The following policies, rules and expectations are in place to protect the integrity of the Event as well as the safety of our attendees. In addition to our event policies, attendees are also expected to know and conform to Federal, State, and local laws along with the established policies of the Phoenix Convention Center and the Hyatt Regency. Any violation which involves activities prohibited by law will result in notification of the proper authorities as well as prosecution to the fullest extend of the law.

It is the expectation that everyone understands both these rules as ignorance will not be a suitable excuse for non-compliance. As unforseen circumstances may arise, the Event Director reserves the right to change any rule and/or remove any attendees, at any time, at his sole discretion.

Non-compliance with any policies and rules as stated or implied by DEVASTATION, Lost Bot Productions, or Event facilities can result in an immediate disqualification from a single game, contest or tournament, loss of winner status and prizes, up to removal from the Event and premises and/or legal action, including prosecution.

• Attendees will conduct themselves in a reasonable and polite manner. It is expected that a friendly and courteous demeanor will be maintained toward all attendees, Event staff and officials, members of the press and media, supporters, spectators, and any other persons related to or present at the Event.

• Abusive or dispruptive behavior of any kind from anyone, including verbal or physical harassment, vulgar language, fighting, and threats are prohibited.

• Collaboration, of any kind, is prohibited. If it is determined that any attendee is collaborating or intentionally underperforming both attendees/players may be immediately disqualified and/or removed from the Event. As this is a subjective matter, based on the opinions of the Event staff, it is in attendees’ best interests to always perform to the best of their abilities.
