Cosplay Chess Rules

1. You must be able to communicate in either French or English.

2. Costumes and props must fit within a 91x 91 cm square, which corresponds to the size of each chessboard tile. They must comply with the convention’s Rules and Policies. Applicants must be able to freely move without assistance. Costumes cannot impede, obstruct or injure other players on the chessboard.

3. Props that can disperse, such as confetti, fake blood and petals, are not allowed. All props must also comply with the Props Policy (formerly known as the Weapons Policy).

4. To pre-register, participants must submit at least two (2) Attack Scenes and one (1) Elimination Scene, as these will be used to plan the combat sequences. Combat Scenes will be created by combining the Attack and Elimination Scene of the two characters facing each other on the chessboard. Participants are strongly encouraged to plan alternative attacks in case their piece is involved in multiple combats.

5. Characters may be assisted by one or more support characters during combat scenes. Support characters must remain outside the chessboard until they are needed.

6. Physical contact is prohibited. All fights are choreographed simulations. You must avoid making contact with your opponent or their costume.

Failure to comply with these rules may result in immediate removal from the event and disqualification from participating in future Cosplay Chess events.
