The goal of the World Beyblade Organization is to put the health and safety of players first at all times. As such, in light of the developing situation regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19) around the world, we are introducing the following requirements for anyone attending Beyblade tournaments organized through our platform.
1. Feeling unwell? Stay at home.
We urge any player who might be feeling under the weather to stay home.
The Organizer running the tournament reserves the right to turn away any attendee with visible flu symptoms, including a fever, cough or difficulty breathing.
2. Thumbs Up Instead of Handshakes
Contrary to traditional best practices, players must refrain from any physical contact with their opponent, including shaking hands after a match. We recommend a thumbs-up, nod or positive verbal exchange instead.
3. Do Not Lend or Play with Others Equipment
Lending of parts, launchers, or other equipment and playing with another person's tops during or prior to the tournament is prohibited.
The Organizer running the tournament reserves the right to disqualify any players who do this and ask them to leave the area.
4. During Beyblade Inspection, Disassemble Beyblades for Judges
During the Beyblade Selection phase which takes place before every match, we request that players disassemble their selected Beyblade(s) for judges to do a visual inspection before the match begins.
It is prohibited for judges to physically touch any Beyblades during inspection.
5. Do Not Bring More Than 1 Person With You
All participants may not bring more than one person (parent, guardian, sibling, friend, etc) with them that isn't registered for the tournament.
Organizers may ask surplus people and or the participants who brought too many people with them to leave the area or tournament if they discover this rule has been broken.
6. Maintain Physical Distancing (2 meters/6 feet apart)
Except during the countdown prior to the beginning of a tournament match, all players are to maintain physical distancing from each other (at least 2 meters/6 feet apart).
During a match, after the Beyblades have been launched, players must take a step backwards from the stadium to meet the minimum physical distancing requirements outlined above.
After a match/round, players may approach the stadium one at a time under the direction of the judge to pick up their Beyblade.
7. After each Match Judges Must Disinfect Stadium
After the conclusion of each match, judges must disinfect all stadium surfaces using an appropriate disinfectant product (ex. Lysol wipes).
These requirements will remain in effect until further notice.
We encourage all WBO members to follow and stay up to date on the latest developments and recommendations from their national and local public health authorities as well as from the World Health Organization. You can find general recommendations from the WHO here.
We thank everyone in advance for doing their best to take proper precautions to ensure that the environment at any tournament is as safe as it can be!
