Yes, there are rules you need to abide if you plan on running an event. Please visit our rules page to learn more. I don’t see my event yet, what’s up?
Before we start posting events, we have to lay out an initial schedule. That doesn’t happen until we feel we have enough submissions to make a schedule. That is usually late July or early August. If we have already started posting events, it’s possible we’re working on getting your event scheduled right now. If you have questions, contact the GM Coordinator. I paid, but I’m still having problems enrolling in events online!
Please contact the Registration Coordinator and we’ll look into it! An event has an additional cost, why is that?
Some of our events bring staff along to ensure their events run smoothly. Other events are tournaments that have prizes. We also have events that support a charity. If you wish to participate in these events, this fee must be paid too.
