=====CONTESTANTS: PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING RULES & DETAILS OF FLOOR WARS BELOW=====

All of these rules apply to ALL CONTESTANTS:

Slots
There will be 16 competitors in each division. In the event that the slots are all filled up. We will open a waiting list/fill in list for those that did not apply in time. Please only apply if you are for sure going to the convention.

Attendance
We will have a ROLL CALL for all contestants, 15 minutes BEFORE THE PANEL STARTS. This is to ensure that we have even numbers for our brackets and to avoid confusion. If you are not there in time, we will replace your spot with someone who is on the waiting list/willing to battle.

Battle Etiquette
We had a few issues at Floor Wars at AC 2012 that were brought up by some dancers that we will be making rules. We WILL enforce these rules during this event. Breaking these rules WILL result in disqualification.


*NO TOUCHING YOUR OPPONENT* Use your dancing to do the talking. Burns/Hand Motions are fine. But touching your opponent in any means except for a sportsmanlike handshake or hug is not.

*LET YOUR OPPONENT FINISH* No running out in the middle of your opponent's set until they indicate they are done, or they are counted out by the MC.

*NO EXCESSIVE/EXTREMELY VULGAR INSULTS* We want to keep this a PG-13 maximum rated competition. Not only do the judges NOT like it, your fellow furries won't either.

We will make these rules clear at the beginning of the competition as well to make sure that you all remember. There are NO exceptions to these rules.
