The Rules of SkeptiCamp build upon the Rules of BarCamp.

edit Rules of BarCamp

• 1st Rule: You do talk about BarCamp.
• 2nd Rule: You do blog about BarCamp.
• 3rd Rule: If you want to present, you must write your topic and name in a presentation slot.
• 4th Rule: Only three word intros.
• 5th Rule: As many presentations at a time as facilities allow for.
• 6th Rule: No pre-scheduled presentations, no tourists.
• 7th Rule: Presentations will go on as long as they have to or until they run into another presentation slot.
• 8th Rule: If this is your first time at BarCamp, you HAVE to present. (Ok, you don't really HAVE to, but try to find someone to present with, or at least ask questions and be an interactive participant.)

edit The SkeptiCamp rule

SkeptiCamp adds one rule that we believe is essential to the theme of skepticism...

Be prepared to cite your sources on any claim that is likely to be challenged -- the intent of this rule is simply to allow others to evaluate the substance of your talk for themselves.

According to Atlanta SkeptiCamp organizer Taylor Proctor, the second rule of SkeptiCamp is to BE AWESOME.
