Does anybody know for sure?

If you end up doing this next year, you might try holding a panel to either explain the rules or award prizes.  That gives you a short entry in the program guide and a free one-day Fanime pass for yourself and a helper.  If the rules won't fit, maybe the program guide can point people to a URL for the rules.  If you use a panel to explain the rules, maybe you won't need any signs or flyers at all.

As Jun said, the content of your sign is almost certainly OK.  However, there's the question of where you can put it.  The sign policy discussions so far seem to have assumed that people will carry the signs around with them and be sitting next to them.  As far as I know, nobody has said anything about where you can leave those signs if you're not carrying them or sitting next to them so you can watch them.

I don't know if FanimeCon can explicitly allow an unattended sign.  If they explicitly say that it's allowed, does it obligate them to tell their staff and volunteers and convention center janitors and whomever else to not accidentally clear it out?  I don't even know what department would take care of permissions like that.  I think Stormfalcon is right and you should probably e-mail someone in the contact list (maybe [email protected]?) and see what they say.

This is getting more complicated by the day.
What I know for sure is this.
I have already contacted the Fanime staff about the game, and I've had it approved. Fanime Con itself could not officially hold it, but we were given the "a-okay." So that is all settled.
But the sign-thing is turning out to be a pain.
Although the panel advice is a great idea. Thank you.

Neighbor lets try this, you tell me exactly what the sign is going to say and I'll let you know if there is going to be any issues.

Catch the Barrel
Begin Game/ Collection Site

"Catch the Barrel-Catch that Prize" started here at 9am on Saturday. If you do not want to carry the Box/Barrel anymore please leave it here to be picked up by another player.
The Box/Barrel must be returned to this exact spot by 4pm! No exceptions!
Until then have fun, be safe and read the following for more detailed instructions and rules.
Good luck and keep a weather eye out!
Love,
    Your Proctors

CATCH THE BARREL: Attention all Naruto/Bleach cosplayers! Somewhere in this convention hall someone has either The Barrel, a yellow prop barrel with green trim, or The Box, a blue prop box with black straps, and a flag that says "Catch The Barrel/Box". Your mission: retrieve The Barrel/Box, keep it as long as possible, and deliver it to the center of the Main Staircase, First Floor at 4pm.

How to play: When you find the ninja/shinigami who has The Barrel/Box you may Challenge him/her to one game of Rock/Paper/Scissors. The winner keeps the barrel/box (ties play a tiebreaker match), and carries it until it is taken by another ninja/shinigami. After you lose a Challenge, you must wait 10 minutes for your chakra/reiki to recover before you may Challenge again. When you first get The Barrel/Box, write your name on the outside (badge name and cosplay character name). After that, whenever you win a Challenge, put a tally mark next to your name. When The Barrel/Box is delivered to the finale, prizes will be given to the ninjas/shinigami with the most tally marks by their names, and a "delivery prize" to the ninja/shinigami who brings it in.

You must carry The Barrel/Box so that it, and its flag, is easily visible. You may not conceal or disguise The Barrel/Box in any way, with one exception: starting one hour before the finale you may disguise the barrel/box however you like (short of damaging or altering it) to help you get past the hordes of ninjas/shinigami around the Collection station. The first ninja/shinigami to get the barrel/box within line-of-sight of the Collection Site officially wins the "delivery prize" – you may not challenge for the barrel/box after that.

DO NOT wrestle, play-fight, run, chase each other or cause a disturbance in the convention. DO NOT Challenge other ninjas inside showings, panels or other events. KEEP THE BARREL/BOX IN THE HALLS: if you want to attend a showing or panel or leave the convention for a while, give The Barrel/Box to another ninja/shinigami before you do. If you have trouble getting rid of The Barrel/Box, or don't want to keep it please leave at the Collection Site to be picked up by an eager player. DO NOT OPEN THE BARREL/BOX or something very bad will happen to you. DO NOT CHEAT! DO NOT take The Barrel/Box away and hide it, DO NOT pass it back and forth among a small team of friends without letting anyone else have a turn.

CATCH THAT PRIZE: When the targets are delivered to Endgame, the single Ninja with the most tallies on The Barrel will recieve the title of Fanime Con 2008 Hokage, and the Shinigami with the most tallies on the Hougyoku Box will be the Fanime Con 2008 Soul Society King!

NINJAS VS. SHINIGAMI! In addition to getting your own target, it's time to prove once and for all which are better, Ninjas or Shinigami. If you see a member of the opposing team carrying their target you may Challenge to take it. Don't bother to take it from members of your own side, only from the opposing team. When you take the opposing team's target from them, put a tally mark in the space marked for Opposing Team Captures. Don't write your name – this is a team effort. Keep the captured target, Box or Barrel, until a member of the opposing team defeats you at a Challenge and gets it back. If you see a member of the opposing team carrying your prize, Challenge them to retrieve it and defend your side's honor! At the end game we will see which team has more captures, and learn once and for all whether Ninjas or Shinigami reign at Fanime Con 2008!
