Clarification of autograph rules

Post by waynoinsano »

I was looking through your policies to see if there were any changes this year a noticed a contradiction in rules.

General Convention Rules:
Lining up is permitted no earlier than 2 hours prior for general events, and 30 minutes prior to autograph sessions. Documented disabled persons, staff, on-duty volunteers, guests of honor, and dealers are not required to stand in line for events.

Autograph Policy:
Attendees are not allowed to line up for an autograph session more than 60 minutes before the scheduled start time.

Which rule is the correct one.

The same rules apply.

The disability sticker allows for equal access not preferential access. At the convention, please seek out the accessibility department to clarify what the sticker allows and what it does not.
