FAQs

How are tournament and event schedules organized in the program?

Tournaments and Events are listed in their own event schedules and are grouped into sections such as Board Games, Computer and Video Games, Live-Action Role-Playing Games, Miniatures, Role-Playing Games, and Special Events and Seminars.

What rights do judges and event GMs have during tournaments?

Judges and GMs may modify rules by announcement before the event, adjudicate a winner when the round time ends, take actions to ensure sportsmanlike play and fairness, cancel events that draw too few players, and eject a player if necessary.

How does on-site event registration work, and can you register for multiple events?

Registration is first-come, first-served and closes when the event’s maximum participant limit is reached; it must be done in person and you can register for only one game event at a time, though you may register for additional events later if schedules don’t conflict.
