WBO Organized Play Official Rules & Discussion

Do I have to ask fighting spirits permission? I feel like it would good opportunity to expose a lot of players that either don't know about the takara tomy Beyblades or can't get them because they're not in stores.

You could look at any single tournament and see the answer under the Need to Know section:
"8. Contests, Raffles, Gambling, Betting, and Selling Are Prohibited

Advertising the sale of any product or service, as well as posting about any contest, raffle, gambling, or betting on this event page and conducting them at the event without approval by Fighting Spirits Inc. staff is prohibited. Please contact the Organized Play team if you require approval."


So, selling is ostensibly prohibited. That said; it happens anyway. Very few people are going to stop you. This is in the rules for legal reasons, because, you know, liability (Fighting Spirits refuses any and all liability for anything that happens at any event, ever).

You could always just contact the organized play team and ask them.

Thank you. I mean I was pretty sure that people did it anyways but again I do understand where you're coming from a liability issue. Maybe parents would get upset or buyers are more so on and so forth but I do understand so thank you for answering me I appreciate it
Hey folks

In standard Burst rules it states:

You score point(s) when:


The opposing Beyblade stops spinning. (Recommended: 1 Point)
The opposing Beyblade exits the BeyStadium. (Recommended: 2 Points)
The opposing Beyblade bursts. (Recommended: 2 Points)
The opposing Beyblade separates. (Recommended: 1 Point)

I never really thought about it before, but why does it say "Recommended" for the Points?

Hello bassraven!

It says "recommended" because we now give organizers the ability to customize points awarded for each win condition as they see fit. For example, if an organizer wishes to run a Burst Standard tournament with two point outspins, one point KOs, and one point bursts, they could do so and keep the "ranked" status for their event. This was introduced alongside our "ranked clauses" last year with the intention of giving organizers a bit more freedom with their tournaments.

Ok cool. I was trying to piece that together and that is a really cool option which can make local clubs have their own feel for things.

I appreciate the response!
