I was in the Saturday contest and first of all I agree with bringing back online registration! Also, the rules should be updated far before less than a week till the con. It took an hour and a half waiting in line in the morning to manage to get into the contest. Though once I got up to register things were very fast and it was nice to have a print out of all our info
Judging was totally on time, and staff were very good about keeping us updated on how we were doing on the time limit. It was nice to have a halfway warning. The judges were very attentive and I felt our costumes were looke
