WBO Organizer's Guide Updates May 2019: Entry Fee, Prize, Passport Updates & More

Outlined below are several important new updates to the WBO Organized Play Organizer’s Guide. All Organizers are required to be familiar with these updates.
Updates Overview
![[Image: b7Gk3gr.png]](https://i.imgur.com/b7Gk3gr.png)
IMPORTANT All Events Temporarily Free-To-Enter, Prize Reimbursement Temporarily Suspended & Blader Passport Subscriptions Temporarily Suspended
Until further notice:
Currently active Blader Passports will be extended accordingly once this period has ended based on the number of days since this announcement (for example, if it lasts for 30 days and you have a Blader Passport, the original end date for your Blader Passport will be extended by 30 days).
The reason for this is two-fold: there are some new requirements by our payment processing system PayPal that we are working to meet, and we have also been considering a restructuring of how we manage event fees, including removing the Passport Bit entirely in an effort to streamline our work load. But we will need to evaluate other alternatives for tracking the start/end date of Blader Passports in order to do that.
Currently, users who subscribe to a Blader Passport online are automatically added to the “Passport” usergroup which indicates they have a Blader Passport, but does not show when the start date was. The Passport Bit displays the start date, but needs to be manually awarded by a Committee Member … which is highly inefficient.
When the WBO first started this was not much of an issue due to the low volume of events and players, but over the years this has steadily required a greater and greater investment of time and it would seem that now is a good time for us to find a better way because as a volunteer organization, our time individually is limited and would be better spent on more valuable things for the WBO.
In the meantime, enjoy the free events.
Updated, Relaxed Requirements for Unranked Events Spreadsheets
The results spreadsheets for unranked WBO Organized Play events now do not need to include a full recording of the match results if you post a link to your Challonge bracket in the tournament thread along with the link to your otherwise complete spreadsheet. This applies to Club Format events run using Round Robin Deck Format as well.
If you are running Club Format using the Winning Streak Format, you do not need to include the results themselves at all in your spreadsheet or otherwise (as that format cannot be performed using Challonge).
We realize that we ask a lot of our Organizers. We do so in order to maintain a standard level of quality and consistency across all of our events worldwide, but we also realize that over the years maybe too much bureaucracy has accumulated, so we’re happy to start by relaxing the requirements for unranked events where ultimately, including results in the spreadsheet does not matter because they don’t need to be copy/pasted for processing in to the rankings.
We hope that this will make it a bit easier for you guys to host unranked events like those using the ongoing experimental Burst Classic Format!
Introducing the WBO Challonge Community
We are happy to announce that we have now created a new official World Beyblade Organization Challonge “Community” page!
New Organizer Requirements:
1. All WBO Organizers are required to post their Challonge username here.
2. All future WBO events hosted through Challonge must be hosted through this page.
![[Image: cOiN31i.png]](https://i.imgur.com/cOiN31i.png)
Organizers, once you have provided your Challonge username, we will invite you as a “Collaborator”. From that point onward, whenever hosting an official WBO Organized Play event, all of your Challonge tournament brackets must be created within the WBO Challonge Community.
Challonge Communities carry a wide variety of features useful for competitive communities, but we are implementing it into our process solely for the ability to capture all WBO Challonge event pages into one central repository.
Currently, all WBO Organizers create tournament brackets within their own personal Challonge accounts. By having Organizers create their tournament brackets within the WBO Challonge Community, it will be easier for us to track the results of events after they happen.
Communities on Challonge also allow you to integrate “Events”, which is useful for events which take place over several days such as BEYBLADE NORTH 2019.
Simplified Warning Guidelines for Failure to Submit Tournament Information
Some time ago we introduced new guidelines for warning Organizers who did not submit their tournament information on time. While well-intentioned, we’ve realized over time that the multi-stage approach was too complex for us to enforce as a volunteer organization. As such, we have decided to simplify them.
Effective now, WBO staff reserves the right to issue warnings to Organizers using their judgment based on the general Low-, Medium-, or High-Impact guidelines listed under “Organizer Violations” on our Community Rules.
Discontinuation of Blader Rewards/Credits Campaign
For reasons similar to the above issue with the Blader Passport, we have also decided to officially discontinue Blader Rewards. All outstanding Credits that have not been awarded will not be awarded.
Any users with existing Credits on their user profiles (under “Credits”) may exchange them for any of the remaining physical items or Bit Boosters on the list by July 1st, 2019 by PMing ~Mana~ and myself. On July 2nd, 2019, all Credits will become void. If there is any physical prizes on the Blader Rewards list remaining after this date, we will use them in a future giveaway.
We’ve also added in several of the newer and limited Bit Boosters–like Bit Booster GENERATIONS I–to the list of redeemable prizes, so take this chance to bolster your Bit collection!
This has been on the back-burner for a long time due to our focus on catching up with actually processing results into the rankings first and we’ve come to the realization that we simply do not have the time or manpower on staff currently to continue managing it.
Awarding Credits had to be done manually by staff, and also created more work for Organizers who had to calculate/record them in their spreadsheets for every tournament. Then, all prize requests had to be manually tracked and ordered …
While always challenging to manage, like the Blader Passport, it was easier to do so during the early years of the WBO when it was first introduced. We’ve grown so much since then that now seems like a good opportunity to re-evaluate how we can best and most efficiently offer prizing for WBO events and players.
Having to manage the ordering of prizes on an intermittent basis for things such as BeyDays or our anniversary is one thing, but having to manage this on an ongoing basis is beyond what we are capable or willing to commit to at this point. We ask for your kind understanding in this matter and thank everyone for helping to make Blader Rewards more successful than we ever imagined it would be.
We hope that with the discontinuation of this campaign, staff will have more time to focus on other areas of the community and the work load for Organizers will be lightened, if only a little bit.
To go along with this update we have also updated the WBO Results Spreadsheet template to no longer mention Credits. It can be found in our Rules & Resources folder or by clicking below.
Sections Added for Inviting Players & Pre-Processing Events
We’ve added in sections to the Organizer's Guide for the previously announced Player Invite and Pre-Processing features to ensure all new Organizers learn about them!:
BeyDays 2019 Delay and Consolidation with Beyblade Remembrance
As many of you may know, around the end of May each year is when we hold our annual celebration of Beyblade called “BeyDays”. Regrettably, due to some of the issues described at the start of this post, we do not feel we would be able to do it justice this year in terms of offering the prizing BeyDays has become known for.
As a result, we’ve made the decision to delay BeyDays 2019 until later this summer. In addition, we will also be taking this opportunity to consolidate BeyDays and our yearly “Beyblade Remembrance” event (which typically happens in the summer) into one.
We feel that through this consolidation we’ll be able to focus our efforts a bit more and deliver a community event that everyone can be excited about! Please stay tuned for more.

