In an effort to trying to bring all of the FGC together Paradise was born! We had a WC qualifier this past year in SD that we offered a free badge + entry in the game you won for FR18. This tournament will be used in the similar way we run FRbats in japan.

The amount of entries will decides how many players are sent out to FR19. Since a trip from SD to the ATL cost around 450 the minimum total of players needed to enter are 45 and 1st place will be flown to FR19. Not only will they get a free round trip flight, but we will provide you with a hotel room at FR19 + badge/game entry. If we get 90 players in a game then 1st and 2nd place will receive the prize. How many people that are sent depends on how many attend, but in the case a game doesn't reach the 45 minimum we will cover the difference in that game so at least 1st place will still receive a round trip flight to FR19, but they will have to get their own hotel room at the FR19 venue.

I personally will take the people that qualify for the prize to the SD airport and purchase the tickets right after the event or we can do it online while they watch. Either way this is the system that has been proven over several years in japan to send players to FINAL ROUND each and every year and I feel it would work in America also. If we have gatekeepers from the east coast that win PARADISE we will buy your flight from whatever city you will fly from to FR19.

Here are the games that will qualify for the trips:

DOA5 Last Round "Battle Royale qualifier for $500
Ultra Street Fighter 4
Tekken 7 official tournament on cabs
Guilty Gear Xrd
Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3
Mortal Kombat X
Smash 4 WiiU

Each game will be $10 entry fee and online registration for badges will be $40 until online reg closes. The Emergency door registration will be $50. Online registration is up now at www.finalround.org/paradise

All team tournaments will be held on Friday, Nov 20, 2015 so they won't slow down any singles.
We also have Paradise group room rates for single and double bed rooms for $89 per night! Please reserve at

under the paradise/finalround so it will count towards our group. The venue is located in fashion valley area so there's plenty to do between pools times. There's a mall right across the street from the venue with a movie complex.

For people flying to SD for the event get on the car rental shuttle and go to the enterprise rental place. Once there the train station is a few blocks away. $2.50 gets you to fashion valley mall on the local transit train system. Once you exit the train just walk across the street away from the mall and cross a small bridge and you're at the event venue

We would like to thank our sponsors for supporting the FGC:

TEAM NINJA
MADCATZ
NAMCO

There will be drinks/food/games to be enjoyed at the pre party! This is a special TY to the FGC from MADCATZ for supporting their products over the years.

Paradise2k15 has been cancelled due to lack of interest for the event. I had high hopes for this event, but it I guess I was out of pocket to think I could do a big west coast event as a southeast organizer. I want to thank EVERYONE that registered for the event and giving the event a chance in your mind. I'm in the process of refunding everyone that pre registered for this event. I didn't want any shady vibe coming off about the event, so I started refunding people before I made the announcement. Obviously the people i've already refunding started to talk about it.

Right now my concern and focus is on FR19. Sadly i've had more questions about FR19 than Paradise in the recent weeks. With the low pre reg numbers there was no way to reach goals/purpose of the event and that was to be able to send the winners of each game to FR19. There's been other events throughout the fgc history that has promised things and knew they couldn't follow through with payments/trips and still had the event while leaving the players hanging at the end of the event. I refuse to a shady event like that so it's better that I take the "L" on my head than to try to steal from the community I help grow for so long!

I know there will be people that will question my events in the future and I understand that will come up, but i'm here to tell everyone that Final Round ain't going anywhere as long as I can help it! Thank you for the continued support and I apologies to the SD community for not being able to bring a major event to your wonderful city!
