If you haven't reserve your hotel room the FR18 discount will end when the online registration ends in 3 weeks!  Look on the top left side of the website to book your room today.  Rooms are going fast since it's closer to the event, so get them while they last.  Not only do you get a reduced rate on the rooms under the FR group rate but your parking is also discounted.  I'm also going to work on a drink discount for FR attendance at the bar.  I'll have more details on that later.  See you guys in a month and a half!

All team/exhibitions/community events must get approved by ME to be ran at FR18 period! Any "Community event" will be ran by the communities that requested their game to be played at FR18. Remember that Community event doesn't mean it won't happen. If I allow it at FR then it's a tournament regardless of the label. Hence the name EVENT in the title. We would just need some help with the systems/games and you will have an area to play and run the tournament. All community events registration will be at the door only.

Team/exhibitions/community events that are confirmed as of now are as followed:

Of course we are going to bring back the popular series "CURLEY MUSTACHE BATTLE ROYALE" 5v5 team Regional tournament. The hype of FR + CM is too powerful and I know there will be more regions/teams allowed this year! More details coming soon for this instant classic!

We will have multiple streams for FR18 for those that can not attend FR18 to get a small taste of the event. We are glad to have the following streamers for FR18:

Ok for those that have called the hotel to reserve the normal double bed rooms under the FR17 group rate $93(normally $120) and there are sold out so let me see if I can get some more rooms added! I TOLD Y'ALL THEY WOULD START GOING FAST! Give me some time and i'll call the hotel tomorrow morning to try and get more hotel rooms open for the FR17 group. If I can get more rooms added to the group you better reserve them when you can! We are probably going to book the whole hotel full of FR17 peeps! Also be advised that all rooms under the FR group rate will receive free wifi throughout your stay at FR17!

"As of right now only rooms available online for the FR discounted rate are the following:"

 1 king bed = $93 per night- normally $119

 1 king bed executive floor= $113 per night- normally $150

Hello everyone,
 
I have some very important news to tell you guys before FINAL ROUND 16 is upon you. Thanks to everyone that registered online. As of 11:30 pm EST, all registrations have now been processed in the FR registration system. PLEASE go to the "Player Schedule" link and confirm your information - if your name does not appear, or if there is a mistake, please email BobSmack at webmaster@finalround.org AS SOON AS POSSIBLE as pool creation will be starting this week.

 With that being said I have to do something that i've never done before and I will have to issue caps on games to properly plan a schedule for this event. We are going to start the process of making pools this week, so by 3 days before the event we will have preliminary pools posted. Those that haven't registered online will have to register at the door on Thursday March 28 between 5pm-9pm or Friday March 29 between 8am-12noon.

 After that there will not be anymore registrations taken at the door, so I advise everyone that didn't register online to try their best to get to the venue on thursday to make sure you have a chance to enter the hypest tournament in the MILKWAY!

 The cap means that we think these games are either close to reaching these caps or they will equal those bracket levels once we close emergency door registration:

 Ultimate MVC3: 512
 Super SF4: AE v2012: 512
 Tekken Tag 2: 512
 Street Fighter x Tekken: 256
 King of Fighters 13: 128
 Persona 4 Arena: 128
 Mortal Kombat 9: 128
 Soul Calibur 5: 128
 Dead or Alive 5: 128
 Melty Blood AA: 64



Also any player that DID NOT REGISTER ONLINE WILL NOT BE SEEDED IN ANY MANNER!  These are the rules!

14
Online registration for FR16 is now closed as of 9:00 AM EST on 3/16/2013. If you registered between 3/13/2013 and this morning, your name should show up in the system under "Player Schedule" by 11:59 pm on Sunday 3/17/2013. There was an overwhelming number of registrations - thanks to all of you that chose to register online! It will save us all time and trouble at the event this year!
 
Emergency onsite registration will be held at the venue on Thursday, 3/28/2013 from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm and on Friday, 3/29/2013 from 8:00 am to 12:00 noon. These are the ONLY times that onsite registration will be available, and we will only take registrations for a game while there is enough availability in the brackets, so the best bet to ensure your entry into an event is to get registered at the door as early as possible!!!

15
If you haven't online registered for the HYPEST event in the FGC (FINAL ROUND 16) then you only have until 12 midnight PST or 3am EST to do so. I'm extending it for the west coast people i've received emails from that they could register when they got off work but it wouldn't be before 12 midnight est. go to http://www.finalround.org/register.cfm and

PLEASE READ THE TEXT IN RED BEFORE YOU TRY TO REGISTER!!!!!!!! IT HAS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR YOU TO READ TO COMPLETE YOUR ONLINE REGISTRATION JUST IN CASE YOU GET A 405 ERROR WHILE REGISTERING.
 