Post-Tournament Responsibilities – Pre-Processing Tournament Results (Optional) Wrote:After you have completed your results spreadsheet, you can easily pre-process them on the page for your event so that the Organized Play Contributor team can more quickly input them into the rankings when it is time.
This is optional, but a huge help to WBO staff who manage the queue of events to be processed into the rankings. Learn How to Pre-Process Here.
Tournament Management – Tournament Invites Wrote:Once you have created your Event page, click the “Join Tournament” button to access the "Invite Players" section. Type in up to 25 usernames at a time and instantly send invitation PMs and notifications to the chosen Bladers.

WBO Organizer's Guide Updates April 2019: Changes to Planning, Systems & Management
- Kei
- Apr. 22, 2019 2:39 AM
Outlined below are several important new ruling additions, updates, and clarifications to the WBO Organized Play Organizer’s Guide.
All Organizers are required to be familiar with these updates.
This expansive update is informed largely by our experience over the past year with large events such as Beytuber Brawl and BEYBLADE SHOGATSU 2019; the WBO Organized Play Beyblade community has reached new milestones in terms of tournament size exceeding 160 players in both of the aforementioned cases.
The Organizer’s Guide was originally written during a time when our events were much smaller, but larger events bring along with them a whole new set of concerns and responsibilities which Organizers need to be conscious of when organizing and preparing for their events.
The most major points relate to participant capping, venue capacity, updated Tournament System guidelines, sponsorship, and a wide variety of other guidelines which we hope will help Organizers plan for and manage their events better.

WBO Organized Play Rule Updates Mar 2019: Mode, Gachi, SlingShock Clarifications
- Kei
- Mar. 19, 2019 5:17 AM
Outlined below are several important new ruling additions, updates, and clarifications to the WBO Organized Play Burst Format rulebook. View all WBO Organized Play Rules & Resources here, and a summary of the changes below:
Rule Updates Overview
Burst Format Updates
IMPORTANT Burst Format: Parts With Multiple Modes – Initial Mode Selection Clarifications
When using a part with multiple modes which requires disassembly to change (such as Legend Spriggan), the mode cannot be changed after it is presented to the judge during the Beyblade Selection phase until the first round of the match has been played.
In the case of Layers such as Cho-Z Spriggan and Spriggan Requiem/Spryzen Requiem:
![[Image: koohgf3.png]](https://i.imgur.com/koohgf3.png)
Burst Format: Gatinko Layer Rulings
We have added in several clarifications to cover rulings related to the brand new Gatinko Layer System:
Swapping Gatinko Layer Components is Not Considered a “Mode Change”
Final Stage – Deck Format
Burst Format: Deck Format – Drivers and SlingShock Counterparts Cannot Be Repeated
We have clarified that including both the regular version of a Driver (whether it be Hasbro or TAKARA-TOMY) and the Hasbro Slingshock version is not permitted while constructing your Deck. They are considered to be the “same” part, and therefore cannot be repeated.
New Experimental Format: Burst Classic Testing Continues!
The experimental Burst Classic Format discussion has been ongoing over the past few months now and we’ve had a few test events since then trying it out.
The format is still very much in the experimental stage, so we encourage more Organizers to try it out for their events and for all members to provide their feedback and testing to help us perfect it!

In the case of Layers such as Cho-Z Spriggan and Spriggan Requiem/Spryzen Requiem:
Beyblade/Part-Specific Rulings – Spriggan Requiem/Spryzen Requiem Wrote:Players must select the mode of Spriggan Requiem or Spryzen Requiem during the Beyblade Selection phase before showing it to the judge for inspection. After submitting their combination for inspection, they may not change the mode for the duration of the match.
Beyblade/Part-Specific Rulings – Cho-Z Spriggan Wrote:Players must select the mode of Cho-Z Spriggan during the Beyblade Selection phase before showing it to the judge for inspection. After submitting their combination for inspection, they may not change the mode for the duration of the match.
Burst Format: Gatinko Layer Rulings
We have added in several clarifications to cover rulings related to the brand new Gatinko Layer System:
Swapping Gatinko Layer Components is Not Considered a “Mode Change”
Beyblade/Part-Specific Rulings – Gatinko Layers Wrote:Gatinko Layer combinations are considered to be separate parts. Regular mode changing rules (see Gameplay Appendix) for Layers that require disassembly and have mode changes (like Alter Chronos or Legend Spriggan) do not apply to Gatinko Layers because the different configurations are considered as separate Layers and not “modes”. Therefore, you cannot switch your configuration of a Gatinko Layer during a first stage or final stage match.
Final Stage – Deck Format
Deck Building Wrote:If using Gatinko Layers, no components (Base, Weight, Gatinko Chip) may be repeated across different combinations.
Burst Format: Deck Format – Drivers and SlingShock Counterparts Cannot Be Repeated
We have clarified that including both the regular version of a Driver (whether it be Hasbro or TAKARA-TOMY) and the Hasbro Slingshock version is not permitted while constructing your Deck. They are considered to be the “same” part, and therefore cannot be repeated.
Beyblade/Part-Specific Rulings – SlingShock Drivers Wrote:All SlingShock Drivers (such as Eternal-S, Jolt-S, Accel-S) and their regular counterparts (such as Eternal, Jolt, and Accel) cannot both be included within your Deck during a Deck Format match at the same time. For example, if you have a combination with Eternal-S in your Deck, you cannot also use Eternal.
New Experimental Format: Burst Classic Testing Continues!
The experimental Burst Classic Format discussion has been ongoing over the past few months now and we’ve had a few test events since then trying it out.
The format is still very much in the experimental stage, so we encourage more Organizers to try it out for their events and for all members to provide their feedback and testing to help us perfect it!

IMPORTANT Burst Format: Dead/Perfect/Imperfect/Revive Phoenix & Phoenix P4 Usage Clarifications
First Stage
The Revive Phoenix/Dead Phoenix Layer Body and the Revive/Dead Armour are considered to be separate parts.
Regular mode changing rules (see Gameplay Appendix of Burst Format rulebook) for Layers that require disassembly and have mode changes (like Alter Chronos or Legend Spriggan) do not apply to rP, dP, pP, and iP because the different configurations are considered as separate Layers and not “modes”.
Therefore, you cannot switch your configuration of rP, dP, pP, or iP during a regular first stage match.
Final Stage (Deck Format)
The Revive Phoenix Layer Body and Dead Phoenix Layer Body and the Revive/Dead Armors cannot be repeated within decks or switched between rounds in the Final Stage.
Therefore, it is legal to include rP + dP OR pP + iP in your Deck, but not any other combination of configurations.
Note: “pP” refers to Perfect Phoenix (Revive Phoenix Layer Body + Dead Armor) and “iP” refers to “Imperfect Phoenix” (Dead Phoenix Layer Body + Revive Armor).

Phoenix P4
Hasbro’s Phoenix P4 Energy Layer may not be mixed with pieces from TAKARA-TOMY’s Revive or Dead Phoenix and vice-versa for both with Phoenix P4.
New Experimental Format: Burst Classic Testing Continues!
First announced alongside our January 2019 Rule Updates, the experimental Burst Classic Format discussion has been ongoing over the past month and we’ve had a few test events since then trying it out.

