Destination Imagination
Introduction
Introduction
Teams determine which challenge they will work together to solve. Teams will also practice Instant Challenges. Each team must participate in an Instant Challenge during the tournament. This is a creative quick-thinking challenge that is not revealed until the day of the tournament. Students must be ready to listen, think on their feet, and work as a team to solve the problem. The Instant Challenge, or IC, is tabulated into the final score in the tournament.

District Representative
Sabrina Ballard helps form teams, coordinates and supports Team Managers, registers team memberships with Destination Imagination, registers teams with the local and Affiliate (state) organizations, and communicates information to teams.
Team Managers
Team Managers are adults aged 18 and up who facilitate Destination Imagination teams. Many managers are parents, teachers, or community members.
How to become a Team Manager:
- Register
- Recruit 2 to 7 students that are at the same grade level, or one year apart.
- Teams can be madeup of students from different campuses. The team must decide which campus they will represent.
- Plan the day, time, and location of your weekly practice.
- Start meetings and have fun.
***Team Managers and other students or adults outside the team may NOT offer suggestions or information on solving the challenge. This is called “interference” and points will be deducted at the tournament. ***
