It's because no TO with experience wants to step it up and host one. Our TOs with any real experience are Ran, Randall, Taylor, and Vaughn. Taylor hates Brawl. Randall doesn't play for who knows why. Vaughn doesn't want to deal with the hassle of all that (I assume) and Ran just got back from CO so it's expected to be a while before he would even think of one.

i would be down to host if i didnt have to work every weekend. small chance i could do it during the summer but idk. and despite hating brawl, i would still run it, assuming everyone brought the **** needed cuz i dont have set ups for that.
It would be nice if people did that for every tournament instead of showing up empty handed. I'd love to see people run a 20 man tournament with 1 or 2 set-ups and deal with people being an hour late and such that I dealt with when I ran tournaments in BR. So yeah, bringing a set-up is highly appreciated and it does go a long way. Along with being on time.

You are right its very ambitious of us. The tournaments being ran are immense and the numbers will clock over 50 for each small tourney I have no doubt. On average n64 alone brings 60 , melee coming up the rear now bringing in around 50 and brawl should top out around 100 this time. Here we'll try to meet a middle ground n64 doubles has lost its crowd over the years so we will scrap it to make more time for every other tourney as well as space them out accordingly.
New Schedule
12-Open
1:00-N64 singles
1:30-Melee Singles
2:00-Tasol Brawl Tournament/SSF4:AE & MK9
3:00-Project M
4:00-UMvC3/Skull Girls
5:30-Thirty Minute Food Break
6:00-Mario Kart Wii
10:00-Closing Time
If you are concerned about our man power or our TOs being able to handle it. I personally have faith that our TOs and our many helpers can coordinate this thing nicely.
As for the fighters making it too hectic. I wouldn't be worried the fighters alone should be able to sustain themselves with Ryck from Dibbz doing the TO and we're looking to recruit Sarah from TU as well into our ranks. If these top named TOs in LA can't handle it then no one could have. I and many others hope this convention will launch a great chain of events that will help improve the LA scene. On top of that if venue time goes over don't even think about it the venue owners love us. They just don't take our event seriously so by all means go over the time limit that way they'll have to give us a full weekend come winter
"Final" Changes
-Brawl has 10 hours allotted (8 within schedule 2 over)
-N64 Doubles Scraped
-Schedule reconfigured

We also want to point out that we are keeping registration open for each tournament until it is scheduled to start, so be sure to arrive on time. We are making NO EXCEPTIONS. Make sure you know how to get to Ohana Pier, make sure you have everything you need packed the night before, and make sure you leave far enough ahead of time to make room for error in case you get lost.

Well, the only person that's told me they wanted a carpool spot and have pre-registered is BSP... Anyways, I've secured housing with Sync for Friday and Saturday nights.
And I cannot stress this enough: Please bring your printed out, PHYSICAL ticket with you.
I'm glad Smash-Con decided to cut off some tournies, would've had a lot of DQ's to hand out.
Bomber, you touched on the key problems we have. People show up to tourney yesterday, and don't want to enter a $5 tourney (NO VENUE FEE), and the same people want tournies bumped up to $10 entry so more people will come? And not only do they not contribute to the tourney, they are the ones who usually delay it. Yeah, really motivates me to run a tourney...
Good thing there's been plenty of tournies on the last weekends of the past few months lol.

This is actually offensive to me. I've been hosting tournaments since 2009 and have pulled in some of the bigger numbers in LA. What defines as experience to you?
And also,
Its because I beat him. ;D

Sorry if it's a bit offensive Curlz, but when I said experienced, I meant at doing well. Sorry but I've just never seen you host a tourney like some of the ones I've seen those other 4 host on top of the vast, vast majority of their tournies all being run extremely smoothly.
Icey, we did Teams. 4 teams entered then no one wanted to enter singles cause everyone was drunk/not-sober by then lol.