Dead & Revive Armour Gameplay Rule Updates
We’ve updated the gameplay ruling description for Revive Armour to include Dead Armour and the various configurations of the Layer:
Dead Armour & Revive Armour Wrote:The Revive Phoenix “Revive Armour” or Dead Phoenix “Dead Armour” (the outer ring of the Layer Body which can pop off mid-battle) must be used with one of the Layer Body pieces from either Beyblade. When the ring comes off during battle it is considered an active piece in the stadium as part of the Dead/Revive/Perfect/Imperfect Phoenix combination in use. This means any hits, KO, or Burst it inflicts on the opposing Beyblade are considered to be Dead/Revive/Perfect/Imperfect Phoenix’s. Players and judges should not try to pick up the Dead Armour or Revive Armour at all until the round has ended. The armour piece attached to the Layer Body the beginning of the battle must be reattached after each round it comes off.
Phoenix P4
Hasbro’s Phoenix P4 Energy Layer may not be mixed with pieces from TAKARA-TOMY’s Revive or Dead Phoenix and vice-versa for both with Phoenix P4.

New Experimental Format: Burst Classic

New Year, New Look: Major Theme Updates for WBO X!
- ~Mana~
- Dec. 05, 2018 5:01 AM
Back in December 2016, we launched a complete WBO rebrand as part of our 8th Anniversary celebrations, which included a brand-new responsive theme across our entire site. But unfortunately, despite all the immense benefits the new design offered, many features were lost in the transition to this design.
As you can see already; today, we launched our much anticipated rewrite of our now-feature-complete Responsive theme, and have also deployed a number of brand-new features to improve your experience across the site!
In this thread, I'll be going over some of our brand-new features and what they mean for you and your communities, as well as touching on a few of our future plans as well.
Battle Histories
![[Image: 9Mp7ZkJ.png]](https://i.imgur.com/9Mp7ZkJ.png)
Ever wanted to know exactly how you did in a tournament - the tournament, the result, how many points you gained - all at a glance? Meet our Battle Histories!
Battle Histories are your main point of interest for all of a Blader's tournament progress. By heading over to a Blader's user profile - for example, yours or mine! - you'll be able to see the results of Bladers within any processed tournaments that they've taken part in, alongside a breakdown of their running BeyRank scores and total wins and losses!
Please note that this feature will not appear on the profiles of Bladers who have not participated in any processed events! If you want to build up your Battle History portfolio on your profile, consider joining one of our Organized Play tournaments in your area!
Processed Tournament Pages – Full Match Listing
![[Image: bG0IbPp.png]](https://i.imgur.com/bG0IbPp.png)
![[Image: WBO-Beyblade-Tournament-All-Matches-Modal-Window.jpg]](https://worldbeyblade.org/images/WBO-Beyblade-Tournament-All-Matches-Modal-Window.jpg)
Included on event pages for tournaments which have been processed into our rankings (like this one) is a new section at the top called "Tournament Results". Clicking "View Matches" will pull up a window listing all of the matches for all users in that specific tournament.
This way, you now have the ability to not only view a specific set of matches for a specific user (Battle History described above), but the ability to view a specific set of matches for a specific tournament.
Tournament Invitations
![[Image: WBO-Invitation-Button-Tournament.png]](https://worldbeyblade.org/images/10thanniversary/WBO-Invitation-Button-Tournament.png)
Your tournament thread has been approved, the words "0 Bladers registered" staring into your soul, but there's no easy way to invite Bladers in your community to your tournament!
Well, this one will make Organizers everywhere rejoice! The ability to send Tournament Invitations to other users on site has now been added! Organizers can now click a new "Invite Participants" button located on their tournament thread to instantly send PMs and notifications to chosen Bladers about their event!
![[Image: ouIx0YT.png]](https://i.imgur.com/ouIx0YT.png)
Organizer Processing
![[Image: r3oHMg8.png]](https://i.imgur.com/r3oHMg8.png)
We touched on this feature back during BeyDays 2018, and launched it at around the same time as well. So why are we mentioning it again?
Well, Organizer Processing was always designed with our theme rewrite in mind, and we're happy to report that as of today, we've reached our final version of this feature, with full support for the theme rewrite and all the bugs ironed out!
For those who aren't familiar with the feature, Organizer Processing has allowed tournament organizers to enter in the results for tournaments themselves using a specialist tool, and then save them for our Organized Play team to hit the button and process! With this process and new tool, what used to take ~30 minutes per tournament for the Committee to do now takes Organizers and the Organized Play team under a minute to do from start to finish! An incredible improvement!
![[Image: I5XYN4N.png]](https://i.imgur.com/I5XYN4N.png)
And of course, if you find yourself looking at an older tournament thread - perhaps having clicked the link for one in our new Battle Histories feature! - you're now able to see the winners for that event on the top of the thread! The Tournament Results option will also show you the results for all matches that took place within that tournament as well! Go check it out!
Tournament Thread Adjustments
We've been keeping a close eye on the layout of our tournament threads and looking closely into what we can do to streamline and simplify areas for both attendees and Organizers! Ready for an onslaught of quality of life changes for our tournament thread layout? Here we go!
![[Image: WBO-Event-Pages-Admission-Notes-Feature.jpg]](https://worldbeyblade.org/images/10thanniversary/WBO-Event-Pages-Admission-Notes-Feature.jpg)
The Admission Fee box now has a dedicated area for notes pertaining to the admission fee! This is particularly useful for those Organizers who host convention-based tournaments and require all participants to visit somewhere else to get a convention ticket, or for tournaments that take place within a shop and require admission fees to be paid at a specific desk. The possibilities are endless, so use this how you see fit!
We've also made it so the Admission Fee box no longer shows the "Passport admission fee" if both prices are the same. This was a confusing area for attendees of convention-based events specifically, where both prices were almost always the same and raised more questions than answers.
![[Image: WBO-Event-Pages-Format-Boxes.png]](https://worldbeyblade.org/images/10thanniversary/WBO-Event-Pages-Format-Boxes.png)
"Burst Format", "HMS Format", "Plastics Format, "Zero-G Format" - We get it, there's a lot of different Formats in Beyblade, and it's not always easy for everyone to tell if they Beyblades they're collecting are appropriate for a certain tournament. So we've added an image representation for these within this box, along with a button to direct you to the appropriate rulebook! We hope this clears up some of the confusion that can occur when planning what to take from your collection for a specific event!

