Masquerade

The Masquerade is one of the most important events an anime con has. As such, it needs to be done well with attention to detail and significant effort from the staff.

Time Limit

The biggest complaint about our 2014 Masquerade was the length of the skits. After some research MANY of the cons use a limit of 1.5-3 minutes. As such, our limit going forward was changed to 2 minutes with exceptions made upon request by large groups only. No promise of the exception being granted.

Divisions

In many years we did not have divisions. After much research, we have altered our process to better align with other conventions and use divisions.

Divisions chosen are

  • Master (Advanced)
  • Journeyman
  • Novice
  • Youth

Many people seem to rate their skill levels lower than they should. In 2015 the judges moved up several groups because they rated themselves in too low of a division.
