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 October 31, 2008. No exceptions.
(2) It must be approved and published by Convention Staff.
(3) You need to run a minimum of twelve hours of game. This may be in more than one game.
(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 Admin.
(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 October 31, 2008) and then
approved, you must notify us and request a refund no later than two weeks before the show
date (January 2, 2009).
ABSOLUTELY NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN ONSITE OR AFTER
THE SHOW.

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.
ConQuest NW Volunteer Info

We have several ways for you to be able to contribute to making this convention better, and
Volunteers and GMs, who serve at least twelve verifiable hours on-site in any capacity, will
