Ordering your badges and other compensation...

1. Go to our registration page - http://originsgamefair.com/Registration/tabid/2938/Default.aspx.

2. The first page is the Registration Login page. Fill in the requested information. For the Registration Category field choose GM badge. For the Coupon Code field enter the code you received from Origins in your email.

3. If you do not have an account from a previous year or if you change the login information you will need to create a password. If the system recognizes you it will skip this page.

4. On the next page, Registration Demographics, fill in your information. If you are registering with a group you MUST include the group's name in the Business Name field.

5. Fill in the GM Compensation information that you qualify for. If you only qualify for a badge please make sure you click Do Not Qualify ... for addition compensation. If you are choosing 1/4 hotel room and wish to room with specific persons please include them in the appropriate box. (All people must include the same people for rooming for the request to be honored.) Use the Additional Information box for any information we must consider when making hotel reservations (ex. if you wish to extend your stay, come early or any handicapped requirements, etc.).

6. Order any ribbons, generics and events (if events are available) that you want on the following pages.

7. Complete your order.

Note: If you forget your coupon code or use an incorrect code. Please contact registration(at)gama.org before paying for your badge so the price can be adjusted. This will prevent you from having to go through the refund process.

 

Event submission in all categories will be open October 15th. This year's theme for Origins is Time Travel. The submission deadline is March 1, 2012.

Please Note these clarifications/changes for 2012:
Demo Games are only to be run either 1) at a booth in the exhibit hall; 2) at tables in the open gaming area designated for demos; 3) space designated in a sponsorship agreement. Demo games should not be listed on the event schedule and are to be free to attendees. Demos are games that are shown to the perspective buyer to allow them to understand the game mechanics they do not constitute a "full" session of the game. This does not include games run for beginners, where rules are taught, but are played to their conclusion.
Tournaments - GMs running events as tournaments will need to report to Origins the name of the winners of your tournaments.
Events that do not run - Origins is happy to provide GMs with compensation for the time they spend supporting our show. Currently, Origins policy is to credit GMs before the show for events submitted and accepted. Starting this year, to make the approach work optimally for all concerned, when a scheduled event does not run, the GM is responsible to check in at the area headquarters. GMs may be asked to assist in other ways during the period in which their event would have run.

 

Here are the GM guidelines and the events submission form (please use the 2012 Event Submission form for this year's submissions as there are a number of significant changes to the forms to make it more compatible with the new registration system):
