Description:
You are the guide and guardian of an estranged faction of magical creatures whose autonomy is threatened by a despotic ruling force known to you as the Adversary. You must lead and protect your faction, negotiating for resources and favors necessary for your survival with your assigned Agent (who is operating on behalf of the power-hungry Adversary) while attempting to subvert their authority to achieve your faction’s goals. You know there are other outsiders, but factions caught communicating are severely punished by the Adversary and its Agents… Will you attempt to manipulate your Agent for your own purposes? Could the other factions be of support, and how might you contact them? Are you willing to risk reaching out, or will your faction be safer alone?
This will be a GMing experience unlike any other — you will be asked to think beyond the usual boundaries of game play and to devise unusual and unpredictable off-the-table strategies of subversion and rebellion that will include participation of the director, judges, audience, maybe even more. GMs will be contacted with more details and information prior to the con, and will be invited to a pre-Gauntlet briefing at BBC.
Big Bad Gauntlet is the successor to Big Bad GM. A collaborative (rather than competitive) contest for each table to, as the name implies, make it through the gauntlet!
(Big Bad Gauntlet – GM/Leader Sign ups is exempt from the game sign up quota – It doesn’t count against your total)

quota?
Info about the quota should be in an email sent a while back, but it’s also here under Some big changes in sign ups this year!.
Short version is we’re limiting sign ups in the first week to two games (and then unlimited after that first week) to give attendees who can’t be at their computers right at noon on 9/12 a better change of getting in their favorite games.
