  BEYDAYS 2013 is on! + Special $20 BeyStadium Attack Type Deal!
Posted by: Kai-V - Yesterday 07:10 AM - Replies (33)

Dear World Bladers,


The tradition is back!

On May 25th and May 26th, the world will vibrate with the sound of our Beyheartbeats for the fifth year of BEYDAYS!!


For this special occasion, we of course organised BEYBLADE REVOLUTION: WBO North American Championship for all the Bladers in North America, and we prepared a few exciting activities for you as well. However, what's more crucial and at the very heart of BeyDays is the explosion of tournaments all around the world! Here's what's already planned, and there could be more to come - it all depends on you!

May 25th


May 26th
May 18th
Come on guys, there are way more active Beyblade communities in the world than that! Get your Event Proposals in before it's too late!

To help everyone out, we've got several cool features for you this year:
  • Regions who have never hosted a WBO tournament in the past will be able to hold a free event for BeyDays 2013 without the $5 entry fee!
  • We will also waive the entry fee for regions that have not hosted an approved tournament in the last five months!
  • If you can't quite get the eight required confirmed participants yet, we'll send invites to the Members who signed up on the BeyMap in your area to urge them to attend and have fun on BeyDays, before the Event Proposal is even approved!

BeyDays, with all those exceptions, is the best opportunity to start up an active Beyblade scene in your region for the rest of the year!

So, do you want to host a BeyDays 2013 tournament in your area?
Click here for details! (Click to View)

2013 is no different than the past years, so each participant of a BeyDays tournament will receive the brand new Face of Days IV, simply for showing up and playing at an event!

...

What's this that Blader DJ is whispering in my ear?

...

Oh, yes! Let the usual BeyLotto roll!

[Image: beylotto.png]

This year again, every participant of a BeyDays tournament will be automatically entered in this BeyLotto. The more tournaments you enter, the more chances you have in the lottery which will be done completely at random.

Due to the restraints of holding a budget to pay for the travel expenses of the champions in North America though, we're only going to reveal the prizes available in the BeyLotto in the next few days, but you can totally bet, based on the previous editions of BeyDays, that they'll be super hot!! There could even be WBO exclusivities, woo!

For certain, we can unveil that the following Face Boosters will be up for grabs in the BeyDays BeyLotto, so this is your ultimate chance to get a sweet Face under your avatar!
    -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]
    -Face Booster CRIMSON [Image: faceboostercrimson.png]
    -Face Booster AZURE [Image: faceboosterazure.png]


Purchasing or currently having a Blader Passport will ensure you a very special place in the results if you are picked! For example, the first three winners will be Passport Holders, as thanks for your support towards the World Beyblade Organization!
Blader Passports can be purchased at the cost of $10 US either online via our Passport page, or at any official WBO tournament.

Submit tournament footage, gain extra BeyLotto entries!
On top of that, this year, 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 send 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.



Spread the word out and support the WBO and BeyDays on Twitter and on Facebook!

#BEYBLADE #BEYDAYS

So Melbourne, Sydney, Arizona, Italy, Texas, Philippines, Vancouver, and whoever else can gather enough Bladers in their area: come and join us in this grand Beyblade celebration!



Face Contest: Photography 3!

For those of you who really can't attend one of the tournaments, we're still going to keep you up in hype with a new Face Contest! The last one was very popular, and we know you love it, so we're bringing a third photography contest!

It's simple: capture a great moment involving one or more Beyblades, upload it on an image-hosting website, and enter it into the Face Contest! It's time to show off your cool recolour, or a beautiful mix of a landscape with a Beyblade.

For more details, check out the topic where you can post your entries:
http://worldbeyblade.org/Thread-BeyDays-...tography-3

The deadline for this Face Contest is June 2nd 2013. Good luck everyone!



WBO Limited Offer: 20$ BeyStadiums Attack Type!!

The WBO brings you yet another awesome exclusivity! It might be too late for BeyDays, but it's certainly never too late to start up some Beyblade activity in your region.

