Rules & Guidelines

• Each entrant must draw only one subject at random, groups will be counted as one entrant.

• There will be no 2nd tries, redraws, or trading with any of the other participants. Once you draw it, you're stuck with it.

• Participants will have a preparation time after they drawn their subject. They will have one hour to prepare. After that, they will be performing depending on the order drawn.

• Only a maximum of 5 persons per group. There will be more exceptions for any group that wants to contain more.

• There is no double entry between the cosplay and improv masquerade. Attendees can only select one or the other.

• Entrants have an option to cosplay so cosplay is not required in this event.

• Time limit is restricted to minimum of 1 minute and a maximum of 3 minutes. Entrants will be marked down for going under or over the time limit.

• Props are not allowed in this category. This is an improv show, so if you need to be in use of a prop, act it out and pretend it's there.

• Furniture are only limited to portable tables and chairs. Anything else is prohibited.

• Content of skits should be kept at most PG-13.

• We don't allow any tricks that could possibly cause harm to others, yourself, and everything else around. We would like to have a safe performance, not a reckless one.

• Any material that may be offensive will be removed immediately. If judges feels the skit is too offensive, the skit will end and the entrant's turn is done.

• Don't leave anything behind on stage. Anything that goes on stage, must be taken off offstage during entrant's turn.

• Judges will has final word. Period.
