	1) Supercon is   open to anyone who wishes to enter. It is not necessary to be a member of   either the International Plastic Modelers Society or the IPMS Fort Worth   Scale Modelers. Membership in either or both organizations is encouraged.
	2) The   restriction to limit the contest to plastic models is not in effect. Any   model from any commercial kit may be used. Flying models are ineligible.
	3) All models   must be the sole effort of the individual whose name is on the registration   sheet. Proxy entries will be allowed at the normal registration fees.
	4) Adult   assistance is not allowed in the Junior categories (ages 1114). Adult   assistance in Children's categories (age 10 &amp; under) Is allowed as long   as a full explanation defining the assistance and signed by the assisting   adult accompanies the model.
	5) Any model which has won   a first prize or better in a previous Supercon is ineligible for competition.
	6) Dioramas:   Bases will be allowed In all categories and will not be considered in judging   except in the diorama classes. A base may simulate the surface on which the   prototype would be found; however, nothing other than the surface may be   used. Aircraft and vehicles may rest on simulated ground or paving, and   aircraft requiring beaching gear or dollies may be so equipped. Ships may be   displayed in simulated water (no dry docks). The base may not be the dominant   feature of the entry, and may be only slightly larger than the perimeter of   the model. The contest chairman and judges reserve the right to exclude over   sized bases. Models may Include the primary crew figure and one additional   figure in a non-action pose. The addition of other figures or equipment   outside the model will make the model a diorama. Dioramas are not only judged   on their technical merit, but also on the strength of the theme or story they   represent.
	7) The contest   chairman will be the final authority as to placement of questionable entries,   applicable categories, placement of unusual scales and diorama questions.
	8) Categories may be added   or deleted by the contest chairman or his alternate.
