My how times flies when you're having fun! We are back at it again for a 18th year and we aren't stopping anytime soon! There's 6 months until FINAL ROUND XVIII and the event will be here before you know it. Of course I personally would like to thank everyone in the FGC and the sponsors that have supported FINAL ROUND throughout the years because without you guys there wouldn't be any FINAL ROUND or scene! Online Registration for your games are up now and we are running an early bird registration special right now so get it while you can! ($30 for badge online while it's $50 at the door) We recommend you to register online as soon as possible to take advantage of the "Early Bird" special! You will receive a discount on the badge price based on the schedule below:

◦ $30 Player Badge if you register BEFORE November 1, 2014
◦ $40 Player Badge if you register BEFORE March 2, 2015
◦ $50 Player Badge Emergency Registration at the door unofficially on:

Thursday, March 19, 2015 - 5:00 PM EST to 9:00 PM EST
Friday, March 20, 2014 - 8:00 AM EST to 12:00 NOON EST

NOTE: EMERGENCY REGISTRATION IS NOT GUARANTEED - WE WILL ONLY ALLOW EMERGENCY REGISTRATION AS LONG AS THERE ARE AVAILABLE SPOTS LEFT IN THE BRACKETS - THE ONLY WAY TO GUARANTEE ENTRY TO THE EVENT IS TO REGISTER ONLINE!

$20 Spectator fee. Children under the age of 10 (accompanied with parent) unless they are competing are free to spectate and elderly are also free to spectate. We will also have a lost badge fee of $10 for those that miss place your badge during the event, but you must show PROOF OF PURCHASE to receive the lost badge fee. If you can not show proof of purchase you will have to pay the full emergency door fee of $50 to regain entry to the event. If you are competing in ANY singles/teams/exhibition/side tournament at FR18 YOU MUST GET A PLAYERS BADGE TO COMPETE DURING FR18!

If you don't want to be in that long registration line on Friday please preregister online as soon as you can to make sure you're entered into the game you wish to compete in at FR18. We at FINAL ROUND LLC understand that sometime you don't have the entire amount ready to pay for badges and your games at the same time, so with said you can pay for your badges right now and add the games you wish to play later at a later date before online registration closes. Please preregister at the following link:

https://finalround.wufoo.com/forms/final-round-18-registration-form/

If you that link doesn't work you would need to call the hotel to reserve a hotel room. if that is the case please call the hotel at 404-767-9000 and ask for the final round 18 group rate. They will not charge your card until you check in so don't miss out on getting your room today! Don't call the 1-800 number on the national website because they will not know about the fr group rate.

All team/Community ran events will be must held on Friday March 20 or Sunday March 22 as these are the only days we have available to run them in a timely manner. All team/exhibitions/community events must get approved by ME to be ran at FR18 period! Any "Community event" will be ran by the communities that requested their game to be played at FR18. Remember that Community event doesn't mean it won't happen. If I allow it at FR then it's a tournament regardless of the label. Hence the name EVENT in the title. We would just need some help with the systems/games and you will have an area to play and run the tournament. All community events registration will be at the door only.

Team/exhibitions/community events that are confirmed as of now are as followed:

Of course we are going to bring back the popular series "CURLEY MUSTACHE BATTLE ROYALE" 5v5 team Regional tournament. The hype of FR + CM is too powerful and I know there will be more regions/teams allowed this year! More details coming soon for this instant classic! The community ran events that have been approved are as followed:

Project M
VF5US
BB
P4U2
MvC2
ST - in the arcade room
3S - in the arcade room

We will have a BYOC room for people to play casuals during the event that spectators can play also. We will also have a FINAL ROUND Arcade thanks to Tony Majors. The same guy who brought the arcade to TFC is packing up his gear and driving to the ATL so everyone can enjoy the acrade scene! Here's a small list of games that will be at FR18:

Street Fighter 2 Super Turbo - on h2h Japanese cabinets
Street Fighter 3: 3rd strike - on h2h Japanese cabinets
Street Fighter Alpha 2 - on American stand up cab with Sanwa parts
Capcom VS SNK 2 - Japanese cab
Marvel VS Capcom 2 - Japanese cab
Samurai Showdow 2 - American stand up cab Japanese parts
Double Dragon!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and many more.

As always I really don't want people to forget the origins of the FGC, so having some type of link to the past is important to me and the arcade is where this community came from. Spectators can play casuals in the arcade.

We will have multiple streams for FR18 for those that can not attend FR18 to get a small taste of the event. We are glad to have the following streamers for FR18:

Stream #1= Team Spooky - http://www.twitch.tv/teamsp00ky
Stream #2= FunkyP - http://www.twitch.tv/funkyp
Anime = http://www.twitch.tv/sixfortyfive
Injustice = Kombatnetwork - http://www.twitch.tv/kombatnetwork
Smash stream to be announced!

We will have more updates as the months pass by so keep your eyes open for the goodies in future post! Man how times flies when you're having fun! I can't wait to see everyone and again and hopefully meet some new players in the FGC at FR18. It's on now shawty! See you guys in march.

I know normally the smash community are kinda skeptical about any tradition FGC events running smash games and I understand that. That's why I have GA's finest Smash organizers assisting me with making sure the smash events are ran to your communities standards and rule sets. At FR18 the staff that will be in charge of both smash melee and Smash 4 WiiU will be the "Tipped Off" tournament series crew headed by Michael Buchheit and Onish Jain. I'm very excited to have these guys apart of FR18 as we both approached each other months ago to help this become true. This is a long time coming and I hope this event will usher in a new era between FR and the smash community! More info like scheduling or possible exhibitions will be posted in the up coming weeks. All teams/doubles are usually on Friday so they will not cause any delay in the singles events.

This event is gonna be awesome. I really hope the South shows up to this like they did at Tipped Off!
I can only hope for half of who attended "Tipped Off" to be honest because that is the golden standard for Melee in the SE, period! My main concern is to have the event run as smoothly as possible and for the smash community to have fun during the event.

How do you sign up specifically for Smash singles/doubles? It doesn't look like there's an option on the registration page. if I sign up for Smash Wii U will I have the option later on to enter both/either singles and/or doubles? How does that work?

We don't have to register and pay twice if we want to do singles and doubles correct?
the door fee is separate from the game fee. Online registration ends in a week and it's discounted at $40. paying at the door for a badge is $50. Each game cost $10 to enter. If you just want to spectate it's $20 for the entire 3 days.
online registration for FR18 ENDS IN ONE WEEK! PLEASE go to www.finalround.org and register before it's too late! It's also one week until the hotel rate is gone also! On the top left side of is the hotel reservation and the top right is the game reservation. See you guys very soon! Who wants to qualifiy for The DOA5 Last Round Battle royal and the CAPCOM PRO TOUR? This is the first premier event for the CPT and could prove to helpful in getting the lead on the points.

You sign up for doubles at the venue with your team at the same time. Singles you go to www.finalround.org and look on the top right side of the web page and click of the register button.

I saw Project M under the community run events. Is it happening and do I need a competitor pass for those events?

ShinBlanka ShinBlanka Where do I go to register online? None of the links I found in this opening post or on the website are working.

edit: reading now that apparently I have to travel to the event first, betting on the chance that there will be enough room in the [?]-man bracket for me to register at the door? What are the chances that I drive 4+ hours to the event and be denied a bracket entry?
