Simucon..

I'm confused about a statement on the simucon information website. I was planning on going, but unfortunately I'm still underage. So, it says first that anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent. Then, in the same paragraph it says that anyone under the 18 must get a parental release signed and mailed in.. I don't have the exact quote because I have a firewall at school.. but you'd think that Simu would be clearer about these kinds of things. reg
I went to the website, and here is what it says:

Important Note to those under 18 years of age: If you are under 18 years of age, you must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Anyone under the age of 18 must have written permission from their parent or guardian in order to attend. There will be no exceptions. Please click here for further information.

Under the click here:

SimuCon Policies
AGE POLICY

Simutronics can NOT take responsibility for a minor. A minor is anyone under the age of 18. Anyone attending who is under the age of 18, but over the age of 12 may do so only under one of the following situations:

A minor may bring a parent or a legal guardian to the convention. Both the minor and the legal guardian or parent must register as a paid attendee of the convention. The guardian must sign a release form at the registration desk.

A minor may bring his or her parent or legal guardian to the registration desk at the convention, and have them sign the release form. The minor may, at this point, attend the convention without parent or legal guardian present.

A minor may print out our release form, have his or her parent or legal guardian fill out all of the information with a notarized signature and return it to us no later than June 1st, 2002. The minor may, at this point, attend the convention without parent or legal guardian present.

Simutronics must have a notarized release form in its possession at the time of registration. Signatures which have not been notarized, will NOT be honored under any circumstance and the minor will not be allowed to attend the convention and will not receive a refund.

**So basically, it's you need a release form no matter what, but you don't need a guardian attending.**

And you are right, that is a bit clear as mud on the first page. Hope this helps.
