[29 Mar 2013] FINAL ROUND 16 (Atlanta, GA)

I'm bringing my PS3 with VF5FS on it.

 

So say 50 bucks to enter and probably around 400 bucks more to get their by air and back and hotel and so on, thats why I was asking about the prize pool to see if its worth it because even if I get first place will I make a profit? That is the question.

 

Yea to bad vf does not get as much attention as those 2D fighters because vf is worth it and thanks for helping to run this tournament Blackstar.

 

I will be bringing a full setup (evo monitor, PS3, game) too, though it will be unavailable for a good period of time on saturday (since it will be being used on BB side tournament).

 

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

 

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!!!

 

good luck to those who are going to this event!

 

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!

 

Not sure what you mean by this. I'm trying to drag some friends along with me, they did not register online, does this mean they can't enter the VF tourney? Or that they can register at the door, but they will just be thrown in bracket at random?

 

Means the latter, unless the cap is reached in which case no more entrants period. VF doesn't have a cap though.

 

Thanks for quick response, I'm bringing (hopefully) 4 with me. Going to try and get them up there on the 28th to make sure they get badges...no excuses for not going to a major tourney in your home city

 

Who's streaming it? I want to watch.

 

I want to watch too. Please lets see some high level VF live if possible.

 

Blackstar better win or we are gonna have some words....

 

ill be there to get pwned
