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...

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

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?

Brad Day III Face Contest: Brad Fanart!
- Kai-V
- Dec. 05, 2011 1:57 PM
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:
Don’t let the awkwardness ruin your imagination, but be respectful of course!

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 Day III Face Contest: Create a Placard for "Brad for PM!"
- Kai-V
- Dec. 05, 2011 1:55 PM
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:
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…

- 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…

WBO Promo Card Campaign - New Distribution Method Coming Soon
- Kai-V
- Oct. 10, 2011 2:21 AM
This initiative is currently inactive:
Stay tuned for updates in the future:
Original Post:
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:
![[Image: giphy.gif]](https://media.giphy.com/media/3og0ISQz9ZKVS2Tp72/giphy.gif)
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:
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.
JOB OFFERS
And you, who's new to this site, did you get recruited with the help of these Promo Cards? If so, feel free to post in this topic, we'd be very happy to know how successful this campaign is!
(Apr. 21, 2019 12:03 AM)Kei Wrote: Hey guys, sorry for the silence on this initiative. 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:

- 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!

Summer Spin Showdown - Retrospective
- Kai-V
- Sep. 06, 2011 6:17 PM
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?!

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.?

50,000 Members Celebration + MyBB Upgrade = Tons of Awesome!
- Kai-V
- Aug. 14, 2011 5:22 PM
Welcome back to this new, slightly fresher World Beyblade Organization!
As you can see, we've successfully upgraded to the latest version of MyBB, which was long overdue. Since we just did a relatively big step in terms of versions, there are a few cool features associated with that version that will surely make you jump from joy:
On top of that, we have added some extra protections against SPAM accounts, for both bots and actual human beings.
(Some things like the header need some more work, but if you notice any bigger errors or details that should be changed, just send me a private message!)
... Where have Pegasis and Storm Pegasis gone, you ask?
… What is this, 50,000 members?!? It’s time for celebrations!!
As you can see, we used this opportunity to introduce a slight change of layout. Our banner now features Big Bang Pegasis and establishes a parallel with TAKARA-TOMY's abstract new designs for the 4D boxes and images.
Furthermore, the Pegasis forum icon has been replaced by Big Bang Pegasis as well. It was hard to work with it since we wanted to keep a blue and orange colour scheme, but I think we have managed to do it well, and we couldn't have done it without The Fire Wyrm's very generous help with this sprite!
But this isn’t nearly enough for a celebration of this milestone of users, so here comes the rest!
We hope you enjoy these news with all your Beyheart!
As you can see, we've successfully upgraded to the latest version of MyBB, which was long overdue. Since we just did a relatively big step in terms of versions, there are a few cool features associated with that version that will surely make you jump from joy:
- There is a Search function for private messages!!
- Videos can now easily be embedded into posts.
- Users currently reading a thread can be seen on the page of the topic.
- No more accidental, automatic double-posting for Internet Explorer users!
- In the Member List, you can smoothly choose the letter a member's username begins with instead of going through the pages to reach that letter eventually.
- The time of long quotes with several messages in them is gone! There will now be a limit of 2 quoted messages per quote.
- We will have an easy and fast way to delete all of a banned user's posts, if we ever get such bad times again.
- If we are ever to use prefixes again, there should be no technical problem with them not showing up sometimes since they will now be directly integrated in the system.
- This issue wasn't so spread, but avatars that were just changed will now automatically be recognised by everybody's browser, insteaf of temporarily showing the old avatar until you actually refresh a page where the user with that avatar has posted.
On top of that, we have added some extra protections against SPAM accounts, for both bots and actual human beings.

Now, what will we do with all these Credits accumulated from hills of awesome tournaments... Bring out a new Credits Campaign, of course!
Introducing the Blader Rewards for the celebration of our 50,000 members: this will be the name for our general Credits Campaign, because who knows, prizes may change over time! The way of getting Credits hasn't changed though:
For getting the 1st place in a tournament: +3
For getting the 2nd place in a tournament: +2
For getting the 3rd place in a tournament: +1
For winning the majority of your matches: +1
Organising a tournament: +1
Participating in a tournament: +1
However, you'll be drooling once you see the prize list:

The very generous donations we have been getting compared to last time with the Quest for Quetz also helped us determine that we should go for rare items now.
Please note that there might be a certain delay between when you request for something in exchange for your Credits and when your item gets shipped. In order to be economic, we will try to wait to get a few shipments to do at once instead of doing each one on a separate day. Of course the item's going to be reserved for you anyway though!

