To be a GM, here are some guidelines:
We want everyone to have fun, and this is a chance for you to teach the
games you love to other people, and hopefully find some people to play with in
the future. Of course we will need to make certain that you wish to make the
commitment to help the players to have fun. To assist with that, here are some
basics for EVERY GM.

QUALIFYING FOR FREE ADMISSION TO THE CONVENTION:
(1) You must submit a game before December 1, 2009. No exceptions.
(2) It must be approved and published by Convention Staff.
(3) You need to run a minimum of twelve hours of game to earn a weekend
pass. This may be in more than one game. (Additionally, If you can only come
to the convention for one day and wish to earn your one day badge for
Saturday or Sunday, then you only need volunteer for six hours.) GT badges
cannot be earned in this fashion.
(4) You must be capable of teaching the game to new players.
(5) You must be able to supply the basic materials (game, dice, photocopies,
etc.) for your game.
(6) You must be at least 18 years of age.
(7) You must submit a valid, verifiable email address, and legal name to the
convention. Photo ID is required to pickup your GM packet at the convention.

EVENT ORGANIZER'S AGREEMENT:
By submitting your events to ConQuest, you agree to the following terms and
conditions:
(1) You will begin and end your events at the time specified.
(2) You will allow only attendees with the appropriate badge to participate in
your events.
(3) You will not move your events from their scheduled locations or occupy
more space than allocated without the approval of ConQuest management.
(4) You understand that running events at ConQuest does not make you an
employee of ConQuest, or any Exhibitor.

VOLUNTEER STAFFING:
Volunteers are needed to work the registration, logistics and convention
services areas. Working at least twelve verifiable hours in one, or a
combination, of these areas earns you a free admission for the entire
convention.

REGISTRATION & REIMBURSEMENT
GMs and Volunteers are no longer required to pay for their badge in
advance
. (See the above rules on how to qualify for your badge by GMing or
Volunteering.) If you have already paid for your badge, and you later have a
game you submitted (before December 1, 2009) and then approved, you must
notify us and request a refund no later than four weeks before the show date
(December 16, 2009).
ABSOLUTELY NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN ONSITE
OR AFTER THE SHOW.
(Go to this page for full refund details.)

LOSS OF VOLUNTEER/GM STATUS:
Loss of status may occur, at our discretion, if any of the following occur:
1) Missing volunteer assignments without notice and/or valid excuse
2) Legally lose the ability to work with or around children unsupervised
3) Conduct unbecoming of a representative of the organization.
