Yeah, I am pretty excited. Most of the middle schoolers in the small group I am leading will be there and I have a new friend from my Pokemon club who will also be helping out, so far, it is expected that I will have around 20 kids, but I am posting this tournament everywhere so I may have many more!
I feel the same way about tournaments as you do, I really want to be able to do more of them but Nintendo only ever does one a year, I am hoping that what I do will become popular enough that I can become a PLAY! organizer for Nintendo which will allow me special privileges and what not for the tournaments I hold.
