If you're down for it, we could have a $10 money match.
Do you want to do a best 2 out of 3 or best 3 out of 5?

*Like*I will only pay for half of Zigsta's travel expenses for he is the most worthy Bowser.
He could probably pay venue fee by himself these days though, what a boss.

B-B-B-BLAMM!!!
Zigsta should totally go to this.

You'll be loaded after Apex man. Just don't blow through that $4000 dollars too fast and you should be able to come to this no problem.
Also you should pick up PSAS, it would be cool if someone good just broke that metagame so we can all be done with it.

Wow, I'm really late to the party looking at all these posts. Most of them really made me laugh. I regrettably won't be entering any tournament since I'll be busy running Brawl. I hope you guys can make it.

Btw what all is legal and stuff in PSAS? Like what is banned? Do we stage strike/ban/CP stages like in Smash?

PSAS will be played as Doubles Only (should be in the OP) and the rules are in the OP. Players do get counter picks and stage bans. No attacks, characters, or stages are banned.

so for the most part this is a local tournament. as far as i know, its only some la players, + a few Alabama and Mississippi players. and by a few i mean a very small number. when you're having such a small tournament, having a fee of $25 to enter tournaments for only 1 game is very discouraging. i know you guys feel like having these venue fees means you can improve the community in some way, but having everyone discouraged from entering wont do anything for the community at all. after hosting and attending so many tournaments that dont charge venue fees unless the venue actually requires it, i just hope you soon realize the mistake in your logic. you guys arent pulling **** for turnouts. we just got back from a Houston tournament with no venue fee that pulled 48 entrants. it was asked for the community to supply setups and we must have had AT LEAST 15. there really is no excuse for a venue fee if the venue itself isnt charging for its use. all it does is make people not want to attend. and then it's $10, not even $5
Thing is, they're trying to pull an out-of-state crowd for many other games.
That said, I agree with you. It's significantly easier to ask the community to help with set-ups than to buy a bunch yourself.
EDIT: Unfortunately, I couldn't get my tournament venue on the 26th, so I'm not going to be able to go to this event anymore.
Thing is, we've asked countless times for the community to bring set-ups, but we've gone ignored. Only one or two people actually bring set-ups so if anything, that's not our fault. Also, we are cutting the venue fee in half if people bring full set-ups. So all people have to do is bring full set-ups.
This isn't just some local tournament. This is supposed to be one of the biggest tournaments this state has to offer. Who comes and who doesn't, we have only so much control over. It's just the same as APEX. It's a big tournament, it's pretty expensive itself to go to. That discourages people like me from going, but do you see me saying the people who run APEX are doing bad for the community? No. For big tournaments like this which are made to be a regional sized, it's expected to be a little pricey.
Ever since day one I've always been a proponent of this: If you don't like what's at the tournament, simply don't come, but don't come and try to kill the hype.
I thank you for your input.
I don't know what you've done to get people to want to bring set-ups, but, stressing the point that the tournament's success and everyone's enjoyment depends on how many people bring set-ups. Bringing TVs can be a bit of a hassle for people, but bringing a Wii/Brawl set-up is not, and explaining how important it is for people to bring them does a lot, in my experience.
It's worth noting that there's no reason to host a regional-worthy event if locals aren't interested in coming. It won't appeal to out-of-state players if the locals have little interest. You can't compare this to APEX, as APEX has a much larger, much more active local community, and it has set a brand that appeals to people from all over. There's no point in offering a tournament that can hold 50+ people if it doesn't seem likely that 50+ people will come. You have to appeal to your initial base before you can branch out.
We definitely have the ability to have more than 50 people. More like 100-200 people (attendance of previous conventions). The real trick is getting them to come and hoping Murphy doesn't show is ugly face preventing people from coming.
edit: sorry about double post.

Sure, but, you're hosting nine different tournaments. Saying you can get 100 people doesn't mean much if you only get 10-20 people for each event. (Not saying that it's been that way, but, it's something to consider.)
It's not about how many people you're capable of hosting an event for. It's about hosting events for people that want them. If people aren't even willing to bring their own Wii/Brawl stuff, then I would say they don't want an event in the first place. Either that, or you've spoiled them, and they need to get off their butts and put in work for the community they're a part of.

^sent you a PM about that stuff. Not sure if you've read it yet. And yes, we've considered everything you said.
We've prepared as best we can for what we are expecting. It's now up to the players plan accordingly and show up.
Even if this convention doesn't go according to plan as far as attendance, that's perfectly fine with me. We are only human, not psychic, so we will adjust accordingly for the next convention.

I noticed that too, I sent a text to Erick to put that on the OP. I think what happened was when we made the thread and the facebook event, some stuff was left out while we were copy/pasting stuff. It'll be up there. I'll make sure of it.
Edit: I found it. It was in the facebook group.

so is it really going to be $25 to enter? i know i'm bringing at least 2 setups with me (wii and gamecube).
It's a $10 venue fee (without a setup), $10 for Brawl Singles, and $5 per person for Brawl Teams.

Oh, well then in that case anyone wanna team with me? I play Ratchet if that means anything for anyone and I'm not terrible. Well I mean I can beat CPUs on the hardest level at least.PSAS will be played as Doubles Only (should be in the OP) and the rules are in the OP. Players do get counter picks and stage bans.

Really excited to get some good melee in with area people, and see how much better I've gotten from 2 years ago when last I played some of you. Just letting you all know right now, that Mario Kart Wii tournament is mine. My W-L online was ~3000-50
Correct. This time around we are giving 50% off for full set-ups. You can also cosplay, but cosplaying as yourself won't cut it. If you cosplay, surprise me bro.