Face Trading is now allowed!
- Kai-V
- Aug. 14, 2011 5:14 PM
In response to the popular demand, we have decided to allow Face Trading.
The concept is really simple: if you have a Face in your profile which you might want to get rid of, and you know that someone else has a Face you would like to get and that they’re looking for your Face, then trade!
However, we need to set some rules:
Here’s the list of Faces, for reference:
http://worldbeyblade.org/myawards.php
That’s it, we hope you will be able to decorate your profile with more Faces you want!
The concept is really simple: if you have a Face in your profile which you might want to get rid of, and you know that someone else has a Face you would like to get and that they’re looking for your Face, then trade!
However, we need to set some rules:
- All discussions of actual Face Trading must be done in private messages. This means that we should not see comments like this in any thread: “Hey, User1, would you like to trade your Dragoon Face for my Driger Face?†Send a private message directly to that user instead of making a post about it on a public forum.
- Once the two of you have agreed on what you want to trade, both of you need to contact Hazel so that we can make sure that both members agree with this exchange, and so we know what will be exchanged. Please try not to fill his inbox, only send one message each!
- We’d like to set a limit of two trades per user per month. Choose wisely when you look at the possible Faces you could get!
- The only Faces eligible for trading are Faces obtained from Face Boosters exclusively. Obviously nobody in their right mind would exchange a Lapis Lazuli Face for a Dranzer Face.
Here’s the list of Faces, for reference:
http://worldbeyblade.org/myawards.php
That’s it, we hope you will be able to decorate your profile with more Faces you want!
Upcoming Maintenance on Sunday August 14th at 12 PM GMT.

Hello all World Bladers,
This Sunday, we'll be doing the real upgrade we were just trying the other time. The site should only be down for around two hours, but this time it should be completely down. So, don't worry, all of it will be done on purpose and as I had mentioned for the previous maintenance, if everything goes according to the plan, then we've got a few surprises for you when we come back after 2 PM GMT!

This Wednesday, I will be attempting to upgrade our site to one of the latest versions of MyBB.
While chances are that this upgrade will be unsuccessful, even if it does work, I will make us go back to exactly what it is right now, without any lost data. I simply really need to at least try this upgrade, and for that the board needs to be turned off for a while.
As I mentioned, rest assured : nothing will be lost, the site will go back to exactly what it was on Wednesday right before 1 PM Eastern Time.
The real upgrade will take place in the upcoming weeks, with some surprises!

HMS & Plastics Remembrance Day - July 17th and WBO OP Official Rules Release 4.0!
- Kei
- Jul. 04, 2011 2:17 AM
Hey World Bladers!
Over the past few years, we've all become engrossed in Metal Fight Beyblade, but we mustn't ever forget the systems that started it all …! Plastics and the Heavy Metal System! That's why the WBO is declaring Sunday, July 17th, 2011 HMS & Plastics Remembrance Day around the world!
Here are the tournaments we currently have lined up!:
More tournaments will be added soon! If you're interested in hosting a tournament on HMS & Plastics Remembrance Day, post a proposal in the Event Proposals forum.
Now, while we unfortunately will not be processing these tournaments into the BeyPoints System, Faces will still be awarded, and to help make up for the lack of BeyPoints, we will be awarding Extra Credits! to all HMS & Plastics Remembrance Day participants! Instead of the usual +1 for attending a tournament, you will receive +3! And we aren't stopping there! We will also be doing another "BeyLotto"! But this time, it will be HMS & Plastics-themed!
Everyone who enters a HMS & Plastics Remembrance Day tournament anywhere in the world will be given a number, and will be put into an exclusive lottery draw for these awesome, classic prizes!:
All physical prizes are either NIB/NIP or brand new/unused, by the way! And also, because some tournament organizers may not be able to secure prizes for their tournaments in time, the top two prizes from the BeyLotto will be limited to the Bladers who finish in the top three of their local tournament.
Additionally, in celebration of HMS & Plastics Remembrance Day, we've also added four new avatars to the default gallery:
And finally … WBO Organized Play Official Rules Standard/Universal Release 4.0 is here!

This is a huge update, so let me outline all of the changes here:

P.S. If any of you are wondering "What about the new campaign?", please rest assured … we are still working on it! It's well worth the wait, trust us.

