So it's Feb 23rd--where is it? I think having a thread with all of the details will be help get to that number. Members could post a link on other sites.
 
I'm wondering why isn't there a player attendance list for the two biggest tournaments like we had for NEC? Needs one, I think CRUM created the NEC one. Needs more attention, so people know.

Final Round

Because MK players procrastinate and don't commit until 5 hours before the tournament

Hey guys whats up! It's your boy rolando VP of Video X Games St. Maarten. First off thanks for all your interest in VxG. I'll try my best to answer some of the questions i saw here.

Me saying 200 does seem like a lot. But, i say lets shoot high and hope for the best right? It would mean basically all 117 people who came, and another 80 people coming as well. Considering many players didnt make it to NEC, i think 150 is very doable, no? 200 would be super though, thats why i went for that number.

Honestly, the idea of giving the trip to a raffle winners is a great idea, probably something we will budget for next time. However, we do have something else in the works. It's nothing big, but, we are arranging to have ever MK player at WB to get a free St. Maarten T-Shirt, something like what Reo won. Like i said its not much, but it would be pretty cool to earn a shirt from a Caribbean island i think :p

Oh and Ok so Reo gave the trip to CDJR indeed. But the rule still stands: you cannot win a qualifier more than once. So IF reo wins at WB, then 2nd place would win the trip.

We have a 3rd slot for another MK qualifier but won't announce what that might be till around January. But i'd love to hear what tournaments you think would be a great qualifier?

Please follow me on @thevideoxgames and i'm always open to answering questions there too.

Final Round would be the perfect qualifier IMO. It's right before Injustice comes out and should have a ton of MK representation there. Plus this gives Pig Of The Hut a chance to get 1st and go to St. Maarten! :D

MLG and EVO are realistically still the only MK tournaments worth travelling to outside of a 10 hour drive radius sadly. Let's not get any ideas from Tony-T who just happened to be on vacation and stopped by at NEC. I myself would love to go to some of these east coast tournies just for the experience, but the travel/prize pool $ just stack up against the odds of too many players.

Can the community aspire to have entrants in triple-figures consistently? Sure, but it's not gonna happen overnight.

I don't mean to sound like a pessimist or anything either, WB7 does look like it'll beat this year's turnout, so we'll see whats up..
Sorry man, you sound like a definite pessimist. Gotta be like us, an optomotrist
