Staff Rules and Regulations

1. Staff members are required to abide by the same rules as attendees, and should be well-read on all MomoCon official policies.
2. Staff members are restricted from any activity that will take their attention away from the assigned duty that they are responsible for while staffing. This includes, but is not limited to, staffing for a vendor or artist, playing games while watching a room, participating in a contest while staffing said contest, etc. After their scheduled hours, staffers are welcome to enjoy the events of the convention, but staffing duties take precedence over other activities.
3. Alcohol and illegal substances are not allowed to be carried or consumed by anyone at the convention.
4. No staff should give their badge to any attendee for any reason.  If a staffer gives his/her badge to an attendee, he/she is subject to expulsion and permanent ban from staffing future MomoCon events.
5. As a representative of MomoCon, staffers are asked to abide by certain etiquette standards before, during, and after the convention. Staffers are to conduct themselves in a professional manner regarding the convention, and are asked to refer to official MomoCon announcements when on any public forum (newspaper, radio, magazine article, blogs, forums, etc.).
6. Staffers are reminded that all equipment at MomoCon is donated, therefore no non-staff are allowed in either Con Ops at ANY time for ANY reason. If an attendee needs something from lost and found, the staffer is to procure it for them and bring it outside the room. Staffers are required to refrain from playing on donated equipment while in con ops. Staffers are welcome to play the equipment when it is set up in the respective gaming rooms.

Dress

1. Staff members (with the exception of Game Room and Tournament staff) are welcome to cosplay, so long as the costume does not interfere with the staffer’s ability to perform his/her function or interfere with attendees’ movements in the hallways.
2. Staff members who are given shirts are asked not to wear their staff shirt except when they are on duty. Staff shirts are for STAFF ONLY. Do NOT give your staff shirt to anyone else.
3. If you are working for a vendor or artist while off-duty, do not wear a staff shirt.

Discipline/Arbitration

1. Should a staff member fail to abide by the rules outlined in this document, or behave untoward while representing the convention (whether it be at the event, on a public forum, or otherwise), a warning, reassignment, or expulsion from staff may be enacted. The severity of the offense will dictate the severity of the discipline.
2. The Convention Chair, Staffing Director, and one other Head Staffer will be the deciding factor in any arbitration or disciplinary action.

Incentives

2. Head Staff and some general staff will be given staff shirts to wear at the event. MomoCon makes no guarantee that any staffer will receive a staff shirt, due to limited availability, but will attempt to provide some staffers with shirts.
