I've joined a few Fighting Game Community groups on Facebook in the past month and I've advertised to the guys in there so I know a number of them know about it, specifically which area they are from, I don't know. There's a group for FGC in the region and one for LA only. Either way, I'm confident we will have a nice sized turnout for fighters.

Ill bet you good money that both of those numbers are wrong.
It's hard to say really. Our community is pretty small as it is, or at least from my point of view based on who shows up to my monthly events. Last event we had 15+ show I think? So as a conservative/ underestimating guess: 20+ people for Brawl. At least 20 because I know that is how many Brawl players I know LA can supply between the competitive and casual players, noob and verteran. The rest will be whoever from out of state bothered to pay attention to us and take us seriously enough to make it out to this. As long as we provide a good service this convention and show those who attend/watch the event, that we mean business, our rep will go up and we will see growing numbers of entrants for future conventions. It's all about the rep building right now. :D
It also helps if everyone in the community shows long term hype for these events, not just the TO's. After all, why should OOS players come to an event the locals aren't even hyped about?

You're right. I could come in 4th out of 28, buttt I'd have to try a little harder
but foreal, 40 for melee is a lot. Id say 30 at most. Nothing wrong with being optimistic though. Also, $1 MM any OOS players?! Yea im cheap

I would go if it were possible for me to go. I can't take public transportation there because it's impossible apparently. And nobody can drive me. :I
If you are in Houston and are able to drive me let me know!!!

DFW does have a confirmed carpool going to this, which includes Oracle, ALSM, Denti and myself.
He was but he wont be coming this time. Also he's gotten a lot better. He's as good as I am if not maybe a bit better. Just fyi. >.>

Denti said it's not passing through houston. Is it possible to get me or no? Like how much of a detour would it be?
Oracle
Smash Master
probably a good 2-3 hour detour, doubt denti wants to deal with that (nor anyone else in the car)
BlinkIV

^ This. It really depends on Denti in the end.
Vinnie

2-3 hours? Dang. Hopefully I'll see everyone at Uprise 12!

Who will be the TO for Melee? I hope it's someone who knows what they're doing and I hope Taylor doesn't have to run it again. Unless he wants to?

Mindgames. I am the TO. mandie will run the bracket after it gets going.
Once you've already paid on Saturday, there's no repaying the entry fee on Sunday. Since so many people have told me they want top 8 for Sunday, I'm most likely going to run pools so I can have an 8 man bracket for Sunday. It really all depends on how many people enter the event, which will affect how much time I have to run the event, etc. Regardless, top 8 will be played Sunday no matter what I do Saturday.

ah the mindgames.. Well that's good news.

Wait wait wait what's all this about brawl also being on Sunday? I can't come if that's the case.
Okuser

entire north LA carpool wont be able to come if brawl is on sunday.
On our schedule, it does say Finals will start at 1pm on Sunday. I just realized it should have been more specific. Sorry about that miscommunication.
Edit: Regardless of who comes, I'm running pools Saturday. Eight man bracket will be Sunday.
Edit 2: I'm going to bed. I have an early morning to wake up to.

This is completely unprecedented for LA tournies, and there was no real mention of it in the OP. This is really disappointing :/
