Planet Zero Anime Center, a leader in Japanese eSports

How is a Houston, TX Convention center a leader in Japanese eSports? I do believe that is not the right wording, because I'm pretty sure the center doesn't contribute to the Japanese eSports scene.

But anyways, I wish I could go since I live in Texas, not too far away, but Saturday is not a do-able day for me. Good luck with the event, hope everything turns out great!

Hey guys! Sorry for not getting back to you sooner--I've been out of the country this past week (no internetz!).

...please display the registered players list again... the only suspense is how many people signed up so far.

The list will come out again soon. We had a nice spike in registered players this past week. We pulled it simply because we want everyone of all skills to feel welcome to participate. Seeing star players at the top of the list appeared to be discouraging sign-ups; the moment the list was hidden, many more people signed up. Human psychology at work.

if we signed up and our ranks jumped by like.. 40-50... are we allowed to change it? I dont play a lot but i am def suppose to be seeded at GM level D:

If you feel the need to update your B.net ranking, please use the "Contact Us" section of our website during the last week of registration. Please make sure to include all relevant information.

How is a Houston, TX Convention center a leader in Japanese eSports? I do believe that is not the right wording, because I'm pretty sure the center doesn't contribute to the Japanese eSports scene.

Well, if you were to view their website or come on-site, you would realize that "Anime Center" is somewhat of a misnomer--the place is essentially a Japanese arcade that also caters to a variety of other venues. I also think you may be confusing the anime center with the convention center that is used in April... two entirely different places. ;P

Can spectators bring a computer and use for recreational use at planet zero?

I will pass this question along to the personnel running internet. They upgraded the net specifically for this tournament--it's gonna come down to whether everything is running lag-free and also how much space we will have at our disposal. By computer, do you specifically mean laptop?

This was a website error that occurred earlier today (and was immediately fixed)--registration is still open for eight more days! Please check back--we'd love to have you on-board.

Please up-vote this tournament on Reddit by clicking here!

We are getting close to half-capacity for our competitors! Please tell everyone you know and help support this grassroots-community movement. We'll re-release a player-roster once we reach 32 players. Help us fill up--we want 64 players total for a full-tournament. :D

Really? A sudden change in the dates? I had to cancel things so I could make the qualifier after the first date change... Can we at least know how you're gonna get more people to sign up and/or get a number of how many people are signed up?

I referred the above poster to the tournament! I am a Houston local here and a old school customer of PZ very familiar with the staff, I believe this will be a great even and thanks to Quantic, Tespa, Planet-Zero, and especially Directron for sponsoring the event!

Trust me, I've tried... only TL mods can edit that list and the calendar, and they ignored my multiple, polite requests for revisions. Apparently the main guy who handles this stuff went AWOL a couple months ago and the system is almost entirely automated--once something is set, no one seems to be able to change it, even the mods. ; ; Ah well. If someone here personally knows a mod, please bring this issue to their attention.
