Small disclaimer just like last year:
"OK PEOPLE I MADE THIS THREAD 10 MONTHS BEFORE THE TOURNAMENT IS SUPPOSE TO BE THROWN! I HOPE THIS IS ENOUGH WARNING NOT TO PUT ANOTHER MAJOR TOURNAMENT DURING OR AROUND THE SAME DATE AS (FRXI)!"
1st of all, I would like to thank all of the people that support the FR tournaments for the past 12 years and support the ATL South scene before if was even call the ATL South division when you attend FR3-FR5. I've met so many people over the past 12 years of running FR. My dreams of having a major tournament in the southeast region has come true and it couldn't have happend without you guy's supporting the FR tournaments back in the day.
Alot of people in the ATL South don't get the chance to travel around the nation to play against top players, so FR is an outlet for them to play the best in the southeast and hopefully other regions top players will come down to the dirty south. With the help of the community supporting (Final Round) every year it has grown into one of the best tournaments in the usa! The history of FINAL ROUND is based on the"Console Warriors" style tournament.
But with me growing up learning to play fighters in the arcades. I've always want to keep that old school tournament feeling with FR tournaments. That's why we have some old school capcom games that will be played only on an arcade cabinet at Final Round. We can't forget our roots and I won't let people forget how we use to get down and dirty! We will have atleast 3-4 arcade cabinets on games that the console version are truly not worth playing on a tournament level.
Games like ST, A2, VS, and A3 will be in arcade cabinets some having Perfect 360's joysticks, Sanwa's japanese sticks, and other's having 8 way standard switch joysticks. The arcade cabinets are donated by different players in the southeastern community. I really appreciate all of the support from those that always help out me and the southeast scene. I will put a star(*) by the games that will be on the cabinet's and the rest will be on console.
There is a entry fee that is separate from the entry fee to each tournament. FRXII entry fee is "$30". (This fee is to pay for the VENUE fee, BADGES, NEW JOYSTICKS AND BUTTONS FOR ARCADE MACHINES, and FRXII PIMP CUPS) Like always say I need FRXII to pay for itself.
OFFICIAL SIGN UP'S FOR BADGES START AT 9:30AM ON MARCH 13, 2009!
unofficial sign up's will be on Thursday March 12, 2009 around 9pm like we did for frxi the day before the event.
The extra day was added to FR because people wanted to run team tournaments during main tournament times. This held up some of the tournaments due to people playing in multiple single and team tournaments! Adding the extra day will solve a lot of tournament conflicts imo.
The games, how much, and the days that will be played are as followed:

3v3 Team tournaments are held on Friday March 13, 2009. $5 a head, 3v3 round robin team tournament 70/20/10. Also you can't use the same characters in that team. If one of your teammates uses a character you can't use that character. That's the set up for all team tournaments. No multi character use.
"ALL Team Tournament's will be held on Friday!
Rules: All game Double Elim.--Best 2 out of 3
On all console tournament games:
This is a (B.Y.O.C. = Bring Your Own Controller/converter or Joystick) tournament for all of the console games being played at FRXI. You are responsible for your equipment and we will not supply anyone with a controller or converter at this tournament for any console tournament. I won't supply anymore converter's for finalround. I'm tired of getting my stuff stolen by some people that don't have any home trainning.:lame:
If you hit the start button or a malfunction in your equipment happens during a
match that makes the game pauses or resets during a tournament match get the head judge in charge of running that tournament to decide what will happen next for that match. Replays are automatic if it's at the beginning of the match and you have played 5-10 seconds in the game with no one having an advantage in the match. It's not my problem if "YOUR STICK" malfunction's during a tournament. I WILL BE THE FINAL SAY ON ANY PROBLEMS THAT MY TOURNAMENT JUDGES CAN'T RESOLVE!
I have had alot of email's about "button shouldering/mapping" in certain genre of games. I don't believe in them due to me growing up playing 2d fighters in the arcade's. I want to keep FinalRound as close to arcade perfect as I can, but this isn't the way that most namco 3d players view button shouldering gameplay. So I came up with this solution:
"Button shouldering" will "NOT" be allowed at FRX in the following games:
All capcom 2d fighters, Tekken6, and all snk fighters
(THAT MEANS IF YOU RESET YOUR BUTTONS YOU MUST PUT THE DEFAULT MULTI-BUTTONS ON BLANK!!!) So that mean you won't have your 3xkick button, or 3xpunch button. This applies to snk games also. Any default presets that are NOT like the arcade set up are not allowed. If you don't have a 3x punch or kick button in the arcade then you won't use it at FRX! We are trying to make it as close to arcade type tournament as possible and NO button mapping the traditional way to play capcom and snk games IMO. I don't care where you put them on your controler/joystick but you should only have the following buttons input's for the following games:
Capcom games that are on consoles will have only 6 button inputs allowed on your controller/joystick and they are:
1. Jab punch=light punch
2. Strong punch=medium punch
3. Fierce punch=hard punch
4. Short kick=light kick
5. forward kick=medium kick
6. roundhouse kick=hard punch
SNK-Playmore games on console inputs that are allowed:
1. Light punch
2. Heavy punch
3. Light kick
4. Heavy kick
"Button Shouldering/mapping" "Will" be allowed for SC4.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any Team Tournament rules: You "CAN NOT" have 2 people using the same character on your team. So you better make your team wisely.
If you are playing in multiple games you need to notify a organizer when you are about to play in another game, so they can skip your match on the brackets and come back to you after you completed the other tournament match.
Also once the tournament starts you are responsible for knowing when your next match will come up. If you have to go for a food or bathroom break, then "PLEASE" notify the judge at your station or "me" that you will be gone for a few minutes. The judge should beable to tell you when your next game will be and how long you have before your next match up. Just act like you have been to a tournament before people and everything will run smoothly.
Anyone that get's out of line inside or outside of the hotel will force me to call the police on you. Keep that "B.S." online or at home. I don't care where you keep it just don't bring that drama to FRXII. Act like you have some home training people. I don't want to break up any more arguements over dumb stuff!
I have 50 rooms reserved for people/groups that are attending FRXII. We need these rooms sold for that weekend since the hotel was nice enough to hold those rooms at a reduced rate for everyone attending FRXII. So if you are reserving a ROOM at the hotel for FINAL ROUND, MAKE SURE YOU TELL THE HOTEL STAFF YOU ARE WITH THE FINAL ROUND GROUP We have a discounted rate set up for you guys, just like we did last year. When you call up the hotel, don't just say you want to reserve a room, say you want to reserve a room for FINAL ROUND. The 2 queen size beds in 1 room are $89.99 when you tell them your with the Finalround group. If you have 4 people that would be only $22.25 each day for the hotel room.
I'm working on a tv sponsership, but if anyone is willing to bring a tv+system I WILL PAY for your badge and 1 game entry! You can never have too many tv's+systems imo at a console tournament! Make sure they aren't TV's with lag. You maybe use to playing on them, but if they have lag I can't use them due to everyone will complain playing on them! We will test them out before we give you the badge.
There are 2 other games that are up for increase in entry fee's and that's 3S and GGXX(AC), but I wanted to get some feedback from the community as a whole to see if i'm going to increase those games also. The Tekken and smash communities asked for the increase in this years events. I can't wait to see you guy's again. I'm already hyped!:woot::nunchuck:
Better practice up and tighten up your skills because FRXII will be here before you know it shawty.
hina:
I need people to vote on this subject.
Anyone that plans on entering the ssbb tournament needs to make sure they sign up no later than friday night, because i'm trying to start that tournament at 10am sharpe on sat march 14, 2009!

