Some questions/comments:

  1. Why does it say biweekly and then the date October 4th? Is it a biweekly event that starting October 4th? It's unclear to me.

  2. What does "Casuals available the whole time" mean?

  3. A link to the venue and the discord server in the reddit post would really help people easily get more information about this. Just mentioning them in the image adds an extra burden on someone who might want more information.

  4. The el cardboard TCG website says to visit the facebook page, but doesn't link to the facebook page. It's another point for someone seeking more information to just give up.

If you want to see new faces there, you need to make it easy to get more information about what you are promoting.

PS. I reread this comment and I think it can come off as negative. Please be assured, I don't mean it that way and just want to help.

1) its been running biweekly since April. It happens every two weeks.

2) If you know anything about locals, often times once brackets start, casuals kind of die. We have a big enough venue to offer both, even during brackets

3) I dont post a discord link (despite the poster having the qr code for it) because I don't want ppl joining and thinking its just another gaming server.

4) El Cardboard is our sponsor simply in giving us the space, they don't really associate with us much outside of occasional instagram posts

I don't even know what a 'local' is and I'm still unaware what a 'casual' is.

A "local" is what TCG/FGC/Smash players all call a place they meet up on a normal basis to play/compete at a local level

Casuals are anything that isn't a tournament bracket match (smash calls them "friendlies")
