Organizer's Guide

This is the WBO's handbook for volunteer event organizers rather than a gameplay rulebook: it walks a would-be organizer through applying for the role, choosing between Open League and Ranked League play, sizing and posting an event, running brackets on Challonge and the WBO Leagues site, and closing an event out with results and Winning Combos. It also carries reference material an organizer needs on the day: bracket-size tables for the First Stage, per-generation stadium name and product-code charts, event-requirement tables by league tier, and the small Club System format for events too small to qualify for Open or Ranked status. It applies across every WBO-supported Beyblade generation rather than one specific ruleset.

Match types

Type	How it works	First to
Round Robin	Every entrant in a group battles every other entrant; used as a First Stage structure and as a Club System option where the blader with the most wins takes first, settled by a tiebreak match if tied.	—
Swiss	A First Stage structure used once player counts exceed a Round Robin's practical size, run over a fixed number of rounds set by the bracket-size chart (4 to 7 rounds depending on the field).	—
Single Elimination	A knockout structure; required for a Ranked League Final Stage to qualify the event for leaderboard submission, and used as the sole structure once a First Stage field passes 129 players.	—
Double Elimination	A knockout structure with a losers' bracket, used as the First Stage structure for fields of 33 to 128 players per the bracket-size chart.	—
Open League Club System	A no-finals structure for the smallest fields (4 to 8 Beyblade X players, 4 to 7 Legacy players); standings are decided directly, with a tiebreak match only for first place.	—
King of the Hill	A Club System option: two bladers battle at a single stadium under a judge, the winner stays to face the next challenger, and wins are tallied until a timer set by the organizer runs out.	—

Equipment checks

Beyblades and parts

Custom stadiums outside the named list may be used if reviewed and approved by Event Review as safe and non-hazardous.
Repairs to a hairline-cracked stadium are allowed only underneath the play surface, taped so the surface stays smooth and uninterrupted.
A stadium that has fully broken parts, tape covering the play surface, pieces that have come loose, or tape holding the stadium together structurally is unusable at an event.
Deviating from the default bracket structures (for example running a double-elimination final stage where it is not the default) is only permitted for an Open League event.
Optional Rules are copied verbatim as BBCode from the WBO's Resource Page into the event description so participants see them stated clearly.

Bans, limits and conditions

Step by step

Study the WBO's league structures, generation-specific Format rulebooks, Battle Types, and Optional Rules before proposing an event.
Apply for the Organizer role through the on-site application (multiple-choice plus long-form) and wait roughly 2 to 3 weeks for a decision.
Once approved, link a Challonge username in the designated thread to be added as a Collaborator on the WBO Challonge community.
Plan the event: pick a publicly accessible venue, a date 2 weeks to 2 months out, a participant cap, any admission fee, and enough stadiums for the expected field.
Post the event on worldbeyblade.org with basic details, Optional Rules in effect, equipment on hand, and staff/judges attending; review can take up to 72 hours.
Build the bracket on the WBO Leagues site (which drives Challonge) or, for Open League without Challonge, state the matchmaking method used instead.
Run the event: confirm arrivals, seat late or dropped participants per the day-of guidance, and enforce rules, escalating serious violations to disqualification and an Incident Report.
Handle any extenuating circumstances or cancellations by updating the event page and notifying registered users and the Event Review Team promptly.
After the event, collect and post the Winning Combinations for the required placements and link the Challonge bracket, both within 14 days of the event date.
Submit the event through WBO Leagues to the chosen leaderboard(s) for ranking, selecting the correct Point Table where applicable before submitting.

Penalties

A player who intentionally cheats, spies, fixes a match, breaks gameplay rules for advantage, or harasses another player is disqualified and reported on an Incident Report Form.
Adding unapproved rules to a Ranked or Masters event after approval can result in a Warning percentage.
Missing the 14-day window to post Winning Combos or link the Challonge bracket gets the event de-ranked, with a possible Warning percentage for lateness.
Cancelling an event without adequate notice or a valid, communicated reason can result in a Warning for the Organizer.
Manually tampering with a bracket, or including non-WBO, banned, or mistyped-username players, makes the event ineligible for Ranked status.
An Organizer who posts no event within 1 year of approval may have their Organizer status reconsidered by the Organized Play team.

