I missed the deadline ( I just sent it in about an hour to two hours ago! D:).

Do I print it out to hand it in on Sat?

Just wanting to clarify something that JVCA already asked. Wooden weapons: are they permitted, and if so, to what extent?

I'm sure there are a million people out there who'd rather make a durable prop (like all those keybladers) than something out of cardboard with clay attachments. I'm planning to make a scythe (wooden pole, with cardboard blade) but since I want to make it to keep, I was wondering if it is okay to made the blade out of wood as well. Obviously, it won't be sharpened, but it still might be considered dangerous.

I was wondering the same thing with fibre glass swords?

Thanks for the info. I might stay with safer materials, and then remake the blade later for my own satisfaction. XD

Another question! ^^; Would a sword made of perspex be allowed?

So long as it follows the rules it should be fine. Just make sure when cutting and shaping it to keep it as light as you can and to remove any sharp edges.

The website is being updated this week so hopefully the registration forms and everything will be ready to roll. Apparently the TV promo has been sorted too :)

It was particularly hard to write for the web page this time so if something doesn't make sense please let me know :)

I am not sure how much I am allowed to say before the page goes live... ok, the page is up but the regos are not:

So as a summary Dunedin, ChCh, Welly, Aucks and Melbourne are all regionals for the Cosplay cup. It just happens to be presented at Aucks as well.

Thanks! I'll make it as light as possible.

Btw, I think the new rules are great :)

The new adjustments to the rules look great! Very Happy

Really ties up all the little loopholes. nodnod

I do have one question though, just coz I'm curious - if someone won best in show at one of the events, would they be able to enter at the other events too? (I'm just mildly amused by the idea of one person having to contend with themself for the cosplay cup if they got best in show at two events, lol)

The rules do look good~

Just wondering, for the winners of each event (wellington, christchurch etc.) , will each of those winners need to take their winning outfits up to the Auckland competition, or will they need to/can enter with new outfits for the cup? (not the usual auckland comp)

(totally not saying I have a chance haha, just being curious...?)

By **JVCA**. 19/01/10, 01:13 am

I was wondering that also. o_O

Sorry for not replying sooner, it'll have to be case by case. I have been thinking about it and have been shoehorning rules and such to fit with the whole meta contest thing ;) We haven't yet had the same winner in both cities but it can happen and I really want to make sure that if it happens the fairest option is applied. I know people enter each city regardless of where they come from and I really do not want to make a regional limitation!

I noticed the pages are a bit weird on the site so I have posted a thread on the main forums with rego forms and new rules until they are sorted:

Do we need to fill these out just to cosplay there or is it just for the competition?
