Thank you everyone for coming out with strong bey spirit and great sportsmanship! And thank you to our judges, othellog, Breaker, Galaxy4ever and Rotation! It is clear that MD is becoming a force to be reckoned with in the Beyblade world, and I'm looking forward to things to come!

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.

[/align]I would have won if nerfblader wasn't so good. Nice battle nerfblader. Good job everyone. I got 2nd place! Wink So happy! I got 2 Random Booster Volume 8. I win one and bought one. I hope next tourney is fun. I wanted Fang Leone. I wonder what prize pool is next tourney. Thx for holding tourney Arupaeo. good luck next tourney. C YA! Wink
