As far as NCR goes it seems that it's going to be very tough trying to get our game in the lineup. We'll have to compete with the Soul Calibur, VF, and Super Turbo communities in order to get a spot because more than likely those communities are going to be contacting the NCR people as well.
Here are my suggestions on trying to get DOA at NCR 2013
1. The person you want to hit up is Terry Ng (Kineda). He's the main organizer. Here's the link to his Facebook ~
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=568095004 . Send him a message and say that you want to attend NCR for DOA only.
2. Post on the NCR Facebook event post (
http://www.facebook.com/events/122874407891932/) and ask for our game to be included in the lineup. Like every post that mentions DOA, comment in every post that mentions DOA, whatever. We need to show high numbers in all categories. We, as a community, need to show unity to prove that we're serious about trying to get our game in the lineup.
3. If you have a Twitter account then tweet him (
https://twitter.com/kineda/). Be polite folks. Let's not spam this man but let us do make our presence and interest known to him.
By no means am I suggesting that you spam this man with messages and bug that crap shit him. Don't do that cuz we'll just look bad. Be formal about it.

Now for BOTB2, I made a Facebook event post so you can now RSVP if you're thinking about attending (
http://www.facebook.com/events/161233207359585/). Also gathered up a bunch of more sponsors for the event= and got a gang of more items for the raffles & whatnot. I would really love for all my SoCal peeps to attend my event but in the scenario that DOA does get in the NCR lineup then I will not have a single grain of salt in my body if you don't make it to my tournament. I'd much rather have our game be presented to the other fighting game communities at high profile event like NCR.
BUT IF DOA DOESN'T GET INTO NCR, then I hope my SoCal peeps DO MAKE IT TO BOTB2. I know there's at least a few of the SoCal peeps that are interested in attending BOTB2 so you guys are really going to need to work together in terms or gas money and hotel costs in order to make it to SJ. I could probably house 2 or 3 people from SoCal that want to attend BOTB2 but any more than that then y'all are just going to have to get a hotel because it will be way too crowded at my house. I have no problem chipping in on a hotel if that's what it comes down to.
Don't hesitate to message me if you have any questions at all.
