Haha, that's a bit out of the league of what I normally deal with in a cosplay comp. I found this site through ANN. What I usually deal with is an MC/host who announces each individual/group and what they're cosplaying, they come up on stage and either just pose like their character or do a short skit in-character, get questioned briefly by the MC (how long did it take you to make your costume, why do you like the character, etc), then a panel of judges rate people into categories based on the best overall cosplay (ie character and costume), best overall costume, the best overall group, the best overall skit and judges' special mention. Unfortunately, when put to the crowd things can get a bit biased, as some people are just naturally louder than others. I generally manage registration through an online form which generates a registration for me to enter into a check-in spreadsheet for the day, then on the day we fill the spaces that are left and any spaces that don't show up to check in, then after that I can generate a runsheet so we can co-ordinate marshalling, AV, etc. With regards to AV, depending on stage setup, we can do video and/or audio skit materials that the cosplayers can give me as they check in/sign up on the day. Done cosplay for at least 8 shows in the last two years

Just registered to post, only just stumbled across this. I live in Brisbane, and unfortunately missed the '09 Mac Aus Con. Looking forward to MAC '10. For your cosplay tourney, do you need any assistance? I have a history of assisting with cosplay at a few aussie cons. Once again, looking forward to MAC '10.