Stages not listed on the random select list that are not banned are open for counter picks by the losing player.
No stage may be used twice in a Best of 3 or Best of 5 Series unless agree upon by both players.
After characters have been selected for the first game, each player/team may choose one stage from the available tournament list that won’t be used during the series.
After each game of a series, the player who lost the previous game may choose the stage for the next game or elect for it to be chosen randomly. After the stage has been selected, the winner of the previous game may change characters. After the winner has chosen their character, the loser of the previous game may change characters

Any Team Tournament rules: You "CAN NOT" have 2 people using the same character on your team. So you better make your team wisely.
If you are playing in multiple games you need to notify a organizer when you are about to play in another game, so they can skip your match on the brackets and come back to you after you completed the other tournament match.
Also once the tournament starts you are responsible for knowing when your next match will come up. If you have to go for a food or bathroom break, then "PLEASE" notify the judge at your station or "me" that you will be gone for a few minutes. The judge should beable to tell you when your next game will be and how long you have before your next match up. Just act like you have been to a tournament before people and everything will run smoothly.
Anyone that get's out of line inside or outside of the hotel will force me to call the police on you. Keep that "B.S." online or at home. I don't care where you keep it just don't bring that drama to FRXII. Act like you have some home training people. I don't want to break up any more arguements over dumb stuff!
I have 50 rooms reserved for people/groups that are attending FRXII. We need these rooms sold for that weekend since the hotel was nice enough to hold those rooms at a reduced rate for everyone attending FRXII. So if you are reserving a ROOM at the hotel for FINAL ROUND, MAKE SURE YOU TELL THE HOTEL STAFF YOU ARE WITH THE FINAL ROUND GROUP We have a discounted rate set up for you guys, just like we did last year. When you call up the hotel, don't just say you want to reserve a room, say you want to reserve a room for FINAL ROUND. The 2 queen size beds in 1 room are $89.99 when you tell them your with the Finalround group. If you have 4 people that would be only $22.25 each day for the hotel room.
I'm working on a tv sponsership, but if anyone is willing to bring a tv+system I WILL PAY for your badge and 1 game entry! You can never have too many tv's+systems imo at a console tournament! Make sure they aren't TV's with lag. You maybe use to playing on them, but if they have lag I can't use them due to everyone will complain playing on them! We will test them out before we give you the badge.
There are 2 other games that are up for increase in entry fee's and that's 3S and GGXX(AC), but I wanted to get some feedback from the community as a whole to see if i'm going to increase those games also. The Tekken and smash communities asked for the increase in this years events. I can't wait to see you guy's again. I'm already hyped!:woot::nunchuck:
Better practice up and tighten up your skills because FRXII will be here before you know it shawty.hina:I need people to vote on this subject.
Anyone that plans on entering the ssbb tournament needs to make sure they sign up no later than friday night, because i'm trying to start that tournament at 10am sharpe on sat march 14, 2009!
