■Eligibility for Exhibiting in the Show
・Exhibitors are limited to companies and other organizations supplying products and services consistent with the purpose of the Show as set by the OMO. The OMO has the right to determine if any product or service is consistent with the purpose of the Show.

■Restriction of Exhibits and Products for Sale

■Regulations for Exhibit
・The decorating/exhibiting methods are described in the "Exhibitors Manual" to be supplied by the OMO, and all exhibitors are required to follow the guidelines in the Manual. There are limits to special structures, such as hanging structure and two-story booths, and the height of exhibition space, depending on the number of booths and location of booths.
・Each exhibitor must ensure that its exhibit does not interfere with those of adjacent exhibitors. The OMO will determine, based on the Exhibitors Manual, whether an exhibitor is interfering with another exhibit or whether there is violation of rules, and the exhibitor is to comply with the OMO's determination.

■Exhibitor Name
・The exhibitor name on the Booth Space Application Form must be the official name. Unless the OMO is informed of any changes in advance, the name on the form will be used for the exhibitors list in the Show advertisements, official web sites of the Show, guidebook, etc.

■Determination of Booth Location
・The location of booths will be determined at a booth location selection meeting to be held on June 15, 2012, (for exhibitors that applied for 40 booths or more) and June 26, 2012 (for exhibitors that applied for fewer than 40 booths).
・If the exhibitor will not be able to attend the booth location selection meeting, the exhibitor must entrust the booth location selection to the OMO in advance.
・Selection methods:
・In descending order beginning with exhibitors requesting a larger number of booths, exhibitors will be asked to select desired booth locations from among available booths, prepared by the organizer in advance, based on the number of booths.
・The selection order, if there are multiple exhibitors with the same number of booths, will be as follows:

1.Exhibitors that participated in the preceding Show (TOKYO GAME SHOW 2011) and applied for booths before the application deadline.
2.Exhibitors that participated in the preceding Show but applied for booths after the deadline.

5. If there are multiple exhibitors in the above conditions, the member of Computer Entertainment Supplier's Association (CESA) has priority to select a booth location. Further determination in the same conditions will be selected by a lottery.

Exhibitors that did not participate in the preceding Show and applied for booths after the deadline.
* Depending on the state of applications, there may be cases in which the selection method will be changed in advance.

・The exhibitor cannot change the location of booths after their selection.
