General Rules:

These rules are expected to be followed by all attendees at all times. Violation of the rules can result in disqualification from a tournament or banned from the Video Game Room or Convention depending on severity. ANY vandalism or defacing of Convention, Hotel, Convention Center, or Video Gaming room property will result in a complete ban from the Convention, be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and possibly be fined.

Please make it a point to maintain proper hygiene.
No outside food or beverages are allowed. Water will be provided by the convention. IF YOU BRING IT, WE WILL EAT IT! This is your only warning!
Please use common courtesy when playing at game stations. Limit your play time to 10 min if there is a line to play. Also please communicate with others who may be watching and offer them a chance to play. If a seat is not given up NOTIFY A STAFFER IMMEDIATELY. Passive aggressive behavior is NOT going to get you a chance to play that game.
We highly encourage that you bring your own wireless game controllers for Wii, 360, and PS3. Should you need to borrow a controller, one may be obtained by Video Game room staff. To do so, you will need to turn in your convention badge to us. Your badge will be returned upon receipt of the controller.
