Terminology definition

Staff, Helpers, and Administrators

Administrators refers to the voted (or temporarily appointed) Staff members that have elevated authority, granted to them by Staff

Minor infraction

A minor infraction is any action a participant does that is not within the spirit and rules of our event. Generally, this action was done in error, unknowingly, and/or accidentally.

Major infraction

A major infraction is any action a participant does knowingly and willingly in direct contradiction against any of our event rules or policies, or any action knowingly or unknowingly that results in: personal injury, equipment damage, racism, or sexism.

Eviction Policy

If a Helper or Staff member sees or becomes aware of any major or minor infraction, they will then report it to an Administrator. If the infraction is found to be credible by means of witness or testimony, the infraction will become logged and the following actions will be applied:

After 1 minor infraction: the offending attendee will be issued a warning
After 2 minor infractions: the offending attendee will be issued a final warning
After 3 minor infractions: the offending attendee will be asked to leave the event, and no issue will be refunded
After 1 major infraction: the offending attendee will be asked to leave the event, and no issue will be refunded. Depending on severity and a discussion post event, that individual may be banned from attending 1 or more future events. This discussion will be a Staff vote in accordance with our Charter
