Appraisers are specially trained adult volunteers who evaluate team solutions of Destination ImagiNation tournaments. For fairness, every team in a specific Team Challenge Level is evaluated by the same group of Appraisers.
No prior experience is necessary to become an Appraiser — the required training is free. Relatives who are not Team Managers may be Appraisers, but they may neither evaluate their child's team, nor leave their post to go watch their child's performance.
If you see a story DESTINATION IMAGINATION TRAINING MATERIALS containing the Rules of the Road, etc. (under Appraiser Documents), you're registered as a Tournament Appraiser this season. If you're not affiliated with a team but would still like to sign up at a tournament, please follow the instructions under the ACT menu tab above for Create a User Account and Register for a Tournament. You'll be an Appraiser, not a Team Manager. Leave the Team Number blank.
