Got another GM email for y'all:

 

It’s almost time - event registration opens on the morning of Sunday, April 20^th!

 

There are still a few days before then, however, so please take a moment to sign in and review your events to make sure that everything is in order before attendees begin buying tickets.

 

Sign in at http://registration.gencon.com and click on “View Your Active Events” to make sure that the price, time and everything else is correct. For most events, you can also review the location and make sure that your event was placed properly.

 

The final big status and location updates are being uploaded now, so your events should listed there – but if something seems to be missing, go back and click on “Submit and/or Manage Events,” the same page you used to submit your events. You can review all your events that have not yet been marked as active here. If it is listed as “Accepted for Consideration” and you submitted it before April 1^st, then you should be fine and it will be active (and viewable by attendees) shortly. If you have any events listed under “Returned for Correction,” however, you will need to make the necessary changes and re-submit the events.

 

Please do take this time to review your events and make sure that any needed changes are made before Sunday.

 

If you have any questions or problems, please let me know.

Seriously, this ain't no joke, btw - I strongly encourage everyone to double-check their events within the next few days. If your stuff is Active or Accepted for Consideration, you should be fine - just make sure the prices, times and maximum players (and special requests) are correct.

Never hurts to double-check, and the earlier we find and fix problems, the better. Changing times or prices after people have bought tickets to your event is a Bad Thing that I Do Not Like.

As always, lemme know if anyone has any questions. 

How can I tell what size tables my events are going to be on?  There were two "defaults" listed for historical miniature games and I want to make sure I can get the larger size.

I'm not sure what you mean by 2 defaults listed for miniatures games?

One 30"x8' table for every 4 players is the standard table size and players-per-table for both historical and nonhistorical miniatures games, as explained in the event host policy and the event submission form instructions.

That's what you'll get unless you reqeusted a specific size or type of table, in which case you'll get whatever you listed on your submission form. 

When submitting, I thought I saw the round size listed as the default for HMN events...   Rectangular is what I wanted.  Is it possible to request a larger table at this point?  30" wide isn't going to be large enough for some of our events.

Sure - send an email to events@gencon.com with the game IDs for the events that you want to request larger tables for.
