Tournament Policies

• W.Y.S.I.W.Y.G - We want to strongly encourage the players to model their miniatures in a way that is fair to their opponent and is in the spirit of the game. We also encourage conversion work, that said if you have a conversion that might be questionable please email us at [email protected] with photo's of the model. 

• Rules/Book Cut Off - We will have a Two week cut off policy for all rules updates, FAQ's, and Supplements. The date will specifically be TBD

• Battle Ready Armies - If you plan on playing in our tournament your entire army must be battle ready. If you are unsure what battle ready is please click the link to see an example. If we find that any of your models within the army is not battle ready, the model must be pulled and you will lose your paint points for the entire tournament. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MJvXVjt1BBq-5ZWT28ak-t_uTbKKC6Dq/view?usp=sharing

• Harassment - Harassment is treated on a case by case basis. That said any one found harassing an individual for any reason based on sex, sexual orientation, race, religion, or for any other reason we deem demeaning to the individual being harassed we will ask the person harassing to leave immediately without exception. We have never had an issue before and we hope to never have to use this policy
• Refunds - Flying Monkey Con maintains the policy of not issuing refunds within 90 days of the event, any requests after that will not be processed.   No refunds after June 14, 2025 - 11:59p CST.

• Illegal Lists - The Flying Monkey GT maintains the policy, if your list is found to be illegal on the FIRST DAY, we will handle the illegal list in two ways. If your list is illegal because of a detachment error, the detachment that is deemed to be illegal will not be allowed to be played, and you must play without those models in the said detachment for the rest of the tournament or be disqualified. Second if your list is illegal because of points error, the units/models that are not correct because of points will not be allowed to be played with for the rest of the tournament, and if you do not do this you will be disqualified. On the SECOND DAY if your list is found to be illegal in any way, you will be disqualified from the tournament, no exceptions. Upon either instances on either day if your list is illegal you are not eligible for any prize support 

 

• Cheating - If it is found that you are intentionally cheating in any way at the Flying Monkey GT you will be immediately disqualified and asked to leave the Con.
