Entry Policy
- All individuals participating in Conpulsion events are required to have a valid ticket.

Game and Event Policy
- While the organisers make every effort to ensure that information on the website and in the programme is accurate, on occasion events may have to be modified or cancelled at short notice for reasons beyond their control.
- In the event of inadvertent over booking, people who have pre-booked events or games will have priority over those booking on the day.
- If you do not report punctually for an event or game you have signed up for, then the event host may decide you have forfeited your booking. In this case they may choose to allow someone else to fill your slot. If you are not sure where you need to be or when please speak to an event organiser or volunteer (blue shirts).
- Organisers, Judges’ and GMs’ decisions are final, please treat them with respect.
- Games at Conpulsion will not incur additional costs over the price of entry, except where entrants need to purchase materials to play them (drafting tournaments etc).
