Ladies and gentlebladers, entertwine your Blader Spirits on this special day of the Valentines : we love you, and we want to show it to you!
Plus, it’s a special month with one extra day…
Here’s the summary of this announcement:
The Indonesian forum now lives!
Special Leap Year Celebrations!
Upcoming Refill of Blader Rewards!
Our Indonesian userbase has really flourished since the last BeyDays, and they’ve proved that they really deserve to get their own forum where they can speak in a language that is all common to them. Congratulations to you all! If you continue being so active, perhaps we can foresee a very interesting future resembling the Italian forum for you!!
Here’s a message in Indonesian:
Halo beybladers Indonesia! Selamat datang di forum WBO Indonesia. Silahkan dimanfaatkan untuk membahas segala sesuatu yang berhubungan dengan beyblade dan harap mengikuti peraturan-peraturan WBO.
… as well as a banner …
… made by your very own Uwik, who is not only a forum moderator for the Indonesian forum like his comrade wpardin, but who automatically got promoted to Global Moderator too! Congrats!
If you have any issues regarding the Indonesian forum, do not hesitate to contact wpardin, Uwik, or any of the Committee Members!
Love and frenzy are in the air! Let’s see what’s so special about this month:
- Valentine’s Day
- This February has one extra day
- We’ve gotten a whole lot of new information on Beyblade Zero-G and BeyWheelz
- But… most importantly…
There is an unbelievably high number of tournaments for this month which is so cold and so short!
If we compare the number of tournaments in February for the United States to our history of tournaments, such a feat has only ever been done before during the Summer Spin Showdown events in collaboration with Toywiz! And considering that most of this month’s tournaments are probably going to work, this is an awesome record!!
To support this super activity, we’ve decided to open some special LEAP YEAR CELEBRATIONS for the month of February!
All competitors in February events will get one extra Credit for participating, so that means that you get at least two Credits just for playing in one of the tournaments!
There will be a special BeyLotto that all the players of February tournaments will be able to enter, and the prize is a very special Bey: Wing Pegasis S130RB Memorial Model!! The top winner will also get to choose a Face Booster, and ten additional winners will receive two Face Boosters.
But wait!
We’re also going to include two brand new Face Boosters in the selection to give you a small sneak peak of the things with which we’ll refill the Blader Rewards!
No more on this topic though, we want to leave you some uncertainties so that you can speculate crazily in your mind. Stay close for our next update!
Now that was a lot of news. But guess what? We have a lot more coming up! We all hope you enjoy these celebrations and the Indonesian forum! We love you all!

That’s right, the World Beyblade Organization is finally officially on Facebook!
(Click the above picture to access the Facebook Page!)
What’s in it if you’re already a Member here? Not that much since we still want to keep the discussions on here, but we’ll do our best to synchronise our announcements here with the announcements done on our Facebook Page. It’s a known fact that most kids, teenagers, and even adults spend a lot of time on Facebook, so that way you’ll be able to get updates from the WBO directly on Facebook, so you’ll know to head over here as soon as possible in order to observe the changes properly and talk about them.
Hopefully this way we’ll be able to reach out to more Bladers and the tournaments will be even more populated and fun! Who knows, perhaps other regions will start getting activity too!
We won't beg for your votes or anything, but if you like the idea, the World Beyblade Organization, the Page, then Like us on Facebook!
Additionally, we have also done some moderate changes to the Rulebooks.
Two modifications that are only for the Universal Rules :
the Salamalyon and Gryffolyon Attack Rings are now legal;
putting Uriel 2’s rubber tip inside Wolborg 2’s Right Spin Gear (Bearing Version 2) is now legal.
The last change was really common sense in our opinion, but it’s better not to take any chances because apparently such incidents have happened in the past :
if accidents take place that disturb the launch of a Blader, such as another player accidentally bumping into them while walking by, then the round is simply restarted without any penalty to either of the battling players.
That's it for now, but you can bet that part of our mysterious conversations where we let nobody know what we're on about is booked with news for the upcoming month, so stay close, and let your BeySpirit shine during this time of cold!
If you're a Passport Holder, please post once in this thread to be entered in the January 2012 giveaway for a brand new BB-124 Kreis Cygnus 145WD! Bladers who post in this thread and do not possess a Blader Passport will have their posts immediately deleted.
To make the deal even sweeter, we will also throw in a free Face Booster for the winner!
-Face Booster RED
-Face Booster BLUE
-Face Booster GREEN
-Face Booster ORANGE
-Face Booster YELLOW
-Face Booster PURPLE
This contest will run for just seven days until January 31st, 2012, 11:59:59PM EST. Any Passport Holders who post after that date/time will not be entered. The winner will be announced shortly after the date has passed and will have their prize shipped to them free of charge!

These are the first few known releases for the new Beyblade series, Beyblade Zero G. It is still unknown whether Zero G will replace Metal Fight Beyblade, where BB- items are discontinued.

But there is still no other news about this confirmed season 4.
Make sure to check out the thread on the upcoming Beyblade Zero G series though, as it may or may not be related to the fourth season of Metal Fight Beyblade!

