who's driving down with me

I thought you learned the matchup from last time, seriously thought, since there's a date, it'll probably be cheaper to get a ticket in the upcoming months of this event, that 10+ hr drive is ridiculous & I know from plenty of experience.
 

If you plan on driving you might as well ride on MEGABUS!  You can't get tickets until the event is 2 months away, but I sent players from GA to ECT4 in NJ for 80 round trip and that was buying a ticket the day before the event.  If you get it 2 months in advance it will cost you like 40-50 bucks at the most!  I still don't understand how megabus makes any money.

Unless you guys don't want melty at FR it will always have a home as long as you support FR events.   Who was the guy that streamed last year on the side?

Rayza and the MDVA crew brought their setups for streaming.

They have permision to stream the entire event again.  I guess they brought their own 4g hot spot to stream correct?

Atlanta, Ga.
Friday, March 29, 2013 -- Sunday, March 31, 2013


The 16th installment of FINAL ROUND is back and better than ever!  Thank you to EVERYONE that attended FRXV in making it the biggest Fighting Game Tournament on the East Coast with over 1500+ competitors from around the world competing to be the best in their favorite games.  With Japan shocking the world with FinalRoundbats season #2 champion Kusoru "Ageo Joe" winning UMVC3 at FRXV on American soil with his V.Joe, Frank West, Rocket Racoon team made for high drama!  What surprise's will happen at this years event?  We hope that everyone that attended FRXV will come back and bring 5 friends with them.  The location of the event is as followed:

Location:

Hilton Atlanta Airport
1031 Virginia Avenue

Yes we are happy to return to the Hilton near the airport for FRXVI.  Players that fly to FRXVI will be a 3 minute shuttle ride from the venue.  There's a FREE 24 hour shuttle from the Airport to the tournament venue so no expensive cab rides from the airport this year.  This location also has plenty of places to eat inside the venue and around the venue and it is PET FRIENDLY for you guys that bring your pets to the tournament. 

This year we'll be using the EVO/UFGT pool system (16 man brackets per pool, double elim) for all tournaments at FRXVI to stream line the tournament in a timely manner.  At this moment the 4 games that are confirmed for now as Official events for FRXVI are the following:

This will be my only post for awhile, but I just wanted to say thank you guys for supporting Final Round XV. For everyone that attended FRXV "I apoligize for the massive delays during Saturday events". From the delays to the DQ's I place all of that on my shoulders. It was my fault because I under estimated the community and how many people were planning to attend this years event. I was very under staffed and I did not have enough equipment to PROPERLY run an event of FRXV size.

With the tournament being under staffed it put more stress on the volunteers/staff to run more pools than we asked them to do. We had two 400+, one 250+, and a 170+ tournament to get towards the top 32-top 16 within a 16 hour period! With the added problem of trying to upload various games patches in brand new ps3 made every tournament run slow on saturday. I'll do my best to not have this happen again on such a large scale.

Thanks to everyone for making new hype moments at FRXV. From the top players we all know and to the everyday guy that came to frxv just to spectate. All of you made this years event a great event to attend and a great distraction from my personal life problems. Thanks for all the well wishes throughout the weekend. You don't know how much that keep me going because I throw final round for the people/community. If you guys are happy then i'm happy. Also thanks to everyone that donated towards my mothers funeral. From the bottom of my heart thank you! I didn't know how much the community would stand behind a stranger with gifts to help someone in a time of need. You will never know how much I appreciate this FGC!

Now that I have posted this please give me time to reflect.

For EVERYONE that paid online registration for your game and not your badge or vice versa you better get here early on friday morning because your registration IS NOT COMPLETE!  For those that didn't online register at all you better be here bright and early on Friday March 2, 2012 because registration ends on friday!  We had online registration up for 6 months so I hope you guys can make it out, but if you get here on Saturday thinking you are going to sign up for a tournament you'll be sadly mistaken.  There's only 4 days until FRXV eve so get hype people!  If you can get a friend to sign you up early on friday that would work also, but he needs all of your information and the money to buy the badge.  We'll put you in the system, and he will have your badge.

Thanks to all of you that decided to register early, you're saving us and yourselves a lot of time later and for those that are going to register at the door please be at the door on March 2, 2012 at 7:30am est.  Due to the shear amount of people attending FRXV we need to start the door registration earlier than normal.  The ballroom will not be open until 10am.

If you have registered since Feb. 18th, we are still processing your registration. These should all be done by tomorrow evening. See you in March....excuse me see you guys in 6 days and 4 hours!

My group of friends are driving down Saturday morning, because I have class on Friday that I cannot skip.




One of our group wants to enter SF4, but I was wondering if I could get him in a later pool, just in case we hit traffic or something in the morning.




Is there an email address or something I should contact to settle this matter?




Very pumped about this tournament.

Anyone that can not be at the hotel on friday morning March 2nd, 2012 MUST SIGN UP ONLINE register for their badge and games or they will not be able to compete in the tournaments. No they will not be put in a later pool if they don't sign up online. They need to email the webmaster on the fr website to notify us that he will need to be in the late pools. They will get a spectator wristband and watch the event. Registration at the door ends on friday, period! If they register online they can pick up their badge on sat.




YOU ONLY HAVE 16 HOURS LEFT TO REGISTER ONLINE FOR FINAL ROUND XV! To register online please goto http://www.finalround.org/FRXV/registration.cfm

IF YOU DON'T REGISTER ONLINE, YOU MUST REGISTER AT THE EVENT ON FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 2!

IF YOU DON'T REGISTER ONLINE OR AT THE EVENT ON FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 2, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE!There's only 7 days 2 HOURS until THE HYPE COMETH!!!

There is NO ALCOHOL ALLOWED in the MAIN BALLROOM! Also there is a no open container policy in the hotel so you can't be walking around the hotel with a cup of your favorite beverage in the hotel. This is not a casino people! You may drink in your room or at the bar in the hotel, but there can't be people walking around the hotel with open containers in The Westin Hotel period! This behavior could put the event in jeopardy of being cancelled by the hotel so this is a SERIOUS policy not to forget!

Hey ShinBlanka, how much of a pain would parking at the hotel be? It's Atlanta and all so I shouldn't be getting my hopes up...but it's also a hotel Just wondering if it should be able to accommodate the influx of people or not.

It should be fine as parking is free at this hotel.
