Beyblade News

worldbeyblade.org will be temporarily inaccessible for up to 24 hours starting at 1 PM EST on Saturday, December 3rd, as we add a few new things to the site.

We apologize for the inconvenience, but hope you'll stop by on December 4th — which is, incidentally, our 8th anniversary. Who knew?

On December 3rd, we'll be removing the existing map feature of the site. In its place we'll be launching a new location notifications system that works a lot more simply:

– You put your location information into your profile
– When there's a tournament near your location, you'll receive an on-site or email notification

That's it. User locations will no longer be publicly visible. Instead, tournament organizers will have access to an additional "address" field when they create new tournament threads that will be used to locate nearby users. This all will happen automatically.

As a consequence of the removal of this feature, we will be removing the "stores" feature as well. While much of the information is out of date, members who want to retain information from that section should do so immediately, as it will not be accessible in the new interface.

We're really excited to launch a location and tournament notifications system that will make it way more seamless for bladers to know when there's a tournament near them. All of this — and more great stuff — is soon to come.

Hey World Bladers!

We are happy to announce that all Hasbro Beyblade Burst Energy Layers and Performance Tips (Drivers) are now legal for WBO Organized Play!

A few weeks ago in the days following the release of Hasbro’s version of Beyblade Burst, we–in light of the numerous changes to this new version of Beyblade Burst in comparison to TAKARA-TOMY’s release–made the decision to implement a temporary ban on Hasbro’s Energy Layers and Performance Tips so that we could evaluate their impact on the game and make an informed decision on how to handle them moving forward.

We’ve taken the time since then to perform an initial wave of rather thorough testing. Major differences in performance were observed due in part to changed molds, the new slope mechanism, and different plastic used by Hasbro, as expected. However, considering the statistics from the mixed brand testing conducted and several other factors, we have determined that the best way to move forward is to allow Hasbro parts in with our current events.

While the performance of Hasbro parts was in general lower than TAKARA-TOMY's releases, there were several bright spots where certain parts such as Valtryek, Storm Spryzen, or Roktavor performed as well or better than their TAKARA-TOMY counterparts. With this in mind, the new possibilities afforded by parts like this in the metagame helped to make the idea of legalizing Hasbro’s parts a proposition that could help to diversify the options available to Bladers competitively as well.

With all of that being said, the real crux of the issue was that we did not want to alienate or turn away Hasbro-only players from our events. If we want to be successful as an organization once these parts have seen a wider release, Hasbro parts need to be legal. But we also don’t want to alienate our dedicated members who have imported TAKARA-TOMY parts for the past year, so allowing the main Burst Format to be mixed makes the most sense. It’s as simple as that!

Hasbro vs. TAKARA-TOMY Part Compatibility Ruling
And for the sake of clarification: Hasbro Energy Layers cannot be mixed with TAKARA-TOMY Drivers and TAKARA-TOMY Layers cannot be mixed with Hasbro Performance Tips in WBO Organized Play events (Disks/Forge Disks can be used with either brand). Judges are expected to inform players of the incompatibility if they catch it while inspecting their Beyblade prior to the BeyBattle.

New Option for WBO Organizers: Hasbro Only Burst Format
Looking into the future, we do realize that the number of Hasbro-only players in our community will likely outnumber TAKARA-TOMY-only players ultimately. In anticipation of this eventuality, we’ve decided to allow WBO Organizers the option to make their Burst Format events Hasbro-only starting today.

When considering this option, we encourage all WBO Organizers to consider what is best for their individual community and to consult with each member if you can as to what their preference is and whether they are even able to play Hasbro-only yet. Most likely, this will only become a serious option once Hasbro Beyblade Burst has launched locally in your country.

Tests comparing match-ups between Hasbro Beyblades with the same match-ups between TAKARA-TOMY Beyblades in the B-09 BeyStadium Standard Type with TAKARA-TOMY launchers are particularly valuable at this point in time. As are match-ups comparing Hasbro combinations against top-tier TAKARA-TOMY combos such as Deathscyther Heavy Revolve. Though we have legalized Hasbro's Energy Layers and Performance Tips now, we are still very much in the early stages of testing and can use all of the data we can get!

Hey World Bladers!

We are in the midst of a pretty exciting time for the community. Beyblade Burst has launched in Canada and we are working hard on several big projects behind the scenes that we’re excited to show off in the next few months. But in the mean time, we have several other newsworthy items we’d like to announce!

Experimental Burst Format Rule Changes
We recently launched a new set of experimental tournament format rules that we wanted to test the viability of in real events. We haven’t revisited many of the rules for tournament organization in WBO Organized Play since the WBO was launched in 2008, and with Beyblade Burst’s wider international launch on the horizon, now seemed as good a time as any to start evaluating them again. Our goal is to eventually introduce some version of these new changes as the new standard for our WBO Organized Play events.

So far, we have hosted a couple events under these rules in Toronto in North Carolina and gathered initial feedback from both hosts and players. As a result of our discussions, we have put together a revised ruleset for this experimental format:

---

Use of this format is not mandatory and doesn’t include prize reimbursement or rankings, but it has some great perks instead:

• Entry is free for everyone
  
• Faces and Credits are included (except Shards of Amaterios)
  
• All entrants will be entered into a Hasbro-themed BeyLotto! Details below.
  

Please discuss these changes and direct any questions you may have to the Experimental Tournament Format Changes Discussion thread.

Limited Format Ban List v1.5 Effective Now

---

Newly Banned

• CRYSTAL/ELEMENT WHEEL: Dark Knight/Ronin

Newly Unbanned

• WHEEL: Gravity (and all Perseus Clear Wheels)

---

Since the previous ban list update was announced a year ago where both Libra and Omega were banned, Dark Knight has risen to prominence in the Limited Format metagame. Its use in powerful Attack types with incredibly wide reach in terms of their ability to KO Beyblades of all heights, its ability to outspin some Defense types if it doesn’t KO them, its ability to be paired with any Zero-G/Shogun Steel Chrome/Warrior Wheel, and being left-spin in a predominantly right-spin series have made it into a choice that is undeniably versatile and safe, making other powerful but less versatile and more specialized Attack types less likely to be used. It is for these reasons that we have chosen to ban Dark Knight for this iteration of the Limited Format ban list.

