How the World Beyblade Organization supports you
Our mission is to help you make your local Beyblade scene the best it can be. Whether you want to run your first Beyblade tournament, or bring your existing tournaments to the next level, the World Beyblade Organization can help you do it.
Promote events on worldbeyblade.org
worldbeyblade.org is the #1 destination for finding Beyblade tournaments (seriously, Google "Beyblade Tournaments"), and events posted quickly fill up. We ensure your events reach the largest audience possible.
Get expert training on using Challonge
We’ve partnered with Challonge to build features fit for Beyblade, and used the platform for hundreds of events. We’ll teach you everything you need to know about Challonge in your onboarding session.
Learn from experienced WBO Organizers
The WBO's community of volunteers has supported competitive Beyblade since 2008. As a WBO Organizer, you can easily connect with other organizers, judges and WBO staff for support on all of your events.
WBO Organizers can host WBO Ranked Events, connecting their community to the largest Beyblade leaderboard in the world.
WBO Ranked Events for Beyblade X must have at least one WBO Certified Judge. Learn more about Judge Certification.
For gaming stores
We can help you host your own events, or connect you with a WBO Organizer to come host at your store! Either way, you'll be supporting your local Beyblade community.
Why host Beyblade at your store?
- High crossover appeal with TCG and board game players
- Reach new audiences for your other products
- Won’t cannibalize sales of your other games
Organizer responsibilities
- Scheduling and promoting tournaments
- Securing an appropriate, publicly accessible venue for events

Above all else, WBO Organizers are expected to instill the values of good sportsmanship, act with honesty and integrity, and create a welcoming and safe atmosphere for all bladers.

A: Yes, as long as you fulfill your responsibilities as a WBO Organizer and prioritize the experience of other bladers at your event.
Q: Can I make money from my events?
A: Yes. However, we may refuse to promote events with pricing we consider unreasonable.

Q: Does the WBO provide financial support for prizing or equipment?
A: As a non-profit organization, we are unable to provide financial support to WBO Organizers. However, we are exploring how we can better support events with physical resources and hope to announce more in the near future!
