So I received a message from CafeID that they are sending Kensouzzang, Poongko, and Knee to compete at #FR16! The GLOBAL SATURATION CONTINUES as FR16 just continues to get hyper every day that passes by! With 7 days and 18 hours left until the tournament starts who knows what will happen next. I advise anyone that can attend FR16 to attend because this is shaping up to be the most intense FR to date!

yes they can pick up a spectator badge any time during FR16

Sorry my friend. If I put an airplane from everywhere someone was traveling to FR16 I would have a picture full of airplanes with no map. hahahaha

Correct sir! 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!

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!!!

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

Thank you!

If you can confirm the set up's then you got it sir. Side joints bb and GG are for friday, but one (BB) may start on sat once p4a has gotten down to the top 8! I hope you guys enjoyed the new trailer. Hopefully someone will put this trailer on the front page of this site. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgQnccvoesk Also check out the video of FR15 hype to get you ready for FR16. http://vimeo.com/38198844 Both videos were created by FunkyP, so show this man a lot of love on stream #2 during FR16 for his great work. http://www.twitch.tv/funkyp and of course stream #1 will be none other than Team Spooky http://www.twitch.tv/teamsp00ky I also may have some DS tournament news coming up soon, so stay tuned to www.finalround.org for more details!

I don't know what people are waiting on but there's only 18 people that have registered online for P4A as of this morning. The massive amount of hotel rooms reserved under the FR16 group rate is not matching up with the low pre register list numbers, but I know we are going to have a lot more people at FR16 than the pre reg list suggest. I just think people haven't registered online yet and they don't realize that online registration will end in 18 days! We need people to pre reg online so we can properly make the pools and list them 3 days prior to the event so everyone attending will know when, what, and where they need to be during FR16. If you don't register online you will only cause delay's in the event as we would have to redo pre-made pools/brackets due to the overflow of at the door regs. We at FINAL ROUND 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. We are trying to accomendate those that don't have a paypal account or those that won't have the funds until the date of the event with emergency door reg's on Thursday evening 7pm-10pm March 28, 2013 and Friday March 29, 2013 at 8am-12 noon, but that is suppose to be for emergency regs only and not for those who forgot to reg online. 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 33 days until the hype is upon us shawty! I'm also might do something with the new Darkstalkers as requested by the players, but I need to see the pre reg list for P4a go up a lot to even think about adding something else to FR16. Is there another website for P4A players that i don't know about that I need to put the event information on?

Yes I need your help sir. Goto the website and sign up on the volunteer page now!!!!! 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.

Stay tuned to WINTER BRAWL 7 stream on team spooky for the newest FR16 trailer!

This guy is smart! You guys need to listen to him. if you bring it I will allow it. Yes i've said we are out of double rooms for a few weeks now. Next year when I state that the rooms are going fast you will get that double bed room sir. Someone help this man out! Sup Tad, i'm sure the gg and bb community will thank you sir! By the way do you want to be a volunteer?

Check out FINAL ROUND on facebook and follow us on twitter for more updates at https://twitter.com/ATLfinalround http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=213345712145435&set=a.213345705478769.70962.213293662150640&type=1&theater&notif_t=like#!/FinalRoundAtl

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.

Ben asked me on facebook sir! :P

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.

Ben Lester asked to do so. If it happens it would have to be on sat after mk9 is completed. I told Ben if the BB players bring their own set up's it will help a lot to get BB side joint happening! Also P4A will be running on Sat so the side event can not hold up/delay the p4a event at any moment! A player is to play his official tournament matches 1st.

If you want to get a room at the venue you need to do so quick because all of the double bed rooms are sold out and I don't know how long until we reach full capacity for the hotel. If you plan to attend FINAL ROUND 16 you might want to grab those rooms up before they are all gone. At this moment they have Single King Bed rooms still available to reserve. One of the questions i've received is "Do they charge my card before I arrive at the hotel?" We don't have any none refundable rooms on our group block so they shouldn't charge you when you make the reservation. The link to the tournament venue is http://www.finalround.org/location.cfm See you guys in 49 days and 16 hours!

Nice i'll see you in march nice i'll see you here in march. Thanks man i'm glad you and your friends had a good time at FR15 and you coming back for more! See you guys in march!
