Ladies and gentlemen, this is an event for the history books. To start, The Fall Classic is an event put together by SweetJohnnyCage and Long Island Joe of East Coast Throwdown, ShinBlanka of Final Round, and Big Eric of Big E Gaming (Summer Jam, Northeast Championships, and Winter Brawl). We've worked together as friends for a couple years now, and we decided to give the east coast a centralized event it deserves. The Fall Classic 2013 is held at the Hilton North Raleigh in Raleigh, North Carolina. Raleigh is smack in the middle of the east coast, and close enough to drive to from just about anywhere. We welcome players from all around the USA, Canada, Mexico, and the world to The Fall Classic 2013. We want this event to last for years, so let's make it happen! It's go time!

======

Hilton North Raleigh
3415 Wake Forest Road
Raleigh, NC 27609

Hotel rooms are going FAST! Book now!

======

We'll be opening up registration for main tournament games on Monday, July 8, 2013 via www.tfctournament.com

Online registration fee will be $30 for early bird. On August 12, online registration will be bumped to $40. Emergency on-site registration will run from 8:00am-10:00am on Saturday, September 14. Venue will be $50 at the door, so pre-register ASAP! Here's what you get when you pre-register

1) Very quick check-in line as opposed to a 1 hour registration time
2) Pool assignments posted days in advance. This allows us to separate people by region. If you register on-site, there is a very high chance you'll play your friends!
3) Help the community and create a stress-free environment for all players and TOs. When you know when you're up, there's no waiting around! Come and go as you please, just come back when your pool starts!

We will be using the same ultra-efficient pool system we've been using across our events for the past couple years. By ensuring that around 16 or 32 (depending on the game) people are in each bracket, pools can run very fast and very efficiently. I will be doing brackets by hand again this year in order to better guarantee that people don't have to play 2 games at once. Since we're using smaller brackets, there will be more pools available to place players in, making sure you guys don't have to be in 2 places at once. Just report to your pool, stick around for 2-3 hours depending on how you play, and you're done! If you do have to play more than one game at a time, it is YOUR responsibility to tell your pool handler that you're in another game. If you go missing for 20 minutes because you were playing in another tournament, you might get DQ'd because the handler doesn't know where you are.

======

The games that will be held as main tournaments are as follows:

*Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition v2012 (Xbox 360) - $10
*Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 (Xbox 360) - $10
*Street Fighter X Tekken (Xbox 360) - $10
*TEKKEN Tag Tournament 2 (PS3) - $10
*INJUSTICE: Gods Among Us (Xbox 360) - $10
*Persona 4 Arena (PS3) - $10
*King of Fighters XIII (PS3) - $10
*Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate
*Soulcalibur V (PS3) - $10

If you'd like to run a tournament for other games, feel free to do so! We have PLENTY of space! To answer your questions now, there WILL be an MK9 tournament, and 3rd Strike and ST if LI Joe and SJC have anything to do with it :P. Seriously guys, if you want to run it, set it up!

If you guys have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to voice them here or shoot us a PM! Let's do this thing!!!!

Registration is open again for 48 hours! It's closing at 12:00pm EST on Thursday so get on it! www.ecthrowdown.com
#3
Few things:

4 AND A HALF HOURS LEFT TO REGISTER! www.ecthrowdown.com

There was some confusion about the bonus prize from One Frame Link. Here's a more clear explanation:

$2000 SF4
$2000 Marvel
$1000 Injustice

$1000 to the game that has the most entries, EXCLUDING SF4, Marvel, and Injustice. So that means MK9 could get it, KoF13, SCV, Persona, any other game except the 3 already getting the bonus prize from OFL.

Also, Injustice will be on Xbox 360 as mentioned last night on our social media accounts.

PRE-REGISTRATION ENDS IN 10 DAYS 9 HOURS 46 MINUTES!!!!!!!!

More hotel rooms have been added, but there is a condition attached! Since there are so few rooms left on Saturday, you can only book rooms for two days or more. So that would be Friday & Saturday (check out Sunday), Saturday & Sunday (check out Monday) or Friday-Sunday (check out Monday). I'm tyring to get Saturday-only rooms, but they won't be able to be discounted, I can almost guarantee that. If you need a room for Saturday only, I have listed other hotels in the area. You can reach the venue hotel from there via cab (shouldn't be more than $5, $10 at the absolute max). I'll let you guys know as soon as Saturday rooms are made available, but for those needing two or three day stays, go nuts!

