We only have to room for one day though, so maybe we should just go for just ALT South? I don't remember what time the convention closes each day, but time would be a problem with a huge crowd, so let's go with the south.

Its a 24-hour convention. The Game Room and the con floor stay open all night. And Housing is only $89/night at the Convention Hotel and rooms STILL aren't completely booked. Just start spamming up Texas, Alabama, and Florida.

So LouisiANIME FINALLY got in touch with me about the tournament. You should expect some pot bonuses from the convention if they approve of the Smash Tournament. If not, then we'll just go back to the original plan of having a normal tournament. :]

We NEED a brawl and melee revival im going to convince stephen to do gameware monthlies again and i talked to br's pnt owner and he's going to start running brawl again. Everyone else should try to make some effort toward more tournies for brawl and melee.

I don't know dude. Sounds like you're all over it. We'll just sit back and reap what you sow, if you don't mind.

We don't need a big boom of revivals every few months. If we do, then our collective efforts(attending/hosting) tournaments are just ****. We have plenty of opportunities to get decent numbers across the state.

the usual tournaments range from only 10-20 people for brawl and at gw and pnt they had like 25 plus we need more people. The turnouts are **** most of the players are mostly players from here. I'm tired of playing the same people, the bigger the tournament the more chance of people becoming involved in the scene.

Those are the exact same pills I am taking and I am not happy like you are. I am almost done watching all of the episodes of Wolverine and the X-Men online so my fun is going to die really soon. I might rewatch samurai champloo or death note or something. I hate pretty much all other animes.

Sucks to be you. You must not be taking them enough cause everyone that I've talked to that had those pills were loopy the whole week. Or the added Cyst really make **** horrid.

The best part is when the dentist removes the stitches and tells you not to get **** in the gums. Hardest ****ing thing ever.

We generally have a unique amount of people joining tournaments, but not all at the same time. There's only less than 20-25 people in Louisiana that competes seriously. Not all people can show up at once. I'd honestly get more cooperation from other TOs in the state to advertise for each other's tournaments, but keeping a good local's base is the key. In the end, it'll be an uphill battle. Apathy is your worst friend.

Speaking of advertising, I need more places to advertise for TSL2 considering UL's Spring semester ends a week before the tournament.

This.

We don't need a state revival. Most of us really need to strengthen our Local Scene. After Lafayette's Locals Only tournament, the state-wide tournaments were a big success.

Lafayette's crew started out with only originally me. Now we have ChKn, Blaise, Fang, Nickels, MasterMajora, FPDav, Oathkeeper and alot of Locals that don't travel like Trint, Amber, and many many more. We need more people in each city that can carpool or something.

The Brawl community has a different issue than the Melee community. The Brawl community here is pretty good, but we have a lot of younger players. The biggest issue with Brawl tournaments in LA has nothing to do with size, it has to do with rides. We have the will, just not the rides.

We need to find more people from each city that can carpool. Each city only has one main form of transportation with the seldom second driver.

Baton Rouge: Johnathon (then seldom BSL)
Lafayette: Curlz
New Orleans: Jiovanni (seldom Ran [super seldom JNig])

but then why has the turnout died down. I remember that when gameware and laser tag were having tournies in br people I now know were coming out of state and the turnout would be huge. Why do we no longer have that ability to generate that kind of crowd again?

Probably because the last time we had OoS people for a BIG tournament, we had 25-40 people. I remember Last 3 getting 70+. I think 50+ people is the the sweetspot number that we'd need to hit as a state to attract other OoS people.

We should ask what it would take for OoS people to come here.