You think you'd be able to gather enough participants already? You know the rules by heart? Everyone's set on a date and a venue, but all that's missing is a legal stadium? This is exactly what you waiting for!

The World Beyblade Organization has acquired a limited set of BeyStadiums Attack Type and will give them away for the really low price of $20 to potential tournament hosts in new parts of the world that are usually quiet when it comes to Beyblading! These stadiums, the fairest ever made for the Metal Fight Beyblade series, can also complementarily be used for testing!

[Image: WBOAttackTypeBeyStadium.jpg]

There are just a few conditions that need to be fulfilled to be eligible for this deal:
  • The Member has to demonstrate clear, on-site efforts to concretise an event in their area, notably with eight or almost eight Bladers basically ready to play at any moment.
  • The region targetted by the Event Proposal has to be new to Beyblade tournaments or, depending on the demand, has to own too few legal stadiums for an event to reasonably run smoothly and quickly.
  • Of course, the cost for the stadium is $20, shipping included.

As it's been implied, we will deal with requests for those stadiums over in the Event Proposals sub-forum.


This deal is completely limited, due to production of Attack Type BeyStadiums having been stopped in Japan for some time now, so it's definitely your one and only chance! Grab this opportunity now while you can, and finally give your community what it's been thirsting for all this time!






Have a great BeyDays everyone!! Spread your passion, make it come to life in tournaments, and otherwise have fun during this special celebration!

  BEYBLADE REVOLUTION: WBO North American Championship!!
Posted by: Kei - Apr 04 2013 07:31 PM - Replies (245)

World Bladers! The revolution begins! The WBO is proud, and incredibly excited to announce our first ever North American Championship: BEYBLADE REVOLUTION as a part of BEYDAYS 2013!

[Image: beybladerevolutionlogoa.png]

SATURDAY, MAY 25, 2013

On Saturday, May 25th, 2013 during our annual global celebration of Beyblade, BEYDAYS, the best Bladers in North America will gather in Toronto, Ontario, Canada at ANIME NORTH 2013 in order to compete for the prestigious title of WBO North American Champion!!!

So, do you think you have what it takes? BEYBLADE REVOLUTION will be open to the public, but if you don't live near Toronto, you can earn paid travel expenses to Toronto by winning a tournament in the WBO North American Championship Qualifier Series!


All tournaments are ZERO-G Format.

Ruling Clarification:

This list is likely not final, so please stay tuned for updates about more qualifiers in the coming days/weeks!

What do Qualifiers win?
Winners of these tournaments will receive the following:
  • Paid travel expenses, by plane or bus (whichever is cheapest) to ANIME NORTH 2013 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada for BEYBLADE REVOLUTION.
  • An ANIME NORTH 2013 Pass

Qualifiers will be responsible for finding/paying for accommodations in Toronto, but we will work closely with each of you to make sure that you find somewhere suitable. Additionally, the winner will be required to consult with the Committee before booking their flight/bus, and then after approval, provide a booking confirmation to the WBO Committee before they can provide reimbursement for the traveling costs.

Mandatory $5 Entry Fee = More Qualifiers + Extra Credits + Free Face Booster!
To help subsidize the high cost of flying/busing the qualifiers to Toronto, a mandatory $5 entry fee will be imposed on all Qualifier Series tournaments, regardless of whether or not a participant has a Blader Passport, and there will be no prize reimbursement apart from the travel expenses for the winner. We hope that everyone can understand this! The more funds we have, the bigger this championship will be! However, to show our appreciation for your cooperation and support in helping to fund the championship, all participants in Qualifier Series tournaments will receive the following:
  • The limited edition, commemorative Revolution Face: [Image: revolutionfacev2.png]
  • +1 Extra Credit to be used for prizes from our awesome Blader Rewards, on top of whatever they would have normally earned.
  • One of these Face Boosters:
    -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]
  • Current Passport Holders will earn +2 Extra Credits, rather than +1, 2 Face Boosters from the list above, rather than just 1, and they will be entered into an exclusive Passport Holder Only BeyLotto!:

[Image: beylotto.png]

All Passport Holders who participate in a WBO North American Championship Qualifier Series tournament will gain an entry into this exclusive BeyLotto! What can you win, you ask? Well, here's the prize breakdown:

1st Place: WBO T-Shirt + WBO 4GB USB Key + BBG-26 Starter Samurai Pegasis W105R²F or BBG-27 Starter Gladiator Bahamdia SP230GF

2nd Place: WBO 4GB USB Key + BBG-26 Starter Samurai Pegasis W105R²F or BBG-27 Starter Gladiator Bahamdia SP230GF

3rd Place:: BBG-26 Starter Samurai Pegasis W105R²F or BBG-27 Starter Gladiator Bahamdia SP230GF

Besides the WBO T-Shirt, all of the prizes are being donated by our very own WBO Authorized Dealer, dimsum2u! You can see what items he has for sale here.

Donations
For anybody who wishes to support us beyond participating in any of the qualifier tournaments, you are also welcome to make a donation!












As always, for every $10 donated, you'll receive a gift from us in the form of Face Booster WHITE or Face Booster BLACK II; it's your choice.

[Image: FaceBoosterIconWhitev2.png] [Image: FaceBoosterIconBLACKII.png]

  Introducing... The new BeyMap!!
Posted by: Kai-V - Mar 23 2013 03:24 PM - Replies (89)

4 years ago, the encyclopedia Beywiki was relaunched officially as the World Beyblade Organization.

It introduced a new layout, the Beypoint System - the world ranking system for Bladers, and one other feature...

Unfortunately, as part of an obligatory upgrade, the Usermap meant to be a grandiose directory of the Bladers all around the globe stopped working due to a flaw in the plugin's script, sadly right before the boom of growth created by Hasbro's release of Metal Fight Beyblade.


Finally however, the BeyMap is back, and better than ever! Get ready for the optimal experience as a Beyblader!!


[Image: BeyMapLogo.png]


We could not settle only for making the old Usermap get back on track and running, no! While we were at it, we took the progress to a whole new level by developing 3 layers of Beyblade info!


Beybladers

Of course, the core function of the BeyMap is to visualise in a clear way where all the Bladers in the world live. Therefore, when you sign yourself up on the BeyMap, an icon gets added in your location, and it becomes very easy to see the hot spots of the Beyblade community!

With just this set of data, you'll be already able to see :
  • who else lives close to you
  • how many Bladers are around you
  • whether everybody else is more around one similar city, which would mean that you'd have to go out to their location for an event.

We had region threads in the WBO General forum before, but this is really something else! Below the BeyMap, you can see a list of the eight Members closest to you, without even needing to snap your fingers!


Events

The first of the two new features: tournaments are now shown directly on the BeyMap! They're very easy to notice, what with their flashy WBO icon! [Image: mapeventlogo3.png]

But oh boy, that absolutely isn't it!
  • Hovering over the orange WBO icon will show you the details of the event, such as the date of the tournament, the location, and the link to the topic. Clicking on this link will of course take you right to the official thread for the WBO Event, and you can post there to let the Organizer know that you'll be able to attend the tournament!
  • You can see upcoming Events right below the Map too! No need to search on the map among all the Blader icons and the Event icons for where you live: the info's right there, quickly within your reach!
  • The most important add-on: we're able to send invites to all the Bladers in the region of an upcoming or potential tournament! That's right, forget about keeping your contact list up-to-date; as long as everyone's registered on the Map, we'll be able to reach everybody and let them know about your tournament! This will work on two dimensions: if a region has never had any Events before, we can send a tentative invite to people nearby the proposed location of the tournament and we'll ask the interested to post about their intention to come to the Event; if it's a region that's used to have tournaments already, or if an Event has gotten the minimum eight players in a new region and has finally been approved, then a new official message will be sent out to all the Members close to the Event to let them know that it's definitely going to happen!


Stores

Oooh, we bet you didn't see that one coming!

