Expiration of a few Blader Passports

We just cleaned up all the archives on the Passport Face, and to reflect on the fact that several Blader Passports have expired (they last only one year), many of you do not have a Passport Face anymore.

In fact, there were way too many users who were still active competitively and who had entered recent events with an expired Blader Passport. In the future, if you do not renew your Blader Passport for a whole new year, you will be asked to pay the regular entry fee of $5 USD otherwise you cannot participate in the tournament.

If you had actually sent in another payment to renew your Blader Passport and that we still deleted your Passport Face, contact Kei and I so we can all look into the issue and confirm whether we did get your $10 USD or not.


Be quick, the BeyLotto will begin very soon and the best prizes are for Passport Holders!

Aha , thats good. Question - So does that mean if somebody has his Blader's Passport expired but he did used to have it and he enters a local WBO tournament will he has to pay the fee of $5 USD ?
Thanks for clearing that up. I'm buying a Passport soon and was wondering if I would be able to use it. Would I be able to use it the day of purchase, or the day I receive my face?

The second paragraph says exactly that.

I am not sure of the correct answer , but I will still try ... maybe you will be able to use the Blader's Passport when you pay for it ? Anyways thank for answering my question.
If you go to an event and give ten dollars instead of five, then you have a Blader Passport.
Which means you don't need to pay the extra $5.

Kinda funny how people used an expired passport as a legit one to get into tournaments.

It was also partly our fault for not actively checking, but yes, time does go by ...
Do you mind me asking how long these people were getting away with this.

I am just wondering out of curiosity.
Those who did used an expired passport have to pay for the entry they got in for free?

Too much of a hastle and a less favourable option for them?
You should just change the passport face year to year so it's more obvious.

That would be a great actually! Refusing to pay results into a ban from WBO sactioned tournaments until done so.

If comitee decides to it slide then I guess it is alright but sort of unfair others.
What if you purchase a passport now? Will you then be reserved?

I keep reading hte BeyLotto op and I can't seem to find the part where it says there are exclusive prizes for Passport Holders. IF you could tell me which prizes are passport holder exclusives, it would be easier for me to know when to buy a passport.
Quote: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!

It was quite clear.

"Reserved" ?
The 1st prize to 5th prize are all passport only.
Edit; Beaten by a second!
I thought the passports were a reoccurring yearly fee?

I'll purchase another one now anyway.
Oh, if you purchase it online on the Passport page, it should indeed automatically take ten dollars from your Paypal account every year, if you did not deactivate this feature.

If you think that is the case, also contact me. I will check, and you will just get a new Passport Face.
My passport face expired on the 3rd so that means I'm still covered for Beyday, riiiight?

Of course!
Thanks!

Also, The Problem still has a face problem: all of his faces need to be reissued, including the passport face. If you look under each face, he is listed as "guest" for his faces.

Actually, it expired on June 3rd 2010, unless you renewed it since, which I would have to check.
I did. It renews to "Brad Tiller". I double checked when I saw that my face was gone. The passport system originally defaulted to an automatic subscription so it auto renewed on me last year. I was ticked off when I found out.
This is true actually. A few were renewed to me last year. Any that are sent to me this year will be refunded. I didn't handle that well, sorry Kai-V.
I wanted to know if the passport was valid in France or not? Being French, I would probably never have the opportunity to go to tournaments in the United States and have now subscribed to the famous passport.

And also, I wanted to know if the passport is in "paper / cardboard" and if you need the address of the person who took or not to send if any?

Thank you in advance for responding.

Passports are valid to anyone in the world for $10 USD, you should collect at least 8 members who have a Blader Passport and buy a BB-10 Attack Type Beystadium and a have a tournament yourself.

Passports aren't physical objects, you will be awarded a face.