As for Gravity, it has been banned since it dominated the initial test events for Limited Format nearly three years ago now. At the time this banning faced some level of contention, and even to this day many people have been questioning the ban and clamouring for the chance to use it again. There is however, many other people who have opposed this, and for good reason; Gravity is–like Dark Knight–an incredibly versatile part that can potentially easily be abused, lowering diversity in the format. However, it is possible that several years later with a much different looking ban list for Limited Format and more experience with the pool of parts available that its versatility might no longer be too overwhelming. So for the time being, Gravity will be unbanned, but we will be keeping a watchful eye on how it performs in subsequent Limited Format events, at which point we will evaluate whether it can be allowed to stay unbanned or not.

To discuss this update, possible future updates, and to see the discussion that led to the decisions that were made for this update, please use these threads:

MFB Limited Ban List Discussion (Public)
and the MFB: Limited Discussion forum.


Standard/Limited Format Stadium Legality Updates

---

Newly Banned

• BB-14 BeyStadium Balance Type (also included in the BB-20 Beybattle Try Set)
  
• BB-46 BeyStadium Standard Type (red floor)
  

Newly Unbanned

• Burst BeyStadium Standard Type

Ruling Update

• Prior to any BeyBattle, players are permitted to inspect the BeyStadium with the permission of the judge. Once permission has been granted, the player may pick up the stadium and inspect it. Afterwards, it must be placed back into the same position it was originally in on the ground. The existing rules for touching the BeyStadium in any other situation still apply; a judge may grant a round loss if the stadium is intentionally moved/touched without asking for permission.

---

The BB-14 and BB-46 Stadiums have been banned due to their vastly different designs and lack of ridges to make Attack types viable in comparison to the gameplay and design of the Attack Stadium or any of the other legal stadiums in the format.

To ensure the viability of the Standard and Limited Formats moving into the future when the Attack Stadium may become more scarce (the reduced number of legal Attack Stadiums with the banning of the Sonokong versions also accelerates this eventual problem), and due to the relatively minor differences between the Burst BeyStadium Standard Type and the Attack Stadium, we have also decided to unban the Burst BeyStadium Standard Type for each format.

There has been much recent discussion regarding Sonokong's Attack Type Stadiums that feature a smaller Tornado Ridge and slightly different bowl design. This makes aggressive combos less viable. After considering feedback from players who have used it during official events, and considering the logistical issues of enforcing a ban on a stadium that at first glance appears to be similar to the original mold Attack Stadiums, we decided that the best way forward was to allow for players to inspect any stadium prior to the beginning of a BeyBattle with the judges permission so that they can be made aware of the mold/stadium they are playing in and adjust their strategy accordingly.

Welcome ~Mana~ to the WBO Committee!
Finally, we’re happy to announce another addition to the WBO Committee: ~Mana~! Many of you should already know him from his position over at the Beyblade Wiki which officially merged with Beywki last year. He has been a WBO Affiliate since, but with all of the work he’s done to date, it made perfect sense for us to take our commitment to the wiki a step further by adding him as an official member of our team!

His primary focus will be to continue managing the wiki itself while also pushing the merger project forward from both a content/article perspective, and a design perspective to help transition the wiki to a design that feels like more of a part of the WBO itself.

But we need all of the help we can get! Feel free to get in touch with him if you’re looking to help out with the wiki, and take a look through the following thread and forum to find out what you can do to help:

The World Beyblade Organization is proud to present Beyblade Battle Cry, a huge two-day event you won't want to miss at Fayetteville Comiccon!


Veteran Organizer Dark_Mousy invites you to a series of events spread on the weekend of October 15th and 16th 2016 to kick off what we hope to be a tradition!

Located in between Charlotte, Goldsboro and Raleigh in North Carolina, Fayetteville is the home of this new convention event and it is filled with great promises! Livestreaming, battle music, your favorite mix of Burst and Metal Fight Beyblade, great prizes, and much more! So even if you couldn't go, you'll want to tune in on both days to check out the action. But of course, it'll be a ton more fun to be at the event in person!

There'll also be event-exclusive T-shirts sold for $20 and with an additional $5, you can get your own username printed on it too!

Fayetteville Comiccon is an annual gathering to celebrate all geekdom, a perfect mix of Japanese culture and American heroes and shows! Its venue spreads on 72,000 square feet to accomodate all sorts of fan-run events and treat you to some 30 celebrity guests. If you're close to North Carolina, this is a convention you'll want to mark on your calendar each year!

And that's not it! A few tournaments have happened in the last year inside anime or comics conventions, and we're hoping to step up our game and claim a spot inside more of them anually. All it takes is for one person to get in communication with the convention staff and present the project to them. Even if you don't end up having enough long-term participants for a tournament, you'll be attracting a big audience and recruiting, which is good for your local Beyblade scene and the convention! If you're really far from North Carolina and that you're interested in organizing an event inside your regional convention, we can help you and we encourage you to put your foot in the doorway! Visit this thread to know how to get started.

It seems like unfortunately the USA will have to wait a while longer before being able to take part in the hype. Only Canada will have Beyblade Burst products by Hasbro sold in stores until January 2017, starting this September. As for Europe and Latin America, the release is planned for later in 2017.

Here's the quote from the press release, which contains complete details on Hasbro's Beyblade Burst rollout:

Quote:The BEYBLADE BURST line will be available in Canada at Toys“R”Us in September, followed by additional retailers in Canada later in 2016. The BEYBLADE BURST line will hit shelves in the U.S. in January 2017 with Europe, Latin America and certain other markets to follow in 2017.

Here is also finally the trailer for the Beyblade Burst products:

As you might have seen, we also have the first preview of the television show for Beyblade Burst in English dub:


It'll start being broadcast this Saturday, September 10th, at 3:00 PM EST on Teletoon in Canada. There's no word yet on which channel will broadcast Beyblade Burst in the United States of America and when.

WBO members @[1234beyblade] and @[Kei] got their hands on the new Hasbro Beyblade Burst releases as well, and we have some really strange and unfortunate news: Hasbro's Beyblade Burst releases seem to have no teeth at all, but are instead solid parts sloped at an incline. Each Layer has a unique slope to offer different burst-resistance.


(Image source: Nocto)

The instruction guide also includes a note that "bursting is rare", and our preliminary tests indicate the same. There's no indication that this design bursts more often than the Japanese designs.