Another part of the reality of being a Blader is... finding your stock! It's great to know that there are fellow Bladers around you and that there are Events nearby too, but you can't do much without good Beyblade parts!

For this reason, you'll now be able to use the BeyMap to find out where the nearby Stores are that carry Beyblades, and exactly which items they have in stock! It's also useful for your last-minute Beyblade needs before a tournament: now you can see all the stores close to the Event location, as well as see if they have something you're looking for, like a new RF or R²F for your Attack combos!

This layer of the BeyMap is entirely user-generated though. This is where you can put your "BeyHunting" to great use! When you go to a store and see that Toys "R" Us on X street in Y state has all the basic Hyperblade releases, take a few minutes to go add that information on the BeyMap so that other Bladers interested in that region's stock can benefit from those details. It's really simple, and if someone else goes afterwards and sees that there are no more Big Bang Pegasus F:D in stock, the information on the Map can be updated with a quick click!


There are 2 simple steps to contributing to the Stores layer of the BeyMap:

1. Add the Store onto the BeyMap - Know a store, whether huge like a local Toys "R" US or Walmart, or a smaller distributor like One Eyed Jacques in the future? Mark it up right on the BeyMap, and that'll already be useful to other Bladers who might just be looking for a store selling Beyblades, short and sweet like that! To add a Store, you really just need to go on the main page of the Map, and go to the section on shops right at the bottom. You'll be taken to a page with futher instructions there.

2. Add the Store's stock - When you went to Target on (Blader Street) in (BeyState), you saw Wing Pegasus, L-Drago Destructor F:S, Beat Lynx AD145WD (Metal Fury), Omega Dragonis 85XF, and Flash Sagittario 230WD ? Let others know about it just by going on the Stores layer by clicking on the "Stores" box at the top right corner of the BeyMap, find the shop you are referring to, and manage its stock right there just by submitting separate item names.



Don't worry about the big chunks of text, we got our very dear BLADER DJ to walk you through the technicalities and features of the new BeyMap! Thanks BLADER DJ for taking time out of your retirement to grant us with your questionable English and your fiery hot Blader Spirit!





If you're shy or wish to remain slightly confidential, no worries: don't hesitate to make your location on the BeyMap as vague as you want. You live in Whitchurch-Stouffville, Ontario, Canada ? You can either only enter "Ontario, Canada", or you can write "Toronto, Ontario, Canada" instead since you'll probably get updates about events there anyway. It's totally up to you!



Being a Blader has truly never been easier! Besides getting all your top info and advice from the experts of the WBO, you can now know very quickly whether there's a Beyblade tournament right in your area, and you'll know where to improve your collection too! With Metal Fury not yet having reached all the regions in the world, and with Shogun Steel, Hasbro's adaptation of Metal Fight Beyblade Zero-G, you'll know where to go as soon as it's known!

All of these new features definitely incarnate the core principles that the World Beyblade Organization was created with, notably being open to every Blader, informing every Blader, helping every Blader, and realising Blader's dreams. From the beginning, and for years to come, we take our hobby into our hands, and nothing's going to stop us!


So now, go share this news with all your friends interested in Beyblade; we wasted time with the downtime of the usermap before, but we've still got 80,000 Members, the official Beyblade Facebook Page has more than 300,000 followers, so we can definitely cover some of the ground we've lost!

If you're on Twitter, we've created a new hashtag just for this: #WBOBeyMap #GameDev #Beyblade
On Facebook, you can simply share our news post!


Also, here's one such tournament you will be able to find marked on the BeyMap in the next few weeks and that you can look forward to!

Dear World Bladers, the results for the Scavenger Hunt are in!


This first edition was a huge success, and you can bet that we will try it again in the future (with new questions and achievements of course)! One thing's certain: it definitely made people search more around the site and even learn more about its history and its functions.

(2 points) : Valentin, Bey Brad, Kei, ikmv, Kai-V, marcoy, DJ Leon, zrialkilla, Atongits, and zionson. Some Italian Members were also shown wearing a WBO T-shirt, but they were technically not posted right on this site.

