is going to be a completely new and even more awesome prize pool than last time. We're going to be viewing this as a "fresh start", so, because of this we have made the decision that all physical prizes must be gone by June 20th, 2011, and if afterwards you still go over 7 Credits, your Credits will be reduced to that amount. Here is what remains in our prize pool:

Quetzalcoatl + Prize Hunter Face x1 (15 Credits) (SOLD!)
Storm Pegasis 105RF x1 (10 Credits) (SOLD!)
Dark Bull H145SD x1 (8 Credits) (SOLD!)
Dark Cancer CH120SF x1 (8 Credits) (SOLD!)
Dark Wolf DF145FS x1 + Face Booster DIAMOND (7 Credits) (SOLD!)
Face Booster DIAMOND (3 Credits)

As you can see, many items are "on sale"! Please PM a Committee member if you wish to purchase anything!

Additionally, we can disclose one detail about the new campaign ... Yet another new Face Booster: Face Booster PEARL.

That's it for now! Let the countdown towards BeyDays 2011 begin!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I understand your excitement for this incredible announcement, but this is SPAM. Please keep these one word posts to a minimum!

PMed about Quetz.

READ THE POST. They just made hosting tournaments idiot proof. You only need you + 7 bladers and a TT attack/super attack/stamina stadium and a camera.

I can't wait is it fine if people make accounts just to be in a tourney and aren'tgoing to be on much I would make them from my computer so I don't want a warning or anything...

Does Earth come in Earth Aquila 145WD ? Hm, this is a difficult question.

This might be a dumb question but, even if it doesn't have good smash, can dark be used in a smash attack combo?

My WD is too worn to be used legally, so I'll just beat up the rest of my Earth Aquila and send it to Hasbro so I can get a new one for free.

Really? I have to deal with this carp on the "new" zodiac here too? Ugh...I came here hoping that I wouldn't find it here too >.>

Oh no! Heaven forbid you have to read about something that 99% of the population is at least somewhat interested in!

Woe is you!

it has the widest track and the widest metal wheel.and its not really in a high price.i say hell kerbex is more of a balance than stamina.

How to write very obvious things ...

Don't say Storm sucks, it is still one of the best....

I can't wait is it fine if people make accounts just to be in a tourney and aren'tgoing to be on much I would make them from my computer so I don't want a warning or anything...

You can do that and refer them to yourself, even, as long as they participated in the tournament. That confirms them as a different person completely, which is the WBO's main concern.

Guys, if you want to make the cut, see if your parents, siblings, cousins, or friends will play with you. You never know, they might really enjoy playing and spending time with you and Beyblade more often because of it. Parents really enjoy helping their kids have safe fun, and this is definitely a great way to do it. Not only will it help you get your tournament approved, but they will also understand your hobbies more and as a tournament host, I've noticed that after a tournament or two, parents will be more willing to support your Beyblading interest if they experience it for themselves.

Take it from me, the only reason why I still Beyblade is because my parents saw me enjoying myself when I was Beyblading as a child and completely supported it and now they still help me with Beyblade to the best of our abilities. This can be a great family event as well as a competition.

Yeah, if you have to make accounts for people just so they can be inputted into the BeyPoint system, that's fine. However, please do encourage them to actually post!

This is gonna be the the best tournament of my whole life:^

The Stamina Type BeyStadium is illegal. Balance Type is legal.

I was hoping that that would be a given... you know, because the WBO is only the best forum in the universe. Who wouldn't want to be a part of it?

Er...totally meant that. I have a standard type so I'm constantly confusing the two.

just missing 1 thing a attack stadium and i cant host a tournament

Unfortunately, yeah. As it says in the announcement (please read it carefully):

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.

If this first tournament is successful though, and you're able to host another where you follow normal procedures (fees/Passports, proposal, etc), then we'd be glad to reimburse you for the cost of some prizes.

Find someone that has an attack stadium then, but seriously, you say "can't" like no matter what, it's impossible. Ink is 12 and he's hosting his own tournament. If he can do it, anybody can. Props to him, he's very headstrong for his age.

Will this be done next year as well? If so, I'll start saving up to go. As much as I'd love to enter, I unfortunately can't this year.

Definitely! Don't you have enough Bladers in Florida to host a tournament, though? You're exactly the kind of person we were hoping our offer would help.

So many new things being implemented! :o So excited!
Purple and Yellow...how interesting.

Was talking to greimatter, but seriously, you have 3 weeks to pull together something. I just wrote up an entire solution to making the cut. Get your family to play!

If someone enters two different beyday events, does that mean we are entered in the lotto twice?

Sounds great! Alot more prizes that I expected. I am proud to be a part of BeyDays 2011. Thanks!