If you haven't already gotten your room for ECT5, here's the availability in the hotel that's left. I highly advise you book now seeing as how we exceeded ECT4's numbers a few weeks ago. Again, there is no charge to your credit card until you check-in, or cancel too close to your reservation.

King Bed:
5/17: 9 rooms remaining
5/18: 12 rooms remaining
5/19: 2 rooms remaining

Double/Double Beds:
5/17: 2 rooms remaining
5/18: 3 rooms remaining
5/19: 11 rooms remaining

Suites:

Ladies and gentlemen, Joe "iloveu" Ciaramelli (AKA Long Island Joe) and John

East Coast Throwdown 4 was easily the most fun we've ever had at a tournament. The energy in that room was simply electrifying throughout the entire weekend. From the intense exhibitions between OMG itz Andre vs Unk0wn and RayRay vs Fanatiq to the nail-biting finals between Justin Wong and RayRay. And that was just Marvel!

ECT4 also marked the first tournament with international presence from Asia. AverMedia's GamerBee was in attendance last year and proved to be quite the threat in every game he entered. It was truly an honor to be able to host a legendary player such as Bruce and we'd be happy to welcome anyone from around the world to our event.

Joe and I were really pleased with the way ECT4 was run. We finally have systems in place to make sure everything runs as efficiently as possible with minimal delay. Our pre-registration system worked flawlessly and about 90% of you guys saved yourselves some dough and registered early. This allowed us to start on time and finish early. We received awesome feedback from the community and we're more than pleased to be bringing ECTV to you guys. We hope everyone who came last year will come back again for more spine-tingling excitement. The stuff we currently have in the planning stages has, and I quote from Joe himself, "the energy to bring back Jesus". So ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, we're ecstatic to present East Coast Throwdown V!

OK folks, since I clearly need some sleep, registration is back online until 11:59pm PST, as it said on the website originally. I'm really sorry for blasting everyone on Facebook and Twitter this morning. I got my days mixed up. You can go here to register as before:

http://ecthrowdown.com/?page_id=122

Again, sorry for the confusion. I'm going to bed.
#13
We're looking for about 5-6 people to help run brackets at ECT! We'll cover your venue and tournament charges and you'll be getting a staff shirt as well! We'd need your services from 11am-12am Saturday as well as 9am-4pm on Sunday. Pools will be 16 man every 2 hours, so it's nothing too challenging. We prefer those with experience, but please let us know either way!

East Coast Throwdown has been the home to some of the best Mortal Kombat kompetitions since the events began. We were the first tournament to stream Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 back in 2010 (hard to believe that was already 2 years ago) and have worked closely with the MK Kommunity on nearly every aspect of East Coast Throwdown. These guys are the definition of die-hard fans. It is because of this dedication and respect that they have for their games as well as this tournament that we always try our hardest to give back to them. It is for this reason that we are ecstatic to announce that WB Games and NetherRealm Studios will be providing prizes for East Coast Throwdown 4!

WB Games and NetherRealm Studios have been more than dedicated to the community supporting their games and have shown nothing but respect for them over this past tournament season. Tournaments are a huge reason why so many games are kept alive and to acknowledge this, WB Games and NetherRealm Studios will be throwing in an extra $1,000 to the tournament pot for Mortal Kombat!

We are very happy to have these guys on board this year with East Coast Throwdown 4 and we hope that this is the beginning of a great relationship. Let’s hear it for WB Games and NetherRealm Studios!

WB Games and NetherRealm Studios are prize providers only and are in no way involved in the creation, execution, administration or fulfillment of the tournament.

================================================

Someone on SRK asked if filming was allowed at the event. We HIGHLY encourage this, so be sure your camera batteries are charged!

=================================================

Alright guys, 27 days left to pre-register. Save $15 now because on-site emergency registration ends at 10:30am Saturday. Also, there are rooms at the venue hotel for Saturday and Sunday night. We're working on getting room blocks with neighboring hotels so we'll update you with that once we know more. Go to www.ecthrowdown.com to take care of everything you need!
