FINAL ROUND XIV

Friday, March 11, 2011 - Sunday, March 13, 2011

Location Hilton Atlanta Airport
1031 Virginia Avenue
Atlanta, GA


It's on once again people to bring to you the 14th installment of the longest running Fighting game tournament on the east coast! That's right folks Final Round is back for another year and this year we are going to make this an event you won't want to miss. We are moving to a new location for FR14. (i'm sorry justin Wong there's no tofu house near the new location) The Hilton Ballroom is a serious upgrade from the old hotel ballroom.

We have a EMS member "Scott Popular" aka "Negro Install" running a japanese ranbat tournament called FinalRoundBats and the winner of the finalroundbats in SSF4 will represent Japan at FR14. Great players like tokido and mago are recent winners of finalroundbats and I can't wait to see who comes to FR14.

There's are only 5 games (out of 8 ) that are comfirmed.

Tekken6
Super StreetFighter 4
BlazeBlu:CS
MeltyBlood:AA
SF2ST HDremix

Fugee spoke to Larry and he gave the OK for UMK3/MK2 to be ran at Final Round 14. Friday is going to be the only open day for them because SSF4, Tekken and MVC3 are probably going to eat up SAT&SUN. They are planning on running 2 streams this year and he said UMK3 will get some love on one of them.

FR2011 will not have more than 8 official games played this year. That doesn't mean there won't be a slight chance for unofficial games at FR14, but most likely only team tournaments will be added outside of the 8 official games. All team tournaments and unofficial tournaments will only happen on FRIDAY!

This year we are very excited to have TEAM SPOOKY as the our streaming host for FR14. The quality and production of their streams are well known throughout the FGC and now they will be broadcasting FR14 for all of the stream monsters! Get hyped!!!!!!!!!

It's time to get HYPED!!!!!

http://www.finalround.org/ Click the link to the left or go under the "Events" option at the top to get to the FR14 Sub Menu and click "Register." Registration is pretty much the same as last year except for a few key points:

1) We are now taking pre-reg for GAMES AND BADGES!

2) THERE WILL BE NO REGISTRATION DURING THE EVENT ON SATURDAY OR SUNDAY THIS YEAR. We're trying to expedite all of this to make it a little easier for everyone. The only line you'll have to wait in is the one to get your badge, which will be the same one to get into the event, which should now move way faster! There will be a registration period on Friday from 9am until 12:00 NOON, so if you can't get access to PayPal or a credit or debit card to pay securely online, you will have to register at the door on Friday! So pre-register online ASAP!

3) There is no more "pre-reg" list, as now in order to pre-register, you must also pay. We will start a "Who's Coming" thread in the forums to serve this purpose.

As usual, this is a manual process, so please allow up to 48 hours for your status to update - you will be able to see what games you have pre-registered and paid for. Contact me on the forums or through PM if there are any questions. Thanks!

Also be advised that we have an "EARLY BIRD" special entry badge fee of $25.00 (at the door will be $40) going on until October 31, 2010. Please take advantage of this great deal for your entry badges for FR14 while it still last. Holloween will be here before you know it folks! FR14 will be here before you know it and the hype is starting to build. Don't miss out on the start of the 2011 Major Tournament season at FR14! See ya in March Shawty!

I will try my hardest to be there, so if I can, we'll do Mame. COME ON PEEPS, LETS SUPPORT UMK3 and JUGGS TOO!!!
 

AC1984

Kaballin!
cool shit!!!! too soon after WB but I might try to come, also I'll push Rolltide and GodlenOreos to go. Also GA is like more than half the road for Marvin to go.
 
Hopefully you guys can make it. And yeah I'm assuming Marv will be more likely to go than you guys since it's not too far for him. Considering he drove from FL to PA last weekend.
 

AC1984

Kaballin!
Juggs, the only way for me to come to FR in March is simply to skip WB....the problem is that I already requested the last weekend from FEB off from work.
 

AC1984

Kaballin!
I'll actually try and make it to this. I'll try to figure out budget and stuff and hopefully take the time off from work.

It would be great if you could make it!

This will really be the first time UMK3 has been at a tournament in the SE, and it's at a major!! I know there's bunch of players hiding here in the SE, time to go treasure hunting to find them.

btw, updated list for hustle and sugar.

if LI Joe comes, I know he has a 360 stick, and if Tim goes he has one as well, but I can always get my sticks to John or Joe him to bring there. I'm very excited about this guys.

Looking good already folks. Let's start getting a list of names, and perhaps check other threads for players who say they are coming.
 
who's going?
Don't know specifics, just heard people talking about getting a car together. It might need to be two cars though, sounded like a lot of interest.

I would consider myself 50/50 right now, but I'll know for sure once I cost out how much it will be total.

If anyone is coming down and is familiar with running a tournament, please let me know. Also, any advice is greatly appreciated.
 
Wow, big names so far. Throw my name on the list, I'm going to do everything in my power to be there.

This is looking like it could be the next really huge UMK event after NEC and winter brawl (which I assume will also be big for UMK). Can't wait.

*Tim, Fugge, and Myself can all help run the tourney or give advice. Let us know what you need. I can also supply a Mame setup, whether I go or not.

pm me if you think you'll need it and I'll make arrangements for it to be there either way.

i would love to go to this but i cannot see paying 40 bucks just for a fuckin venue fee to pay some japanese SSF4 players plane ticket
 
I guess if you think $40 isn't worth three days of meeting new people and gaming around the clock then it's probably not gonna be your thing.

I know I can't speak for you personally, but I think some people might be put off by the venue fee at first, but I rarely meet anyone who doesn't end up having a blast at an event like this.

The venue fees at three day majors weren't too much lower even before they started flying in big time players.
 
im all for driving up and hanging out with you guys and playing casuals in a hotel room or something, its only 30 minutes or so away from me

i just really dont like the current vibe of the fighting game tourney scene and would rather not support things like that
