Shin, I am one of the Utah guys. Just want to double check MK9 is going to happen on Sunday. One of our guys who plays MK9 only might fly out Saturday instead of Friday so he is worried it might get moved to Saturday or Friday.
Yes MK9 is on sunday. West Coast MK9 will be in the house.
Check out FRcast on @justintv http://www.justin.tv/shinblankaatl with special guest FilthieRich on the show tonight at 9pm est/6pm pst. #FRXV
There is only **53 DAYS **until FINAL ROUND 15 and only 42 days until online registration is closed! Make sure you pre register for badges and games at http://www.finalround.org/FRXV/index.cfm and reserve your room under the Final Round group rate at https://www.starwoodmeeting.com/StarGroupsWeb/booking/reservation?id=1109065066&key=7A7BA
FINAL ROUND 15 will be here before you know it people! Pre registering online is the only way you will assure yourself proper placement in the brackets away from people you normally play against. If you walk up at the door on friday to register you will be place in the next availible spot. If that spot is against your hommie that you traveled with then oh well.
(players will be placed/seperated in the brackets by area “State/City”, and Skill level “Last years placing at FR and other tournaments rankings” when they pre reg online)
The main reason we have the online pre-register option is to get as many people prepaid, so we can make the brackets 2 days prior to the event. With brackets already made this allows us to start the event ON TIME instead of 2-3 hours late! The most reason any tournament starts late is because of the at the door/event registration and making brackets after the majority of people have signed up at the event instead of online. Please help us make FINAL ROUND run as smoothly as possible by pre-registering online. It’s also cheaper to pre reg online than pay at the door/event registration, so it’s just better for you as the gamer to pre-reg online if you know you are attending FR15!

Quick question: Is it possible to sign up for games AFTER I preregister online? I’d like to be able to sign up for Skullgirls if it does make it in as an official tournament game, but want to pay for my badge right now.
me too.
Yes you can pay for your badges and the pay for a game later.
you need to pm me your phone # sir.
Registered!
Done.
ok i’m about to call you.
Thanks again for making this tourney one of the best in the country.
On to the obligatory questions.
ST: I am assuming this will be a side tourney? Will your cabinet be there this year? If 3rd SO is on console can we use the cab for ST/A2 the whole weekend? I know fools like A2 as well. I am not good at running brackets but, I can bring extra buttons and switches as back-up for your cabinet. I will also look after the machine as if it was my own. You know that Larry and it’s one less thing for you to worry about.
Hotel Room: Does anyone have a hotel room where I can crash? I am complete tournament veteran. I am clean. I don’t snore and I am a heavy sleeper. I will pay up front and I always share :woot: what I have.
PM me or whatevers…
Aw man, I don’t know if I’m going to be able to attend this year. Since I use a normal PS3 controller, I’ve got to buy a new wired fightpad for the tournament. Hopefully I can earn a few extra bucks this month, I DEFINITELY don’t want to miss this!
Get hype everybody! 
Yea the Cab can switch between ST and A2 all weekend long. If you want to do a side tournament it will have to be on friday. We (as FR staff) will not collect tournament fee’s for any side tournaments/team tournaments. The community players will be handling all of that.
Vegas is on it’s way, finally. There will be at least two of us, possibly more. I just want to know who can point us towards the better strip clubs in ATL.
That would be scott popular! Just ask Jason Cole or Ricky O about last year when they went.
Oh Yea, what games are you guys going to be playing?
Likely just KOF13 and whatever is available on the side, like ST, A2, mvc2, maybe others. Can’t wait.
ok cool, 49 DAYS UNTIL FINAL ROUND XV and only 38 days to register online and get your hotel room at the FR15 group rate!
We’ll have raffles/giveaways for some TE stick at the event and online. You need to follow https://twitter.com/#!/ATLfinalround to qualify for the giveaways. Also anything you mention/tweet about FINAL ROUND XV please use #FRXV at the end of your tweet! I want to see if we can get #FRXV to trend number one during that weekend!

I’m in there, and I’m dragging bellreisa kicking and screaming with me.
Larry if you need any backup CPS2/misc arcade boards I might be able to fit them in my bags beforehand, just hit me up in the meetings.