There were other Members who had accumulated more points, but since they were found to have shared answers with others, unfortunately we had to move them out of prize range. The points have remained though, so they can still be exchanged for the aforementioned Face Boosters!

Here are the rest of the participants who have gotten enough points for the Anniversary Face 2012!

But hey, you remember that we mentioned that 10 lucky Members who would do something extra in this Scavenger Hunt, notably by the quality of their contributions, would get a special prize? This surprise is from dimsum2u, who has generously decided to add 10 clear red Perseus Faces to the prize pool!! Thanks dimsum2u! Look at these beauties!

The winners, specifically chosen by us, are: Tris, Sentinel Prime, Luck, Cannon, Galaxy, Dark_Mousy, Darrel Lie, The Assassin, Lambo-Kun, and Samkul238. Good work to all of you! Send a PM to Kai-V with your shipping address.



That's it for today! Once again, congratulations to everybody, you all did really well!

By the way, we might have a very brief maintenance period in the night of Saturday to Sunday, but it shouldn't last much more than an hour! We'll simply be upgrading our software.

  BEYBLADE COLOSSEUM at Carolina Games Summit - February 2nd 2013
Posted by: Kai-V - Jan 22 2013 08:07 PM - Replies (35)

Good morning/afternoon/night World Bladers!

The results of the Scavenger Hunt are coming up soon, but for the moment, we wanted to properly promote one of the big Beyblade tournaments of 2013 : BEYBLADE COLOSSEUM.


Hosted by Dark_Mousy, this event will be held inside the Carolina Games Summit, a huge gaming convention located in North Carolina, specifically at Wayne Community College in Goldsboro.

On February 2nd, the main tournament will happen. Since there will be many participants, the format will be Double Elimination, adding much stress and excitement to the game!

The day after, on February 3rd, Dark_Mousy will host two smaller events, one with the Zero-G format, and the other, with the Plastics format. Every Blader can find their prefered game!


The World Beyblade Organization will of course be sponsoring all of these tournaments, but Youtube's Beyblade Geeks as well as Hasbro have agreed to lend out prizes too! This will be wicked!

You can find the official press release written by the Carolina Games summit right here: http://carolinagamessummit.com/journal.php#93

And here's the Beyblade Geeks' cool video about BEYBLADE COLOSSEUM and their sponsorship:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7710pwYWDnI



So, if you're in reasonable distance to North Carolina, even if you live in another state, this will definitely be an intense weekend and you really don't want to miss it!

I thought I would drop this link to our youtube account. It is mainly music videos that we have produced over the many years, as well as the beginning of a project that Breedo is putting together, called the BeyUK Preservation Project.

  Nelvana and Hasbro dub Metal Fight Beyblade Zero-G as "BEYBLADE: Shogun Steel"
Posted by: Kai-V - Dec 13 2012 05:14 PM - No Replies

Source : http://worldbeyblade.org/Thread-Hah-Zero...ogun-Steel

This confirms that the current Zero-G series in Japan will go up to at least 51-52 half-episodes in order to create 26 full half-hour episodes for the Western countries. Therefore, Metal Fight Beyblade Zero-G should continue in Japan until March, as usual.

Meanwhile, there are still no news about upcoming Beyblade releases from TAKARA-TOMY though.


There is no information about approximately when the new Metal Fight Beyblade season "Shogun Steel" will be broadcast in the Western countries or about when Hasbro plans to start releasing the new Beyblades and whether they will be left intact.

  Celebrations: WBO Anniversary!
Posted by: Kai-V - Dec 04 2012 11:49 PM - Replies (829)

Good morning/afternoon/night World Bladers!


December 5th is usually Brad Day, but this year we decided that it was appropriate to make the transition to simply "WBO Anniversary". As Brad once said over five years ago:

Bey Brad Wrote:This is not my community. This is our community.

