There will be people added to the WBO event page before the go live date. These people are organizers and judges who have agreed to staff the event to help the event run smoothly. If you would like to become an official NorCal League Judge, check the end of this event description.
Waitlist
When the tournament is full the sign up thread will be converted to a waitlist thread. The organizer will announce and ping in the thread when accepting people on the waitlist. The order on the waitlist will be determined by the order WBO names are left in the thread after the waitlist announcement.

Event Guide for Parents with Children under the age of 13:
1) A guardian must remain with your child at all times as in compliance with California law. The ONLY exceptions to this are:
- 1. You are playing in the tournament yourself and your match conflicts with your childs, and then we ask that your child understand they should ask for the assistance of the extra judge at their or your station to walk them over to you or their match.
- 2. If you need to use the bathroom please keep staff in the loop so we can actively keep an eye on your child until you return.
2) The following are expectations we have for everyone, but some children need extra assistance with following. We do provide extra lenancy for children around some of these items:
- 1. Our stadium stands require being comfortable launching over a height of 30 inches. While this has not posed an issue for most children, if you fear it may be for yours we ask you bring a step stool you are comfortable with and know can safely hold their body weight. We are not able to provide these due to the differences in height and weight required to be safe for every child.
- 2. No one should lean over the stadium at any time. Beyblades can and do pop out and we want to avoid someone getting hit seriously.
- 3. No one should grab their beyblade before the judge calls the match. This is a serious offense which results in the other blader being awarded the maximum number of points possible(3). A repeated instance will be a disqualification from the event. We are willing to provide children with a first warning before implementing the above two remedies.
- 4. At all times you must remain at your match. If your child is wandering away from their matches it's going to be a three strikes and you're out situation. Everyone should be fully invested in their own matches only while they are happening.
- 5. We will cover sportsmanship in our review of the rules, but we ask that parents help their children practice good sportsmanship at all times. We understand a child may get emotional after a match and may not be up for a handshake and that is OK, but there is a line before, during, and after a match that if crossed repeatedly we will have to ask you to be done competing for the day and disqualify your child. This is something we have never had to do, but the line has been danced with more times than we would like.
NorCal Rankings & League