Words the rulebook uses

Organizer: A volunteer, independent of the WBO itself, who schedules and runs a Beyblade event in their local community under WBO rules.
Judge: A person overseeing matches for rule enforcement; a WBO-certified Judge must be present and active at Ranked League Beyblade X events.
Head Judge: The lead judge for an event, required for Ranked League Beyblade X events and named in the event proposal; the Organizer may fill this role if certified.
Format: The generation-specific rulebook (Beyblade X, Burst, Metal Fight, ZeroG, Bakuten Shoot, etc.) governing gameplay details.
Battle Type: The method of play used for matches in a stage of a tournament; First and Final Stage may each use a different one.
Match Type: A gameplay setting for how an individual match is scored or structured within the chosen Format.
Optional Rule: A WBO-published modifier to a Format's Standard ruleset that an Organizer can opt into and must post verbatim in the event description.
Open League: A more flexible tournament tier for experimentation and custom rules, not counted toward WBO leaderboards in the same rigid way as Ranked League.
Ranked League: The competitive tier that feeds WBO leaderboards (Elo for Beyblade X, BeyRank for Legacy formats), requiring stricter adherence to WBO format guidelines.
Masters League: A tournament tier referenced in the requirement tables as 'coming soon' for Beyblade X at the time of capture.
Club System: The WBO's default small-event format for fields too small to meet Open or Ranked League minimums.
Winning Combos: The Beyblade part combinations used by top-finishing players, which Organizers must collect and post after an event.
Season: The recurring period over which Beyblade X Ranked League matches are tracked on the WBO's rankings.
Elo: A skill-rating system borrowed from chess, offered as one of WBO Leagues' Skill Rating options and used for Beyblade X Ranked League scoring.
Glicko: Specifically Glicko 2; the WBO's recommended Skill Rating system for leaderboard accuracy.
BeyRank: The ranking score used for Legacy-format Ranked League leaderboards.
Point Ranking System: A leaderboard scoring approach (Match Win, Placement Points, or Master Points) using configurable Point Tables instead of a Skill Rating.
Best Finish Limit: A leaderboard setting that counts only a player's top N results toward their point total.
Kicker limit: A Placement Points or Master Points setting withholding placement-based points unless an event reaches a minimum player count.
Tournament Queue: An optional leaderboard setting that holds submitted events for manual accept/reject instead of processing them automatically.

Section by section, in our words

The document's outline

What is the World Beyblade Organization?

The WBO is described as a fan-run, volunteer project that has organized Beyblade events for players of any age around the globe going back to 2008.
It provides leaderboards, forums, and organizer resources to make hosting Beyblade tournaments easier.
It depends on volunteer, independent Event Organizers to run tournaments in their own local communities.
The document frames becoming an Organizer as an invitation for fans who want to grow local play and mentor new players.

Organizer's Code Of Conduct

Organizers are explicitly independent users, not staff, directors, or volunteers of the WBO or Fighting Spirits Inc.
Their responsibilities span scheduling and promoting events, communicating details to bladers and parents, and securing a public venue and equipment.
They are expected to enforce WBO tournament rules, deal with cheating or disruptive bladers, and lead their Judges and fellow Organizers.
They must accurately track match progress, handle and report rule violations, and submit correct results and post-event information.
Above these duties, the guide asks Organizers to model good sportsmanship, honesty, and a welcoming atmosphere.

WBO League Play

Open League favors experimentation and creativity over head-to-head ranking, does not require a certified Judge, and has served as a proving ground for future formats and rule changes.
The Organized Play or Event Review teams can request more detail on, or deny for any reason, an Open League proposal.
Ranked League is where players earn Elo (Beyblade X) or BeyRank (Legacy) standing on WBO leaderboards and is meant to be more rigid and closely aligned to WBO format guidelines.
Only WBO-outlined Optional Rules may modify a Ranked League event, unlike Open League's wider latitude.
A Ranked League Beyblade X event must name and have present a WBO-certified Judge, who may be the Organizer if certified, and every such match is recorded to that Format's Season rankings.

Format Rulebooks, Battle Types, and Optional Rules

Each Beyblade generation gets its own WBO rulebook ('Format') because mechanics and equipment differ across generations.
Battle Types set the method of play for a stage of a tournament, and the First Stage and Final Stage can each use a different Battle Type.
Optional Rules let an Organizer shift game balance or revive past experimental rules without altering the Format's Standard ruleset.
An Organizer using an Optional Rule must paste the WBO's own BBCode for it into the event description so all entrants see the same wording.

