Registration is OPEN! 

The registration website is https://registeryourteam.org which you can access through this link here or on on the Illinois DI website under the Tournament Tab.

Some of the teams still have not chosen a Challenge, picked their level of competition, or named a Team Manager on the DI Resources site.  You will need to complete this step in order to register. Please log in here https://www.destinationimagination.org/ and proceed to the Resource area to start the registration process.

You can view this screen cast for instructions on using the registration site:

Please remember, in addition to registering for the tournament, all teams must supply an adult volunteer to help officiate at the tournament. This is the second most important adult position in DI after being a Team Manager.  We need every team to supply at least one person to be an Appraiser at the tournament. More about the requirements are below.

Region 3 Tournament Registration Closes Feb. 22, 2019 so the Tournament Planning Team can prepare!

Registration Special Note: Last year there was difficulty completing registration by the deadline due to not having complete team member information. The Team Member section of registration is needed for other Affiliates using this same system and all information is not required for Illinois teams. So this section does not need to be completely filled in to participate in the Regional tournament. On the Team Member section of the registration form, enter the team member name, age, and grade, and bypass all other info except a contact email address. We suggest using the Team Manager or Coordinator email address for this. All other fields can be completed with a placeholder, like a period or dash, and then check the box at the end that states you are using a written consent form to complete.

Team(s) information is not sent on to our Regional Tournament scheduler by the system until ALL sections have been marked “completed” by TM or School Coordinators on registeryourteam.org

After you register your team, you will find the link to send to your Appraiser so they can register. Or you can give them the link below, but be sure to also give them your team number, challenge and challenge level.  The appraiser must indicate that they are representing your team in order for your team to get credit for them volunteering.

Special note about your Appraisal Volunteer:  Each team is responsible for providing an Appraiser 2-day commitment: Training day and Tournament day. Appraisers must be 18 and can be any adult, i.e… A team parent, Grandparent, Aunt, Uncle, Teachers, a family friend, Co-Worker, Neighbor, etc…

To ensure fair scoring at each Challenge site:

  1. Appraiser’smay not appraise in their child/family members specific challenge.
  2. Are NOT guaranteed they will see their team performance.

Even if your Appraiser has appraised at a tournament before, they must attend training this year.

 If a Team is unable or chooses not to provide a Tournament Appraiser  

If your teams’ registered Appraiser does NOT attend training or fails to appear for the tournament the non-Appraiser fee will be applied. Please express the importance that they honor their commitment to the team. Stop by the registration table the day-of the tournament to get TM packet and verify no additional fees are needed before proceeding to competition check-in.  All fees must be paid to receive scores.

PLEASE Note that our goal is NOT to collect additional fees. We need your team’s registration and Volunteer Appraisal information to move forward with Tournament planning. ILDI is a completely volunteer-run organization! This means everything from planning to clean-up for ILDI tournaments is done by volunteers with jobs, families, extra circular activities and just overall crazy busy lives just like each of you! It is critical that we get your information by the deadlines in order to make sure tournament planning can run smoothly.

For questions about the tournament and registration, please contact Diana Dignan.