[Image: 5YyfPAc.jpg]

We can also now confirm that there is no cross-compatibility between Hasbro and Takara-Tomy parts with the exception of Disks. Hasbro Energy Layers work with Hasbro Performance Tips, and Takara-Tomy Layers work with Takara-Tomy Drivers.

However, Japanese launchers will work.

Earlier in the week it was confirmed that Canadian cartoon network Teletoon would start airing Beyblade Burst on September 10th, so it's only appropriate that the Hasbro release of Beyblade Burst has been spotted there first.

These are the first photos of Hasbro's Beyblade Burst releases available anywhere. Beyblade Burst has been spotted on shelves in Toronto, Ontario. These photos were provided to us by @[pyrus10000].

Earlier, Instagram user p3t3rparkour (spotted by @[Hato]) posted the first images we'd seen of Hasbro's Burst releases:

[Image: 1NXYuJ2.png]

[Image: RtUhGqv.png]

We also see the original Valkyrie (now Valtryek) Layer on the back of the box:

[Image: g9OqZIF.jpg]

These images confirm that Hasbro will be releasing the earlier "Basic Bey" models including Valkyrie, which is notorious for its fragile teeth that wear down after just a few battles, causing it to burst more easily. What remains to be seen is if Hasbro has addressed this issue. However, these haven't been spotted in stores yet.

In one final bit of disappointing news (although the stadium will likely prove to be a disappointment later on), Hasbro has made the bizarre decision to change the names of the parts from names like "Boost" to "D01" which literally just means "Disk 1".

[Image: xvR6Y36.jpg]

The "Variable" Driver (now Performance Tip) is now TA06. Despite the D01 Disk having a B on it and the TA06 Disk having a V on it. We had seen these part names in the mobile game already, but it's disappointing to see them in the real product line.

Overall, Hasbro seems to be diverging from Takara-Tomy's original concept and branding more than ever. What remains to be seen is how the products themselves hold up.

We’ve been anticipating Hasbro's release of Beyblade Burst ever since it was announced at New York Toy Fair in February, and today we got the first glimpse of its release … in the form of a mistakenly-released iOS app.

If you haven't already been reading posts around the site, we've recently learnt about some pretty interesting updates:

Details on Hasbro's version of the Beyblade Burst App!


While similar in someways to Takara Tomy's own Beyblade Burst app, it is also very different in most.

Unlike Takara Tomy's app that simply adds basic functionality and code-scanning on top of the website, Hasbro's app introduces a battling component — which obviously gives off a similar vibe to BeybladeBattles.com — as well as Stats, a virtual Store, Battle History and Beyblade Levels.



By selecting one of your four Beyblades, tap the crossed swords. You are given the options of Training, Multiplayer and playing in a Tournament style (which both aren't released to the public just yet).


When the Training option is tapped, you are given the choices of facing either a Custom Opponent, a Random Opponent or a Recent Opponent (which will lead you to a page with previous customization you've played).


The rules to win are pretty easy to learn. First to three points: Burst Finishes are worth 2 points and Survivor Finishes (outspinning the opposing Beyblade) 1 point.


To adjust your Launcher, slide it across the screen to your liking. While the feature is there, however, it really isn't entirely useful or necessary to win a BeyBattle. To launch, fill the meter below by tapping the needle when it enters the ''hot zone''. This will give you the edge in stamina as well as a spin bonus.



There are also other ways to get the upperhand in battle. These include Energy Orbs and Avatar Attacks.

Name Changes!

With the new Beyblade Burst app came with it a ton of name changes!

Valkyrie is renamed Valtryek.
Spriggan is renamed Spryzen.
Kerbeus remains unchanged.
Ragnaruk is renamed Roktavor.
Deathscyther is renamed Doomscizor.
Horusood remains unchanged.
Odin is renamed Odax.
Neptune is renamed Nepstrius.
Unicorn is renamed Unicrest.
Wyvern is renamed Wyvron.

Victory Valkyrie is renamed Valtryek V2.
Storm Spriggan is renamed Spryzen S2.
Kaiser Kerbeus is renamed Kerbeus K2.
Rising Ragnaruk is renamed Roktavor R2.

Layers are renamed Energy Layers.
Discs are renamed Forge Discs.
Drivers are is renamed Performance Tips.

Survive = TS01
Revolve = TS05
Press = TD04
Massive = TD02
Fusion = TB01
Edge = TS03
Defense = TD01
Blow = TA03
Accel = TA01
Zephyr = TB02
Variable = TA06
Unite = TB03

(S, D, A and B presumably stand for Stamina, Defense, Attack and Balance.)

Central = D08
Boost = D01
Armed = D10
Wing = D05
Spread = D06
Ring = D09
Oval = D13
Limited = D04
Knuckle = D02
Heavy = D07
Gravity = D03

All of these pieces are available in game.

While some of the names pretty interesting, we haven't really seen any amazing reactions to them. Most of these will be definite changes for those who had adjusted to the original names. Doomscizor was without a doubt the craziest to most!

Hey World Bladers! We're back with another recap of all the awesome news from CoroCoro magazine in Japan this month.

Details on Dragoon, Dranzer, Draciel, and Driger in Beyblade Burst

[Image: YEmQ7Ti.jpg]

This month we received our first confirmation on how exactly the Beyblade Burst S-series remakes will be released! For readers who aren't familiar with what makes this such a big deal: the S-series from the first generation of plastic Beyblades are some of the most iconic releases in Beyblade history, and their designs are getting faithful recreations in the current Beyblade Burst system, roughly fifteen years later.

[Image: ap8vKh6.jpg]

Here's what we know about each release:

Driger S.H.F (Heavy Fusion)

Driger S.H.F will be included as one of eight possible Beyblades you can receive from B-61 Random Booster Vol. 4, which will be released in the second half of October.

While many Bladers were hoping it would come with an update of the metal change tip-design, none of the S-series remakes include new Disks or Drivers. Metal change was a design last seen on Death Gargoyle MS from the Heavy Metal System, which, like Fusion, switches between a fast-moving attack-mode and a stationary stamina-mode depending on the angle of the tip on the stadium. However, it both traditionally moves faster and has higher stamina than Fusion and it's Metal Fusion equivalent, FS.