With tournaments in the past year hitting an all-time high, it has become harder and harder for Organizers to inform each and every participant about guidelines and registration, so we've taken the liberty to add a "Need-to-Know Information" section! This will appear by default on every single tournament thread, so we hope that these fixed guidelines help our Organizers by making attendees aware of some common questions and concerns, and how to help speed up their registration experience!
![[Image: WBO-Event-pages-Social-Media-Submissions...eature.jpg]](https://worldbeyblade.org/images/10thanniversary/WBO-Event-pages-Social-Media-Submissions-Box-Feature.jpg)
We've revamped our Social Media module and implemented a fancy new interactive module for submitting tournament footage to our Social Media team, as well as an alert to make all attendees aware of the WBO's Photography Policy and their rights to not be included in footage.
General Site Adjustments
![[Image: WBO-Main-Menu-Tournaments-Dropdown.jpg]](https://worldbeyblade.org/images/10thanniversary/WBO-Main-Menu-Tournaments-Dropdown.jpg)
We're not done yet! We've also made some key adjustments to our index and navigation bars to help get you to the information you want to see quicker! Some of our most important resources and locations were difficult to reach, so we've condensed them into handy drop-down menus in the navigation bar to ensure that they're always with you!
![[Image: WBO-Site-Index-Upcoming-Tournaments-Box.jpg]](https://worldbeyblade.org/images/10thanniversary/WBO-Site-Index-Upcoming-Tournaments-Box.jpg)
We've also heard you guys loud and clear, and have added a quick option to our Upcoming Tournaments list to jump straight to our main tournaments forum! In the Summer months when we have more tournaments than we can realistically advertise on the main page, you'll thank us!
![[Image: WBO-Beyblade-Customizations-Forum-Header-Image.jpg]](https://worldbeyblade.org/images/WBO-Beyblade-Customizations-Forum-Header-Image.jpg)
In each of the main Beyblade Hobby-related forums, tournament forums, and Discuss worldbeyblade.org we've added featured images to the top right corner to help communicate what the forum is about and make the page just a little bit more visually interesting. Check out all of the forums to see the images in use! These may be changed or new ones may be added over time.

So what's next?
What, you want even more?!
Currently, we aren't committing to any specific new features. That said, we're looking at continuing to improve the experience on site for all Bladers and Organizers. As a taster of what we would like to move forward with in the future;
Thank you for all your patience with this upgrade over the past two years! It's safe to say that you're now using the latest and greatest version of the worldbeyblade.org site yet, and we hope that you enjoy using and browsing it as much as we've enjoyed making it!
As you can see already; today, we launched our much anticipated rewrite of our now-feature-complete Responsive theme, and have also deployed a number of brand-new features to improve your experience across the site!
In this thread, I'll be going over some of our brand-new features and what they mean for you and your communities, as well as touching on a few of our future plans as well.
Battle Histories
Ever wanted to know exactly how you did in a tournament - the tournament, the result, how many points you gained - all at a glance? Meet our Battle Histories!
Battle Histories are your main point of interest for all of a Blader's tournament progress. By heading over to a Blader's user profile - for example, yours or mine! - you'll be able to see the results of Bladers within any processed tournaments that they've taken part in, alongside a breakdown of their running BeyRank scores and total wins and losses!
Please note that this feature will not appear on the profiles of Bladers who have not participated in any processed events! If you want to build up your Battle History portfolio on your profile, consider joining one of our Organized Play tournaments in your area!
Processed Tournament Pages – Full Match Listing
Included on event pages for tournaments which have been processed into our rankings (like this one) is a new section at the top called "Tournament Results". Clicking "View Matches" will pull up a window listing all of the matches for all users in that specific tournament.
This way, you now have the ability to not only view a specific set of matches for a specific user (Battle History described above), but the ability to view a specific set of matches for a specific tournament.
Tournament Invitations
Your tournament thread has been approved, the words "0 Bladers registered" staring into your soul, but there's no easy way to invite Bladers in your community to your tournament!
Well, this one will make Organizers everywhere rejoice! The ability to send Tournament Invitations to other users on site has now been added! Organizers can now click a new "Invite Participants" button located on their tournament thread to instantly send PMs and notifications to chosen Bladers about their event!
However, as we've carefully mentioned above, this feature is currently only available to Organizers while we test the stress this has on our servers. Hopefully one day we'll be able to open up the criteria further but, for now, this feature should serve as a fantastic tool for Organizers to use to transform that 0 participant count into a 10, 20, or more quickly!
Organizer Processing
We touched on this feature back during BeyDays 2018, and launched it at around the same time as well. So why are we mentioning it again?
Well, Organizer Processing was always designed with our theme rewrite in mind, and we're happy to report that as of today, we've reached our final version of this feature, with full support for the theme rewrite and all the bugs ironed out!
For those who aren't familiar with the feature, Organizer Processing has allowed tournament organizers to enter in the results for tournaments themselves using a specialist tool, and then save them for our Organized Play team to hit the button and process! With this process and new tool, what used to take ~30 minutes per tournament for the Committee to do now takes Organizers and the Organized Play team under a minute to do from start to finish! An incredible improvement!
And of course, if you find yourself looking at an older tournament thread - perhaps having clicked the link for one in our new Battle Histories feature! - you're now able to see the winners for that event on the top of the thread! The Tournament Results option will also show you the results for all matches that took place within that tournament as well! Go check it out!
Tournament Thread Adjustments
We've been keeping a close eye on the layout of our tournament threads and looking closely into what we can do to streamline and simplify areas for both attendees and Organizers! Ready for an onslaught of quality of life changes for our tournament thread layout? Here we go!
The Admission Fee box now has a dedicated area for notes pertaining to the admission fee! This is particularly useful for those Organizers who host convention-based tournaments and require all participants to visit somewhere else to get a convention ticket, or for tournaments that take place within a shop and require admission fees to be paid at a specific desk. The possibilities are endless, so use this how you see fit!
We've also made it so the Admission Fee box no longer shows the "Passport admission fee" if both prices are the same. This was a confusing area for attendees of convention-based events specifically, where both prices were almost always the same and raised more questions than answers.
"Burst Format", "HMS Format", "Plastics Format, "Zero-G Format" - We get it, there's a lot of different Formats in Beyblade, and it's not always easy for everyone to tell if they Beyblades they're collecting are appropriate for a certain tournament. So we've added an image representation for these within this box, along with a button to direct you to the appropriate rulebook! We hope this clears up some of the confusion that can occur when planning what to take from your collection for a specific event!
With tournaments in the past year hitting an all-time high, it has become harder and harder for Organizers to inform each and every participant about guidelines and registration, so we've taken the liberty to add a "Need-to-Know Information" section!

Check out all of the forums to see the images in use! These may be changed or new ones may be added over time.
We've also re-enabled our Forum Rules dropdown within forums with applicable rules! You can find these at the top of a forum, and can be opened with the arrow on the right hand side! We'll be updating these very soon, so stay tuned for that!
So what's next?
What, you want even more?!
Currently, we aren't committing to any specific new features. That said, we're looking at continuing to improve the experience on site for all Bladers and Organizers. As a taster of what we would like to move forward with in the future;
- Expanding Tournament Invitations to attendees.
- The ability to send Tournament Invitations to potential participants based on actual locations.
- For Organizers: Exporting Plain Text List of Participants for Events to help more easily construct Challonge participant lists
- Further BeyRank system updates!
Thank you for all your patience with this upgrade over the past two years! It's safe to say that you're now using the latest and greatest version of the worldbeyblade.org site yet, and we hope that you enjoy using and browsing it as much as we've enjoyed making it!

