ElvenShadow Report post Posted July 11, 2014 I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause but we have decided to change the date to be one week earlier so it will now be January 24th, 2015. APEX and Ohayocon were both announced to be on January 31st and we wish to not conflict with other events to maximize attendance for all of them. I doubt anyone booked any flights yet so hopefully this does not have any negative effects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

klaww Report post Posted November 8, 2014 Awesome! Glad you confirmed the dates this early so people such as myself can request days off way in advance. Also, assuming this is the right hotel, you might want to edit in a link right under the name for convenience. http://www.ihg.com/crowneplaza/hotels/us/en/northbrook/chinr/hoteldetail Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ElvenShadow Report post Posted January 2, 2015 Pot bonus announcement (can be found on frostyfaustings.com) All official tournament games at Frosty Faustings VII will use the same basic pot structure for payout. Each tournament requires $10 to enter from each player. The entry fee money is all pooled together into what is known as the prize pot. The standard payout is as follows: 1st place: 70% of total prize pot 2nd place: 20% of total prize pot 3rd place: 10% of total prize pot Some tournaments are having a guaranteed prize pot minimum. What does this mean? No matter how many players enter a tournament with a guaranteed minimum, that amount will be paid out to the winners even in the case that entry fee money is not sufficient to cover that amount. In the case that the prize pot exceeds the minimum guaranteed amount, the prize pot will grow proportionally beyond the minimum guarantee every time an additional person enters. Games with Guaranteed $1,000 minimum prize pots: Guilty Gear Xrd singles Ultra Street Fighter IV singles In addition to the prize pot, some games will offer pot bonuses! Pot bonuses are set amounts of money in addition to the prize pot and do not follow the same rules structure. These bonuses are specified as follows: Guilty Gear Xrd singles 1st place Champions bonus: $1,700 provided by @FrostyFaustings Guilty Gear Xrd singles 2nd place bonus: $200 provided by @FrostyFaustings Guilty Gear Xrd singles 3rd place bonus: $100 provided by @FrostyFaustings Ultra Street Fighter IV singles 1st place Champions bonus: $210 provided by @WillEnglishIV Ultra Street Fighter IV singles 2nd place bonus: $60 provided by @WillEnglishIV Ultra Street Fighter IV singles 3rd place bonus: $30 provided by @WillEnglishIV Under Night In-Birth: EXE Late 1st place bonus: $100 provided by I PLAY GAMES! @Kfair_IPG www.twitch.tv/Kfair_IPG Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 1st place Champions bonus: $100 provided by @IFDhumbag www.twitch.tv/IFDhumbag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