100 gold Driger S.H.F will also be distributed as part of a lottery in CoroCoro Aniki:

[Image: NHkTxKH.jpg]


Draciel S.C.P (Central Press)

Draciel S.C.P will be available as one of eight possible Beyblades you can receive from B-67 Random Booster Vol. 5, which will be released in December.

Dranzer S.S.T (Spread Trans)

Dranzer S.S.T will be exclusively sold at stores that host official Beyblade tournaments (WBBA) in Japan, for ¥972. Trans is a currently unreleased Driver, but it will be released before Dranzer S.S.T drops — more on this later in the article.

[Image: ozLjt14.jpg]

Dragoon .W.X (Wing Xtreme)

This will be available as a mail-order exclusive item in the December issue (release on November 15th) of CoroCoro Aniki in Japan. However, since this is being advertised as an exclusive recolor, it's likely Dragoon .W.X will get another release, though we don't yet know in what form.

---

Unlock Unicorn .D.P releases on August 6

[Image: oA0koz5.jpg]

A Defense-type that supposedly uses its large horn to knock back opposing Beyblades, Unlock Unicorn .D.N (Down Needle) will be released as a booster on August 6.

---

Triple Booster Set releases on August 6 with Nova Neptune .V.T


In addition to Victory Valkyrie U.Q. (Upper Quake) and Chaos O.G. (Oval Gyro), the Triple Booster set will contain the (almost) all-new Nova Neptune .V.T (Vertical Trans).


Trans can switch between a flat and sharp tip by rotating the tabs on its base.

---

This month's CoroCoro also contained a bunch of suggested combinations, most of which are probably not very good. But if you'd like to see them, along with the rest of this month's CoroCoro scans, you can check them out here.

Big thanks to @[Kai-V] for providing the scans!

Hey, World Bladers!

We've got some great announcements for you now, so sit back and enjoy!

HMS & Plastics Remembrance Day is especially relevant this month, so let's all celebrate this July 23rd & 24th!!


It's not fantasy, this is for real: Bakuten Shoot Beyblade, the first generation of Beyblades released back in 1999, is making a (small) comeback!

Just to summarise, this month we can expect:

• New Bakuten Shoot Beyblade manga chapter getting released in a side CoroCoro magazine, drawn by the original author Aoki Takao and featuring the four original main characters Takao (Tyson), Kai, Max and Rei (Ray).
  
  
• This manga chapter will be scanlated by a team of your fellow WBO Members and posted ASAP after publication!
  
  
• A gold Driger S Burst Ver. will be given away in a limited lottery in that CoroCoro issue.
  
  
• A Bakuten Shoot Beyblade 1 Legendary Beyblade book will be released on July 15th 2016 in Japan.
  
  
• Around fall, Dranzer S, Draciel S and Driger S are confirmed to be reproduced as Burst Beyblades.

But the excitement doesn't stop there, oh no! We're only getting started!!


Tournaments of the HMS or Plastic format!

No celebration would be complete without our members and their communities across the globe coming together to play Beyblade and pay homage the series that started it all. What's more, all participants of an HMS & Plastics Remembrance Day tournament will receive 1 extra Credit just for the occasion! That means you can get two Credits just for entering the tournament, which gets you at least one Face Booster or more in the Blader Rewards campaign!

Here's the current lineup of communities participating in HMS & Plastics Remembrance Day:




More events will be added as they are confirmed, so send us those proposals!




If any more incentive was needed, a BeyLotto ought to suffice!

This time around, all 10 winners picked will receive their choice of the Plastic-themed Face Boosters we rarely get to see! That means that you've got even more chances of obtaining one, on top of those you can get for participating in an HMS-format or Plastic-format tournament all year long!

As usual, the top prizes are reserved for Passport Holders as thanks for their continued support!

• Face Booster MAROON [Image: faceboostermaroon.png]
  
• Face Booster FLAXEN [Image: faceboosterflaxen.png]
  
• Face Booster CELESTE [Image: faceboosterceleste.png]
  
• Face Booster ADVANCE [Image: faceboosteradvance.png]
  

Face Contest: Design a Plastic or HMS Beyblade in Burst!

With the classic main S-Series Beyblades getting re-designs for Burst, we're challenging you to step into Takara-Tomy's design team's shoes once again! This time, to reimagine and redesign old school Beyblades as members of the Burst System!

The winners will get their choice of:

• Face Booster RED [Image: faceboosterred.png]
  
• Face Booster BLUE [Image: faceboosterblue.png]
  
• Face Booster GREEN [Image: faceboostergreen.png]
  
• Face Booster ORANGE [Image: faceboosterorange.png]
  
• Face Booster YELLOW [Image: FaceBoosterIconYellow.png]
  
• Face Booster PURPLE [Image: FaceBoosterIconPurple.png]

That's right, winners. The top three entries will each receive a Face Booster!


But wait, what's this? Just in, the top winner will also be getting...




Considering Takara-Tomy is already remaking the S-Series, we ask that you steer clear of redesigning those Blades and focus your attention to the rest of the incredibly diverse Bakuten Shoot Beyblade and HMS lines. You have until July 31st 2016, at 11:59:59 PM EST to submit your entry!


To read all the details on this Face Contest, make sure to check out the following topic:
https://worldbeyblade.org/Thread-Face-Co...e-in-Burst



HMS Face Boosters!

Plastics and regular Face Boosters still not enough for you? Well, you can get HMS Face Boosters for contributing to the WBO in a very special way: by donating $10!

When you make a donation of at least $10, you can choose between Face Booster BLACK II, WHITE, or WHITE II! Donations can be made via Paypal online, or directly at tournaments simply by giving an extra amount to the host, who will then transfer the total amount to us.




New Avatars!

Where would the WBO be without its ever elongating list of avatars to choose from in its Default Gallery? In line with tradition, HMS & Plastics Remembrance Day brings with it a slurry of nostalgia blended with the present — like this year's new additions to the avatar gallery!




Plastics & HMS on Social Media too!

Lastly, keep an eye on the WBO's social media pages over the next few weeks for plenty of Plastics & HMS related content!

And be sure to share your favorite memories of the first generation of Beyblade with the hashtag:


Do that and tag us @worldbeyblade to get 1 extra entry in the BeyLotto! We're really curious to see what you're going to post, so if you do the sharing, we'll do the caring!




Happy HMS & Plastics Remembrance Day!!

Hasbro's Beyblade Burst app to launch this August!