Tournament Structures

A tournament runs in two parts: a First Stage whose structure scales with the field size, and a stricter Final Stage that narrows the field.
Ranked League events must build their brackets on the WBO Leagues site, which sets up the structure automatically from the player count.
A Single Elimination Final Stage is a requirement for Ranked League leaderboard eligibility.
For Beyblade X, First Stage structure scales from an 8-player Club System cutoff, through 2-group Round Robin at 9-16 players and Swiss brackets of 4 to 7 rounds up to 128 players, to Single Elimination alone above 128.
The Legacy chart mirrors this but sets the Club System cutoff at 6 players and a single Round Robin group at 7-8 players before the same Swiss and elimination tiers apply from 9 players up.
Deviating from either default chart (for example choosing a double-elimination Final Stage where it isn't standard) requires the event to be run as Open League.

Become an Organizer!

Prospective Organizers complete an on-site application combining a multiple-choice knowledge check on WBO rules and a long-form written section.
Detailed, thorough answers are encouraged, and applicants should expect a decision by email in roughly 2 to 3 weeks.
Once granted the Organizer role, the applicant posts their Challonge username in a linked thread to be added as a Collaborator, and should accept the Challonge invite promptly.

Dates, Location & Venue: When and Where Can You Run An Event?

Proposals should go up at least 2 weeks before the event date and, absent a special reason like a major regional, no more than 2 months ahead.
An Organizer may run any number of active event proposals at once.
Venues must be publicly accessible, not private property; parks, game stores, libraries, and community centers are all cited as acceptable as long as permission is secured.
Because Beyblade play is loud, organizers are asked to be considerate of others sharing the space.
Each event needs a unique name, and approved events shouldn't be changed drastically; major changes require cancelling or getting Event Review sign-off.

Participant Cap: How Many Bladers Can I Include?

A first-time Organizer running solo is capped at 24 participants; this can be waived if a more experienced Organizer who has run an event of that size or larger is co-hosting.
An Organizer must successfully run at least one event before being allowed to propose multiple concurrent events with a cap above 24.
Beyond the hard cap, Organizers are asked to size their cap around venue capacity, local laws, safety rules, and available staff and space for players, spectators, and equipment.

Prolonged Absences (1 Year)

An Organizer must post at least one event within a year of gaining the role, or Organized Play staff will follow up and may reconsider their Organizer status.
An Organizer who can show genuine efforts to build interest, or a valid reason for the gap, should flag that to the Organized Play staff.
Returning after more than a year requires disclosing the gap when proposing the next event, since the Organized Play team may confirm the Organizer's rules knowledge is current.
A returning Organizer's first event back is capped at 24 participants unless another active Organizer is assisting.

Admission/Venue Fees: Can You Charge For Your Event on WBO?

Yes: because Organizers are independent of the WBO and Fighting Spirits Inc., all event costs and materials are the Organizer's own responsibility, with no liability accepted by the WBO.
Organizers may charge a reasonable Admission Fee, shown on the event page, and must follow local and federal law on handling money.
The WBO states it has no control over, and cannot verify or enforce, how an Organizer collects or manages an Admission Fee.

Stadiums: How Many Should You Have Available?

Running an event requires at least one legal stadium for the chosen Format, with more stadiums and judges needed as the field grows.
The recommended count scales from 1-2 stadiums for 4-16 players up to 16+ stadiums for fields of 129 or more.
A stadium with only a hairline crack can be taped underneath if the repair leaves the play surface smooth; a stadium with broken pieces, tape on the play surface, loose parts, or tape as structural support cannot be used.
Stadiums should be kept clean and dry, and outdoor play should guard against dirt and damage with tarps or stands.
Extra free-play stadiums are recommended for larger events so waiting players have something to do between matches.

4. Post Your Event On worldbeyblade.org!

Organizers fill out the 'Schedule an Event' page, optionally starting from a supplied template edited on-site.
The event description must be pasted in Plain Text mode or its formatting will break.
Events scheduled within the next two weeks may need up to 72 hours for a review decision, and farther-out events are reviewed after those.
Required information includes basic event details (with a default 24-player cap for first-timers), any Optional Rules in effect, equipment available, and staff/judges attending, with at least 1 Certified Judge required for Ranked League Beyblade X.
Bladers under 18 need a parent or guardian who emails the WBO to confirm supervision and accept the liability outlined in the Organizer Agreement.
Organizers cannot post events on behalf of other members; an event must be one they personally run and manage.

5. Run Your Event On challonge.com!

A YouTube tutorial and a written 'Creating Brackets' guide cover using the WBO's custom Challonge templates as of 2026.
Open League Organizers unable to use Challonge must state their alternative bracket-management method in the event proposal.
A Ranked League event must be built from the WBO Challonge community's templates.
Every player, in either league tier, must have a WBO account in good standing; banned accounts and alt-account workarounds are not allowed.

