Maybe that link help you!
We currently don't offer reimbursement, but we also do not currently charge entry fees due to a very complex issue with our PayPal account that we have been working to resolve. I don't have an exact timeline for you, but we would like to begin offering reimbursement and charging entry fees again soon when it becomes possible to do so.
And although the above posts are a bit old now, I do want to mention: we hear the complaints loud and clear and have been thinking about how to best address them and similar issues others have raised for some time now. You can expect changes throughout 2020 and beyond to address these types of things and many more.
That said, the WBO will always enforce some level of quality, standards, requirements on anyone who wants to host an official WBO event; that's what makes it possible for users to understand tournaments posted on our website are legitimate, competitive, and run by people who have a strong understanding of the game, how to run an event, and how to organize a tournament. We also believe deeply that we are all stronger together and that the game becomes more meaningful when played within the context of a global unified community. Doing so enables the comparison of players and exchanging of ideas locally, nationally, and internationally through the use of a consistent ruleset. We also recognize however that there is many ways of playing Beyblade and are cognizant of the fact that we need to find a way to be more accommodating in this respect too.
We do not want the process to become involved to be too difficult either. It definitely is in some ways currently, but as of late we have at least been able to become much more responsive to prospective Organizers taking the Organizer's Quiz (thanks in large part to kjrules17), so I feel that the process likely does feel much easier because of that than it did back in August when some of these posts were made.
In any case, my point here is that there has been some tough problems the WBO has been dealing with over the past year or so and in the process of trying to solve them we have been thinking very critically behind-the-scenes about how we can be better and how the WBO can offer more value to all Beyblade fans (those who use the WBO and even those who don't currently) in a way which is sustainable for an entirely volunteer-based not-for-profit organization. We hope to have more to say about this soon.
