Mid-Cities Destination Imagination Regional Tournament March 5, 2022 at Richland High School

Doors open at 7:00AM

Tournament Check-in: This is the time to check online paperwork and pick up t-shirt and pin preorders. Team check-in is available on Saturday from 8:00am-12:00pm.

Attention Team Managers! There was a problem with the servers at last weekend’s tournaments and it has come to our attention that having a hard copy of all of your team paperwork could be very helpful for appraisers should we experience the same difficulties. Please plan to bring copies of all tournament documents. You will find a blue “PDF” button on your document pages and you can create a PDF to print by clicking that button.

Most teams will be escorted directly from Presentation to Instant Challenge. For the few that have Instant Challenge first, please be at the Instant Challenge check-in 10 minutes prior to scheduled time. Instant Challenge check-in is located at the end of H hall. If you are a Team Manager with more than one team, you will not be allowed in the Instant Challenge room with your team until your last team of the day.

Tournament Volunteers

Appraisers – Every team must provide at least one tournament Appraiser. Appraiser Volunteers are trained to officiate this tournament. It’s fun and rewarding, and requires no specific experience or expertise – but it does require a commitment of time. Appraisers will attend a virtual training during the week of February 12 and will work the tournament on March 5 from 7:30am-5:00pm. Appraisers must be 18 or older and have completed high school. As an Appraiser, please remember that you will have to work all during the tournament and should expect to miss your child’s performance. All appraisers will receive a Mid-Cities DI appraiser t-shirt.

Support Volunteers – It takes a small army to put on a successful tournament, and we can always use extra hands for things like registration, watching doors, cleanup, etc. Every team must provide at least one support volunteer. Support Volunteers are required to work a 2 hour shift and will be able to attend their team members presentation. If you need to switch the assigned volunteer for your team, please complete this form to keep your volunteer informed.