6. How To Deal With Common Day-Of Event Issues

Late Participants: contact them through available channels, avoid delaying the event for others, drop true no-shows before it starts, and drop a contacted-but-absent player once their delayed match slot passes.
Dropped Participants: remove them via the Trash icon under Challonge's Participants tab, ideally before a Swiss round ends, and adjust the round count if the field drops below the chart's minimum.
Battle/Match Outcome Disputes: the Organizer decides whether footage review is used; the Head Judge (possibly the Organizer) reviews footage or otherwise helps the Judge decide, and replaying the battle is suggested when it's unclear.
Belligerent Participants: de-escalate by hearing both sides and moving people away from the play area, delegate operations to a judge if needed, and prioritize personal safety, even letting a disqualified player continue if that avoids a bigger conflict.
Rule Enforcement & Incident Reporting: minor accidental violations usually just need a correction and a warning to the player, while intentional cheating, sabotage, spying, match-fixing, or harassment call for disqualification and an Incident Report Form, with leniency for younger or newer players.
Extenuating Circumstances: update the event page, message all registered users with the change, and notify the Event Review Team; unapproved rule edits to Ranked/Masters events can draw a Warning percentage.
Cancelling events: cancel as early as possible, mark the event page '- EVENT CANCELLED,' notify all registered users and a staff/Event Review member, and use every available channel for last-minute cancellations; inadequate notice can draw a Warning.

7. After Your Event - Post-Event Duties

Post-event duties must be completed correctly before the next event proposal is approved.
Organizers collect Winning Combinations from the top 3 finishers (top 4 recommended before Finals) who battled in Group and Final stages; Club System events (4-8 Beyblade X or 4-7 Legacy players) only need the 1st-place combos.
Every event, Ranked or Open League, must submit Winning Combinations, including both tied 3rd-place finishers if no tiebreaker match was played.
Beyblade X combos are submitted through the Submitting Events flow; Legacy combos are posted in the corresponding Format thread, then linked in the event's edit page.
The Challonge bracket link (or, for non-Challonge Open League events, an explanation of the matchmaking method) must be added to the event page.
Both the Winning Combos post and the bracket link are due within 14 days of the event date, or the event is de-ranked and may draw a Warning percentage.
To avoid de-ranking: use the WBO Leagues bracket creator rather than adding players manually, keep all players/judges compliant, never let a mid-event dropout be replaced by a new player, only allow accounts in good standing, and never add a placeholder BYE participant.

Stadium Names and Product Code List

The guide asks Organizers to use exact WBO stadium names rather than casual terms like 'basic stadium,' since those can mean different things to different bladers.
Charts are broken out by generation family: X Formats; Burst Formats (BST, BGT, BSL, BSC); ZeroG Format (ZRG); Metal Fight Formats (MFB, MFL, M4D); and Bakuten Shoot Formats (PLA, HMS).
A stadium released under more than one product code is referenced by its first release code (the document gives the Xtreme Stadium/BX-10 as the example).
The source notes that stadiums ineligible for any Ranked play were flagged with a colored highlight in the original document; that color coding did not survive this plain-text capture, so individual Ranked-eligibility flags per stadium are not reproduced here.
Several stadiums (Shin TA Stadium, Beystadium Attack Type/BB-10, Summit/BB-00-SUMMIT, and the 'Ali-10' Stadium) recur across multiple generation charts rather than belonging to just one.

Event Requirement Tables

Beyblade X: a Masters League tier is marked 'coming soon'; Ranked and Open League both need a 9-blader minimum, while Club System covers 4-8 players.
Ranked League requires ranked/randomized seeding, WBO bracket structures, a required Challonge bracket, and Winning Combos from 1st-3rd; Open League allows any seeding and bracket structure, only recommends a Challonge bracket, and needs Winning Combos from 1st place only.
Legacy Formats (Bakuten Shoot, Metal Fight, Burst) use the same shape of table with an 8-blader Ranked/Open minimum and a 4-7 player Club System band.
Both tables note that custom stadiums are allowed within reason after Event Review, provided they are safe and non-hazardous.
If Metal Fight Beyblades are being played in a ZeroG or Cyclone stadium, the event has to go under the ZeroG Format listing; without one of those stadiums, it cannot go under that Format.

