The Convention Manager reserves the right to remove anyone displaying unacceptable behavior. Visitor status confers the following benefits and limitations: Visitors May observe, but not participate in gaming events. Visitors May take materials on the freebee tables. Visitors May make purchases at the dealer tables. Visitors May participate in special events (art contest, miniature painting, costume contest and auction) under ineligible status.

Event Registration: Anyone who signs up using the online form will have first priority based on their time stamp, after that, everyone would be added to back-up player status. You can also sign-up at the event itself, this is the common way people sign-up.

Open Gaming: Open gaming is both allowed and encouraged at all Tri-State Gamers Conventions. Ask at the information booth for available tables and then list your game on the open Gaming Bulletin Board.

Costumes: All attendees are encouraged to wear costumes, but please show good taste. Real weapons will not be allowed, only items that are clearly fake. No gun or gun replicas, unless Nerf or foam.

GM Policy: GM’s have the right to refuse seating to a player if they feel that player will be disruptive. GMs earn Con Bucks based on the above Con Bucks policy. We ask GMs to try and be 15 minutes early for their event and prepared. If you’re going to be late, please try and contact the Con staff to inform them. Pick up the registration sheet for your event 5 minutes prior to the event and have your players print and sign their names on it. (Any GM who receives a comped badge will not receive Con Bucks)
