Due ongoing developments surrounding the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and in an abundance of caution, we've decided:
Event Proposal Conditions Starting July 1st, 2020
Barring any catastrophic changes to the worldwide situation surrounding the virus, event proposals made by Organizers for events occurring on July 1st, 2020 or later will be required to:
However, we will be continuing to monitor the situation and will provide an update if this changes.
The World Beyblade Organization by Fighting Spirits Inc. is dedicated to bringing Beyblade fans together–so this is a decision that was not made lightly–but above and beyond even that is our commitment to doing what we can to put the health and safety of players first.
We hope that with this break in events we'll all be able to spend more time improving other aspects of the community, our relationships online, and preparing for future events! We can surely turn this into something positive so that we're even stronger when this has passed.
Event Proposal Conditions Starting July 1st, 2020
Barring any catastrophic changes to the worldwide situation surrounding the virus, event proposals made by Organizers for events occurring on July 1st, 2020 or later will be required to:
- Official Government Documentation: Cite official government documentation which permits events/gatherings of their proposed size to occur in their local area. This must again be verified one week before the event.
- Local Regulations: Demonstrate their intention and plans for compliance with all local regulations for permitted gatherings (eg. wearing masks, physical distancing, etc).
- WBO Recommendations: If applicable, demonstrate their intention and plans for compliance with any of the WBO's safety recommendations for attending events during the pandemic.
- Hiding Event Page When Participant Cap is Reached: We recognize that given the strict requirements on gathering sizes in many areas around the world, it may not be in the best interests of event Organizers and players for an event to continue being posted publicly once the participant cap has been reached. As such, Organizers may request for their event page to be hidden once the participant cap for it has been met. Please indicate your request for this when making your event proposal.
If your cap is reached we will remove your event from public visibility until after the event date has passed. We encourage Organizers to note this will be done in their event description and to PM all participants before it is removed to confirm the event will still be happening.
However, we will be continuing to monitor the situation and will provide an update if this changes.