In case you missed it, Hasbro's splash page for their Beyblade Burst app is up, on which it says "Coming August 2016!" Does this mean Burst is just around the bend? Check out Kai-V's post in the Hasbro Beyblade Burst topic for more:

BeyDays was a blast thanks to all of you. What did you all like about this year's BeyDays? What would you change?

---

Over the past eight years, many hundreds of tournaments have been hosted, and without much trouble at that. Since we are all just fans dedicating an insane amount of time to this hobby, of course we accomodate and make modifications along the way to make things better for the community overall.

With the bright future of Beyblade Burst's globalization right on the horizon in mind, we wish to formally announce some rules that have been implicit so far, and also introduce a change that will probably please quite a few Bladers!


Blader Passport price decrease for Indian Members

Remember how we announced a few months ago that the Blader Passport would now cost $15 US?

In retrospective, we've decided to take into consideration that some countries' economies were too low and that this increase of value was actually detrimental and tournaments were less likely to take place there due to the new price.

We have therefore decided to modulate the cost of the Blader Passport for our longterm Indian community: for you guys, it'll be only $10 US, effective immediately!

We hope that you guys continue to show your Beyblade Spirit in tournaments for many years to come still!

If there are ever areas with a similar economical situation, we will of course consider giving them the same priviledge.

---

Multiple Tournaments Per Day

There are some occurences we have tolerated in the past without complaining too much, but as we keep growing, we have to step in when we're expected to make things fair for everyone globally. Unfortunately, sometimes that translates in some moderating moves like the following.

A maximum of two events can be held per day. Only special occasions or instances where something will definitely stop a region from holding more events in the subsequent months will justify organising more tournaments in one day. This is essentially a sister rule to the 8-Credit limit per weekend anyway, which some ran into when playing in more than two tournaments per weekend already!

Entry fees for side events cannot be collected at WBO sanctioned tournaments. While we appreciate the efforts of organizers who want to do something special, because we cannot oversee these events nor ensure that attendees understand they are completely separate from the WBO, we have to ask that organizers refrain from hosting side-events that charge fees separate from the usual WBO tournament fees. We encourage organizers who want to do something extra at their events to work with us.

---

Official Prize Reimbursement Guideline

While we've always been applying reimbursement for prizes equally or proportionally to all regions and instances, it's something we never actually wrote down and announced, so here you go!

• 8-12 players: $20
  
• 13-17 players: $30
  
• 18-24 players: $40
  
• 25-30 Players: $60
  
• 31-40 Players: $70
  
• 41+ Players: $80
  
• Exceptions are made for major events (e.g. conventions). Reimbursement amounts are per day, not per tournament.

Small variations may be allowed, and of course a lesser amount can be asked as reimbursement, but you should expect this sort of ranges globally. It also helps if you collect more single entry fees and, in other words, attract new Bladers to your tournaments!

---

That's it for now, but stay tuned for a lot more news coming up soon!

• October 2016 - Driger S.H.F (Heavy Fusion) will be one of the eight Beyblades that you can get in the Random Booster Vol. 4, for 972 yen.
  
  
• November 2016 - Dranzer S.S.T (Spread Trans) will be available as an exclusive wbba. store item in Japan, for the cost of 972 yen.
  
  
• November 2016 - Dragoon S.W.X (Wing Xtreme) - A CoroCoro Aniki Exclusive Recolour Ver. will be offered as a mail order item in the 11/15 CoroCoro Aniki issue meant for an older audience than the regular CoroCoro magazine.
  
  
• December 2016 - Draciel S.C.P (Central Press) will be included in the Random Booster Vol. 5, for 972 yen.

It is unknown so far how the regular Dragoon S.W.X will be released.


All remade Layers have slightly modified designs, as can be seen by this picture showing the old, Plastic model on the right and the new Burst remodel on the left:


TAKARA-TOMY has been extremely aware of the recent resurgence of activity from Bakuten Shoot Beyblade fans, from videos uploaded to YouTube to an increase in the number of tweets and online messages posted about that first generation of Beyblade. This is also why they made the conscious decision to open tournaments for all ages in Japan since the beginning of Beyblade Burst!

A golden logo has been created by TAKARA-TOMY to commemorate the re-releases; it reads "15th Beyblade Animation":


On July 2nd 2016, TAKARA-TOMY also opened a call for 100 people ages 16 and above to participate in a promotional video related to Beyblade Burst, most likely concerning this throwback to legendary Beyblades whose audience has now aged above the target audience for Beyblade Burst.
http://www.takaratomy.co.jp/event/eventl...extra.html

There’s been a ton of breaking Beyblade Burst news over the past few days, and now that we got our hands on this month’s CoroCoro — the monthly Japanese magazine that features Beyblade in it every month — so we thought it’d be helpful post a summary of everything. Warning: big images ahead, as these are full-sized magazine scans.

[Image: 425Hynl.jpg]

Here’s what we’re going to go over:

• Xeno Xcalibur .M.I starter with Sword Launcher
  
• Random Layer Collection Vol. 3
  
• New Rare Bey Get Battle Prize, βaldur
  
• Obelisk Odin .T.X booster
  
• Beyblade Burst Driger S (!)
  

[Image: jGgR0LO.jpg]

We got our first detailed look at Xeno Xcalibur .M.I (Magnum Impact). Priced at ¥1,500, it’s slightly more expensive than the average Beyblade Burst starter set. Which makes sense, considering there’s nothing average about what’s inside:

[center][/center]

As was previously known, Xeno Xcalibur is the first Layer to have a three-layer construction. A large golden sword, a clear red middle piece, and an icy-blue base that features several aggressive-looking spikes projecting outwards.


[*]A new disk, Magnum, which is the first Disk to also feature an attached plastic layer. It’s impossible to guess how it will perform, but it seems clear that the idea is that the Disk can be used as a method of attack as well as the Layer.


[*]Finally, the new Impact Driver features a Y-shaped rubber tip dissected by plastic. The image in CoroCoro depicts an unusual movement pattern, but of course, it’s impossible to draw any conclusions about its real-world performance before we get our hands on it.
[/list]


We also finally have some more information on the mysterious Sword Launcher and Sword Winder that come with Xeno Xcalibur. It appears to be similar in design to the winder-based Light Launcher, with a built in grip that the winder passes through. Evidently, rotating the Sword Winder will allow you to switch between “Power Mode” and “Control Mode.” We don’t currently know how each of these modes will function.

