Registration: Please make sure to be at Game Pazzo on time for check-in and registration. Venue registration will be handled on the day of the event at the front counter. Individual game tournament registration will be able to be done online or at the venue on the day of the event. If possible, we would prefer that you register in advance online. It ensures that we are able to make the brackets as fair as possible as far as regional seeding and also ensures the tournaments will begin on time without delays. Last minute registration for tournaments will still be available the day of the event for those who decide to enter a game they were on the fence about. I will be posting more information very soon about advanced tournament registration payment.

Saturday Schedule:
11:00 AM: Game Pazzo opens. On-sight tournament registration begins. You may start playing casuals.
12:00 PM: Tournaments begin. SSFIV and Marvel will have pools and they will start at 12:00, 3:00 and 6:00. Other games will have traditional brackets. Specific start times for other games will be posted later.
3:00 AM: Game Pazzo closes. Time to go drink/play money matches/sleep somewhere else
Sunday Schedule:
11:00 AM: Game Pazzo opens.
12:00 PM: Some tournaments start, more specific details to come.
9:00 PM: Game Pazzo closes. We plan to have all tournaments finished before then. If necessary, they will stay open later until everything finishes but we plan to finish well before 9:00 PM in consideration for those people who need to travel far to get home.
Game tournament entry fees: Every game tournament will be $10 to enter for each player. Team tournaments will be $10 for each person (so a 3 player team would be $30).
Prize split for all games (not includeing pot bonuses): 1st - 70%, 2nd - 20%, 3rd - 10%
Pot Bonuses: Each game may have different pot bonuses (some may have none). Distribution and amount will vary based on game. This section will be updated as more pot bonuses are announced.
Guilty Gear XX AC+R Singles: $800 pot bonus for 1st place. (provided by ElvenShadow and Game Pazzo.)
Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition 2012: $300 pot bonus for first place! (provided by Game Pazzo.)
Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3: $300 pot bonus for first place! (provided by Game Pazzo.)


In addition, the game with the next highest amount of entrants will get an extra another $100 pot bonus for first place! Support your games and sign up ASAP!

More prize announcements to come soon!


General Singles Tournament rules: All games will follow the community standard tournament rules that you would expect them to. Glitches, stages and characters that are banned in their respective games in most respected majors will also be banned at FFVI. There will be specific rules posted for each game soon. All single tournaments are 2/3 except for UMvC3 which will be 3/5. Semi finals and Grand finals for all singles tournaments are 3/5. Grand finals for Guilty Gear singles will be 4/7. All singles tournaments are double elimination. Winner must keep the same character, loser may switch characters. You may select a different character if you are fighting a new opponent. Rapid fire settings on buttons are banned for all controlers in all games. Wireless controlers are banned. If you want to use a wireless pad or stick, you must plug it in.
Pot Splitting: There has been a lot of drama about pot splitting in the FGC lately. This has never been a problem at Frosty Faustings before. What you do with the prize money is your own business, but all finals should be played out seriously out of respect for the community and the people watching the stream. This is about the spirit of competition and respect. Please bring your A game until you win the tournament or are defeated.

Request for Setups: Frosty Faustings is a community driven event and the event planning staff does not make profit aside from any tournament winnings. As such, all of the consoles and games are provided by the community and tournament attendees. Please bring any consoles and games that are on the tournament list. The more setups we have, the faster things run and the more time there will be for matches. We VERY MUCH appreciate your help! (we are looking into venue discount options for people who bring consoles games and monitors.)

Casuals area and side tournaments: There will be some space to set up casuals and side tournaments. If you plan to run a side tournament, please inform me first.

Ah man I didn't pre-reg but I wanna hit this up. Am I shut out if someone takes that 16th spot?

Either way, is there any indication of what time Skullgirls will start/end? Just trying to figure out what's up with time frame on that day.
 
What? There's no lockout on number of entrants. Schedule will hopefully come soon now that pre reg is over
 
Ah, legit then, I thought I saw something on Twitter about tourneys getting capped. Thanks then, can't wait until then!

The only brackets that may get capped are mystery game and team tournaments, all singles brackets for everything but mystery are uncapped.
 
Also, we need setups! @Night Phyre has got us one, and we can certainly use more!
 
Top 4 is soon that's suppose to be on stream we ran pretty slow
 
HYPEST MOMENT FOR REAL: LOSER'S FINALS.

La Sombra wins round 5 with Valentine lvl 5 revive comeback. But I think the technical issues near the end wiped the stream, I don't see it on twitch :`(

EDIT: nvm, here it is, at 1:17:45 (commentary starts at 49:15, gameplay itself starts at 50:25)

GG's everyone! It was a super great time tonight. I still need to clean up my play. Let's just keep building!
 
Where's the last part of the finals?
 
Now that I thought about it, I'm pretty sure something like this has happened before at GP.
