Catch the Barrel-Catch that Prize
This new version of "Catch the Barrel" is open to all and anyone who cosplays, but your object-to-find depends on your character's gender not yours.
You can be an original character or one from any manga/anime, but you must be dressed in cosplay!

Time: 12 Noon - 4pm
If Your Character is a Gal 
Your object to find: Pink Rectangular Box with Black Straps (actually a rectangular bag, but will be called "Box" to avoid confusion) [Dimensions: 11" by 8" & 3" deep]
Rules:
1) When you see someone holding the Box, Challenge that person to one game of rock/paper/scissors. Winner keeps the Box until they lose a Challenge.

lose a Challenge, you must wait ten minutes until you may Challenge again.
3) If you
win a Challenge write your cosplay and badge number somewhere on the outside of the Box. Every win that follows---put a tally mark next to your name.

4) The person who hand delivers the Bag to us (your proctors) at the
Cosplay Gathering's Table (First Floor of the Convention Center) at
4:00pm sharp will win the
special delivery prize.
In
addition to getting your own target (if you wish to participate), it's time to prove once and for all whom is better,
Gals or Guys. 
Rules:
1) If you see a member of the
opposing team carrying
their target you may Challenge for it.
2) DO NOT take it from your own side, you are working as a
team on this one.
3) If you
win the Challenge put a tally mark under "Opposing Team Captures." DO NOT put your name.
4) If you see a member of the
opposite team carrying
your prize, Challenge them to get it back and defend your side's honor!
At EndGame:
The Team with the most captures shall prove who reigns at FanimeCon 2009!
NOTE: You must carry the Box or Bag so that it and its sign are visible at all times. You may NOT conceal or disguise the Box or Bag in any way. EXCEPT the last hour of the game, save for altering its shape in any way, so that you can sneak it right up to us (your proctors). The first person to get the Box or Bag within line-of-sight of us (the proctors) wins the
special delivery prize. You may
not challenge for either after that. The person with the
most tallies wins the game.
FAIR WARNING: Fanime may be taking pictures during this Cosplay Event this year. If you do not want to be included in those pictures please step aside for those photos. By remaining with the group when the pictures are being taken you give your consent to be photographed. Also, the Gathering's table ask that you do not leave any personal items at their table(s) while playing this game. Please leave your things in your hotel room, in another safe location, or keep them on you. Neither they, nor us, will be responsible for lost or missing items.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST: DO NOT wrestle, play-fight, chase each other or cause a disturbance in the convention. DO NOT Challenge other players inside showings, panels or other events. KEEP THE BOX and BAG IN THE HALLS: if you want to attend a showing or panel or leave the convention for awhile, give the Box or Bag to another player before you do. If you have trouble getting rid of either item, or don't want to keep it, drop it off at the Collection Station (Cosplay Gathering's Table, located on the First Floor of the Convention Center). DO NOT OPEN THE BOX or BAG! DO NOT CHEAT!! DO NOT take the Box or Bag away and hide it. DO NOT pass it back and forth among a small team of friends without letting anyone else have a turn.
I believe that just about covers it all, so until May, be safe, have fun, and we hope to see you on Saturday dodging cosplayers and/or searching for the Box and/or Bag. (-^____^-) (V) ~Your Proctors