WBO Organized Play Rule Updates Nov 2018: Ωuter Unbanned Dec 8 + More
- Kei
- Nov. 27, 2018 6:32 AM
Outlined below are several important new ruling additions, updates, and clarifications to the WBO Organized Play Burst Format rulebook and the Organizers' Guide. View all WBO Organized Play Rules & Resources here, and a summary of the changes below:
Rule Updates Overview
Burst Format Updates
![[Image: Beyblade-Burst-Outer-Disk.png]](https://worldbeyblade.org/images/Beyblade-Burst-Outer-Disk.png)
IMPORTANT Effective December 8, 2018 – Ωuter Disk Unbanned
Effective December 8, 2018, the Ωuter Disk will now be legal for use in Burst Format.
With the recent release of the B-128 Beyblade Burst Cho-Z Customize Set, which includes the long-awaited re-release of the Ωuter Disk, we have decided that now is the time to finally unban it as it has become much more widely available than it’s original Ωrichalcum-exclusive release.
![[Image: wbo-beyblade-burst-dash-and-regular-drivers.png]](https://worldbeyblade.org/images/wbo-beyblade-burst-dash-and-regular-drivers.png)
Dash Drivers & Regular Counterparts Cannot be Repeated in Deck Format
Dash Drivers (such as Xtreme’, Destroy’, Zephyr’, Zeta’) and their regular counterparts (such as Xtreme, Destroy, Zephyr, and Zeta) cannot both be included within your Deck during a Deck Format match at the same time.
This means for instance that you cannot have both Winning Valkyrie 7 Dagger Xtreme’ and Bloody Longinus 5 Under Xtreme in your Deck. Xtreme’ and Xtreme are considered to be the “same” part. Therefore, one of the two would need to be replaced with a different Driver.
![[Image: cho-z-spriggan-layer-beyblade-burst.png]](https://worldbeyblade.org/images/cho-z-spriggan-layer-beyblade-burst.png)
Cho-Z Spriggan Layer Spin Direction Switching Restrictions
As an exception to the rule regarding mode changing for parts which require disassembly (see Gameplay Appendix in the Burst Format rulebook), Cho-Z Spriggan's mode (spin direction) cannot be changed between rounds within the same match.
![[Image: Beyblade-Burst-Turbo-Takara-Tomy-Level-C...ty-WBO.png]](https://worldbeyblade.org/images/Beyblade-Burst-Turbo-Takara-Tomy-Level-Chips-Incompatibility-WBO.png)
Combining Hasbro Turbo Energy Layers with TAKARA-TOMY Level Chips is Not Permitted
You may not use TAKARA-TOMY Level Chips with Hasbro Beyblade Burst Turbo Energy Layers.
The fit of Level Chips with Beyblade Burst Turbo Energy Layers is inconsistent and therefore it seems unclear whether compatibility was intentional or not. To stay on the safe side, we are ruling that they are not compatible with each other.
![[Image: Beyblade-Burst-Layer-Right-Artemis.png]](https://worldbeyblade.org/images/Beyblade-Burst-Layer-Right-Artemis.png)
![[Image: Beyblade-Burst-Layer-Left-Apollos.png]](https://worldbeyblade.org/images/Beyblade-Burst-Layer-Left-Apollos.png)
![[Image: Beyblade-Burst-Layer-Left-Eclipse.png]](https://worldbeyblade.org/images/Beyblade-Burst-Layer-Left-Eclipse.png)
![[Image: Beyblade-Burst-Layer-Right-Eclipse.png]](https://worldbeyblade.org/images/Beyblade-Burst-Layer-Right-Eclipse.png)
Left αpollos, Right αrtemis, Left αeclipse, Right αeclipse Layer Clarifications
First Stage: Left αpollos, Right αrtemis, Left αeclipse, Right αeclipse Are Considered Separate Parts
The Left αpollos, Right αrtemis, Left αeclipse, and Right αeclipse Layers released as part of the B-126 Cho-Z Muso BeyStadium Set are considered to be separate parts.
Like duo αpollos, duo αrtemis, and duo αeclipse, regular mode changing rules (see Gameplay Appendix in Burst Format rulebook) for Layers that require disassembly and have mode changes (like Alter Chronos or Legend Spriggan) do not apply to lα, rα, lαe, rae because the different configurations are considered as separate Layers and not “modes”. Therefore, you cannot switch your configuration of lα, rα, lαe, or rae during a regular first stage match.
Final Stage (Deck Format): Left αpollos & Right αrtemis Can Both Be Included, Left αeclipse & Right αeclipse Cannot be Repeated
In your Deck you may include both Left αpollos and Right αrtemis (one or both together) plus Left αeclipse OR Right αeclipse (you cannot include both) as all or part of the three Layers in your Deck Format combos. If you do not have multiple copies of these Layers, you are permitted to disassemble the Layers as is necessary throughout the Deck Format battle in order to switch to the other Layer configurations.
Left αeclipse and Right αeclipse are comprised of one half of Right αrtemis and one half of Left αpollos combined with one of the two pieces inserted into the middle of the Layer to determine the spin direction.

As was listed in the rulebooks for other formats already, we have added a clarification to the Burst Format rulebook stating that the permitted maximum distance Beyblades must be launched (from just above the stadium cover) is 30cm maximum from the stadium floor.

