4. Rollerblades and Roller skates are not permitted in the convention centre.

5. Weapons must be fake! No real weapons will be permitted in the convention centre.

6. Weapons must not be used to scare other people. E.g. No pointing a gun at a person. If this is

seen you will be asked to leave the premises. A weapon may be pointed at someone for a photo

if both parties agree. Please be mindful of other people’s feelings when it comes to the use of

your weapon.

7. Swearing is not permitted in performance and will result in termination from the competition.

8. The convention will not supply helpers for cosplayer’s. If your costume is big and you need

assistance it is your responsibility to ensure you have the help needed.

and what they helped you with. If this is not mentioned and the judges find out you will be

minor section of costume that will not count as you having two costumes in the competition.

11. Belittling and Harassing will not be tolerated during the event. If this is seen at any time you will

be disqualified from the event. E.G. Telling someone they are too big to portray a certain

character. Cosplay is meant to be fun regardless of age, sex, race, height, weight etc…
