ANBU FEST 2010 GENERAL GUIDELINES

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR
ANBU FEST 2010

1. All people wishing to partake in ANBUFest 2010 must register for the event in advance at the registration desk with the organizing teams. Fill-in all appropriate/applicable information you are required of to ensure the traffic in the event proper.
2. Registration will officially start by 3:00 PM - 5:30 PM. Anyone who fails to register on the said time will not be allowed to participate in the games.
3. Submit weapon-crafts to the members of organizing team at the registration tables for inspection to ensure general public’s safety.
4. Entrants must be inside the cosplayer holding area 15 MINUTES before the event start time (individual/groups) they registered in. No changes in groupings will be allowed after the registrations end.
5. Group entrants are obliged to have a minimum of five (5) members and a maximum of ten (10).

COSPLAYER PERFORMANCE RULES

1. The ANBU Performance will take form of an onstage walk-on followed by a short performance of your choice. Individual/group cosplayers are allotted 30 seconds onstage time bearing the following in mind:

a. Skits / presentations must be no longer than 30secs. Performers are allotted 10secs to set-up and 10secs to exit in addition to the 30secs allotted.

2. NO leaping or climbing on or off stage.
3. Toy weapons/weapon crafts will be allowed provided they are submitted for inspection by the registration areas prior to the events. Any “live” weapons will result to immediate eviction. Also no food, animals or remote control devices are permitted.
4. Any sort of stage fighting/acrobatics is to be limited within the SAFETY LINE.
5. What goes on the stage with you comes off the stage with you. For safety reasons, things like confetti, fireworks, flash paper or other forms of pyrotechnics, rose petals, water and other small messy objects are strictly prohibited around the stage area.
6. Skit content must have a rating no higher than “PG-13”. ANBUFEST is an all-ages event. Any explicit swearing, nudity and obscene gestures and mannerisms are prohibited and can result in disqualification.

COSPLAYER OUTFIT RULES

Though some of the cosplay events at ANBU fest are judged, and therefore have more specific rules, every cosplayer must abide by the basic list of guidelines:

1. Cosplayers may have the liberty to alter/modify their ANBU suits provided that outfits should not be so revealing as to warrant indecent exposure charges. All body parts should be covered and not require constant pulling, tugging and straightening. A good rule of thumb is not to wear anything that cover less what you can wear in the pool or the beach.

2. During the Anbufest, participants are trusted to be responsible of their weapons and other accessories. In areas that are extremely congested and narrow (like in the booth/kiosk areas), entrants will be asked to modify their costume in public part of the event center; we realize that a lot of work has been put into the outfit. During the Cosplay event judging or if one is within the holding area, cosplayers are permitted to wear their cosplay in its original unaltered form.