Rule Updates Overview
- IMPORTANT: Burst Format: Effective December 8, 2018 – Ωuter Disk Unbanned
- Burst Format: Dash Drivers & Regular Counterparts Cannot be Repeated in Deck Format
- Burst Format: Cho-Z Spriggan Layer Spin Direction Switching Restrictions
- Burst Format: Level Chip + Hasbro Turbo Layer Compatibility Clarification
- Burst Format: Left αpollos, Right αrtemis, Left αeclipse, Right αeclipse Layer Clarifications
- Burst Format: Launching - Permitted Distance from BeyStadium Clarification
Burst Format Updates
IMPORTANT Effective December 8, 2018 – Ωuter Disk Unbanned
Effective December 8, 2018, the Ωuter Disk will now be legal for use in Burst Format.
With the recent release of the B-128 Beyblade Burst Cho-Z Customize Set, which includes the long-awaited re-release of the Ωuter Disk, we have decided that now is the time to finally unban it as it has become much more widely available than it’s original Ωrichalcum-exclusive release.
Dash Drivers & Regular Counterparts Cannot be Repeated in Deck Format
Dash Drivers (such as Xtreme’, Destroy’, Zephyr’, Zeta’) and their regular counterparts (such as Xtreme, Destroy, Zephyr, and Zeta) cannot both be included within your Deck during a Deck Format match at the same time.
This means for instance that you cannot have both Winning Valkyrie 7 Dagger Xtreme’ and Bloody Longinus 5 Under Xtreme in your Deck. Xtreme’ and Xtreme are considered to be the “same” part. Therefore, one of the two would need to be replaced with a different Driver.
Cho-Z Spriggan Layer Spin Direction Switching Restrictions
As an exception to the rule regarding mode changing for parts which require disassembly (see Gameplay Appendix in the Burst Format rulebook), Cho-Z Spriggan's mode (spin direction) cannot be changed between rounds within the same match.
Combining Hasbro Turbo Energy Layers with TAKARA-TOMY Level Chips is Not Permitted
You may not use TAKARA-TOMY Level Chips with Hasbro Beyblade Burst Turbo Energy Layers.
The fit of Level Chips with Beyblade Burst Turbo Energy Layers is inconsistent and therefore it seems unclear whether compatibility was intentional or not. To stay on the safe side, we are ruling that they are not compatible with each other.
Left αpollos, Right αrtemis, Left αeclipse, Right αeclipse Layer Clarifications
First Stage: Left αpollos, Right αrtemis, Left αeclipse, Right αeclipse Are Considered Separate Parts
The Left αpollos, Right αrtemis, Left αeclipse, and Right αeclipse Layers released as part of the B-126 Cho-Z Muso BeyStadium Set are considered to be separate parts.
Like duo αpollos, duo αrtemis, and duo αeclipse, regular mode changing rules (see Gameplay Appendix in Burst Format rulebook) for Layers that require disassembly and have mode changes (like Alter Chronos or Legend Spriggan) do not apply to lα, rα, lαe, rae because the different configurations are considered as separate Layers and not “modes”. Therefore, you cannot switch your configuration of lα, rα, lαe, or rae during a regular first stage match.
Final Stage (Deck Format): Left αpollos & Right αrtemis Can Both Be Included, Left αeclipse & Right αeclipse Cannot be Repeated
In your Deck you may include both Left αpollos and Right αrtemis (one or both together) plus Left αeclipse OR Right αeclipse (you cannot include both) as all or part of the three Layers in your Deck Format combos. If you do not have multiple copies of these Layers, you are permitted to disassemble the Layers as is necessary throughout the Deck Format battle in order to switch to the other Layer configurations.
Left αeclipse and Right αeclipse are comprised of one half of Right αrtemis and one half of Left αpollos combined with one of the two pieces inserted into the middle of the Layer to determine the spin direction.
Launching - Permitted Distance from BeyStadium Clarification
As was listed in the rulebooks for other formats already, we have added a clarification to the Burst Format rulebook stating that the permitted maximum distance Beyblades must be launched (from just above the stadium cover) is 30cm maximum from the stadium floor.

WBO Organized Play Rule Updates Sept 2018: First Stage Burst Finishes Now 2 Points
- Kei
- Sep. 12, 2018 8:51 AM
Outlined below are several important new ruling additions, updates, and clarifications to the WBO Organized Play Burst Format rulebook and the Organizers' Guide. View all WBO Organized Play Rules & Resources here, and a summary of the changes below:
Rule Updates Overview
Burst Format Updates
IMPORTANT Burst Format: First Stage - Burst Finishes Increased from 1 Point to 2 Points
There has been much debate in the community over the past couple months about the situation TAKARA-TOMY has presented us with through the release of Hell Salamander, Archer Hercules, and Revive Phoenix. Around the world, there’s differing opinions about each of these Layers. But ultimately, they do keep each other in check to a certain degree.
However, the problem that’s been identified is the low usage and effectiveness of Attack types especially after their release. It was particularly bad until the recent release of Xtreme’ with Shadow Amaterios, a much needed new version of Xtreme with a much tighter spring and softer rubber, allowing for a tighter lock and much better flower pattern when banking.
While Xtreme’ has allowed for a marked improvement in the performance of Attack types and combinations using it have been found in recent Winning Combinations lists, usage of Attack types–particularly in the first stage of events–is still quite low.
In order to help give Attack types a more defined purpose and increased value for the first stage, we have therefore made the decision to increase Burst Finishes from being worth 1 Point to 2 Points. Outspins, KOs, and Frames/God Chips falling off are still 1 Point, and matches are still won after a player scores 3 Points total.
This was made possible due to the release of Xtreme’ and Hunter’. The tight lock on these Drivers helps to reduce the possibility of an Attack type self-bursting, which is one of the primary reasons we had never considered imposing the two point Burst Finish rule for first stage matchws–which are only to 3 Points, unlike Deck Format’s 5 Points–previously.
Burst Finishes in general have also become less common overall, but Xtreme’ does make them a lot more likely in certain situations. Changing Burst Finishes to two points also makes the risk/reward factor of using Stamina types (using Drivers like Bearing) higher, which can affect the choices players will make.
We chose to leave KOs at 1 Point due to the more unpredictable nature of them in combination with the shorter three-point nature of first stage matches. We didn’t like the idea of an Attack user doing a perfect bank and then getting KOed while the opposing Stamina type gets wall-saved.
This rule update allows us to–at least for the time being–avoid banning any other parts. Despite the increased number of bans throughout Burst Format thus far, the ideal has always been to avoid bans, and we feel that this solution will be a strong alternative.
Metal Fight Limited Format Updates
![[Image: beyblade-gravity-metal-wheel.png]](https://worldbeyblade.org/images/beyblade-gravity-metal-wheel.png)
Metal Fight Limited Format: Gravity’s Initial Spin Direction Selection in Deck Format Clarification
Following our July 2018 mode change restrictions for the Gravity Metal Wheel allowing only one mode change per match, we realized that one additional clarification was needed after the first event of Beyblade Remembrance 2018 in Toronto in order to prevent a possible second mode change in Deck Format.
As such, the following ruling was added to the rulebook, applicable to anyone using Gravity in their deck:

Burst Format: Spriggan Requiem & Maximum Garuda Layers Unbanned
Recent releases such as Hell Salamander and Archer Hercules have been proven to stand a better chance against Spriggan Requiem and Maximum Garuda, paving the way for their return. We believe that as a result both Layers will not be nearly as centralizing as they were earlier in the year.

