Registration
By now all of your teams should be registered in the DI Event Management System. Any registration concerns should be addressed to [email protected].
Housing
NYDI has great on-campus housing in Morril Hall, right on the Presidential Quad, which is ground zero for pin trading, near the athletic facility, and has good transportation links to the rest of the tournament.
The room has two beds, a mini-fridge, Air Conditioning, and desks. Beds are lofted (bed above, desk below), but we understand that they can be lowered.
For more information, please see UT’s Morrill Hall page.
Travel
NYDI and DI Inc. do not provide transportation to Global Finals. This is the responsibility of the team, or perhaps of the team’s sponsoring organization. There is some information about Global Finals travel at Global Finals Transportation.
Forms
Each team must bring a new completed set of Tournament Data Forms with them to Global Finals. Global Finals appraisers will NOT have access to the forms which you handed to the appraisers at any of the NYDI tournaments.
There is a completely separate set of Consent Forms required for Global Finals.
Teams are reminded that they should print out a copy of the Published Clarifications and any Team Clarifications which they requested.
Pin Trading
It has been said that beyond the Challenges, pin trading is the social glue which binds teams from all around the world together at Global Finals.
Every team member will receive a few NYDI pins in their Champ Pack, but most participants buy additional pins so that they have more to trade. See the Champ Pack page and our NYDI Shop for more information.
Performance Sites
Teams and Team Managers should read the information at Important Challenge Info for Teams & Team Managers carefully. This contains critical information about your Challenge Site, including various site-specific rules, procedures, etc. Note that the Presentation Site may differ by Level. This is a MUST READ for Team Managers, and recommended for the teams themselves.
