Questions about the WBO

The members with blue names are part of the World Beyblade Organization Committee; we are not "Tournament Organizers". There is no way we could have as many people as two or three per 'state' to be identified that way ... Instead, the Committee verifies if a person who wishes to host an event is trust-worthy, and this is acknowledged by the time spent on these forums and how 'good' of a member they are in general, for the most.

You should also read our rules book ... It will certainly answer some of your questions.

I do not necessarily comprehend your third paragraph's idea.
It's important to note that way more people play Smash than Beyblade, and the age demographic there is generally older.

I didn't really think about the age demographic, so I realize the main difference now. Also, I see the flexibility of the ruleset. I was thinking about using pools then use the results as a way to seed going into the double-elim bracket, but I see how much more efficient it is to just go with one or the other.

Let me get a couple of screenshots of what some other communities do.

I just think it's more convenient to have divisions of the world, so people would find their community a little bit easier than having it all clustered in one forum (although they could use search). I'll admit that I got somewhat got carried away with my support lol, but community support at a regional level is highly important. In the end, it depends on how much more traffic this forum gets come Spring and beyond.
There's not enough players to do something like that. We can't even get fifteen people together in New York City.
Does having a double account terminate any rules?Are there rules besides topic rules that aren't listed on the community rules?Is there a limit for characters used in the signature?
I'm pretty sure the signature character limit is enforced by MyBB; it won't let you update a signature if it is to large, to my knowlege.

A double account gets you at least a thirty-percent warning. Coincidentally, I have to ask you why you once again have the same IP address and an identical e-mail address as Burning Dragoon's and BlueTsunami's. Considering none of them ever mentioned a third sibling, this is of course very suspect. Not to mention there is no reason two of the three siblings could not get an e-mail address of their own ...

Rules are written in the Rules forum, at the top of some forums, and otherwise at the beginning of some topics.

We usually tolerate signatures that do not go past 500x200 pixels, including the text.
bluetsunami stop posting
hmm ok.I made this account to ask this,because i had a 7 day suspension,and the reason why was just unexplainable,and was in a rush,and offcorse it may be odd that i and burning dragoon have the same ip but please know we are other persons,you may terminate this account now.
If you have a suspension, PM a mod or something. Making a new account to post is against the rules.
To necropost how old does the thread had to be? Not that I'm going to necropost but so I can avoid it.

Generally when the answer to "Do I really have something so important to say that I would bring this topic closer to the top of the page ?" is 'no'.

If you bring back the 'Favourite Beyblade' topic, it is considered OK, however other things are not, and we trust that people can think discern that by themselves.
It's not really about how old the thread is. You can reply to a two year old thread if you have something useful/interesting to say. If you bump up an old thread just to say "cool" or reply to a two year old thread about someone selling Beyblades to ask if they are still selling, that's a good way to get in trouble.
I cant seem to log on with my itouch no matter how many times i do it it keeps saying welcome guest...
ive noticed a lot of times some of the new posts in the beyblade customizations section don't have its new posts change into a gray color after the last post was a day or two ago while the bey marketplace section has no change at all in the icon color when theres a new post.. if that made sense. Its just been on my mind and I thought I should bring it up, because it kinda makes it less noticeable for other users if i post a question in a thread and they dont see it and i dont get an answer. not that this has happened yet just using it as an example.

I don't have this issue.
it was happening while not a lot of people were online, i posted this and a question in the purchase consultation thread and the beyicons were gray and not blue.
I remember reading somewhere that at a WBO sanctioned tournament, you must have at least 3 beyblades to participate, and then you can only use the 3 you enter with for the whole tournament.

I went through the WBO Standard Rules PDF again, and i didn't see this. So, must you have 3 beyblades and only use those 3 in a tournament, or can someone enter with one bey, or 4 beys?

That was never a rule.
OK, thank you. I knew there was something odd when i didn't see it in the rules PDF.

Any swear word that we entered, yes. We might not cover all of them, but there are quite a few already.
oh alright cool
this might not be the right topic to ask,but when MFB gets realsed over here would it be ok for me to see if shops would be willing to hand out wbo fillers to kids buying beys?
