Hey World Bladers,

If you're a Passport Holder, please post once in this thread to be entered in the April 2012 giveaway for a brand new BBG-03 Start Dash Set! There will be not one, or two, but three winners! Bladers who post in this thread and do not possess a Blader Passport will have their posts immediately deleted.

To make the deal even sweeter, we will also throw in a free Face Booster for the winners!
This contest will run for two weeks until April 16th, 2012, 11:59:59PM EST. Any Passport Holders who post after that date/time will not be entered. The winners will be announced shortly after the date has passed and will have their prize shipped to them free of charge!

Good luck everyone!


And just as a note:
Metal Fight Beyblade ZERO-G products are not legal for use in officially sanctioned WBO tournaments until further notice. Along with testing, and modifying rulebooks accordingly, we also need to consider if we are going to implement a new format (and BeyRank separate from the current one), if we are simply going to modify an old format, or both.
Hello World Bladers!


In the past few weeks, we kept hinting at a lot of good news coming up in the future, so here's one of them!


In an effort to improve the quality of the World Beyblade Organization's tournaments, and to also give really all the tools a WBO Member would need to start up an approved event in their area, we've decided to open an Organizers' Circle forum!

Hosts will be able to share tips about tournament organization, crowd management, etc., and they will be encouraged to write a report for each event they hold. That way, we can all keep track of what went well, what worked less well, and we can all offer suggestions to improve future tournaments that host will do.

What's the requirement to gain access to this forum? You only need to have organized one successful WBO-approved tournament and you automatically get in! Of course, that means that this event must be "cleared", so you must have sent the WBO both the results and the money collected at your tournament. As such, we have more than fifty hosts, so we won't list them all, but hopefully you can recognise if you're part of this group or not.

We already have the best Beyblade tournament organizers here, so let's make the best out of it and these new interactions will certainly allow all the potential hosts to get on the same level as everyone else, for the best Beyblade experience there is!


The Organizers' Circle forum can be found in the WBO Organized Play category, with the Official Events forum and the WBO General forum.

Members who can post in this forum will have a username in bold. However, a lot of you are also Advanced Members, so we'll let you decide which 'decoration' you want!




In other, but related news, we have created a Teams sub-forum for the WBO General forum. Within the next few hours, all the team topics will be moved into this new sub-forum, so this will leave the important threads for trying to gather tournament interest in regions in the four other sub-forums that are the core of the WBO General forum.

All threads, no matter where they are located in the WBO General forum, must still have a proper prefix in their title, as was the rule in that forum.




Lastly, some of you might have noticed, but we've clarified that image macros count as one-liner posts too. Please take a moment to write your emotions in words, as always!





Hopefully you like all these news, and stay active for other awesome news in the future! We've definitely got a lot more!



... What's this?! Are May 26-27th... BEYDAYS??!!

Leap Year Celebrations - BeyLotto!

  • Kai-V

Congratulations World Bladers, an amazing 13 tournaments have been hosted this February, with the majority being held in the United States! Actually, almost all of them were successful, so we've basically beaten our record from August, during the Summer Spin Showdown with Toywiz! It was the shortest month of all years, but with just one extra day, we've done a whole lot of extra for the Beyblade community.

To celebrate this feat, we're holding a BeyLotto full of extras! If you've played in one of the following tournaments, post here stating which event it was:

02/04/12 - Los Angeles, Super Beybattle 2nd Edition
02/11/12 - Goldsboro, Valen-Beys day
02/18/12 - Roanoke, The Face Race · · — — —
02/18/12 - Goldsboro, Blader Jam 4.0
02/19/12 - Taylor, The President's Beyblade Tournament
02/19/12 - New York, Spiral Grand Prix
02/19/12 - Surabaya, FIGHT CLUB: Beylentine
02/19/12 - Jakarta, Bey Bash: From Bey with Love
02/25/12 - Marietta, Oh, Bey Me!
02/25/12 - Washington DC, Leap Year Lashing
02/25/12 - Simi Valley, Super Beybattle 3rd Edition
02/25/12 - Québec, Québec Beychampionship I
02/26/12 - Toronto, 29 DAYS



And now, the part that everyone loves... The prizes!!