Hello again all World Beybladers!
This is actually a news that not even the other Committee Members know of at the moment, but it's really awesome and it came right with perfect timing!
You all remember that last Monday, we celebrated Brad Day, right? We took a moment to enjoy the existence of this organization, and we thanked Brad for all he did.
Well, on the same day, we actually got contacted by Elizabeth Blair from the National Public Radio for an interview! Unfortunately, and she had warned me, she did not have enough time given for her story to mention the World Beyblade Organization in the end, but she did actually place our video of the Sliding Shoot Lesson on the matching article for the radio story online! Brad's very own creation, Beyblade Channel's very first lesson video gets featured in such a big radio's story, what a feat!
If you want to read the article and listen to her recording, you can go right here:
You can also read that the United States champion for 2011, Zakiah Garcia, apparently uses Big Bang Pegasis and it seems like he might have used it in the national championships, or at least that's what his speech and the article hint at. It could also just be his nickname for a combination with a Pegasis Clear Wheel, since 4D Beyblades are not supposed to be allowed at all...
In other, older news, this isn't the first time the World Beyblade Organization gets featured in the media: around the beginning of the year, Gulli Mag, a popular French magazine for kids, interviewed Kei (Scott) and I (Virginie) and published our answers in an exclusive Beyblade special issue!
The cover:
The pagespread where our interview appears:
A close-up:
Of course, the words are in French, so here's a translation, but remember that we answered the interviewer's questions almost a year ago, so our suggestions are really outclassed now!
Quote:Pros' tips and experiences
Scott (18 years old) and Virginie (19 years old) are part of the WBO, an organisation of Bladers in Canada. There, Virginie participated in a tournament. Scott, on his side, came in the top 3 in 6 tournaments and won 2 others. Your mag[azine] tells you their experiences and their tips to really get prepared for your upcoming battles...
In what state of mind do you need to be to begin your battles?
Scott: The most important thing is not to undersetimate your opponent. You can't go to your matches thinking that it'll be an easy win. In Beyblade battles, the fight begins even before you've attached your top to the launcher. Preparation is therefore a key element. And you must try to anticipate what top your opponent will use in order to counter it.
What combo would you suggest?
Scott: If you can master your shooting technique, MF Lightning L Drago 100RF is deadly!
Virginie: In a tournament, I've realised that few people succeed with Attack types. I would therefore mostly suggest to use a Defense type or a Stamina type. A Beyblade like Earth Bull 100WD/SD, for instance, should mutliply your chances of winning the battle.
And later in the magazine, the link to our website is repeated as well.
This isn't much news, one could say, but I think it's awesome to see how far this site has gotten from another point of view. Come on, let's try to reach the stars now!
We got an impressive 99 Passport Holders to participate in this giveaway, or 100 if you count me! As Brad was saying in the entry thread, thank you very much to all of you: the Blader Passport was introduced as a useful way to help save money for tournament participants, but its main goal was to help keep this site up, and the amount of Passport registrations I get every month is truly incredible. And people renew their Blader Passports once they've expired too, the good times are never over! Without you, we probably wouldn't be able to maintain this site so well, so thanks!
But out of 100, there can only be 3 top winners, and 10 secondary winners of a Face Booster with a chance to get the very special Brad Face!
And the ten secondary winners are...
Ga'Hooleone
Furydragoon
Hirosan
J o n
Poseidon
lol_lam3r
darkwocher
Dude
The Assassin
RustyXD
Congratulations! You get to choose one of the following Face Boosters, and cross your fingers to receive a Brad Face!
Face Booster RED
Face Booster BLUE
Face Booster GREEN
Face Booster ORANGE
Face Booster YELLOW
Face Booster PURPLE
And the luckiest Passport Holders are...

And Relic!
You three not only get one of the above Face Boosters too, but you will each receive a Beat Lynx TH170WD! Contact Kei to get it.
Long life to leopard print! Happy Brad Day once again!!
December 5th, right in between the World Beyblade Organization’s creation on December 4th and Brad’s birthday on December 6th :
For this year’s Brad Day, we’ve decided to go for a theme : Brad for Prime Minister!
Every year, Brad becomes less active and less people know him, but for sure we can’t let anyone forget everything he did. He essentially single-handedly made the Beyblade community survive for almost a whole decade and contributed in making it the beast it is right now; he’s truly an innovator. To learn more about everything Brad did for the Beyblade community, you should read this topic.
To go with this edition’s theme, we’ve changed the banner and buttons slightly to include some hints of political icons, notably the things you write on your voting bulletin, as well as the traditional leopard print of course! There is some leather in the announcement banner too.
Brad would be an awesome Prime Minister since he notably keeps his promises, and he strives like a hungry tiger to nurture his passions! So now that we have no problem believing that his reign as a PM would be complete, what’s the most crucial part in being a Prime Minister? The electoral campaign, of course!
Who are the best people to testify for him in his campaign, to tell the world about how great a man he is? How about those who’ve known him for more than half a decade, who saw him grow as an individual as well as his projects?
We’d sincerely like to thank some of the best veterans of the Beyblade community for coming together to deliver a truly powerful message :
You want to continue this movement? You’re not an adult yet and can’t vote? Who cares! Just like how Brad has always been advocating the absence of any age limit in Beyblade, anybody can participate. Record yourself talking about Brad and what he has built, upload it on YouTube, and add it as a video response to Beyblade Channel’s, presented above.
Is that all? No, you know we have other tricks up our sleeves!
Of course, the traditional Brad Day Passport Holders Giveaway is back. This edition’s prize is three Beat Lynx TH170WD, for three different winners!
Not one, but two Face Contests are getting started :
For each of those, you can win another Beat Lynx, so it’s up to you to choose to enter one, the other, or both! It’s an election, come on! To move on with this theme, if he’s up to it, we’ll have Brad directly choose the winner in each Face Contest based on his preference.
Finally, as some of you might have noticed, Hazel and Arupaeo are now Committee Members! Welcome to the Committee, guys!
Were you touched by the compilation of testimonials in the video? You’re thrilled about participating in all the festivities and adding your own video to the testimonials? What are you waiting for?
Today’s the day to claim your vote for Brad loud and clear, enjoy!
