While events such as seminars and tournaments are scheduled, open gaming never closes.  \nGame Tournaments and Events  \nThe various Tournaments and Events being held at this convention are listed in the pages of this program in their own event schedules. Tournaments and Events have been broken down into sections (Board Games, Collectible Games, General Events, etc.), each with its own special information under the appropriate headings in the program.  \nCommon Rights of Event Officials  \nTo clarify the authority of the tournament judges and event gamemasters (collectively GMs), this convention grants its officials these rights.  \n1. GMs may modify game rules as necessary by announcement prior to commencement of the tournament or event.  \n2. GMs may adjudicate a winner when time allotted for the completion of the round has elapsed.  \n3. As necessary, GMs may take appropriate action to ensure sportsmanlike play and fairness in the tournament and event.  \n4. If a tournament draws fewer than eight (8) players or if a role-playing event draws fewer players than the minimum the GM determines is necessary, the convention reserves the right to downgrade or cancel it.  \n5. GMs have the right to eject, if deemed necessary, any player from an event.  \nEvent Registration  \nYou can register for part","cbCaihPGfun6PMzv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihPGfun6PMzv","pdf",10237681,52,"English","# Troubleshooting Staff\n# Welcome\n# Convention Hours\n# Game Tournaments and Events\n# Common Rights of Event Officials\n# Event Registration\n## Multiple Section Tournament Entry Limit\n## Walk-in Event Entry","[{\"question\":\"Who should attendees contact if they have issues during the convention?\",\"answer\":\"Attendees should see the person(s) in charge of the relevant department.