Xeno Xcalibur .M.I will be released early at the World Hobby Fair, with a general release on July 2nd.

[Image: OtX1U5s.png]

Also coming in early July is Random Layer Booster 3, featuring the prize Layer Jeir Jormungand, a green Evileye, red Yggdrasil, yellow Victory Valkyrie, and white Kaiser Kerberus. These are obtained in ¥400 vending machines in Japan, but some retailers do sell complete sets.


Arriving as a prize for the digital Rare Bey Get Battle is a new Dual Layer Beyblade, βaldur .β.β (Baldur written with the beta-symbol, as Amaterios was stylized with the alpha symbol as αmaterios αero αssault). Not much is known about it at this time, but we do have photos of all three of its parts available:

It will be available as the Rare Bey Get Battle prize on June 25th.

[Image: eWhxiXN.jpg]

This month’s release is Obelisk Odin .T.X. which releases on June 18th. Since Obelisk Odin was the prize of Random Layer Collection Vol. 2, it’s not a new part — nor is Xtreme, which debuted with Xcalibur Force Xtreme last December. The only new part is Triple, a round disk with three projections.

[Image: ObeliskOdin_TripleDisk.png]

However, this is the cheapest way to get Xtreme, a top-tier part that wears down over time. It’s also the cheapest Burst booster ever, being sold at a special promotional price of just ¥550 (compared to the regular price of ¥900).

[Image: R8HMdiR.jpg]

Finally, we come to what’s perhaps the most shocking news of the month. We’ve known for a while that a new chapter of the original Bakuten Shoot Beyblade manga — featuring old characters like Takao (Tyson) and Rei — but it was revealed this month that there will also be 100 Driger S Burst Beyblades produced, advertised with a darkened photo of what is unmistakably the original Driger S design remade as a Burst Beyblade.

Unfortunately, only 100 of these gold Driger S Burst Beyblades will be produced and given away as lottery prizes. It’s unknown whether it will ever be made more widely available. But we can all hope.

You can see all of our July 2016 CoroCoro scans here. Some stuff pictured not mentioned above:

• Gold, Silver, and Bronze Victory Valkyrie .B.V that will be used as G1 tournament prizes
  
• A spinning-center BeyStadium that will be used as the final stadium at World Hobby Fair 2016 G1 event
  
• A black Xcalibur Layer that will be included with the August issue of CoroCoro
  
• A new book, Beyblade Burst Victory Start Guide
  
• A guide on how Variable's condition changes its movement speed
  
  Big thanks to @[Kai-V] for the scans.

Rise and shine World Bladers, it's that time of the year!




We got you doing a double-take already, right? That's correct, we're starting off with a surprise right off the bat: this year, BeyDays officially extends and spans over two weekends! Since we know that life doesn't allow everyone to be able to participate either on May 28th or 29th for various reasons (not to mention that our Anime North events monopolize the greatest Bladers and hosts in the North America East Coast each year), you will now have a second official weekend to be able to take part in this celebration of Beyblade and our Beyblading spirit!

To be fair with every region, each area can only organize BeyDays tournaments during one of the two weekends. Actually, nobody's stopping you from hosting events on all weekends, but for what follows just below, any exceeding tournaments won't be considered as being part of BeyDays festivities, unfortunately!

Without further ado, here is the plethora of events currently confirmed to take place around the world for BeyDays!




Participants of any WBO tournament that takes place during BeyDays will receive the Face of Days VII!


Check out if you live close to a tournament and post in the event topic to confirm your presence! Don't skip this opportunity, BeyDays tournaments are always the most memorable!

Don't see your region up there? It's not too late! Gather at least 7 local Bladers including yourself and submit an Event Proposal! Here are a few things that could help you...


Waived Credit Limit

As usual, all BeyDays events are exempt from the limit of Credits of 8 per weekend. That way, there's no limit to your dedication to Beyblade!

On top of that...

Waived Entry Fee for Emerging Areas

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!

Instagram Campaign: BeySelfie


To further commemorate the start of the official WBO Instagram account, we're inviting you to join a fun campaign: BeySelfie!

From now until June 6, post a selfie of yourself up on Instagram with something Beyblade-related to show your passion for the game. It could be one Beyblade, it could be you laying down in your sea of Beyblades, etc.

Be imaginative and wild, and one selfie will be picked randomly at the end of the campaign! Therefore, here are the few rules to follow to be eligible:

• Keep the photograph appropriate for all ages
  
• Incorporate something clearly Beyblade-related in your selfie
  
• Only one entry per person
  
• You must be following the official worldbeyblade Instagram account
  
• Make sure to accompany your selfie with the following hashtags:
  
  
  
  #BeySelfie #WorldBeyblade
  
  
• It's not required to enter, but you can also tag us in your post worldbeyblade!
  

The winner will receive...

For the stupendous ~ANYTHING YOU WANT~, all we ask you is the usual: be reasonable in your choices (under $50 USD), explore the web to make sure it's actually obtainable, and please give us a list of three items you would like to get the most.

Submit tournament footage, gain extra BeyLotto entries!

On top of that, this year once again, if you film scenes at the BeyDays tournament you attend and put the footage together for the BeyChannel, you'll get an extra entry in the BeyLotto! Show us what your community's like and how intense the battles were!

If you have footage please follow the guidelines outlined here and send it to Kei. If you do not have enough footage to put together for a 2-4 minute video as is described in that thread, send the raw footage to Kei through a file sharing website instead.

---

So, what are your thoughts on BeyDays, and what are your thoughts on Beyblade? The past year has shaped a very bright future for our community and we certainly couldn't do much at all without you, so this is celebration of your Beyblade activity as well! Thank you!

The end of May hasn't come yet, but Happy BeyDays in advance from the whole WBO Committee!

Hey World Bladers!

We’re happy to announce that we’ve begun ranking tournaments for Beyblade Burst! As you all know, we started running ranked Beyblade Burst tournaments last year, but as of yet have not actually processed those rankings and put them live on the site. (Also, we ran into a show-stopping bug recently that delayed the launch of this even longer. Oops.)

That means that we have a huge backlog of tournaments to work through, but rest assured we’re going to get through all of them. For those of you who’ve battled in Burst tournaments already, please look forward to seeing your rank soon — I know I am, as well.

