FINAL ROUND XV March 2-4, 2012 "The 15th Aniversary"

[ShinBlanka]

Hi, I'm not sure if this was mentioned already and sorry if it was (I skimmed through the thread and checked the site too) but do you guys know the best way to get from ATL airport to the hotel? I google mapped it and it seemed kinda far....I'd like to avoid taking a cab but if necessary, do you know an estimate of how much? X (

Hey man the easiest way to geto the hotel from the airport is to take the local transit system. Our train is called MARTA. It cost $2.50 to ride and there is a station with a train at the airport that will take you to the hotel. Check out the following website for location of stations and where you have to goto.

http://www.itsmarta.com/ns-med-overview.aspx this is for the medical center and it's the closer out of the 2 stations. The shortest to walk from if you can't get a shuttle.

http://www.itsmarta.com/ns-dun-overview.aspx

This is a spot for a major atlanta mall so you might get distracted by the ATL females on the train and going towards the mall.

There are 2 MARTA stations within a mile of the event hotel and you can call the hotel shuttle to pick you up from the train station if you have a room booked under the Final Round group rate. I hope this helps you out sir.

Also I have another annoument to make:

I don't know who is staying at the hotel during FINAL ROUND XV or not but just to let you guys know if you haven't got your rooms at the hotel you better get them quickly because there's ONLY 28% of the rooms left under the FRXV group rate! ($93 per night) Anything after that and I can't promise I can get more rooms released under that rate since this is a new hotel i'm in this year! With only 36 days until the event, 25 days for online registration is closed, and only 22 days to get your rooms at the FR group rate. Here's the link to the onlin reg and the hotel room reservations:

FRXV will be here before you know it people! I HAVE SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH to reveal in the next few days for this event! Keep your eyes peeled for the newest official promotional trailer for FRXV! Get hyped because The 15th Anniversay is shaping up to be an event not to miss!

you are correct. Wireless controllers are banned from tournament play due to the masses of people that fail to unsync them during tournament play. There are atleast 5 times this happens per day when you allow wireless controllers in the tournament that matches have been effected due to lazy people. I may have some wired controllers for rent at frxv

Aw, hell. It sucks for those of us who are responsible, but I understand the inevitability of stuff like that happening. I'll try to familiarize myself with the wired Afterglow in February. Thanks for the response Shin.

NP man.

also---I've had a couple of people notify me that the double bed rooms were sold out for the FRXV group rate. I called the hotel and they just added 10 double rooms to the block. You better grab them fast people because after that only single king size rooms will be availible for the FRXV group rate.

I have s special announcement for the people that plan to book their hotel rooms at the event hotel just before they attended FRXV. As of right now we are SOLD OUT of the rooms I had within my group block. I have contacted the hotel to try to get some more rooms released before our purposed deadline of Feb 16, 2012. I will update you on how many rooms are released or IF they are released under the Final Round group rate as soon as I find out. Here's a link to the site with the normal pricing:

There's only 19 days left for online registration! You don't want to be that person that has to stand in that long line of people that didn't pre pay online. Trust me that line SUCKS! Here's the link to register for FRXV:

Copying this over from the other thread:

Hello everyone,

I would first like to apologize for the hotel booking issue's several people have had over the past few weeks. There are more rooms available at the event hotel at the FINAL ROUND XV Group rate of $93 per night even though we have sold out of the original amount of rooms nights available for our group. Do not use the online service anymore as this seems to be the main problem with people booking rooms for FRXV. Please call the following number and reserve your rooms for FRXV:

Deanna Judkins : Sales Manager at The Westin

770-395-3902

Please call between 9am-4pm est Monday--Friday to reserve your room.

If anyone has be told over the phone that the rooms for the Final Round group rate are sold out and was forced to reserve a room at another rate then please notify me and call Mrs. Judkins to get your reservation corrected. Thank you for your support and there's only 10 days until the FRXV group room rate is gone.

If you Online register this will help the tournament START ON TIME!!!!!!! We can also get the brackets/pool assignments out quicker if the majority of the players register online. The main 2 things that delay any tournament are:

1: at the door registration

2: team tournament running late.

lets eliminate the big lines at the door for registration please people.