- The top winner will receive a Wing Pegasis S130RB Memorial Model! This will be a Beyblade you can be proud to own in a few years, when you will remember that the World Championships took place and you have a souvenir for it that few will have!

- The top winner as well as ten other winners will have a choice of two of the following Face Boosters:

But exceptionally, we're adding two new, exclusive Face Boosters to give you a taste of the changes that await you all in the Blader Rewards!

The description is right: What on Blader DJ's spirit could be inside those Face Boosters?!


So each of the 11 winners gets to choose two of those Face Boosters. Remember, though, that Face Boosters CRIMSON and AZURE will be available later in the Blader Rewards, yet that there aren't many opportunities to get the first six Face Boosters otherwise! Choose wisely if you're lucky enough to be picked!



Congratulations to every Blader and Organiser again, and hopefully you enjoy this BeyLotto!


This topic should only contain entries from participants of tournaments hosted by the WBO in February. If you wish to discuss the news, the new Face Boosters, etc. then please use the general thread for the Leap Year Celebrations.


You have until March 9th 2012 at 11:59:59 PM ET to enter this BeyLotto.

BeyUK.net closure

Some of you may not be aware, but BeyUK.net has closed down and is no longer present on the Internet apart from our domain name. This has come about because of a mixture of reasons with one of them being that I do not have very much spare time to keep updating BeyUK.net. I spend most of my day working extremely long hours on University work, so as you can imagine, my personal activities have suffered somewhat.

I have agreed for BeyUK.net to be redirected here up until the domain expires. As for the future of BeyUK.net, I don't know. I may bring it back once I'm working and can afford domain and hosting as I currently already pay for a few domains and hosting for my Graphic Design work.

Anyway, I need to thank the Bey Community for keeping BeyUK around as long as it has been, without you the site would have been nothing. I'll be floating around every once in a while, so see you around the forums.

Till next time!
Hey World Bladers,

If you're a Passport Holder, please post once in this thread to be entered in the February 2012 giveaway for a brand new BB-126 Flash Sagittario 230WD! Bladers who post in this thread and do not possess a Blader Passport will have their posts immediately deleted.

To make the deal even sweeter, we will also throw in a free Face Booster for the winner!
This contest will run for just six days until February 29th, 2012, 11:59:59PM EST. Any Passport Holders who post after that date/time will not be entered. The winner will be announced shortly after the date has passed and will have their prize shipped to them free of charge!

Good luck everyone!
Ladies and gentlebladers, entertwine your Blader Spirits on this special day of the Valentines : we love you, and we want to show it to you!

Plus, it’s a special month with one extra day…


Here’s the summary of this announcement:
  • The Indonesian forum now lives!
  • Special Leap Year Celebrations!
  • Upcoming Refill of Blader Rewards!



Our Indonesian userbase has really flourished since the last BeyDays, and they’ve proved that they really deserve to get their own forum where they can speak in a language that is all common to them. Congratulations to you all! If you continue being so active, perhaps we can foresee a very interesting future resembling the Italian forum for you!!

Here’s a message in Indonesian:

Halo beybladers Indonesia! Selamat datang di forum WBO Indonesia. Silahkan dimanfaatkan untuk membahas segala sesuatu yang berhubungan dengan beyblade dan harap mengikuti peraturan-peraturan WBO.

… as well as a banner …


… made by your very own Uwik, who is not only a forum moderator for the Indonesian forum like his comrade wpardin, but who automatically got promoted to Global Moderator too! Congrats!

If you have any issues regarding the Indonesian forum, do not hesitate to contact wpardin, Uwik, or any of the Committee Members!





Love and frenzy are in the air! Let’s see what’s so special about this month:

- Valentine’s Day
- This February has one extra day
- We’ve gotten a whole lot of new information on Beyblade Zero-G and BeyWheelz
- But… most importantly…

There is an unbelievably high number of tournaments for this month which is so cold and so short!


If we compare the number of tournaments in February for the United States to our history of tournaments, such a feat has only ever been done before during the Summer Spin Showdown events in collaboration with Toywiz! And considering that most of this month’s tournaments are probably going to work, this is an awesome record!!


To support this super activity, we’ve decided to open some special LEAP YEAR CELEBRATIONS for the month of February!
  • All competitors in February events will get one extra Credit for participating, so that means that you get at least two Credits just for playing in one of the tournaments!

