The home of RAJ, the country's largest Japanese arcade gaming event and tournament, hosted by @TokyoAttack

Today we were given what we feel is the right option, and we took it.

RAJ 2020 is officially cancelled.

There is just no way to safely run this event, and there is absolutely no way we'd be willing to put the community at risk of exposure.

[Royal Arcade Jam @royalarcadejam]

We know everyone has been waiting for an update during this trying time, and we want to thank you all for your patience. We have been monitoring what has been going on with the pandemic since March, and working with the Hyatt closely regarding what our options were.

I've still got a few to go (damn my upload speed) but if you're waiting for the second half of some things, you can click Subscribe and enable the bell icon to know when they drop. (cont)

We had 436 total entrants across all games in the FGC side of RAJ this year, with 260 actual unique entrants.

For our 2nd year, this is huge. Thank you for attending. 🥳

@Heavyrainfal @CoOptedPlays @NoGoodCitizen and @CoOptedPlays both did fantastic in addressing and correcting the issues. We're beyond lucky to have them both.

We can't stress this enough. RAJ is an event put on by a lot of people purely for the community, and it wouldn't be what it is today without everyone you see here and countless others

Shout-outs to all the groups, organizations, and business that make @royalarcadejam happen!

Thank you!

@bmiller483 We are aware of this. The original poster confessed to this being a hoax and they are in contact with the police atm. Police are on site at the Hyatt this weekend also.
