SCOOPS "Rules of the Block" for Non-Competitive Level: Rising Stars!®

(With apologies to Destination ImagiNation's ® Rules of the Road)

SCOOPS invites Destination ImagiNation ® Rising Stars! teams to perform their solutions in a fun and non-competative setting at their Regional Showcase, Saturday March 20th!

For the Rising Stars! team solving the Rising Stars Challenge:

• The SCOOPS registration fee for performing at the Regional Showcase in the Rising Stars is $25.00.
• Each Team Manager is responsible for obtaining a volunteer for a half-day (4 hours) assignment only. If your volunteer would like to work all day, or wishes to be a certified Appraiser at a SCOOPS sponsored event, please let us know. (All Appraisers must attend the State Appraisal Team Training.)

Rules and regulations pertaining to the competitive Team Challenges do NOT apply to Rising Stars! teams. However, there are Safety Guidelines in the Rising Stars! Challenge that the team must follow if they are participating in a Destination ImagiNation Tournament. Also, depending on the Tournament Site, there may be “site-specific” Safety Restrictions for Rising Stars! teams. Contact your Tournament Director for this information.

SCOOPS encourages Rising Stars!® Team Managers to limit their teams to seven (7) team members, however, SCOOPS will allow a maximum of ten (10) team members.

Rising Stars!® teams will not be scheduled for an InstantChallenge unless the Team Manager requests participation on the Team Registration form or notifies the Affiliate Director at least two (2) weeks in advance of the Affiliate Tournament. Primary Level teams participating in Instant Challenge will not be scored but Instant Challenge Appraisers will provide feedback to the team in the Instant Challenge room following the team's participation.

Rising Stars!® teams will not be scored, but will receive feedback about their performance. Appraisers will be talking to the teams after their performances, just as the would to a competative team.

The Team Manager should check with the Head Appraiser of the Challenge half an hour after their performance for feedback forms.

All SCOOPS Rising Stars!® teams will be invited to a special "Cookies and Milk Party" and will be listed in the State Tournament program. So, Rising Stars!® teams - come show us your solutions! We're proud of YOU!
