Thank you all for the feedback! We're exploring our options to see if can bring in Bemani games and hopefully a ITG machine for 2015.

Thank you for posting feedback and I'm really sorry to hear what happened with the tournament. To my knowledge from Con, I thought we did have one of our staffers updating a PS3 to the latest version of the game. If that was not the case, we apologize for poor overall tournament quality, mis-communication, and rude conduct of our staffers that occurred.

Going forward for 2015, we will be making sure all of our Console and PC Gaming tournaments are running the latest version, patch, or otherwise. It can be a little tricky when the developer decides to drop a patch right on Day-Zero and none of us are aware about it until someone informs us.

In regards to having a mini tournament, we want to keep all tournaments and events inside the Gaming Hall (Hall 3) official and staff-ran to prevent confusion to the attendees. We do this to make sure everything is being run on legal and non-modified equipment, and more importantly keep it fair. I understand this was not the case - we will make sure we are better prepared. We're ok with attendees giving us assistance to run the tournament, as long they have Games Management Team approval on-site and no problems occur.

Again, thank you for the feedback and like Ewu said, we will be reaching out to Lab Zero for 2015.