  • There will be a special BeyLotto that all the players of February tournaments will be able to enter, and the prize is a very special Bey: Wing Pegasis S130RB Memorial Model!! The top winner will also get to choose a Face Booster, and ten additional winners will receive two Face Boosters.


But wait!

We’re also going to include two brand new Face Boosters in the selection to give you a small sneak peak of the things with which we’ll refill the Blader Rewards!


No more on this topic though, we want to leave you some uncertainties so that you can speculate crazily in your mind. Stay close for our next update!




Now that was a lot of news. But guess what? We have a lot more coming up! We all hope you enjoy these celebrations and the Indonesian forum! We love you all!


WBO Facebook! + Rulebooks Changes

  • Kai-V
  • Feb. 07, 2012  2:33 AM
That’s right, the World Beyblade Organization is finally officially on Facebook!

(Click the above picture to access the Facebook Page!)

What’s in it if you’re already a Member here? Not that much since we still want to keep the discussions on here, but we’ll do our best to synchronise our announcements here with the announcements done on our Facebook Page. It’s a known fact that most kids, teenagers, and even adults spend a lot of time on Facebook, so that way you’ll be able to get updates from the WBO directly on Facebook, so you’ll know to head over here as soon as possible in order to observe the changes properly and talk about them.

Hopefully this way we’ll be able to reach out to more Bladers and the tournaments will be even more populated and fun! Who knows, perhaps other regions will start getting activity too!


We won't beg for your votes or anything, but if you like the idea, the World Beyblade Organization, the Page, then Like us on Facebook!




Additionally, we have also done some moderate changes to the Rulebooks.

Universal Rules
Standard Rules

Two modifications that are only for the Universal Rules :
  • the Salamalyon and Gryffolyon Attack Rings are now legal;
  • putting Uriel 2’s rubber tip inside Wolborg 2’s Right Spin Gear (Bearing Version 2) is now legal.

The last change was really common sense in our opinion, but it’s better not to take any chances because apparently such incidents have happened in the past :
  • if accidents take place that disturb the launch of a Blader, such as another player accidentally bumping into them while walking by, then the round is simply restarted without any penalty to either of the battling players.



That's it for now, but you can bet that part of our mysterious conversations where we let nobody know what we're on about is booked with news for the upcoming month, so stay close, and let your BeySpirit shine during this time of cold!
Hey World Bladers,

If you're a Passport Holder, please post once in this thread to be entered in the January 2012 giveaway for a brand new BB-124 Kreis Cygnus 145WD! Bladers who post in this thread and do not possess a Blader Passport will have their posts immediately deleted.

To make the deal even sweeter, we will also throw in a free Face Booster for the winner!
This contest will run for just seven days until January 31st, 2012, 11:59:59PM EST. Any Passport Holders who post after that date/time will not be entered. The winner will be announced shortly after the date has passed and will have their prize shipped to them free of charge!

Good luck everyone!

But there is still no other news about this confirmed season 4.

Hey World Bladers,

I forgot to post this about a week or so ago! I apologize to anyone that was waiting for it. However, it's still December right now (where I live, at least haha), so we can still do this!

If you're a Passport Holder, please post once in this thread to be entered in the December 2011 giveaway for a brand new BB-122 Diablo Nemesis X:D! Bladers who post in this thread and do not possess a Blader Passport will have their posts immediately deleted.

To make the deal even sweeter, we will also throw in a free Face Booster for the winner!
This contest will run for just seven days until January 7th, 2012, 11:59:59PM EST. Any Passport Holders who post after that date/time will not be entered. The winner will be announced shortly after the date has passed and will have their prize shipped to them free of charge!

Good luck everyone!
Hello again all World Beybladers!


This is actually a news that not even the other Committee Members know of at the moment, but it's really awesome and it came right with perfect timing!

You all remember that last Monday, we celebrated Brad Day, right? We took a moment to enjoy the existence of this organization, and we thanked Brad for all he did.

Well, on the same day, we actually got contacted by Elizabeth Blair from the National Public Radio for an interview! Unfortunately, and she had warned me, she did not have enough time given for her story to mention the World Beyblade Organization in the end, but she did actually place our video of the Sliding Shoot Lesson on the matching article for the radio story online! Brad's very own creation, Beyblade Channel's very first lesson video gets featured in such a big radio's story, what a feat!

