@ShinBlanka - question...I was doing some research on how close the airport is from the hotel and I've noticed that it's 30 mins away, without traffic.
Would you happen to know if the hotel, from previous events, provides a shuttle service for their guest from the airport to the hotel and back? It would REALLY help my funds in case I make this.
Thanks in advance!

Well the public transit system called MARTA only cost $2.75-$3.00 1 way trip to the hotel. The train stop is only a 1/2 mile away from the hotel and the hotel has a shuttle that will pick you up from the train station if you're staying at the hotel for the event.
 
With the new year upon us there is only 60 DAYS until FINAL ROUND 15! Make sure you pre register for badges and games at http://www.finalround.org/FRXV/index.cfm and reserve your room under the Final Round group rate at https://www.starwoodmeeting.com/StarGroupsWeb/booking/reservation?id=1109065066&key=7A7BA
FINAL ROUND 15 will be here before you know it people! Pre registering online is the only way you will assure yourself proper placement in the brackets away from people you normally play against. If you walk up at the door on friday to register you will be place in the next availible spot. If that spot is against your hommie that you traveled with then oh well.
(players will be placed/seperated in the brackets by area "State/City", and Skill level "Last years placing at FR and other tournaments rankings" when they pre reg online)
The main reason we have the online pre-register option is to get as many people prepaid, so we can make the brackets 2 days prior to the event. With brackets already made this allows us to start the event ON TIME instead of 2-3 hours late! The most reason any tournament starts late is because of the at the door/event registration and making brackets after the majority of people have signed up at the event instead of online. Please help us make FINAL ROUND run as smoothly as possible by pre-registering online. It's also cheaper to pre reg online than pay at the door/event registration, so it's just better for you as the gamer to pre-reg online if you know you are attending FR15!
