Dear Team Managers, School Coordinators, Officials, and all,
Our 2020-21 DI Timeline has been formulated by DIHQ to include all aspects of a competition – from paperwork, to explaining details to appraisers. Please mark your calendars, share the timeline with all Team Members and their families, and enjoy the ride. This is new to everyone world-wide. We will all get through this together!!
We will all have questions along the way. If Steffenie, Scott or I cannot answer them, we will find someone who can. We look forward to helping our teams succeed and learn amazing new problem solving skills!
All the best to each and every one!!
Kim Bejot – Co-Affiliate Director
Tournament Timeline
November 1st, Challenges released will be: Technical, Scientific, Fine Arts, Service Learning, Rising Stars. The other two will be available soon after that.
Tournaments
All TC and IC will be pre-recorded.
All will be submitted to a central location through the Resource Area and will be in You Tube format.
All team paperwork will also be uploaded to the Resource Area.
All will be appraised Virtually.
There will be more information on how to do this at the appropriate time.
Appraising at a Virtual Tournament
Challenge Masters will create a group email so they can communicate, answer questions, discuss special awards, etc.
The Appraisal Team will come together virtually before they Appraise the Team Challenges.
All Appraisers assigned to an Appraisal Team will complete the online trainings.
Appraisal Teams can view together and score together or score on their own time without the other Appraisers. Deadlines are not negotiable.
Teams will have an additional video where team members will explain general questions that most Appraisers ask.
All Appraisers will appraise using Mobile Scoring. All Appraisers will need access to a device (laptop, etc). Training on Mobile Scoring will be available in December.
