FAQ – Earning Badge Rebates and Discounts
Rebates
How does this work?
- Volunteers automatically receive a 100% badge rebate!
- GMs who run at least 33 attendee hours of board game, RPG, seminar, or other non-MTG sessions receive a 100% badge rebate! Badges are rebated within 48 hours after FLAG Con 2025 closes.
What are some examples?
- Example 1: You run a 4-hour board game event for 3 other attendees on Friday — that’s 12 attendee hours (3 × 4 = 12). You do the same on Saturday (12 more). Then, you run a 2-hour event for 5 others on Sunday (5 × 2 = 10). That’s 34 total attendee hours. Congrats, you get a 100% badge rebate!
- Example 2: You run Blood on the Clocktower for 13 other attendees for 4 hours on Saturday — that’s 52 attendee hours (13 × 4 = 52). Congrats, you get a 100% badge rebate!
- Example 3: You host a 1-hour seminar on board game design for 20 attendees (20 × 1 = 20), plus a 3-hour Pathfinder session for 5 others (5 × 3 = 15). That’s 35 total attendee hours. Congrats, you get a 100% badge rebate!
What if attendees drop or add at the last minute?
- If your events prefill to at least 33 attendee hours, but an attendee no-show brings the total below 33, no worries — you still earn the rebate.
- If your events don’t prefill to 33 hours, but you get enough walk-ins to reach the threshold, that counts — you earn the rebate.
What if I qualify on paper, but my events run a little short (e.g., my 4-hour RPG wraps up in 3h15m)?
No worries — you earn the rebate!
What if I run an event spontaneously, without pre-submitting it?
Cool! That’s open gaming, which we welcome at FLAG Con 2025. However, the rebate only applies to pre-submitted events. Having a great roster of pre-scheduled events is critical for attracting guests — so open gaming doesn’t count toward your 33 attendee hours.
