It still works the good old way: both traders need to contact the same Committee Member by private message to confirm that they agree to trade X for Y.

Awesome! Thank you!

I mean in case someday animal learn to play beys or just someone trainned some animal to launch beyblade. Would he/she eligible for event?

Lol I know it's kind of stupid question but had this in mind since forever

On behalf of the wbo. Here at the wbo we don't discriminate be it human, animal, plant or fidget spinner. All are welcome to enjoy the art of beyblading.

You absolutely do not have to enter the tournament you host. In fact, it is recommended not to, as it allows you to focus on only one task and make sure not to make mistakes. Plus, if you win your own event, it looks suspicious or unfair, especially to parents who might be spectating.

An event is ranked or unranked based on the number of players. So, if there are seven participants + you but that you are not playing in the tournament, then there are only seven players and the tournament is unranked.

Because there is a major miscalculation in the statistics, it seems... He has twenty-eight pages of posts, and each page lists fifty posts. Perhaps some of the topics he posted in got erased and therefore do not count anymore, but technically he has enough posts.

I've hosted and won my own events before. The way to make sure parent don't get mad is the show the kids how you won. Connect with the parents and kids, show the. Your collection. Show them what works and doesn't work. There will always be that one parent,  but that is to be expected. The best policy is transparency with events.  This includes the WBO and parents.
Just an idea, but what if WBO did a tournament live stream of the different battles going on. They could have a camera doing a side view of everything, a cam at each stadium, and one at the sign up area beforehand. Just an Idea, but I want someone to respond on ideas to improve this and some people's opinions on this.

We would really like to livestream most tournaments, but since a lot of them happen in parks and other locations without great access to wifi, it is not really possible to set it up. Even at Anime North we had to rely on people's mobile hotspots, which were not always consistent.
Hey guys, this may be an inappropriate question here, and I know you have time constraints, but  where is the bit booster DRIVER I got from the Chronos contest? I'm ok with the wait,  just wondering.

To get reimburstment, is it mandatory for hosts to order thing they are giving as prize before? Is it possible if committee order it and ship to Host's home and he can give to Players?

The Committee orders nothing. We are too busy to do that on top of everything else hah. 

We really prefer if the prizes are bought before the tournament, because otherwise we and the winners will have no guarantee at all that the prizes will be given to the right people, in time.
How do you Change your WBO Name to something Else Not Taken?

Right now the username change feature is not available. Only Committee Members can modify names.

When would it be???
I was hoping four months ago... So unfortunately we have no idea when the feature will be worked back into the site.
So if I record a battle and put it on this site,will my ranking go up or do I have to go to a tournament and secondly will there be a world championship?
EDIT:Im a noob

the only way to achieve a wbo ranking is attending a wbo tournament
Hasbro may hold a world championship but nothing is confirmed

1.moderators don't know

We could arguably restore it tomorrow honestly, but there's very clearly higher priorities onsite right now. We're finalising our work on the BeyPoint system and you'll see processing picking up again soon, and there's a few theme optimisations that need doing to restore basic stuff (Credits, profile stuff, fixing glitches). 

Username changing is the least of our worries right now, haha. It'll be back eventually Tongue_out