Creating Brackets

Organizers must join the WBO Discord server and follow #account-linking to manage brackets on WBO Leagues, and must separately be added as a Collaborator on the WBO Challonge community by giving staff their Challonge username.
Participants still join the event through the WBO site itself, not through their Challonge accounts.
From the event page's 'Start Tournament' button, Organizers confirm which registered bladers are actually present before generating the bracket.
Ranked League events are offered a First Stage bracket type automatically (falling back to Open League if the field drops below the Ranked minimum), while Open League events can freely set First and Final Stage types and tiebreakers.
Any post-creation settings change must be done by recreating the bracket through WBO Leagues, since safeguards block direct edits; confirming settings generates or updates a Challonge URL for the bracket.

Submitting Events

From the WBO Leagues sidebar, 'Submit Tournaments' lists events an Organizer can submit for rankings and Winning Combos, pre-filled from the bracket-creation step.
Organizers choose which leaderboards to submit to (limited to WBO ones they own or are an Editor/Contributor on) and pick the correct Point Table where a leaderboard uses one, since it cannot be changed afterward.
Open League submissions carry extra modifiers, and First/Final Stage settings auto-fill from the event page but should be corrected if they changed on the day.
For Beyblade X events, Organizers fill in Winning Combos for the top 3 players as accurately as possible; post-submission edits can adjust details but cannot add or remove whole Beys.
The system flags anything that needs fixing before the submission is accepted.

Creating Leaderboards

Leaderboard creation also requires joining the WBO Discord server and following #account-linking, at least while the feature is new.
A new leaderboard is named and given a League Type (Open, Ranked, or Masters, each accepting different event tiers) and a set of supported Tournament Formats — both locked once created.
Exactly one Skill Rating (Glicko 2, the recommended choice, or Elo) and/or Point Rating system is required and configurable, but the choice of systems is locked after creation.
Point Ratings come in Match Win, Placement Points, or Master Points styles, each supporting multiple Point Tables with an optional Best Finish Limit (counts only a player's top N results) and, for Placement/Master Points, a Kicker limit (an example ties 9th-16th place points to a 32+ player field).
A leaderboard can optionally restrict itself to a date range (editable later) and enable a Tournament Queue for manual accept/reject of submissions (also editable later); description and banner can be added or changed anytime.

Maintaining Leaderboards

The Edit button on a leaderboard's page lets an owner change its name, description, and banner, plus its Start and End Time range.
Maintainers can edit the leaderboard and submit events; Contributors can only submit events.
The Tournament Queue can be toggled on or off, but disabling it while tournaments are waiting inside neither accepts nor rejects them automatically, so they must be dealt with first.
The Submission Queue view shows pending tournaments with links to their event page and bracket, and the submitting Organizer is notified once a tournament is accepted or rejected.
Admin Controls include removing a tournament from the leaderboard entirely, which the guide flags as a destructive, irreversible action.

Club System Setup

Club System is the WBO's baseline recommendation for events too small for Open League or Ranked status: 4-8 players for X Formats, 4-7 for Legacy Formats.
King of the Hill: bladers line up at one judge-run stadium; the Organizer sets a timer; the first two present battle using the chosen Battle and Match Type; the winner stays to face each new challenger until the timer ends, with judges tallying wins per player to decide the winner.
Round Robin: the player list is pasted into a single-stage Challonge bracket from the WBO Challonge Templates, and everyone battles everyone else; the most wins takes it, with a tiebreak match if needed.
Alternative Methods: Organizers may use any fair alternative to decide a Club System winner through Beyblade battles, provided the event's proposed ruleset, Match Type, and Battle Type stay consistent throughout.
The 1st place finisher of a Club System event receives the Club Champion Bit Award on their profile, and only that winner's Winning Combinations need to be posted.

Notes on this digest

The source document's color-coded flags for stadiums ineligible for any Ranked play did not survive the plain-text export, so this file cannot say which specific stadiums in the product-code list carry that flag.
A Masters League tier for Beyblade X is marked 'COMING SOON' in the Event Requirement Tables and has no rules defined yet in this document.
Several linked resources referenced throughout the guide (the Rules & Resources Page, the Optional Rules BBCode, event/bracket templates, the Incident Report Form, and embedded screenshots/video tutorials) are not reproduced here since only the plain text was captured.
The Challonge bracket tutorial is described as accurate 'as of 2026,' implying the platform's interface or workflow may change over time.
Two bracket-size charts (Beyblade X and Legacy) are functionally the same shape but diverge at the low end (Beyblade X Club System runs 4-8 players and starts Round Robin at 9; Legacy Club System runs 4-6 with a separate 7-8 player single-group tier before Round Robin at 9), which this file preserves as written.