And finally … WBO Organized Play Official Rules Standard/Universal Release 4.0 is here!
Standard Rules | Universal Rules
This is a huge update, so let me outline all of the changes here:
- All rule updates outlined in "3.6" have been added to this release. Please see this thread for details regarding those updates.
- The Super Attack Stadium is no longer legal in the Standard Format.
- The Triple Battle Type Stadium is now legal for all formats.
- The following passage has been added to the Stalling Clause description:
Stalling Clause Wrote:This clause can only last a maximum of four minutes, after which both Bladers must be ready to initiate the BeyBattle. Unless due to a technical issue (i.e. a Blader cannot find a Tool to assemble their Beyblade), any longer delay will be counted as an automatic loss of the BeyBattle by the Blader causing the delay. The judge should demonstrate reasonable discretionary power.
- A BeyLauncher LR section has been added to help clarify its use:
BeyLauncher LR Wrote:The Beylauncher LR must be used with its cap.
Spin direction can be changed on the Beylauncher LR in between rounds, but it may not be changed when a Beyblade is already attached to one of its sets of prongs. This rule applies to all dual-spin launchers. - A Rev Up Launcher section has been added to help clarify its use:
Rev Up Launcher Wrote:The Rev-Up Launcher must be used either in the same method as with a Beylauncher, or with its proper use, by revving it up.
This launcher can only be revved during the countdown, before “Shoot!†or “rip!†are said. - The bolded in the following quote has been added to the "Rules of Shooting" section:
Rules of Shooting Wrote:Each Blader is allowed only the space of half the BeyStadium while preparing to launch and while launching. The limit should be parallel to both Bladers. Any disrespect of this rule, after reasonable warning by the judge, will count as an automatic loss of the round for the offending Blader.
…
If a winder-based Launcher is being used, a legal launch consists of the winder being pulled out of the shooter, rather than pushed in.
- In the "Selection of Beyblade and Launcher" section, this:
Selection of Beyblade and Launcher Wrote:Once the Beyblade is attached to the Launcher, that Beyblade must be used for the duration of the BeyBattle.
Has been updated to the following:
Selection of Beyblade and Launcher Wrote:Once the Beyblade is attached to a Launcher, that Beyblade must be used for the duration of the BeyBattle.
- The Reshoot Clause description has been updated to include the following:
Reshoot Clause Wrote:When this clause is invoked, the Blader and their opponent may also change their launchers if they wish (the opposing Blader may only replace his or her launcher if the Blader invoking the Reshoot Clause chooses to do so him/herself). The replacement launchers must be of the same spin direction as the launcher that their Beyblade was previously attached to (ie. If the Blader was using a Light Launcher 2 previously, they must replace it with something such as the BeyLauncher, or the BeyLauncher LR in right spin mode).
- The BeyLauncher L section has been updated slightly to cover all left-spin/dual-spin Beyblades, rather than just L Drago or Lightning L Drago:
BeyLauncher L Wrote:The BeyLauncher L is designed to be compatible with left-spin or dual-spin Beyblades only.
You may not use the BeyLauncher-L to make other Wheels spin counter-clockwise.
Likewise, for any launchers with a set of single-spin prongs, you may not use left-spin prongs for right-spin-only Beyblades, and vice-versa with left-spin only Beyblades on right- spin prongs. For instance, L Drago and Lightning L-Drago pertain to the second category. Gravity Perseus and Vari Ares are the only Beyblades that can use both spin rotations.
Phew … that's it! Now, let's all dust off our HMS and Plastics and prepare for HMS & Plastics Remembrance Day!!
P.S. If any of you are wondering "What about the new campaign?", please rest assured … we are still working on it! It's well worth the wait, trust us.
Survey! Where are the tournament organisers in the USA?

Expiration of a few Blader Passports
- Kai-V
- Jun. 04, 2011 7:51 PM
We just cleaned up all the archives on the Passport Face, and to reflect on the fact that several Blader Passports have expired (they last only one year), many of you do not have a Passport Face anymore.
In fact, there were way too many users who were still active competitively and who had entered recent events with an expired Blader Passport. In the future, if you do not renew your Blader Passport for a whole new year, you will be asked to pay the regular entry fee of $5 USD otherwise you cannot participate in the tournament.
If you had actually sent in another payment to renew your Blader Passport and that we still deleted your Passport Face, contact Kei and I so we can all look into the issue and confirm whether we did get your $10 USD or not.
Be quick, the BeyLotto will begin very soon and the best prizes are for Passport Holders!
