If we live in the area would it be possible to attend the 29th and leave and come back the next day for finals or is it recommended we rent a hotel room?

If you live close then by all means you can come back the following day, but the majority of the fun at a live event like FR16 is to go from floor to floor looking to play people from around the usa in the games you love to play. Trust me when I say if you can get a hotel room you might want to because you will probably not want to leave. People have casuals and they are playing all day and night when the tournament has ended for the day. If you want to save money then you can come back each day and drive home. I bet you will end up staying up all night playing against new players you meet at FR16. At least one day. lol

I would like to WELCOME TEAM NINJA to the FINAL ROUND family as our latest sponsor. I would like to personally thank Tom Lee for spearheading this effort for the DOA5 community as TEAM NINJA will be donating $5000 towards the top 8 qualifiers at FR16! There's more exciting news coming for the hypest tournament in the MILKY WAY!!!! there's only 3 days until online registration is closed! Goto www.finalround.org and register for your badge and games today! Also there's only 12 hours until the FR16 group rate is closed. Don't spend extra money when you don't have too.

If you haven't online registered for the HYPEST event in the FGC (FINAL ROUND 16) then you only have until 12 midnight PST or 3am EST to do so. I'm extending it for the west coast people i've received emails from that they could register when they got off work but it wouldn't be before 12 midnight est. go to http://www.finalround.org/register.cfm and

PLEASE READ THE TEXT IN RED BEFORE YOU TRY... TO REGISTER!!!!!!!! IT HAS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR YOU TO READ TO COMPLETE YOUR ONLINE REGISTRATION JUST IN CASE YOU GET A 405 ERROR WHILE REGISTERING.

You also have only 2 hours 17 minutes to book your hotel room under the FINAL ROUND group rate. If you wait you will be paying $150 per night instead of 113 per night. Goto http://www.finalround.org/location.cfm and get your room before the rate is done!

There's been a flood of players registering today and we appreciate everyone that is coming to FR16

Online registration for FR16 is now closed as of 9:00 AM EST on 3/16/2013. If you registered between 3/13/2013 and this morning, your name should show up in the system under "Player Schedule" by 11:59 pm on Sunday 3/17/2013. There was an overwhelming number of registrations - thanks to all of you that chose to register online! It will save us all time and trouble at the event this year!

Emergency onsite registration will be held at the venue on Thursday, 3/28/2013 from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm and on Friday, 3/29/2013 from 8:00 am to 12:00 noon. These are the ONLY times that onsite registration will be available, and we will only take registrations for a game while there is enough availability in the brackets, so the best bet to ensure your entry into an event is to get registered at the door as early as possible!!!

Hello everyone,

I have some very important news to tell you guys before FINAL ROUND 16 is upon you. Thanks to everyone that registered online. As of 11:30 pm EST, all registrations have now been processed in the FR registration system. PLEASE go to the "Player Schedule" link and confirm your information - if your name does not appear, or if there is a mistake, please email BobSmack at webmaster@finalround.org AS SOON AS POSSIBLE as pool creation will be starting this week.

With that being said I have to do something that i've never done before and I will have to issue caps on games to properly plan a schedule for this event. We are going to start the process of making pools this week, so by 3 days before the event we will have preliminary pools posted. Those that haven't registered online will have to register at the door on Thursday March 28 between 5pm-9pm or Friday March 29 between 8am-12noon.

After that there will not be anymore registrations taken at the door, so I advise everyone that didn't register online to try their best to get to the venue on thursday to make sure you have a chance to enter the hypest tournament in the MILKWAY!

The cap means that we think these games are either close to reaching these caps or they will equal those bracket levels once we close emergency door registration:

Ultimate MVC3: 512
Super SF4: AE v2012: 512
Tekken Tag 2: 512
Street Fighter x Tekken: 256
King of Fighters 13: 128
Persona 4 Arena: 128
Mortal Kombat 9: 128
Soul Calibur 5: 128
Dead or Alive 5: 128
Melty Blood AA: 64

Also any player that DID NOT REGISTER ONLINE WILL NOT BE SEEDED IN ANY MANNER! These are the rules!

So I received a message from CafeID that they are sending Kensouzzang, Poongko, and Knee to compete at #FR16! The GLOBAL SATURATION CONTINUES as FR16 just continues to get hyper every day that passes by! With 7 days and 18 hours left until the tournament starts who knows what will happen next. I advise anyone that can attend FR16 to attend because this is shaping up to be the most intense FR to date!
