2022 ODO Rules & Category Clarifications

As our annual show nears, we are receiving more and more questions regarding the category and rule changes for 2022. Following are the revisions for 2022:

Categories:
  • Gundam: The four Gundam categories have been split from under Figures, allowing for a "Best Gundam" special award.

  • Miscellaneous & Other Materials: Two categories have been added. The old Miscellaneous (Cat. 69) is for primarily plastic models and the winner will be Best of Show eligible. Cat. 70 is Maritime, wood constructed, and is NOT Best of Show eligible. Cat. 71 is All Other Types and is for paper and other materials (not plastic nor wood) and is NOT Best of Show eligible. These changes mirror those at the IPMS USA level and are due to the proliferation of non-plastic-based models.
Rules:
  • Model Registration: Entries are limited to 8 models total with no more than 1 per category.

  • Display Only Table: There will only be one Display Only table. Once it is filled, no more will be placed.

  • Scratch-Built: 3D printed models/parts ARE allowed, but must be entered in the appropriate stock categories and NOT in Scratch-Built.

  • Composition: If the predominate material in a model is other than plastic, those entries MUST be placed in either Cat. 70 or 71 (see "Miscellaneous & Other Materials" under "Categories" above).

  • Photos in Time: In addition to how well the models capture the photos displayed, they will also be judged on the quality of the build.
If there are further questions, please email the Head Judge at greyhund@verizon.net.