If you want to read the article and listen to her recording, you can go right here:



You can also read that the United States champion for 2011, Zakiah Garcia, apparently uses Big Bang Pegasis and it seems like he might have used it in the national championships, or at least that's what his speech and the article hint at. It could also just be his nickname for a combination with a Pegasis Clear Wheel, since 4D Beyblades are not supposed to be allowed at all...



In other, older news, this isn't the first time the World Beyblade Organization gets featured in the media: around the beginning of the year, Gulli Mag, a popular French magazine for kids, interviewed Kei (Scott) and I (Virginie) and published our answers in an exclusive Beyblade special issue!

The cover:
[Image: GulliMag_Couverture.jpg]

The pagespread where our interview appears:
[Image: GulliMag_Gros.jpg]

A close-up:
[Image: GulliMag_Section.jpg]

Of course, the words are in French, so here's a translation, but remember that we answered the interviewer's questions almost a year ago, so our suggestions are really outclassed now!

Quote:Pros' tips and experiences
Scott (18 years old) and Virginie (19 years old) are part of the WBO, an organisation of Bladers in Canada. There, Virginie participated in a tournament. Scott, on his side, came in the top 3 in 6 tournaments and won 2 others. Your mag[azine] tells you their experiences and their tips to really get prepared for your upcoming battles...

In what state of mind do you need to be to begin your battles?
Scott: The most important thing is not to undersetimate your opponent. You can't go to your matches thinking that it'll be an easy win. In Beyblade battles, the fight begins even before you've attached your top to the launcher. Preparation is therefore a key element. And you must try to anticipate what top your opponent will use in order to counter it.

What combo would you suggest?
Scott: If you can master your shooting technique, MF Lightning L Drago 100RF is deadly!
Virginie: In a tournament, I've realised that few people succeed with Attack types. I would therefore mostly suggest to use a Defense type or a Stamina type. A Beyblade like Earth Bull 100WD/SD, for instance, should mutliply your chances of winning the battle.

And later in the magazine, the link to our website is repeated as well.



This isn't much news, one could say, but I think it's awesome to see how far this site has gotten from another point of view. Come on, let's try to reach the stars now!

Brad Day III Giveaway Results!

  • Kai-V
  • Dec. 09, 2011  8:32 PM
They're in!

We got an impressive 99 Passport Holders to participate in this giveaway, or 100 if you count me! As Brad was saying in the entry thread, thank you very much to all of you: the Blader Passport was introduced as a useful way to help save money for tournament participants, but its main goal was to help keep this site up, and the amount of Passport registrations I get every month is truly incredible. And people renew their Blader Passports once they've expired too, the good times are never over! Without you, we probably wouldn't be able to maintain this site so well, so thanks!


But out of 100, there can only be 3 top winners, and 10 secondary winners of a Face Booster with a chance to get the very special Brad Face!

And the ten secondary winners are...

Ga'Hooleone
Furydragoon
Hirosan
J o n
Poseidon
lol_lam3r
darkwocher
Dude
The Assassin
RustyXD


Congratulations! You get to choose one of the following Face Boosters, and cross your fingers to receive a Brad Face!



And the luckiest Passport Holders are...

...

majinshadow11!

...

Cookies^^!

...

And Relic!

You three not only get one of the above Face Boosters too, but you will each receive a Beat Lynx TH170WD! Contact Kei to get it.


Long life to leopard print! Happy Brad Day once again!!

Happy Brad Day III !!

  • Kai-V
  • Dec. 05, 2011  2:00 PM
Oh yeah, it’s that day of the year again!


December 5th, right in between the World Beyblade Organization’s creation on December 4th and Brad’s birthday on December 6th :


For this year’s Brad Day, we’ve decided to go for a theme : Brad for Prime Minister!

Every year, Brad becomes less active and less people know him, but for sure we can’t let anyone forget everything he did. He essentially single-handedly made the Beyblade community survive for almost a whole decade and contributed in making it the beast it is right now; he’s truly an innovator. To learn more about everything Brad did for the Beyblade community, you should read this topic.

To go with this edition’s theme, we’ve changed the banner and buttons slightly to include some hints of political icons, notably the things you write on your voting bulletin, as well as the traditional leopard print of course! There is some leather in the announcement banner too.

