True enough, as I said before if the tournament is open invitational then he could indeed be a participant but thus far we only know Penny (likely from Vaccuo given her dialogue and the context) and Beacon students who will be fighting in the tournament so we don't actually know IF it's open or not. It could just be a nation (or continent actually) wide event that brings together the best of the best from the most prestigious academies from all around Vytal in a demonstration of future promise.

The ONLY hint of Sun's participation is an off-hand comment made by Yang who knew absolutely nothing about him at the time.