So, it is with these words in mind that we are proud to announce that December 4th, 2012, is the WBO's 4th Anniversary!!

[Image: WBOFourthAnniversaryLogo.png]

For the official 4th anniversary of the World Beyblade Organization, there are tons of festivities to celebrate these four years full of hundreds of tournaments all around the world, the highest degree of innovation in customizations, and always the hottest Beyblade news! You definitely can’t find that anywhere else, and we should be proud to be a part of this phenomenon!

Tweet away and be sure to share these celebrations on Facebook too! Don't forget to follow and like us as well!:



To start off, you've probably already noticed, but we've updated the index banner with the newest incarnation of Pegasis, Samurai Pegasis!

Scavenger Hunt
Now, to kick off the celebrations, we’ve got a super exciting, month-long activity : a Scavenger Hunt!! The goal of this hunt is to gain as many points as possible by fulfilling several objectives related to the WBO. Here they are :
  • Host or participate in at least one approved tournament (4 Points)
  • Find the fact on worldbeyblade.org : "What's the average RPM for a Metal Fight Beyblade?" (1 Point)
  • Get four of your referrals to Like the official WBO Facebook Page (2 Points)
  • Earn four (new) valid referrals (3 Points)
  • Get a photograph of at least four people playing Beyblade, with a big sign saying "Happy Anniversary WBO! " (3 Points)
  • Share a Beywiki article (requires proof such as a screenshot) (1 Point)
  • Share a BeyChannel video (requires proof such as screenshot) (1 Point)
  • Where on BeyChannel? "Bring on the power!" (1 Points)
  • Receive an additional, new Face (2 Points)
  • Be the first to find the "____ Face" hidden around the site each week (2 Points)
  • Post an entry in the "Face Contest: Design Burning Kerberous ZERO-G Ver.!" (2 Points)
  • Find the fact on worldbeyblade.org: "What was the precursor to the World Beyblade Organization?" (1 Point)
  • Find the fact on worldbeyblade.org: "What was our first ever official tournament?" (1 Point)
  • Upload a video to Youtube discussing what you like the most about the World Beyblade Organization (2 Points)
  • NEW!! Find the fact on worldbeyblade.org: "What were the original names for Sagittario and Leone?" (1 Point)
  • NEW!! Find the fact on worldbeyblade.org: "Who are all the Members who were shown wearing a WBO T-shirt on this site?" (2 points)
  • NEW!! Find the fact on worldbeyblade.org: "What are the usernames of all WBO Committee and Global Moderators, past and present, excluding those who have the Face of Soul?" [12 usernames] (2 Points)


The first hidden Face this week is Sagittario! [Image: sagittarioface.png] This is a big big site, where could it be?! Stay tuned to this thread each week for which Face needs to be found! And if you end up being the first person to find it, be sure to post about it here in this thread as quickly as you can! That way, everyone will know when it was found.

Update: Sagittario has been found!

Whenever you have completed a goal, please PM Kai-V and she will confirm that you have completed it. She will also periodically update the leaderboard that will be added to this thread soon!

And please be aware that posting answers to any of the fact-based questions anywhere on the WBO is prohibited. If anybody does, we may be forced to warn and disqualify you from the competition.


Scavenger Hunt Prizes
As mentioned, whoever gets the highest number of points will win, but the prize is awesome! Mtwo, whose recolours you might have seen lately, has generously agreed to make us exclusive Pegasis customs with the colours of the WBO! These will include Big Bang Pegasis for the Member with the most points, Galaxy Pegasis for the second place, and Storm Pegasis for the third place. The top three winners will be the only ones in the whole world to have these recolours! Mtwo should be posting sneak peaks of the recolours as they reach completion just to make you all drool!


But this isn’t it, we wouldn’t stop there! All Bladers who will have gathered at least 4 points will automatically get the exclusive WBO Anniversary Face!! [Image: anniversaryface2012.png]

In addition to this, you can actually spend your Scavenger Hunt points on Face Boosters, including the brand new, limited edition, Face Booster VIVID [Image: faceboostervivid.png] !

