A minor is anyone under the age of eighteen (18) years.

1.1.0 Parent

A parent is a person who has legal responsibility for the care of a minor, whether this is a biological parent, adoptive parent, or legal guardian. Parents will be responsible for supervising their child, children, or teenager(s) and ensuring their safety throughout the convention.

Section 2: Children

2.0.0 Registration

Minors ages zero through twelve (0-12) are considered children and shall attend the convention by being added to a parent’s registration using the register children feature.

2.1.0 Chaperoning

Children must be chaperoned at all times by their parent(s).

Section 3: Teenagers

3.0.0 Registration

Minors ages thirteen through seventeen (13-17) are considered teenagers and shall attend the convention by registering themselves just as an adult would. Their status as a minor will be noted on their registration badge so they may be quickly identified by staff and vendors.

3.1.0 Chaperoning

Teenagers ages thirteen through fifteen (13-15) must be chaperoned at all times by their parent(s).

Teenagers ages sixteen through seventeen (16-17) may attend the convention without a chaperone or without their parent(s) attending entirely, but they must produce a signed and notarized parental consent form upon checking in at registration. If they fail to produce this form then they must be chaperoned at all times by their parent(s).
