Since when is it OK to advertise for tourneys that aren't WABA tourneys in the official WABA thread?
Mike G, can I get an answer on this?

- To be honest, if you ARE saving money for important stuff like that, then it's not necessarily the case that you should NEVER go spend money on eating out or video games, but if losing extra cash because of a minor price increase on those things is going to be a big loss, then you shouldn't be mad about it because IT'S NOT IMPORTANT as college or getting a house.
- The price is not doubling. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt since the whole Brawl monthly to Combo Breaker transition was confusing for us all, but let me make it clear:
The Brawl Monthly is $5. Combo Breaker is $10. It should be assumed that because the Brawl monthly is not being moved to Combo Breaker's date, but actually ADDED to the event itself, that you pay the same amount as if you were going to Combo Breaker which, once again, is $10.
- I don't see where the entry fee tripled.
I also wasn't lecturing on why businesses raise their prices. I was simply countering a statement of yours in which I disagreed with:
To which I'll reiterate - The people who want you to pay aren't the ones winning the money, it's the people who are trying to run a business. More people = more money is a side incentive for better players to want to try and take that money, but considering Waba and any other tournaments with good turnouts are full of people that mainly want to compete and have fun, the "more people" part is guaranteed to happen without pushing for poorer people to join in. Hell, in my case, I'd just push for people to play so we can have a decent community. I'm always trying to influence people to go to in-state tournaments because it's more fun when more people are there, and I'm not good enough to make a dime at these tournaments.
In any case, Waba would have the upper hand in this case of marketing. There aren't too many large tournaments going around in GA on this date, at least not for Brawl. If you're really itching to go to a Brawl tournament in the near future, Waba would be your best bet, in which case you'd be obliged to pay the necessary door fee.
But at least you get one thing that half these people don't...
BRING A **** SETUP SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY AS MUCH!!!
Please?
Good thing it's a smashfest the day before, and Albino even said "fest at RJ's"

If there is a Brawl+ side tournament, I highly doubt doubles would even happen, much to my dismay.

I don't see why, when you call a specific saturday a combo breaker, you can justify doubling the door fee. And when the door fee was advertised as tripled, that tripled what the door fee has been for weeklies and monthlies since I've been playing melee.
The players who win are getting more money if they convince the poor scrubs who add to the pot to stay. I know the extra door fee isn't going to their pockets. You can say money is just an incentive all you want, it is a big reason to win. W/e.
And I couldn't care less about brawl.

Because it's initially a day where door fee is $10 anyway. The only time the door fee is $5 is on a Smash monthly. This weekend is not a Smash-exclusive monthly. It's Combo Breaker.
If you want, you can also think of it this way:
Combo Breaker includes several fighting games, which means Waba will be stretching its resources across all of those games to run the tournament. The lesser number of setups there are, the slower the tournament runs. That means people need to bring setups to help out. Because people are lazy, an incentive may be needed to further this cause. An incentive would be to waive/reduce door fees if they bring full setups to be used. With a low door fee, people don't really mind not bringing a set up, since it's cheap. If you were to raise the door fee, however, people are more inclined to bring setups so they don't have to pay as much.
Even if it weren't the case, and people are bringing setups to waive a low door fee, it's then a matter of how much money is not being made. Of all the people that aren't getting their fee waived, they're only getting $5 from each of them. To make up the difference of what could be made, you raise the door fee.
How often do you really see players pressuring other players to stay in brackets just so they can get money? Money is an obvious reason to do well in tournament, but unless the pot is going to be relatively low, no one's going to try and pressure players to join just for the sake of getting 10 more dollars into the pot.

I probably wouldn't enter a low tier tournament this monthly since it's already $10 more to get in and if i go then me and p3 will have to split our set up 50:50 and pay half of $15

I think it should be <=E, but we can include Ike for Rayku.
Hmmm.... Maybe we should include D, E, F, and the very bottom of C.

Your mom is flexible.
The smashfest at Waba hasn't even been made public yet, only word of mouth has made that known.
I intend to just bring my setup for Friday so I can get it there for Saturday to waive my door fee. I think Lounis and I are going to RJ's, but it's up to him.
