UPDATE:

The version of Guilty Gear would most likely be XX reload or XX slash (most definitely not Isuka ) Also It will be soul calibur 3. Ill post the final mechanics of the games within the week. Our committees are still deliberating rules as well as coordinating with Ayala so everything will go according to plan. Most likely single elimation, unlimited time, and no ex modes.

Also, in response to Blissfullynaive, Ayala is very strict on merchandise selling. Which means we have to get their approval if we wish to sell a product during the convention. All though we havent gotten the go signal from the admin. We can however say that a lot of merchandise is up for grabs in our FAIR GAME BOOTHS (ring toss and etc).

NEXT POST: The next few posts will be the mechanics for some of our competitions. Most likely cosplay will be posted first. next update will be in sometime within the next few days

Cheers

UPDATE: COSPLAY COMPETITION: SINGLE AND GROUP COSPLAY.

General Rules:

1. Anyone from any organization can join.

2. We will accept characters from any written or visual media. Original Characters (OC’s) will not be eligible for the competition.

3. Registration will be done online and during the day of the convention. Registering early will not determine the order of performance. We will randomly select which group/individual will perform first.

4. Badges will be given to cosplayers signifying their entry into the competition. Please wear the or have the badge with you during the duration of the competition.

5. Metal props and metal costume components are allowed for this competition. With that in mind please nothing bladed, or anything that will pose immediate harm to any of the participants of the convention or yourself. (We advise those who carry swords to please keep them sheathed as much as possible). We will still not allow any pyrotechnics or chemicals to be used on and off stage.

6. Groups must present a skit. Single division participants may not need to present a skit BUT will be interviewed on stage.

7. This year we put great emphasis on character but we know its tiring to be acting like your character all day. Therefore you need only be in character from 2 PM till after you have gone on stage. Please be in the convention proper area during that time.



8. This year our parade of characters will be held on stage to also give a chance to people who want to take photos of those cosplaying (additional details will follow)

9. Please bring your CDs with your music if you wish to have it played during your time.



10. We will provide a repair booth for those who need to make emergency repairs during the convention.

11. We know that cosplaying your favourite character is exciting but please let’s keep it wholesome. Ayala is a family place after all.

12. We encourage those in the competition to interact with other participants. This will be one of the ways that will help you in scoring high in the competition.


13. The breakdown for this year will be:
50% - Character (on stage, offstage)
30% - Skit (audience impact, originality, neatness)/ Interview (audience impact and In character answering)
20% - Costume (accuracy and neatness)

SINGLE DIVISION RULES:
1. Should you present a skit you will be given between 1 – 3 mins of performing time.
2. Once again if you wish to have your own music played during your time please bring a CD
3. If you have entered yourself in the single division you will not be allowed to participate in the group division FOR ANY ROLE.

GROUP DIVISION RULES:
1. Group Participants will be allowed only 2 – 9 Members. This will not include props men if you should have any. We will allow props men to handle materials on stage however if the skit will look messy due to the high number of people on stage it will affect your score.
2. You will be given only 3 – 5 minutes of performing time. Anymore will be deducted from your score. Timer starts when your skit officially starts. Set up all you want.
3. We encourage the group to interact with the other participants either as a group or individuals.
4. Please bring a CD with your music if you wish to have it played during your time.


Finally: Have fun and enjoy the convention. :3

Changes and updates to the rules will be posted before convention day.

I don't get the interact part. Does it mean that we chat and be friendly with the other groups or kick their ass on stage? What kind of interaction? Kindly elaborate.

Interaction meaning being in character while interacting with your fellow competitors. Take for example if someone asked for a photo from two different cosplayers. Its one thing to smile and pose but another to action pose in character. Experiment with that thought, bottom line is know your character and have fun with it.

[Hidan]

I see. Now I get it.

What if the character I cosplay is a pedophile?

Then a kid wants a picture taken with me.

So I'd have to act like a pedo with kid.

hehehe...

Basin patyon ko sa parents ana ha. XD
