REGISTRATION STEP 2- TEAM INFORMATION
After you have purchased your team number and materials to DI HQ you will receive a confirmation of payment from DI HQ. Next, pay your State Affiliate Registration Fees above via check or VENMO. You will receive an invoice on your welcome to DI email!
Starting on August 1, 2024 STEP 2 will be open for registering with NE DI at the website below!
www.REGISTERYOURTEAM.ORG
August 1, 2024 thru January 15, 2025 the website will be live to finalize your team information: registeryourteam.org
Each school coordinator will be required to login to DI Resources page and add your team manager names and apply for background checks Once this is completed, your team managers can log into DI resources with their account credentials from DI HQ. On the dashboard you will see everything you need–accept the team manager Code of Conduct, enter the team information: team name, challenge choice, team members name, grade and age. Team Managers can click on the Registeryourteam link on their dashboard to access the registration database. By adding the team member info, a link is also generated that is emailed to the parents/guardians. When the parent clicks on the link, they can list any health concerns, allergies, etc. This step is imperative to keeping our kids safe. ***Remember–this step requires parent response so please do not wait to get your team completed.*** Appraiser information will also be required to be input, and a link is generated by team managers/coordinators on the website so appraisers will also login to enter information and accept the code of conduct.
We have implemented this new registration feature to allow teams to be formed and finalized as the season evolves.

AFFILIATE FINALS will be held in person in KEARNEY, NEBRASKA or will be held virtually, as health and safety conditions are evaluated.
Nebraska DI requires each team to provide a minimum of (1) Appraiser to attend Training, and to participate at the Affiliate Finals Tournament. NO EXCEPTIONS!
It is your option but highly recommended that each team provide an also additional participating Appraiser for a total of 2 per team. Teams that do not provide at least (1) trained, participating Appraiser may be subject to penalty, to be determined by Tournament Directors.
All Appraisers must complete mandatory training as outlined each year-either virtually or face-to-face, when scheduled as determined by the Training Director.
It is the responsibility of the Team Manager to recruit at least one volunteer to serve as an appraiser for each team they manage. Choose carefully as Appraisers will not be allowed to leave assigned post to watch any performances throughout the tournament day. Appraisers must be able to turn off cell phone during performances–please do not recruit anyone that would be “on call” for their employment. They are not allowed to leave during performances to ensure scoring consistency.
All Appraisers must be finalized and registered by January 15, 2025 on registeryourteam.org, NO changes after this date will be allowed. All Appraisers must also complete and pass a background check as outlined in the Appraiser Timeline.
Mandatory Appraiser training will be held for each region after January 15, 2025 and prior to all Tournaments. All information will be communicated via email to the coordinator and Team Manager. Additional Online Training information is available, contact your Training Director. All Training details will be emailed to each Appraiser and announced on the website and our Facebook page.
If your Appraisers are unable to attend Mandatory training and complete online training, they will not be certified to Appraise at any Tournament. Teams that do not provide a trained, participating Appraiser for the Affiliate Tournament may be subject to penalty, to be determined by Tournament Directors. No Exceptions!
Please choose your appraiser(s) carefully; make sure they understand the appraiser is directly responsible for impacting the team scores if they don’t show up!
We have had to take these steps to ensure we can properly staff our tournaments and ensure scoring is fair and equitable.
Appraisers will be given credentials to wear at Tournaments. Credentials must be worn at all tournaments and be visible to adhere to the Youth Protection Policy and Procedure.
Team Appraisers do not appraise at Destination Imagination Global Finals.
Rising Star teams are not required to provide a team appraiser.
