Registration: Please make sure to be at Game Pazzo on time for check-in and registration. Venue registration will be handled on the day of the event at the front counter. Individual game tournament registration will be able to be done online or at the venue on the day of the event. If possible, we would prefer that you register in advance online. It ensures that we are able to make the brackets as fair as possible as far as regional seeding and also ensures the tournaments will begin on time without delays. Last minute registration for tournaments will still be available the day of the event for those who decide to enter a game they were on the fence about. I will be posting more information very soon about advanced tournament registration payment.
Saturday Schedule:

Game tournament entry fees: Every game tournament will be $10 to enter for each player. Team tournaments will be $10 for each person (so a 3 player team would be $30).
Prize split for all games (not includeing pot bonuses): 1st - 70%, 2nd - 20%, 3rd - 10%

More prize announcements to come soon!
General Singles Tournament rules: All games will follow the community standard tournament rules that you would expect them to. Glitches, stages and characters that are banned in their respective games in most respected majors will also be banned at FFVI. There will be specific rules posted for each game soon. All single tournaments are 2/3 except for UMvC3 which will be 3/5. Semi finals and Grand finals for all singles tournaments are 3/5. Grand finals for Guilty Gear singles will be 4/7. All singles tournaments are double elimination. Winner must keep the same character, loser may switch characters. You may select a different character if you are fighting a new opponent. Rapid fire settings on buttons are banned for all controlers in all games. Wireless controlers are banned. If you want to use a wireless pad or stick, you must plug it in.
Pot Splitting: There has been a lot of drama about pot splitting in the FGC lately. This has never been a problem at Frosty Faustings before. What you do with the prize money is your own business, but all finals should be played out seriously out of respect for the community and the people watching the stream. This is about the spirit of competition and respect. Please bring your A game until you win the tournament or are defeated.
Game specific rules

more to come
Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R special exhibition tournament: We would like to get the best players in the US to do a regional 5 on 5 where each player fights each player from the other team and the total wins are tallied. Teams will be decided in advance. If you are interested in participating, please tell me (ElvenShadow). More information to come.
Streamed high stakes money match in GG: I would like to have a high stakes money match on stream against someone. If you are interested please let me know. Any amount is fine. I also encourage side bets. If anyone else has a high stakes grudge match against someone else they would like to set up. Please let me know.
Request for Setups: Frosty Faustings is a community driven event and the event planning staff does not make profit aside from any tournament winnings. As such, all of the consoles and games are provided by the community and tournament attendees. Please bring any consoles and games that are on the tournament list. The more setups we have, the faster things run and the more time there will be for matches. We VERY MUCH appreciate your help! (we are looking into venue discount options for people who bring consoles games and monitors.)
Casuals area and side tournaments: There will be some space to set up casuals and side tournaments. If you plan to run a side tournament, please inform me first.