WBO Organized Play Rule Updates July 2018: Organizer's Guide, BST & MFL Updates
- Kei
- Aug. 01, 2018 4:45 AM
Outlined below are several important new ruling additions, updates, and clarifications to the WBO Organized Play Burst Format rulebook and the Organizers' Guide. View all WBO Organized Play Rules & Resources here, and a summary of the changes below:
Rule Updates Overview
Organizer’s Guide Updates
IMPORTANT Organizer’s Guide: New Guidelines for Failure to Submit Results & Fees
Recently we have been making an enormous effort to get the ranking system back up to date. You can keep track of our progress as updates are posted here.
However, one of the biggest issues has been that many Organizers have failed to submit their tournament results, winning combinations, or fees within the given 14 day period, as outlined by the Organizer’s Guide:
This has resulted in us having to chase down Organizers to retrieve this information, and it has slowed down the process considerably. In order to hopefully help combat this, to set more defined expectations for our Organizers who accept the responsibility of hosting events for their community, and to prevent our members from having to wait for extended periods to see their results reflected in the rankings in the future, we have decided to implement some more strict guidelines and consequences for failure to submit tournament results, winning combinations, or fees on time.
To begin, all events that occurred on or before May 30th 2018 that have not submitted either their tournament results spreadsheet, winning combinations, or fees will be subject to the following effective August 6th 2018:
This being said, we sincerely hope that nobody will even have to reach Step 1. If you are an Organizer, please ensure that you are willing and able to commit to the responsibilities required by the role. Upon submission of any missing tournament information, any existing warnings related to it will be removed.
We also need to be held accountable ourselves for ensuring that everything is submitted on time, which is why we are making an effort to make the expectations clearer moving forward. And it’s also why we are only including events that occurred up until the end of May at this point as we know that we still have a ways to go before we can catch up to that point.
And of course, if there is any legitimate personal circumstances which are preventing you from getting results or fees submitted on time, please be sure to contact one of our Organized Play Contributors so that we are aware of the situation and can make an exception. We want everyone to remain accountable for their responsibilities, but we also understand that everyone here is a volunteer and that things do happen sometimes.
These guidelines have now been added to our Organizer’s Guide and also to our Community Rules under “Organizer Violations”.
Burst Format Updates
Burst Format: God Chips Popping Off Constitute a Round Loss
A God Chip popping off mid-battle now constitutes an immediate round loss. Players must then put the God Chip back in for the next round.
Burst Format: Repeating Hasbro and TAKARA-TOMY Parts in Deck Format is not Permitted
You may not repeat Hasbro and TAKARA-TOMY parts within your Deck during Deck Format. This means for example that you cannot have both a Valkyrie and a Valtryek Layer in your Deck. The same goes for Hasbro and TAKARA-TOMY Drivers.
Metal Fight Limited Format Updates
![[Image: Beyblade-Metal-Fury-Scythe-Wheel.jpg]](https://worldbeyblade.org/images/Beyblade-Metal-Fury-Scythe-Wheel.jpg)
Metal Fight Limited Format: Ban List v2.0 – Scythe (Metal Fury) Metal Wheel Banned
Our first ban list update for MFL in nearly two years! With Metal Fight Beyblade’s tenth anniversary just around the corner, we felt now the time was right to inject some life and shake things up for the format.
As such, the Scythe (Metal Fury) Metal Wheel is now banned.
The Scythe (Metal Fury) Metal Wheel has proven itself to be an extremely versatile and powerful Metal Wheel. It exhibits respectable traits in all three types: Attack, Defense, and Stamina depending on the situation and combination used. It is for this reason we’ve chosen to add Scythe to the ban list for the first time.
Metal Fight Limited Format: Gravity Metal Wheel Mode Changing Restrictions
The mode (spin direction) of the Gravity Metal Wheel may now only be changed once per match in both the first and final stages of our events.
Gravity has always been an inherently versatile Metal Wheel with the ability to switch spin directions. This, combined with its also respectable traits in all three types has made it just a bit too safe and centralizing, so we’ve decided to impose this restriction to lower its versatility slightly.
You can view past ban lists and discuss this update here, in the Metal Fight Limited Ban List Discussion thread.
New WBO Contributors
Earlier this year we created the WBO Contributor team in order to improve our ability to maintain existing practices such as our social media channels, approving events and Organizer quizzes, producing Youtube videos, publishing and writing wiki articles, and moderating the forums.
It’s become evident lately that we are in need of even more help in all of these areas, so I’m happy to announce that the following members have now been added to the team!

Organizer’s Guide Wrote:All tournament fees must be submitted via PayPal to donate@worldbeyblade.org no later than 14 days after a tournament has taken place.

- Step 2: 1 Week After Step 1 - 30% Warning, expires in 1 year (1 Month Suspension)
- Step 3: 2 Weeks After Step 2 - 40% Warning, expires in 1 year (6 Month Suspension)

You may not repeat Hasbro and TAKARA-TOMY parts within your Deck during Deck Format. This means for example that you cannot have both a Valkyrie and a Valtryek Layer in your Deck. The same goes for Hasbro and TAKARA-TOMY Drivers.
Metal Fight Limited Format Updates
Metal Fight Limited Format: Ban List v2.0 – Scythe (Metal Fury) Metal Wheel Banned
Our first ban list update for MFL in nearly two years! With Metal Fight Beyblade’s tenth anniversary just around the corner, we felt now the time was right to inject some life and shake things up for the format.
As such, the Scythe (Metal Fury) Metal Wheel is now banned.
The Scythe (Metal Fury) Metal Wheel has proven itself to be an extremely versatile and powerful Metal Wheel. It exhibits respectable traits in all three types: Attack, Defense, and Stamina depending on the situation and combination used. It is for this reason we’ve chosen to add Scythe to the ban list for the first time.
Metal Fight Limited Format: Gravity Metal Wheel Mode Changing Restrictions
The mode (spin direction) of the Gravity Metal Wheel may now only be changed once per match in both the first and final stages of our events.
Gravity has always been an inherently versatile Metal Wheel with the ability to switch spin directions. This, combined with its also respectable traits in all three types has made it just a bit too safe and centralizing, so we’ve decided to impose this restriction to lower its versatility slightly.
You can view past ban lists and discuss this update here, in the Metal Fight Limited Ban List Discussion thread.

