Splitting the organized play in different small communities is not a wise idea, instead contributing to the WBO and improving it through suggestions is the way to go.
There could be many reasons why they don't want to host it under the WBO banner. It could be anything from not liking the weird rules, or not wanting to go through the administrative problems to simply host a tournament. It is quite haughty to expect everyone to view WBO as the go-to place for the hobby, and disrespecting their decisions to host it under their own banner. They are the ones putting in the effort to organize *their own* stuff, and it is quite disrespectful to say things like that.
I am not disrespecting them at all, what I am saying is simply: there is no reason to split the community, and moreover a niche community. Beyblade is not as popular as other brands and there is no doubt about this. The WBO always succeeded in keeping the community alive thanks to all the hard work done in a decade, becoming the stronghold of every blader. If a person wakes up in the morning and decides to divide the community it hurts the same community...imagine if more and more of these niche communities will keep growing in the wild, do you understand that it is counterproductive? Maybe they think they are doing a good thing and they are sincerely convinced of it but actually they get the opposite result. If they want to host tournaments locally outside of the WBO's jurisdiction there is no reason to have a site for this purpose, don't you think?
Honestly I don't see anything weird in the WBO rules, if these guys have some reasonable suggestions to improve the rules I am sure that the committee is welcome to argue about them and eventually approve them.
"They are the ones putting in the effort to organize *their own* stuff, and it is quite disrespectful to say things like that.", sure...maybe following slavishly the WBO rules and banlist, right? :D So they like the rules as long as they are not bound to the WBO and can make money and put themselves in their sight, I see!
I am the moderator of the Italian WBO subforum and I have already saw this happening in the Italian community over the past years, the result is that now the Italian WBO it's a desert.
Anyway, I think that isn't a good idea to continue talking about this question. This thread has no real and useful purpose other than -inadvertently- advertise the illusion of this clique (or I might say
gang?). Now maybe in this last sentence I was a bit rude but come on...they even call/proclame themselves BBA...lol
EDIT: They has even stolen and -badly- modified one of my creation that you can find on my deviantart. (

At least they could try to create something original if they want to differentiate from the other millions of WBO copycats seen in the past...
Not that this bores me that much, it has happened so many times that I am used to it by now, but this situation gives me a low opinion of them, even more than before.