[Image: wbbaldragoface.png] [Image: wbbacaesarface.png] [Image: corodragonface.png] [Image: poseidonface.png] [Image: samuraipegasiswboface.png]

Face Booster VIVID will come at a cost of 8 points.


These Face Boosters will cost 6 points each.
  • 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]

And these, 5 points each:
  • Face Booster CRIMSON [Image: faceboostercrimson.png]
  • Face Booster AZURE [Image: faceboosterazure.png]
  • Face Booster AMBER [Image: faceboosteramber.png]
  • Face Booster VIOLET [Image: faceboosterviolet.png]
  • Face Booster JADE [Image: faceboosterjade.png]

And here's a break down of how the recolours will be distributed, and what other physical prizes can be won through participating in the Scavenger Hunt:
  • 1st Place: Big Bang Pegasis F:D WBO Ver. + BBG-26 Starter Samurai Pegasis W105R²F + Face Booster VIVID
  • 2nd Place: Galaxy Pegasis W105R²F WBO Ver. + BBG-26 Starter Samurai Pegasis W105R²F + Face Booster VIVID
  • 3rd Place: Storm Pegasis 105RF WBO Ver. + BBG-26 Starter Samurai Pegasis W105R²F + Face Booster VIVID
  • 4th-8th Place: BBG-26 Starter Samurai Pegasis W105R²F
  • 9th-15th Place: ZERO-G Booster of your choice
  • 16th-20th Place: BBG-23 Zero-G Random Booster Vol. 3 Bandid Genbull F230TB

As was mentioned earlier, the Scavenger Hunt is a month-long promotion. The WBO Anniversary is on December 4th, but this game will last until January 4th 2013, so you have a whole month to rack up as many points as you can! This is also when Face Boosters will officially become available in exchange for the points you have accumulated.




No Entry Fee: Dec 16-24
To notably help with that goal of hosting or participating in a tournament, we’ve come to you with an awesome limited deal : from December 16th to December 24th 2012, the entry fees will be lifted!!

In other words, all WBO tournaments in that period will be entirely free, so don’t miss out on this opportunity!




Anniversary Celebration Videos
As you may have noticed in the list of goals above, we’d also like to invite you to film a video of yourself, masked or not depending on your preference, because we want to hear what you like the most about the World Beyblade Organization.

We’ll tag all those videos along to a video we will upload to BeyChannel soon to advertise these Anniversary celebrations!



Face Contest
What are festivities without a Face Contest?

To honour the WBO’s Beywiki, you can immediately go participate in the Face Contest : Design a Zero-G Burning Kerberous Beyblade!

The winner will actually win a Burning Kerberous, as well as the Zero-G Beyblade of their choice! Woo!



Blader Rewards: 3rd Wave

[Image: BladerRewardsHeader.png]

On December 18th 2012, we’ll be launching the 3rd wave of Blader Rewards, after such a high demand! Included in the rewards is the brand new Face Booster JET [Image: faceboosterjet.png]

[Image: eonisface.png] [Image: rexface.png] [Image: orsoface.png] [Image: susanowface.png] [Image: ldragoarmoredface.png]

Check out the rest of the awesome rewards here that are just about to be released!

However, to ensure that all the top prizes are not gone as soon as we release the new wave and to set everyone with a fair start, we’ll be reducing everyone’s Credits to 7 for Bladers who have more Credits than that at the moment, like we did with the advent of the 2nd wave.

Since tournaments have not started being processed yet, we have recently been distributing all Faces and Credits won at all events hosted before September 19th 2012. This will be the cut-off mark, so all tournaments organised after that will not count in the reduction mentioned above. After December 18th, we will give the Credits and Faces for those later events and you won’t lose them at all.


So, hurry up and spend your few additional Credits in the Face Boosters you prefer!




New Faces
Ohoh, here come brand new Faces!

[Image: mf2face.png] The MF2 Face will be given to WBO Organizers who have hosted at least ten successful tournaments! They truly deserve the 0.6-gram surplus!