WBO Organized Play Rule Updates June 2018 Part 2: Spryzen Requiem Banned, rP Ruling
- Kei
- Jun. 23, 2018 5:19 AM
Outlined below are several important new ruling additions, updates, and clarifications to the WBO Organized Play Burst Format rulebook and the Organizers' Guide. View all WBO Organized Play Rules & Resources here, and a summary of the changes below:
Rule Updates Overview
Burst Format Updates
![[Image: Spryzen-Requiem-Hasbro-Layer-Banned-WBO.png]](https://worldbeyblade.org/images/Spryzen-Requiem-Hasbro-Layer-Banned-WBO.png)
IMPORTANT Burst Format: Hasbro's Spryzen Requiem Banned
Hasbro’s recently released Spryzen Requiem Layer is now banned.
Given the current banned status of the TAKARA-TOMY version–Spriggan Requiem–and reports that Hasbro’s version fits even tighter with Bearing than the TT version, we feel that banning Spryzen Requiem as a precaution until further testing is conducted is required. WBO Contributor Jojo [Jp0t] also posted a testing video of her own which demonstrates the strength of Spryzen Requiem against Bloody and Nightmare Longinus. It didn’t burst even once.
We encourage everyone to continue posting test results within the Spryzen Requiem testing thread in the meantime. The ban will continue to be evaluated as more testing is conducted and more Beyblades are released.
![[Image: Revive-Phoenix-Layer-Beyblade-Burst.png]](https://worldbeyblade.org/images/Revive-Phoenix-Layer-Beyblade-Burst.png)
Burst Format: Revive Phoenix “Revive Armour” Gimmick Clarifications
The newly released Revive Phoenix’s “Revive Armour” (the outer ring of the Layer which can pop off mid-battle) must be used with the Layer.
When the ring comes off during battle it is considered an active piece in the stadium as part of the Revive Phoenix combination in use. This means any hits, KO, or Burst it inflicts on the opposing Beyblade are considered to be Revive Phoenix’s.
Players and judges should not try to pick up the Revive Armour at all until the round has ended.
The Revive Armour must be reattached after each round it comes off.
Burst Format: Frames Falling Off Constitutes a Round Loss
If a Frame falls off during battle, the round ends immediately and the user wielding that Beyblade is given a round loss (1 Point in the first stage and in Deck Format). The user must then attach their Frame again and continue the match to the next round if their opponent hasn’t won yet.
Organizer’s Guide Updates
Organizer’s Guide: Stadiums – Wipes or Cleaning Solution Clarifications
The “Wipes or Cleaning Solution” section of the Organizer’s Guide has been updated to provide clarification regarding what is permitted to be used for stadium cleaning:

The “Wipes or Cleaning Solution” section of the Organizer’s Guide has been updated to provide clarification regarding what is permitted to be used for stadium cleaning:
Organizer’s Guide – Wipes or Cleaning Solution Wrote:BeyStadiums can accumulate dirt that can affect how Beyblades perform. Keep BeyStadiums at your tournament clean with either pre-wetted wipes or a cloth and a gentle cleaning solution. Ideally an isopropyl alcohol or water-based solution. Ensure that any such solution does not leave behind residue of any kind that may potentially change the slickness of the stadium floor or walls unnaturally.

WBO Organized Play Rule Updates June 2018: Level Chips Unbanned July 2nd and More
- Kei
- Jun. 05, 2018 5:46 AM
After reading this announcement, please read June 2018 Part 2 - Spryzen Requiem Banned, Revive Phoenix Gimmick Clarification, Frames Falling Off Clarification, Organizer's Guide – Wipes or Cleaning Solution Clarificaitons
Outlined below are several important new ruling additions, updates, and clarifications to the WBO Organized Play Burst Format rulebook and the Organizers' Guide. View all WBO Organized Play Rules & Resources here, and a summary of the changes below:
Rule Updates Overview
Burst Format Updates
![[Image: beyblade-burst-level-chip-unbanned.png]](https://worldbeyblade.org/images/beyblade-burst-level-chip-unbanned.png)
IMPORTANT Burst Format: Effective July 2nd, 2018 – Level Chips Unbanned
The Level Chip Layer accessory has now been released more widely in Japan, causing the price for them to plummet. As a result, we have decided to lift the ban on Level Chips effective July 2nd, 2018. The Level Chip will be legal to use in WBO Organized Play Events on or after that date.
Level Chip Deck Format Restrictions: When legalized on July 2nd, Level Chips will be restricted to one per deck in Deck Format.
![[Image: Spriggan-Requiem-Layer-Beyblade-Burst-WB...nned-2.png]](https://worldbeyblade.org/images/Spriggan-Requiem-Layer-Beyblade-Burst-WBO-OP-Banned-2.png)
Burst Format: Spriggan Requiem Layer - Ban Continues
Since the announcement of Spriggan Requiem’s trial ban last month, we have been monitoring the health of the metagame. A positive improvement has been demonstrated in terms of diversity of viable parts and strategies, but we believe that reintroduction of Sr at this point in time would be hugely disruptive and would jeopardize the diversity we’ve seen. As such, we have decided to allow the ban to continue indefinitely. It will be reviewed as new products are released and more tournaments are played.
We encourage everyone to continue posting test results within the Spriggan Requiem testing thread in the meantime.
Organizer’s Guide Updates
![[Image: WBO-Pre-Tournament-Announcements-Guide-Cover-3D-2.png]](https://worldbeyblade.org/images/WBO-Pre-Tournament-Announcements-Guide-Cover-3D-2.png)
New Organizer Resource: WBO Organizer Pre-Tournament Announcement Guide & Notes Template
As WBO tournaments continue to increase in attendance as of late, the importance of improvements to organization and efficiency for our Organizers also continues to increase. To help assist Organizers prepare for and begin their tournaments we have created the Pre-Tournament Announcement Guide & Notes Template.
The goal of this guide is to provide a modifiable template Organizers can use to outline all of the pre-tournament announcements they need to make and to capture notes related to the tournament all in one place which is easy to share among judges and WBO staff members after the tournament if needed.
We encourage all Organizers to make copies of this template for each of their events and modify as is necessary.
Organizer’s Guide: Multiple Events by Different Organizers in One Region Restrictions
Organizers may not host an event within on the same week as another Organizer in the same region (“region” defined as state/province or city depending on the circumstances) that is already hosting an approved event without their written approval in the event proposal for their secondary event.
This rule is being introduced mainly to protect the success of previously announced events and prevent the possibility of players being attracted to the other event instead. Such an issue is of particular concern when the previously announced event is being hosted at a convention.
Our hope with this ruling is that it will encourage Organizers to work more closely together when planning their event schedule for a particular region to ensure that there is no potential conflicts.
All Rulebooks Updates
All Rulebooks: Deck Format – Mode Switching is Not Permitted When Replay is Invoked
We have clarified in all rulebooks that mode switching of any kind (ex. Twin Nemesis Layer, Trans Driver, Gravity Perseus Metal Wheel)–if your Beyblade permits it–during a Deck Format match is not permitted when someone invokes a Replay. The intention of the Replay rule is to allow for the exact same match to be played again: same Beyblades, same modes, same launchers, same everything.

As with previous years, each region may only organise BeyDays events during one of the two weekends. Events held on the other weekend will not be counted towards any of our BeyDays festivities! Sorry!
But the main question is, which areas are participating in this year's BeyDays festivities? Without further ado...

Any region that has been unable to host a tournament in the last 6 months will see the entry fee waived for its Bladers on this occasion!
New Competitive Bit: Metal God Bit!
It's been a while since we've introduced a new competitive Bit, so we're taking the opportunity to do so now.
Meet the Metal God Bit!
As the name suggests, this Bit is based on the Metal God Chip used for God Layer System releases, and now serves as the next stage of our Bit awards for tournaments hosted, following the Metal (5 Tournaments Hosted) and MF2 Bits (10 Tournaments Hosted)!
To earn this Bit, Organisers must have hosted 20 tournaments themselves, showing their dedication and commitment to Beyblade in their community!
Think you're already eligible for this Bit? Or haven't been awarded the Metal or MF2 Bits yet? Let us know and we'll get these shiny Bits added for you!
