We are now on the threshold of a new era for the community. After the strong presence of the community at The Fall Classic, and the increasing numbers at the WNF weekly in SoCal, we have shown that we are a growing and supportive community that will still have a ways to go. Now while The 1st Annual Filthy Rich Cup is not a major by any stretch, its still an important moment for the Dead Or Alive community because of the increased interest since TFC. Over in Philadelphia and Jersey, the scene has grown quite a bit due to the showing at TFC and at the Filthy Rich Cup we can begin to gauge how strong that interest really is. So for those who live in the tri-state, you are highly encouraged to show up if possible and not only compete but teach and continue to get these new players to continue to stick with the game. The Fall Classic was our time to shine, now let's go out there and keep it our star shinning.
