Coalition Team Registration
We understand your entire team cannot always participate at Nationals, so to ensure you meet the minimum requirement of participants, competitors within the same region may work together, as a coalition team, for any of the following competitions:
– Group Projects (1-6 competitors – note that the minimum has changed to 1 competitor for all group projects for Nationals 2017)
– MIST Quiz Bowl (2-6 competitors)
– Debate (2 competitors)
– Improv (4-6 competitors)
– Basketball (5-10 competitors)
Each coalition team must email registration@getmistified.com by 11:59 PM EST on June 30th to approve their coalition team. The email should include the complete list of competitor names, the school name and team name each competitor is registered with, the region they are competing from, and the competition they are competing in, for each coalition team (please follow example below).
Coalition team for Business Venture:
Khadija Mohamed; Kaimuki High School; Team Kaimuki; Hawaii
Leslie Smith; Moanalua High School; Moanalua Koalas; Hawaii
Yahya Khan; Moanalua High School; Moanalua Koalas; Hawaii
Coalition Team Rules
1) All competitors competing on each coalition team must be qualifiers for Nationals 2017 in that competition (placed 1st - 4th in that specific competition or placed 1st - 3rd in Basketball at their Regional Tournament).
– Example: Aisha and Maryam placed 4th in Improv from Moanalua High School, and Laila and Zahra placed 2nd from Kiamuki High School at MIST Hawaii 2017. They can compete in Improv at Nationals 2017 as a coalition team for Improv. Mona and her team placed 6th in Improv, and Ameena did not compete in Improv at Regionals. Neither Mona or Ameena can compete in Improv at Nationals 2017, not even with the coalition team.
2) A maximum of two (2) separate schools may register as a coalition team for the allowed competitions, with the exception of basketball (which may include multiple schools to form a coalition).
3) The coalition team must abide by the minimum/maximum number of competitors defined above.
– Example: MIST Quiz Bowl will still require 2-6 members, but they can come from a max of two (2) schools.
4) Coalition teams will be counted as one team, and as such regular team rules apply for each competition, this includes one unified submission per coalition team.
– Example: Moanalua High School placed 1st in Quiz Bowl and Kiamuki High School placed 2nd in the same competition, but only one competitor from each team is able to come to Nationals. They can compete together to fulfill the minimum for Quiz Bowl (2 competitors).
– Note: For best results in Group Projects, either expand on one team’s project from Regionals or work together on a new project. Group Project outlines/abstracts with a 4-week early submission deadline still require approval.
5) No substitutions will be allowed for any competitions. This means that a competitor who did not qualify for a competition during Regionals will not be able to compete during Nationals in place of their teammate.
Are you eligible for Nationals?
The top 4 ranking competitors in every competition and the top 3 ranking teams in Basketball are eligible to compete. We will be updating regional qualifier list links as they become available.