You also have only 2 hours 17 minutes to book your hotel room under the FINAL ROUND group rate. If you wait you will be paying $150 per night instead of 113 per night. Goto http://www.finalround.org/location.cfm and get your room before the rate is done!

There's been a flood of players registering today and we appreciate everyone that is coming to FR16

Yo ShinBlanka, what's the closest MARTA station to the Hilton venue? Google Maps is saying it's a few miles away, meaning a bus ride might be necessary. So...bus or bust?

Looks like those bushes in front of the Hilton might be looking comfier by the days.

Ride to the airport and get on the hilton shuttle. If you don't or can't get on the shuttle I think East Point station is the closet.  You need to look up the bus route also, because I know theres a bus that rides by the hotel, but I don't know what station it comes from.

17
17 DAYS UNTIL THE HYPE IS UPON YOU!!!!!!!!!!!  4 DAY TO ONLINE REGISTER!  http://www.finalround.org/register.cfm

18
THERE'S ONLY 6 days until online registration is closed for FR16!  http://www.finalround.org/register.cfm  :toot:

 There's only 40 rooms available in the entire hotel during the FR16 weekend. Get them while you have the chance people at

Now is the time I start asking for setups and finalizing the list. Gonna need your help with 4-6 setups so this thing can run on time and smoothly. I also need an interest check on a team tournament/special event that Saturday night.

Hope you still got a shirt for me, Larry! :D

I hope this tournament is still going to happen Ben.  I don't need more set up's than people sign up online right now sir!  As of this morning there's only 4 people sign up for MB.  Needless to say that information hit me like a ton of  :bricks:  So right now your set up is all I need Ben to run a 4 man round robin and a 2 team team tournament.  There's only 18 days until online registration is closed.

22
There's only 19 days left until online registration is closed, so make sure you get your badge + your games registered before the deadline ends!  The only way to ensure you being properly seeded is to online register. Online registration ends 2 weeks before the event so it would allow us to make the pools a week in advance and post them 3 days before the event. That way everyone will know what pool and what time they need to report to their pools.


We need your help to make sure everything starts on time/on schedule and pre registering online is a vital part of the process!  If you do sign up at the door for your games it will be $10 more than the online fee. ($40 online and $50 at the door) Also you won't be seeded in ANY MANNER if you sign up at the door. You will be placed in the next available slot in a pool. We can't spend 1-2 hours reseeding the pools because people want to be lazy.  Goto the following link to register online:

http://www.finalround.org/register.cfm


There's only 14 days until the FINAL ROUND hotel group rate will end and I added more rooms so you guys would have a chance to get a room under the FR group rate ($93 per night) instead of the $150 per night without the fr group rate.  Goto the following link to reserve your room before they are all gone:


http://www.finalround.org/location.cfm


I don't know if everyone realize it, but there's only 34 days until the hype is upon us shawty!  Stay tuned to WINTER BRAWL 7 stream on team spooky for the newest FR16 trailer!

24
Ok everyone ask and you shall receive! With over half of the building sold out and our group doubled the amount reserved for us I had to sign an additional contract to get the remaining rooms released to you at the FR rates! At 6pm tomorrow all of the remaining rooms will be released! I don't know how long they will last so you better get them at 6:01pm to make sure you get a room. Here's the link: http://www.finalround.org/location.cfm


Also for those that was waiting for their check they will not charge your card before you arrive at the hotel so you can feel safe that they won't charge you.

25
Does anyone have space for two on their room from thursday to monday?

EDIT: nevermind, I'm fixed now.
So while preforming a hotel room check for the rooms available via the FR16 group rate I compared the normal rate to what they have available and what I had available. The double beds are sold out for standard and executive rooms in the entire hotel. At this moment we only have Standard Single king available for the low price of $93 per night and you may request a roll out bed.

http://www.finalround.org/location.cfm
 
Or you can goto Hilton's official site at

https://secure3.hilton.com/en_US/hi/reservation/book.htm?execution=e1s1
 
and you'll see the rooms are $129 per night to reserve or $114 if pay for the room in advance, but it's none refundable if you do that. I don't know how much longer this rooms will be available, but they are trying to sell the same rooms at a higher price on the hilton website, so if you want to save at least $30 per day on your hotel room you better snatch up the last few rooms available! No sleeping in the hallways/lobbies people. lol 

The funny thing is the people that normally get rooms hasn't got their rooms yet! I know what I will be asked in 4 weeks. "Are there any more rooms available?" and my reply will be "Sorry man, but FR sold out a 507 guest rooms hotel from March 28 --> April 1 like 2 weeks ago." Don't be that guy that ask me that question in 4 weeks. Reserve that room right now while it's still available.
