University Level- Let's Get Started!

University Level (UL)Teams- Let's Get Started!

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 21-24, 2008.

Option 1: DI Team Challenge

Prior to Global Finals, a UL team may select one of the five DI Team Challenges and prepare a solution. The team will present the solution and participate in 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 Finals Tournaments. University Level 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 Secondary and University Level students. Some Regions and Affiliates will host DI eXtreme Tournaments, and a DI eXtreme Tournament is held at Global Finals. See the Destination ImagiNation, Inc. website for further information. Teams presenting DI eXtreme solutions may register for the Team Challenge competition.

Please note: Rules and regulations pertaining to the competitive Team Challenges do NOT apply to DI eXtreme teams as 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 DI eXtreme teams attending at that site.
