ESRB Rating System Defined

ConEvents is using the ESRB game rating system. The ESRB rating system helps parents and other gamers choose the games that are right for their families. The ESRB ratings symbols suggest what age group the game is best suited for. This is based on the level of maturity as much as content. Some games will have political or other serious topics that younger players would not grasp, or would fail to respond to appropriately.

Event Ratings have been reduced to abbreviations and or icons for ease of use.

Parents

Games may be rated M for Mature for various reasons, from violent content to political or adult themes or concepts too advanced for young people. There is a Mature Gaming area within the Convention so that young minds can remain young.

A waiver form is available to allow your child into games rated M for Mature. However, Event Coordinators retain the ability to override this waiver at their discretion, as they know their event best. This waiver will not override a game with a rating of A for Adult.

Anyone under the age of 18, wanting to play in an event rated M for Mature, will be asked to bring a signed wavier form before being allowed to signup and play. The signed form should be taken to Game Central on or before the day of the event.

Some of our games are rated A for Adult. This may be due to anything from graphic violence to the sponsoring game company's policies. No one under 18 may play in a game rated A for Adult. No waiver is available for these games. Thank you for your understanding.
