How do I get into a game I want to play or run?
At Go Play NW, all of our games are run by our attendees—folks like you!
You can either sign up for a game in advance, which we call "scheduled games," or join/run a game on the day of the event by joining our pitch circle, which we call "the Donut."

How do I schedule a game I want to run for the weekend?
Once you're registered, you can submit a game you'd like to run from our Run a Game page.
Once your game is submitted, it will be reviewed by our event organizers before being approved and posted to our Game Schedule. In most cases the review is pretty quick, and we'll contact you if there are any clarifications we need to make regarding your game submission.

How do I sign up to join the Donut?
No sign-up is necessary for participating in the Donut, but if you want to help us keep the event running as smoothly as possible and to help you manage your schedule, you can sign up for the Donut in advance on our Game Schedule.
If you don't get around to signing up, don't worry! Anyone can hop into the Donut! Once you're checked in for the event, you will see a section dedicated to the Donut on our Discord server. Simply join the Donut Stage channel at the start of the game session and we'll get you into a game.