Going to the Rankings section of the site will now default to Burst Rankings, but of course there is still an option to view rankings for Metal Fight Beyblade, and we’ll continue to host and process tournaments hosted in MFB formats.

With the introduction of Burst rankings, we’re taking an important — and frankly, overdue! — step into the future of the WBO. But it’s not the only step we're taking.

Some of you might have noticed that we’ve started using Instagram (follow us at instagram.com/worldbeyblade!). Additionally, we’re making more efforts to be active on Facebook and Twitter, and expand to other social networks where we can reach new Bladers!

To spearhead that effort, we’re happy to welcome @[cadney] to the WBO Committee. She’s a relatively new Blader, but her passion for the game and the community we’ve built here, along with her years of both personal and professional experience in community management, social media, and communications make her the perfect fit for the role.

But cadney isn’t the only Blader we’re adding to the Committee; prolific tournament host and general all-around-awesome member @[Angry Face] is also joining us! His role is a bit less clearly defined, but considering his experience with graphic design and the competitive Beyblade scene, we’re sure to find plenty for him to do

Please join me in welcoming our two newest Committee members, and look forward to their contributions!

Finally, after almost a year in effect, the F230CF/GCF Trial Ban in the Zero-G Format has come to an end. But, what's the final verdict? Are we waving goodbye to the troublesome duo or are we giving them a probably not-so-warm welcome back?

If you played in any of the 10 events throughout the Trial Ban, you probably noticed how much fun the events were; no Blader ran the risk of being caught in F230CF/GCF's trap! While yes, they are indeed beatable, they are still — to this day — one of the most versatile setups to enter the game. With opinions from both the WBO staff and from you, the Blader community, we've come to the conclusion of keeping the F230CF and F230GCF duo banned! They will continue to be considered illegal in Zero-G Format Tournament play.

The decision may be final, but we're still super curious to hear your thoughts! If you have feedback on the ban, please post it here:

F230CF & F230GCF Trial Ban in Zero-G Format Discussion

Hey World Bladers!


To commemorate the upcoming release of a new Beyblade Burst system, Dual Layers, in April 2016, we thought it'd be fun to ask you to imagine one of the first four Beyblades before pictures of it actually get revealed! We did this for Bandid Genbull in 2012, remember?


Since we've already seen what Victory Valkyrie B.V. will look like, we challenge you to imagine what Storm Spriggan's design will be!

And you know what? The winner will obtain a free Storm Spriggan once it's released, woo! Of course, this wouldn't be a Face Contest if you couldn't win a Face Booster too!


You can find out more details about this Face Contest here:
https://worldbeyblade.org/Thread-Face-Co...m-Spriggan

The deadline is March 4th 2016.

Good luck!

The official English logo for Beyblade Burst has been revealed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office database, registered to d-rights — the official license manager of Beyblade.

To see this registered now suggests that plans for the series' international release are well underway. Unfortunately, we still don't know when that release will be. While various publications (particularly surrounding the live action movie announcement) pegged it at 2017, there doesn't seem to be a strong source for this.

A 2017 release would be comparable to the delay between Takara-Tomy's launch of Metal Fight Beyblade and Hasbro's release of Beyblade: Metal Fusion, but that can't necessarily be used to predict the future.

And while it's easy to assume so, we still don't have confirmation that Hasbro will actually be the company to pick up the distribution rights. Still, one thing's for certain: someday, somehow, Beyblade Burst will be hitting stores worldwide.

Hey World Bladers,

Today we're releasing our first rulebook for Beyblade Burst. It's available here and will be used for all Beyblade Burst events hosted by the WBO starting immediately.


What’s New

We’ve put in a lot of work towards streamlining these rules and making them easier to understand for Bladers of any skill level, in addition to helping tournaments go more smoothly. The biggest change made is the switch to mandatory double-blind selection; during the Beyblade selection phase of the match, both Bladers are to select their Beyblades in secret. The complicated stalling clause rule is no more.

Another meaningful addition is the Tournament Code of Conduct, which outlines what’s expected of Bladers participating in a WBO event. One of the reasons previous rulebooks were so big is that they were constantly being updated to react to ways that Bladers were attempting to exploit the rules. By simplifying them and clearly stating that attempts at circumventing them won’t be accepted, we’re trusting Bladers and judges to use their best judgement.

Other than that, the expectations are pretty basic: be nice, help new players, and keep the tournament running smoothly. Not very different from what you were already doing anyway, right?

One thing I would stress is that booing or taunting other Bladers isn’t OK, even if it’s meant as a joke. There’s no way to know if the other person is actually hurt by it and just trying to laugh it off, and it makes us look pretty bad to new Bladers and outsiders.

As with all rules in the WBO rulebooks, breaking them could lead to a suspension or ban from both the WBO website and tournaments — something we hate to do, but will do as necessary. So play fair and be good to your fellow Bladers!


Odin Layer Banned from WBO Tournaments

Since this is our first Burst rulebook release, it seemed fitting to take the opportunity to announce that we’ve decided to ban the Odin Layer from WBO tournaments. You can read the full discussion thread if you’re curious how we came to this decision, but I think the blurb in the rulebook sums it up nicely:

Quote:The Layer Odin is currently banned from use in World Beyblade Organization events due to its extremely high rate of victory compared to all other Layers in the game, when used in certain combinations. Due to its lack of reliable counters, the game became unhealthily centered around it.

This ban will be reviewed as new products are released.

We’re sincerely thankful for all of the feedback we received from the Blader community, which was invaluable in helping us reach this conclusion. There are definitely some who won’t be happy about this, but to be clear: none of us are happy to ban parts from formats that don’t normally restrict parts usage, so we’re hoping to bring Odin back into play as soon as a new release can bring balance to the game, or if some previously-undiscovered strategy comes to light.

You can continue to discuss the ban in the original thread.


Going Forward

You might’ve noticed that the new rules are on Google Docs. We’ll be using Google Docs for future documentation releases since it’s easy to update, distribute, and access from any device.

Rule changes that have been made for the Burst format don’t apply to other formats, but we may update those rulebooks in the future to be more in-line with this one.

And that’s it! Again, if you have thoughts on the new rules, feel free to post them in this thread.

Japanese forum now open!
Today we have an exciting announcement to make: the opening of the Japanese Forum!

