Lol I should have assumed it was Nov 16, since that's the next pokemon go community day. Returning registration was on the previous community day. Instead I thought they might be moving up registration dates based on previous years and thought the 9th.
Apparently there aren't many PoGO players at CCI. I said earlier in this thread that this was why I chose the 16th. That's even though I first signed on to Pokemon Go right behind MMM at the 2016 Comic Con.
