Dress Code:
All Attendees must wear the following articles of Clothing at all times, while at the Captain’s Summit, and inside all public Expo areas.

Clothing:
This is a Family Friendly Adult Event. No Costume is considered No Costume. Please ensure that all costumes are properly secured at all times and are not prone to “indecent accidents”. 
       * Clothing should at least cover what a 2-piece bikini (for females) or Speedos (for males) would cover. Remember to wear what
          you would wear at a Public Pool setting.
        * Signs that are held, or messages/words written on Shirts, or your Body are permitted, but they must stay tasteful.
        * Shirts, Clothing, Costumes, or Signs promoting Pedophilia are STRICTLY PROHIBITED. Please do not wear Clothing with distasteful Messages or Words.
        * Short Skirts, Kilts, etc must be accompanied by proper Underwear. Ineffective underwear or a lack thereof constitutes indecent exposure.

Footwear:
To ensure your Safety, we ask that you wear Footwear at all times. You should consider wearing a minimum of Sandals (ie, Flip Flops) at all times, even if your Character is Barefoot. Skates, Sneaker-skates and rollerblades are pretty much usless (you may bring them, but why). The Captain's Summit will not be held Accountable for any Damages or injuries that occurs due to inadequate or improper Footwear.

Weapons Policy:
Please refer to our Weapons Policy.

Mock or Play-fighting is only allowed outdoors or in the hallways and convention area. Wielding or handling weapons or props in a way that could potentially cause harm to others, is Prohibited, whether there was intent to Harm others, or not. Mock-fighting is also allowed on Stage during Cos-play Performances, but must be carefully Rehearsed, Reviewed and Approved by Summit Mgmt. Staff.

*LARP outside the Expo area’s is also allowed, as long as all Safety Precautions are adhered to, and Respected.

Large Costumes:
Please be sure to keep all large Costumes contained as much as possible. We recommend the use of Handlers to help manage your Costume, if it is large Costume. Large Costumes or large parts of costumes are not allowed inside the dealer’s room due to blocking the flow of traffic and other hazards.

3-foot Rule:
Your Cos-play can only extends past 3 feet from your body. Imagine a three feet radius around your body, if it extends past 3 feet please do not bring the cosplay for the hallway.

Dragging Articles:
Keep your cosplay maintained at all times.


Picture Taking:
Do not stop for Pictures in smaller, crowded areas. Please, if possible, go outside, to a less crowded areas, or to Designated Picture taking areas. Do not block Doors, Ramps, Exits, Corridors, or Aisles while taking pictures.
Stay Hydrated throughout the Day. This is both for A.) Your own Well-Being; and B.) everyone else's. The Expo areas will already be crowded, without parched corpses, and nobody packed smelling salts.


If you want to take a Photo of a Cos-player, it's proper form to Ask First. Most will be happy to oblige, and Pose fiercely.



We Reserve the Right to Remove You from the Expo and/or Event, at any Time. If for any Reason, we feel that your Actions pose a Threat, or Hazard to Others, while at the Event, we will ask you to Stop, or you will be Removed from the Summit Event. We simply ask you to be Courteous towards others, at all times.
