While admission to BATScon is free, registering for specific games in advance is highly encouraged. Space is limited, and we cannot guarantee spots for day-of sign-ups. However, there will also be drop-in games and board games available throughout the day, which anyone can freely join or access without registration.

Mask Policy
At BATScon, the health and safety of our community is a top priority. As a small, community-centered event, we are committed to protecting one another.
Masks are required at all times while inside the venue.
We encourage high-quality masks (KN95, N95, KF94, or equivalent). We will have a limited supply available at the registration desk for anyone who needs one.
If you are feeling sick, experiencing symptoms, or have been recently exposed to COVID-19, we ask that you please stay home to keep the community safe.
This policy reflects our values of care, accessibility, and collective responsibility. By masking up, we help make BATScon a welcoming and safe space for everyone to enjoy games, vendors, and community.
Thank you for helping us care for one another!
