Besides it gonna be awhile like 2-3 Weeks if you don't get them please PM Kai-V about it

Actually, please don't PM anyone about blader passports until after the tournament has been processed, and only then if your passport doesn't show up a few days later. Right now the wait for tournament processing is about 5 weeks, so don't expect to see the passport on your account until after the October tournament.

You can see where the tournament is on the list for processing here in this thread: http://worldbeyblade.org/Thread-BeyPoints-Queue

If the tournament where you bought the passport is still not processed, your passport will not have been processed either.
so in october do i still get in for free if it doesn't say im a passport holder?

When we battled, you used MF (Metal FLAT). So I'm saying that the tip didn't work for you well, and its not your kind of attack type tip. Get it now?

Yes. I have a current list of people who have bought passports, so you will not be charged at the October tournament regardless of whether the passport face is up on your account or not. I've got your back man! Smile
