Virtua Fighter@Final Round XVII: [March 14-16, 2014] Atlanta, GA "FINAL ROUND XVII"

Thinkin' about making this tournament an XBOX 360 tournament this year. Makes the streaming situation easier for me, so right now, I'm leaning around 70% 360 vs 30% PS3. My decision will be final by tomorrow (Monday) most likely.

If you are FOR or AGAINST, let me know NOW or else! I'll consider all responses, but at the end, its my call, but I still want to hear what potential attendees have to say.

 

Alright, as much as I hate to say it, VF at Final Round this year will be on PS3 due to extraneous circumstances. Be sure that you're prepared for it!

 

word from the man himself, Shin Blanka:

"I don't know if you guys realize this or not but FINAL ROUND 17 IS SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF MARCH MADDNESS and it's St Patrick's day weekend. The hotel is starting to fill up and if you want to make sure you get a room you need to reserve it online right now. I had 20 double rooms released and within 2 hours they were going! They will not charge your card until you arrive at he hotel to check in for the event.

As of right now we only have the king bed for 93 per night, the executive king for 113 and the king junior suite for 133 per night. I'll try and see if I can get more rooms released, but they are going fast from people attending FR and people coming in town for st patricks day weekend. If I get more double rooms released you guys better snatch them up quick, fast, and in a hurry.

If anyone is trying to call the hotel to reserve a room under the FR17 group rate do not call the 1-800 reservation # because those people know nothing about the FR17 group rate and they will try to charge you crazy prices for the guest room. At least 3 people have told me when the called the hotel they must have been transferred to the 800 reservation # because they was trying to charge them 245 per night!

The hotel direct # is 404-767-9000

Tell them when you call not to transfer you to the national reservation because you need to register for the event through the hotel directly. I would advised everyone to reserve their rooms via the online registration instead of calling athttps://resweb.passkey.com/Resweb.do?mode=welcome_ei_new&eventID=10704122

and where it ask "To get started, Choose a guest type" you should click on the box below "ATTENDEE" to get the rate. If you can do me a favor and please post share this post to get the word out I would appreciate it everyone. Also copy and paste it in your scene groups that plan to attend FR17 so they can be aware of this post also. Thank you and I'll see you guys in less than 30 days. The hotel FR17 group discount for room reservations ends when the online badge/game reservation ends and THAT IS IN 11 DAYS"

 

To anyone on the fence about coming to Final Round, there's a great deal going through Southwest Airlines! Shin Blanka posted an example airfare coming from NYC -- hop on it before its gone!

"If you haven't gotten your flight for FR17 then you're in luck! SOUTHWEST is having a great sale going on right now that one way is from nyc is $92 on Thursday march 13 and return one way for Monday march 17 it's $92 back to nyc! I'm sure it's a great deal for anyone planning to attend FR17.http://www.southwest.com/html/promotions/nationwide-sale.html?clk=HOMEHEROMEDBAC140218"
