If you want any of these services, just ask and we'll walk you through it.

We're sorry but we cannot negotiate different deals. Currently we offer convention support only to conventions in the United States, due to the price of shipping. We offer some degree of tournament support to annual tournaments held both in the US and abroad.

Our goal is to support conventions that have our games in play; failing that, to get information on our games in front of players.

1. ADVERTISING, ANNOUNCEMENTS, PROMOTIONS

If your convention has events scheduled for our products, we will list it on our websites and e-zines and provide you on request a list of our customers in your area. If you do not have events scheduled for our games, see 5B and you can always do Paragraph 2.

2. DOOR PRIZE PACKAGE

We will provide box of our products ($200 MSRP, $100 if you had fewer than 200 people last year) in exchange for a full-page ad in the on-site program. A flyer will not do. We do not buy ads for cash. If you want to do this, download the current convention ad and then send us the UPS-capable address to ship the box and tell us how many people you had last year. (If this is your first year, then by default you had fewer than 200 people last year.)

3. TOURNAMENT PRIZE PACKAGE

If you have an event featuring our games, we will sell the judge $25 worth of gift certificates for $10. If your convention has run the same event for three consecutive years, we just send the prize certificates for free.

4. RATED ACE RANKINGS

The most sought-after prize for SFB players is the card and enamel pin of a "Rated Ace". If you have a qualifying SFB event (this requires being a "sanctioned" event using the official ships and rules), we will recognize the winner as a rated ace and mail him the pin. Have your judge talk to us BEFORE the event about what he has to do to make this happen.

5. HUMAN HELP

Sadly, we do not go to most conventions.

1. If you want an event and have a judge, our website has instructions on how to run it.
2. If you want a judge and don't have one, we will post a "Judge Wanted" notice on our website, but we make no promises that someone will contact you.
3. If you want to have a demo, we will post a "Ranger Wanted" notice on our website, but we make no promises that someone will contact you.
   
   
6. REAL CONVENTIONS, OFFICIAL PRODUCTS ONLY

Support is provided for real conventions (with dealer room, events, guests, seminars), not in-store game days. We cannot provide any support to conventions which host events involving unauthorized SFU products. If your event is an "in store game day" contact us and we'll ask you some questions and then see what we can do for you.