[Image: platinumgoldface.png] The Rose Platinum Face is taking the collectioners' dream to the next level: instead of fifty Beyblades, you must collect at least 150 Beyblades to get this Face!

[Image: alexandriteface.png] Oh, an old Face that finally gets a meaning! Bladers who will have spent a lot of time testing Beyblade combos, as well as those who do the effort of testing the latest-released parts as soon as possible for the community will be eligible for the Alexandrite Face!




WBO USB Key
Finally, dimsum2u, our Authorized Beyblade Dealer, has built an amazing WBO souvenir: the WBO USB key!

[Image: wbousb01.jpg] [Image: wbousb02.jpg]

They come in three different capacities, and they're quite cheap! This USB key is ideal to save all your Beyblade content, your tournament-organising software, and many more things!

On top of that, a percentage of all sales goes to the World Beyblade Organization as a generous donation from dimsum2u. Don't waste your time, it's a limited and exclusive offer that you won't find anywhere else! Stop using that ugly, common USB key; yuck.






This is a celebration for all of us, so we hope you enjoy everything and have a wonderful day, or even a whole month if you participate in the Face Contest and the Scavenger Hunt! We're all winners here whatever happens, so let's give a wide round of applause!

Happy WBO Anniversary!

  75,000 Members Celebration BeyLotto = Results!!
Posted by: Kai-V - Nov 05 2012 01:57 AM - Replies (138)

The moment you have all been waiting for has come!


Oddly, out of more than five hundred people who visit this site everyday, only 364 have entered the giveaway. Oh well! "Too bad" for you, and "Alright!" to everyone who did enter because it gave them more chance!


First, here's a recap of the prizes:


34 winners are going to be able to choose one of these Face Boosters!

    -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]
    -Face Booster CRIMSON [Image: faceboostercrimson.png]
    -Face Booster AZURE [Image: faceboosterazure.png]


On top of that, 4 of these 34 winners will be in the top four for these prizes:


1st: Wide Square Type BeyStadium + Dark Knight Dragooon LW160BSF Limited Golden Dragon Model + Triple Battle Set + BBG-13 Synchrom Battle Set

2nd: Triple Battle Set + Berserker Begirados SR200BWD + Zero-G Stadium Attack Type + BBG-13 Synchrom Battle Set

3rd: Triple Battle Set + blue VariAres D:D + Jade Jupiter S130RB

4th: Phantom Orion B:D + Lightning L Drago 100HF Kyokuryuu Ver. + Beylauncher Cosmo Blue


The Triple Battle Sets are kindly donated by Hasbro!!



So, thirty-four winners, but four of those thirty-four are TOP winners!




But now, to make you linger even more, let's explain where the 3s and the 4s were in the prizes which made us choose those items. Some of you had great ideas, even more reasonings than we had originally, but in the end, there were still some reasons missing!


The Wide Square Type BeyStadium: BB-33, and it is four-sided.

Dark Knight Dragooon: Three Os, three words, three heads.

Triple Battle Set: "triple", three products inside this Set, and we were donated three by Hasbro USA.

Synchrom Battle Set: 1+3=4.

Berserker Begirados: Ber-ser-ker (3 syllables), Be-gi-ra-dos (4 syllables).

Zero-G Stadium Attack Type: three exits.

VariAres D:D: Has 3x4 modes, D:D has three tips, VariAres has three sides, and the name has four syllables (Va-ri-A-res).

Jade Jupiter S130RB: Jade has four metal balls, 1+3=4.

Phantom Orion: arguable, but it could be said that it has four syllables (Phan-tom O-rion). It also only has four parts including the Face.

Lightning L Drago: three heads, L-Dra-go, Kyo-ku-ryuu.

BeyLauncher Cosmo Blue: Bey-laun-cher, cos-mo blue.


We admit, some were superfluous, but we forced them in for the benefit of the community, so that you would have more awesome prizes!




Finally, it's time! The thirty winners of a Face Booster are:
