Any information about that tournament would be posted here, in the official tournament thread. RE: Questions about the WBO - Aqua - Nov. 11, 2009 There doesn't seem to any links to the WBO Rule Books (Standard Version and Universal Version), and to the WBO Event Guide anywhere on the site, aside from the News thread where they were originally posted :\ RE: Questions about the WBO - Bey Brad - Nov. 11, 2009 (Nov. 11, 2009 1:46 PM)Aqua Wrote: There doesn't seem to any links to the WBO Rule Books (Standard Version and Universal Version), and to the WBO Event Guide anywhere on the site, aside from the News thread where they were originally posted :\ Yeah, you're right. These are in the updated layout which is to be released when the BP system is redone. Obviously stuff is taking longer than usual, so there really should be a link elsewhere. RE: Questions about the WBO - Aqua - Nov. 11, 2009 Oh, okay. Good to know. RE: Questions about the WBO - Dirge - Nov. 25, 2009 if i was to buy a wbo passport at this time in the year would it end at the end of this year or be carried over for a year? also with host tornements how you charge 5$US or something if you dont have a passport does it matter to much if the exchange rate changes abit before you get to put the money into paypal and stuff? RE: Questions about the WBO - AnnieDuck - Nov. 25, 2009 I think it's a twelve months from the day you bought it thing.

What Annie said. It's a one year subscription, as it clearly states in the "Passport" section: Passport Section Wrote:A Blader Passport costs $10 USD a year It's $5 regardless of exchange rates. RE: Questions about the WBO - Dirge - Nov. 25, 2009 so lets say i host a tornement and they give me the exchange rate for the day and i go to put the money into my paypal the next day and its like a few cents or something short of the total it should be,would i have to go back and get some more money of the people who competed?

If you got what was the equivalent of ten American dollars on the actual day of the tournament, that is all that should matter. You are not responsible for the world's economy. RE: Questions about the WBO - Dirge - Nov. 25, 2009 ahh sweet i was realy confussed about that RE: Questions about the WBO - SonicManEXE - Nov. 29, 2009 Who does the videos for the BeyChannel?

I don't make them anymore. RE: Questions about the WBO - theflightyellz - Nov. 30, 2009 Are there any further face competitions planned? Only asking because there hasn't been one since Brad stepped down if memory serves me right. RE: Questions about the WBO - Kai-V - Nov. 30, 2009 (Nov. 30, 2009 12:59 PM)theflightyellz Wrote: Are there any further face competitions planned?For one, we actually had a singing contest almost nobody participated to ... At least, from what I remember it happened after Brad 'left'. RE: Questions about the WBO - theflightyellz - Nov. 30, 2009 In all honesty, the singing competition wasn't exactly something everyone could take part in. Art and writing contests are something that anyone can participate in, everyone has access to either a pen and paper, or at least some crude form of drawing software (MS paint, GIMP.etc), or a program like notepad for writing, where as not everyone has access to a microphone and recording software. RE: Questions about the WBO - RagnaBloodedge - Dec. 05, 2009 What is the Bey News section for? Seems to be the only section that isn't used.

I created it while I was still here to be sort of a "blog" for quick Beyblade news that is generally added to individual topics, but ... nobody ever used it lol RE: Questions about the WBO - Kai-V - Dec. 05, 2009 I would use it, but I barely see anybody browsing the portal anyway, so I do not know if it would be really necessary to post news twice, in the Bey News forum and in the actual topics. People would reply to both, wouldn't they ? RE: Questions about the WBO - Bey Brad - Dec. 05, 2009 you can disable replying in that forum, plus people might use the portal were there actually anything there RE: Questions about the WBO - RagnaBloodedge - Dec. 05, 2009 (Dec. 05, 2009 10:13 PM)Bey Brad Wrote: you can disable replying in that forum, plus people might use the portal were there actually anything there I agree. Maybe, instead of bringing users straight to the forum, you could take them to the portal from the home URL. That's what the forums I'm on do.

Maybe, instead of bringing users straight to the forum, you could take them to the portal from the home URL. That's what the forums I'm on do. I don't agree with this thinking. We saw a huge rise in posting activity once we made the forums the main page. RE: Questions about the WBO - ChKn - Dec. 06, 2009 Do you guys plan on implementing a Regional Zones section to the forums if activity rises substantially? What I've noticed in the WBO Organized Play is that there is no division between each part of the world. Once competition hits the US and more people find about this site, people would want to find out if anyone's in their region and thus can organize together to create tournaments within that state/region. Each state in the region would have it's own respective thread. The latter would be a better way of others finding events in one's area rather than make a topic stating "Is there a tournament in [insert area here]?" For example, for a US region: -Atlantic South would consist of -Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee The other regions would be: -Atlantic North -MidWest -SouthWest -etc. The rest can be applied to Canada, Europe, and other International Regions. EDIT: I have a few more suggestions, but I'll let them pan out over time. RE: Questions about the WBO - Tempestas007 - Dec. 06, 2009 There is the map members can add themselves to and check to see if anyone is in their region. And the committee has to approve of all prospective tournaments. It helps prevent excessive tournaments from popping up all at the same time. Especially without sufficient planning. RE: Questions about the WBO - ChKn - Dec. 06, 2009 Are the blue members of this site Tournament Organizers? If so and if approval is the main deal for tournaments, how about appointing 2-3, or 4-5(at initial launch) TO's per state to be responsible for creating "official" events? The TO's would be part of a group that would moderate how exactly the tournaments are run(venue-wise, not rule-book wise) in their state. People do host "un-approved" tournaments. It would be nice to see it posted in the respective state's thread, so other people know where just go to chill and enjoy themselves. Why actually not go further into organization rather than deny it? In other communities, such as Street Fighter(Shoryuken), regional zones are used more for a social system, which leads to higher participation in the community. Higher participation in the community means more of a chance to have meet-ups or an encouragement in decent expectations in the number of entrants for tournaments. I have another question: Beyblade is similar in the amount of thought put into the ruleset as is Super Smash Bros., so it can live up to the ultimate goal of the game. I know that in SSB, the recommended ruleset is modified, depending on the region. Does the WBO ruleset have to be followed 100% or can there be deviations in certain areas that are not related to parts and stages?

Also, this game is different from Smash, tournament wise. |