As Beyblade’s birthplace, Japan has always held a massive importance. Yet, though so many of us import Beyblades from Japan and eagerly await news from Japan about new releases whenever a new series is active, the Japanese Beyblade community has always remained far removed from everything that we are trying to accomplish here on the WBO.

With the advent and prevalence of things like Youtube and Twitter since the original series launched so many years ago, we’ve gained the ability to come a little bit closer. But nevertheless, we’ve still remained separated. This is something that didn’t seem right given that we are, after all, called the World Beyblade Organization.

Recently, WBO member OkinawamTS informed us that he would be attending the World Hobby Fair Winter 2016 in Japan and would be happy to promote the WBO while wearing our t-shirts and handing out brand new, Japanese WBO Promo Cards. Because we didn’t want any Japanese people who visit the site to not have anywhere to go, we decided now is as good a time as ever to finally open a Japanese WBO Forum!

And thanks to ClaraM, who graciously agreed to translate some essential text for us, the forum is now ready! She will also be acting as the moderator for the forum. Thank you so much for your help!

Of course, the forum is for Japanese-speakers only, but please feel free to take a look at it here.

WBO x WARIBEY Tournament in Tokyo - April 3, 2016
Finally … not only would we like to encourage the growth of a Japanese community here on the forums, we’d also like to promote what arguably makes the WBO so special: our tournaments. And we’ve got one for you! Partnering with famous Japanese Beyblading team WARIBEY, we will be hosting a WBO x WARIBEY tournament on Sunday, April 3rd in Tokyo, Japan. Please stay tuned for more details in the official thread!

After much suspense and speculation, it's time to reveal the results of the Scavenger Hunt!!

First of all, the whole team would like to thank you for participating so actively. You guys clearly had a passion and it was so pleasant to see you all hard at work!



Answers

We'll start by giving the answers for the questions. The success rate for this year's bunch was quite high, so good job to all, some almost free points!

• Find the fact on worldbeyblade.org: List all the Committee Members, retired and active, as well as the date on which they were added to the staff team Admittedly, this question should have been worth more, but the trick was really to look at list of of Members who had received the Face of Soul and just look back a few days prior to when they had gotten it to find the date of their introduction to the Committee. Alternatively, just look at the first post of some of our announcement topics. After that, there were just around five exceptions you had to work more for, but it was totally doable. Here's what should be the complete list:
  
  Bey Brad - Dec 4th 2008, Aug 14th 2015
  Kai-V - April 27th 2009
  Kei - Dec 4th 2008
  Synesthesia - Dec 4th 2008
  G - Dec 4th 2008
  Blader DJ - Dec 4th 2008
  Khel - March 30th 2009
  Guardian Odin - March 30th 2009
  theflightyellz - May 5th 2010
  Rocky - June 2nd 2009
  Hiro Ayami - August 30th 2009
  Yugi Jyudai - August 30th 2009, December 5th 2009
  Serotonin - Dec 17th 2009
  Arupaeo - December 5th 2011
  Hazel - December 5th 2011
  LMAO - August 27th 2015
  Naijalak - June 26th 2014
  Uwik - January 27th 2013
  The Boss - June 4th 2015
  Blitz - June 20th 2011
  ZenX - Jan 09 2009
  Aqua - Dec 17th 2009
  Daegor42 - Jan 8th 2011
  
  Also remember that the Committee was technically only introduced when Beywiki got turned into the World Beyblade Organization, even though some of the above Members have been part of the staff since almost the beginning of Beywiki.
  
  
• Find the fact on worldbeyblade.org: "Who once vandalized Beywiki's content?" Blader:Kenny
  
  
• Find the fact on worldbeyblade.org: "Where does our use of 'carp' as a word filter come from?" Blader:Kenny's FIGHTING ANIMALS topic. It started with "Ginta said carp", but I am not certain it should be linked to hah.
  
  
• Find the fact on Beywiki!: "What are all the languages covered by Beywiki's database?" For this, we accepted two sets of answers : either just Beywiki's four languages (English, French, Turkish and Italian), since the question did say "Beywiki's database", or Beyblade Wiki's full list of languages, but English and Turkish needed to be added to the long list since technically Beywiki has already merged with Beyblade Wiki even if the articles have not all been moved yet : English, Deutsch, Español, Русский, Polski, Français, Italiano, Português, Chamoru, Ελληνικά, עברית, Bahasa Indonesia, 日本語, Nederlands, ‪Norsk (bokmål)‬, Português do Brasil, Tiếng Việt, 中文.
  
  
• Find the fact on Beywiki: Name four Beyblades that only have up to 100 units released. There were many good answers, but the most common were : Legend Beyblade Set, Gryph Dragooon SA165WSF, Valkyrie Wing Accel Black Knight Ver., etc. Wyvern DJ Gold Ver. apparently had 400 copies, so it couldn't be accepted!
  
  
• Find the fact on Beywiki: "What months and years did each of the three Beyblade generations' toyline AND anime begin?" This is the full list :
  Bakuten Shoot Beyblade toyline : July 1999, anime : January 2001
  Metal Fight Beyblade toyline : August 2008, anime : April 2009
  Beyblade Burst toyline : July 2015, anime : April 2016
  
  
• Find the fact on worldbeyblade.org: Name one account that was deleted from the World Beyblade Organization. This question was kindly donated by Hato, who also humbly decided to remove himself from the contest to avoid any conflict of interest! The best answer was DormantSpirit, which we discussed more than once even years after the act, but there was also Flaming Tiger. Essentially, deleted accounts have posts with black usernames.
  
  
• Find the fact on worldbeyblade.org: "what was the quest for?" Also donated by Hato! The answer was Quetz, from "The Quest for Quetz", our first Blader Rewards campaign!
  
  
• Find the fact on worldbeyblade.org: "What was the name of the Beyblade series that could have been released after Beyblade G Revolution?" Another donation from Hato! It was "Beyblade Insect".
  
  
• Find the fact on worldbeyblade.org: Name two other alternative links for the World Beyblade Organization. We had a few that we are actually going to get rid off, but some of them are : worldbeyblade.net, worldbeyblade.com, beywiki.com, beyblademetalfury.com, etc.
  

Hopefully you're not biting the interior of your cheeks too much after seeing how simple some of these questions were, but it's all for fun anyway!