Brad would be an awesome Prime Minister since he notably keeps his promises, and he strives like a hungry tiger to nurture his passions! So now that we have no problem believing that his reign as a PM would be complete, what’s the most crucial part in being a Prime Minister? The electoral campaign, of course!

Who are the best people to testify for him in his campaign, to tell the world about how great a man he is? How about those who’ve known him for more than half a decade, who saw him grow as an individual as well as his projects?

We’d sincerely like to thank some of the best veterans of the Beyblade community for coming together to deliver a truly powerful message :


You want to continue this movement? You’re not an adult yet and can’t vote? Who cares! Just like how Brad has always been advocating the absence of any age limit in Beyblade, anybody can participate. Record yourself talking about Brad and what he has built, upload it on YouTube, and add it as a video response to Beyblade Channel’s, presented above.



Is that all? No, you know we have other tricks up our sleeves!


Of course, the traditional Brad Day Passport Holders Giveaway is back. This edition’s prize is three Beat Lynx TH170WD, for three different winners!


Not one, but two Face Contests are getting started :
For each of those, you can win another Beat Lynx, so it’s up to you to choose to enter one, the other, or both! It’s an election, come on! To move on with this theme, if he’s up to it, we’ll have Brad directly choose the winner in each Face Contest based on his preference.


Finally, as some of you might have noticed, Hazel and Arupaeo are now Committee Members! Welcome to the Committee, guys!


Were you touched by the compilation of testimonials in the video? You’re thrilled about participating in all the festivities and adding your own video to the testimonials? What are you waiting for?

Today’s the day to claim your vote for Brad loud and clear, enjoy!

Hello World Bladers!


This might sound awkward, but we’re asking you to make a fanart of Brad for this year’s Brad Day! It doesn’t have to be done in pencil, any medium is accepted, it could be a sculpture as far as we know! It doesn’t even really have to actually be an illustration of him, but if you don’t do that, you should also include in your entry an explanation on how your artwork relates to Brad in your opinion. The only limitation is that it can’t really be a text.


The winners will be able to choose one of these:
We definitely like mysteries again. Yet, since this is for Brad Day, we'll let you know one thing: there's a possibility to get a Brad Face in these Face Boosters!

[Image: bface.png]


Like with the other Brad Day Face Contest, the main winner will get a big prize on top of his or her choice of a Face Booster : Beat Lynx TH170WD! The two other secondary winners will get one Face Booster each.

If he wants to and that he does not feel too weird about this Face Contest, we’ll let Brad select his favourite entries, so just be creative and original in your art, that’s what matters.


And now for the rules:
  • Limit one entry per person! Your first entry will be the only one that's considered, so work hard on it! If we see that you’ve edited the post with your first entry, it’s suspicious.
  • The WBO Committee isn't… ineligible this time! Since Brad’s going to judge and that this is for fun anyway, why not?
  • You have until December 19th at 23:59 PM PST to do it. Any entries must be posted before then!
  • Post your entries in this thread! (You can also talk about the contest, ideas, or whatever in this thread as well, but don't ask for direct feedback on your drafts!)
  • Your entry must be a picture or a photograph, and if possible, you should also explain why you did this type of art, what you made and why, etc.


Don’t let the awkwardness ruin your imagination, but be respectful of course!
Brad’s running for Prime Minister (not really)! You would vote for him if it were true? Would you go as far as participating to manifestations to show your support for him and whatever his party would be?


Design a placard in support of Brad’s election to Prime Minister! A placard is that carton you hold high above your head during a manifestation, in support or against a cause. It usually contains clever words on the situation. Therefore, you’re more or less expected to come up with the slogan for Brad’s imaginary party or for him directly as well as the placard itself, and if you want to design his party’s logo too, that’s up to you!


The winners will be able to choose one of these:
Oh no, we won’t make your job easier after this Face Contest by telling you what’s in these Face Boosters already!

But since it's a celebration for Brad Day, you know that you have a chance to get the very special Brad Face!

[Image: bface.png]


There will be one big winner of a Beat Lynx TH170WD and a Face Booster, as well as two secondary winners who will get to choose one of the above Face Boosters too.

