I'll definitely be there. The PTO and Judges should be warned though of the possible MASSIVE ATTENDANCE. San Diego's CC got over 60 on the SAME DAY as one in Thousand Oaks. Not to mention Norcal's crew will be there in full force along with myself of course from "TEAM CHAD" Really i won't be suprised if we get almost 150 people this year, we had like over 100 last year.....
 
Nice...i've been waiting for this post!!! Now you know all the "LA" guys will be ready...and as my man chad mentioned, I too am hoping for a HUGE turnout, just makes the tourney environment that much more competitive!!! Cause CALI don't mess around...SO CALI WELCOMES ALL OUT OF STATERS, WHO'S GAME??? c'ya on the 6th, I'M OUT...

HOLLA

Team la rock will be there for sure this year. NO MORE SLEEPING IN LATE! like last year. :nonono:

PS: I think vegas and Arizona people should come on down and try to take it from us because we will be sure to come to ur state champion and take ur trophy, again. :wink:

PS: I'm from Team la rock a.k.a. ME, myself, and I. I'm also from Team LA and Team Magma :thumb:

If this date is on the same day as something else I have, I will kill someone.

But for now, I am probably coming, along with Porygon, so hope to see everyone there!
 
I expect 125 people for this turnout, maybe even 150. I wouldn't be suprised really. Since last year, didn't CA states get like 105?

I think it was 107 and the TMS program kept crashing!!! :mad:

125-150 huh....I think my fingers are going to be a little tired by the end of the day... :eek:
 
Wow 10 am on a SUNDAY? I guess i have to get up really early for this one =/ Please tell me that we are doing matchplay after swiss. I know it wasn't your guys' fault last time, but that would be terrible if states stars so late again this year. Also, if there are a lot of players in each age group we should run top 16, it worked BEAUTIFULLY at the WCSC, it was over at 9:30 despite my horridly slow playing in the finals, and we even had a lunch break. There is a trip on the line this time too, at least a $300 travel fund, that is. Most people don't mind playing very long, i realize this is on a sunday though, my question is, WHY? I don't have school the next day but i know most people do.....
