University Level Teams
In the University Level of participation, college/university-aged students from around the world have two options for participation at the Destination ImagiNation Global Finals Tournament, to be held at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Tennessee, May 26-29, 2009.
Option 1: DI Team Challenge
Prior to Global Finals, a University Level (UL) team may select one of the Destination ImagiNation (DI) Team Challenges and prepare a solution. The team will present the solution and participate in an Instant Challenge at Global Finals. In some Affiliates, UL teams may also have an opportunity to present their Team Challenge solutions at Regional or Affiliate Tournaments. UL teams presenting Team Challenge solutions may also register for the DI eXtreme competition.
Option 2: DI eXtreme®
DI eXtreme is a Creative Problem Solving program especially designed for University Level (UL) students. Some Regions and Affiliates will host DI eXtreme Tournaments, and a DI eXtreme Tournament is held at Global Finals. UL teams presenting DI eXtreme solutions may register for the Team Challenge competition. In many Regions/Affiliates and Global Finals, high school participants are permitted to participate in DI eXtreme.
Please note: Rules and regulations pertaining to the competitive Team Challenges do NOT apply to DI eXtreme teams: the DI eXtreme program has its own set of rules. However, in the case of a DI eXtreme Tournament being held at an Affiliate DI Tournament, there may be “site-specific” Safety Restrictions for attending DI eXtreme teams.
Eligibility
Who is Eligible to take part at the University Level (UL)? All members of UL teams (Team Challenge or DI eXtreme) must be currently enrolled full-time students from a college, university, trade or technical school, or the equivalent in the military. High school seniors who are bound for higher education (college, university, trade school, military) are also eligible. Teams may be comprised of students from different colleges, universities, trade, and/or technical schools. When registering for a membership, UL teams must select a team name and identify one Affiliate to which they will “belong” for registration purposes. All members of DI eXtreme teams MUST be age 18 or older.
More than one Team Challenge?
YES! University Level (UL) teams MAY choose to solve and present more than one Team Challenge at Global Finals, including the Improvisational Challenge, Do or DI®. This rule applies to UL teams participating in the Team Challenge competition ONLY.