There are not really any criteria for this Face Contest since, if possible, we’ll simply let Brad choose his favourite placard out of all the entries, but just remember to always be original, creative, and try to add a touch of humour!


And now for the rules:
  • Limit one entry per person! Your first entry will be the only one that's considered, so work hard on it! If we see that you’ve edited the post with your first entry, it’s suspicious.
  • The WBO Committee isn't eligible, as usual... but only for the main prize! This time, it’s more of a fun Face Contest, so Committee Members can enter for one of the secondary prizes.
  • You have until December 19th at 23:59 PM PST to do it. Any entries must be posted before then!
  • Post your entries in this thread! (You can also talk about the contest, ideas, or whatever in this thread as well, but don't ask for direct feedback on your drafts!)
  • Your entry must contain a picture or a photograph, you cannot just post a slogan.


It’s a tough election, you’ve got to show your support for "Brad for PM"! Good luck, who knows what Brad would choose for his own electoral campaign…

The traditional Brad Day giveaway is back! As usual, this is only open to Passport Holders. The entry period is until December 7th 12:59PM EST. You could therefore purchase a Blader Passport until that date!

This year's prizes are three Beat Lynx TH170WD!

Furthermore, there will be ten additional winners who will get to choose one of these Face Boosters:


But wait, each of those Face Boosters has an extra Face possibility: the Brad Face!

[Image: bface.png]

It can't be traded, so now's your chance!


To enter, simply post in this topic. Committee Members are eligible, but only for the Faces!

I wanted to let you all know that at the moment we cannot ship out any cards, but will be looking into using a third-party provider in the future so that we can order and ship them directly online, which we think will be more efficient than printing them then shipping to regional representatives and then shipping again to whoever requests them.

At the moment we just do not have a proper process in place internally to do this, so it will take some time.

Stay tuned for updates in the future:

The WBO introduces yet another exciting campaign to help with its promotion offline this time. With this, we hope that it will make finding fellow Bladers in your region much easier so more tournaments can be organised all around the world! Let's introduce the Promo Cards:

Their design is representative of the World Beyblade Organization, and there is a white box for you to write your username on the back, that way newcomers could put you as their referral, and you'd be getting closer to that sweet Amber Face for five referrals!

In theory, the concept for these Promo Cards is similar to "passing it forward": you should never remain in possession of one of those cards for very long, because once you have acknowledged the World Beyblade Organization, the address is easy enough to remember, so you should pass it forward to get another person interested in this site! That being said, we will try to refill the stock of cards as much as possible if there were to be a real shortage in certain areas.


As for the initial distribution of the Promo Cards across the globe, what we've done is that we have selected Country/Area Representatives whom we judged we could trust, and who were ready to commit to this project. They have already received a basic number of cards, and their work is to provide Promo Cards to the members who are in their area and who ask for a certain amount of Promo Cards. For instance, if someone was in Ontario, they would have to ask Kei, who lives in Toronto and who is the closest Representative.

How you can use these cards is simple:
  • You wander around, outside or in school, and you see people playing with Beyblades? Whip out a Promo Card and give it to them like a real professional.
  • You go to a "tournament" hosted in a Toys "R" Us or elsewhere by Hasbro? After defeating your opponents, give them this magical card that will change their Beyblading career!
  • You know a local hobby shop who might have some clients interested in Beyblades? Ask them if you couldn't leave a small pile of cards at the counter for anyone to take if they're curious.
  • For the rest, be creative!



So, interested in helping out with this campaign and you want some cards? Simply post on this topic, write where you live, and we will redirect you to the closest Area Representative to you so you two can discuss this transfer of cards.

All expenses linked to the shipping of the cards from me to the Country/Area Representatives and from the latter to those who request Promo Cards are paid by the World Beyblade Organization.

Yo, World/US Bladers!


The Summer Spin Showdown presented by the Toywiz and the World Beyblade Organization is officially over! Through the course of one month, excitement has been through the roof, obstacles were met, but what's important is that during the month of August, Beyblade was alive in the United States!

In retrospective, we'd like to hear your comments about this whole project, this collaboration. Are there things you think we can and should change as an organisation; do you have some constructive criticism about the host in your region; etc.?


But also, what did you purchase with your prizes or your participation coupon-code? Toywiz has tons of Beyblade products to offer, so how did you intensify your collection?!
