I have been working on an Academy Darius costume for a while and am basically finished. I want to wear it to worlds on Saturday. Anyone know if they allow prop weapons (Darius' baseball bat axe) into the arena?
Axe head is made of foam, and handle is made of wood.
Worlds 2016 - Finals Cosplay Rules:
All final decisions on costumes entering the facility shall be at the sole discretion of event staff, security, and the the local police department. Your costume must be not be wider than 4 feet across, longer than 6 feet, or taller than 8 feet. Additionally, you must be able to easily maneuver your costume over stairs or ramps unassisted. You must also be able to sit in your seat while wearing your costume. There is no re-entry policy so if you leave to take off your costume, you will not be able to return to the venue. You must have unobstructed vision at all times (i.e., must not need to remove a piece of your costume in order to see). Armor cannot pose a threat to others by way of sharpened metal edges, spikes, or bladed surfaces. All swords or bladed weapons must be blunt-edged and cannot have a sharpened edge (no metallic or predominantly wooden weapons). No weapon may be sharp or pointy enough to cut or pierce someone with moderate pressure, or heavy enough to create a threatening club. Note: Worbla will be permitted, pending that it follows the above weapon restrictions. You may not bring firearms of any kind including air guns or cap guns, as well as any replica weapon (i.e., facsimiles or realistic versions of real-world weapons). Any firearm must be clearly of prop nature, and cosplayers will be responsible for proving that any potential firearm is non-dischargeable. Any bow-type weapons must be unstrung or strung with a low-tensile thread. All prop arrows must have non-metal, blunted tips. You may not include liquids, gels, or other substances which could cause a mess. (This will be at the discretion of local police department, event security, Riot, and/or event staff). You may not use smoke effects, fire, explosives, or any other environmental hazard in any capacity. You may display your prop weapons only as costume pieces. Do not swing or brandish your prop in any way that could be considered unsafe or threatening. You may pose with a prop in a brandishing manner, so long as no reasonable person would interpret for anything other than dramatic effect. Event staff, security, or management may stop you at their sole discretion. All attendees who have prop weapons need to be verified and inspected by event security or local authorities when they arrive. Attendees whose costume weapons have been approved will be tagged and cataloged.
Looks like it's fine, pending the amount of wood in the handle.
