# ℹ️ General Instructions

# Badge pickup

Please get your badge **from the volunteer desk** (Nevada room) instead of from regular registration.

# Food vouchers

These vouchers are only valid at the grab-and-go snack bars inside the con space. Please try to use some each day instead of all on Sunday. You may give them to friends to use. Don’t worry about using every dollar of each voucher.

# Staff dinner

Typically shortly after closing ceremonies. *Please come participate, it’s a lot of fun.* Departments should try to schedule shifts such that everyone can participate.

# Badge checking at doors

If you end up stepping in to check badges at doors, politely turn away anyone who doesn’t have this year's con badge.

# While off-duty

If you see something not working as it should, let that department know. If you see someone burned out or stressed out, let their lead know.

# Staff badges

Must be worn when on duty, and not worn when not on duty.

# Staff shirt

Some years, we issue staff shirts to staff members; they are optional. If you choose to wear one, wear it only when on duty.

# Attendee questions

You will probably be asked questions by congoers. Only answer questions you know the answers to, and ask the appropriate department if you don’t know.

# Minors

There are two types of minors at BLFC. Both of them have distinctive con badges.

* People 16-17 years old are “unsupervised minors.” They are not permitted in any 18+ areas, but are otherwise free to roam the convention on their own.
* People 15 and younger are “chaperoned minors.” They must be with some kind of parent or chaperone at all times. If you find someone this age and they can’t point to their chaperone, please bring them to Con Ops. If they refuse to come with you, you can’t force them; note their badge number, notify Con Ops of their location, and try to keep track of them until Con Ops or FLARE finds them.

# Pocket Schedule

Try to carry extra copies of the schedule in your pocket. When someone asks when an event is, look it up for them and then hand them the schedule.

# Tape

* **Walls, either wallpapered or painted:** Blue painter’s tape. Never gaff tape.
* **Carpeted floors:** Gaff tape or Spike tape. Never painter’s tape.
* **Free-standing roll-up banners:** no tape of any kind, ever. It pulls the print off the banners.
* **Cables and cords:** must be fully enclosed to the floor using gaff tape where they cross traffic paths. Elsewhere, pieces are fine.

# Storage Tubs

Don’t put weight on a stack of empty tubs. The empty tubs will break.

# Recruiting

If you’ve recruited someone for your department, please ask them to leave a note in their application that you recruited them, and mark your department as “interested” in the application. Also please email [hr@goblfc.org](mailto:hr@goblfc.org) notifying them of who you recruited.

# Elevators

Elevators are managed by Crowd Control. Please let them follow their own procedures.
