Online Registration – Now Open!

Are you a college or high school student looking for bigger and badder Challenges? Are you ready to live on the edge at this year’s Global Finals? If so, then take it to the eXtreme!

DIeXtreme will amp up those creative juices and take you where no Challenge has ever taken you before. This year, FOUR Challenges will put your creativity, your stamina, and even your sanity to the ultimate test. And best of all, these Challenges are open to ALL Secondary or University Level individuals or teams. Really? Yup! Even if you are also registered for the DI "Flagship" Tournament at Global Finals, you can take your Global Finals experience to the eXtreme!

Each of the 2009 eXtreme Challenges requires a different amount of prep and time. And for the first time ever, the 4th DIeXtreme Challenge will give you a chance to step out ON-YOUR-OWN and be a team of ONE. (Yes, 1!)

Start Time: Wednesday, May 19 - evening
Presentation Time: Thursday, May 21 – 11:30 AM to 4:00 PM

For eXtreme purists… this one will put your creativity (and your endurance) to the ultimate test! Show up after Opening Ceremony to get your Challenge, work through the night, and present your solution the next day.

Start Time: Friday, May 22 – early morning
Presentation Time: Friday, May 22 – 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM

Ever wondered what DI would be like WITHOUT a team? Well, in this Challenge, you’ll be tested, sans team, in a gauntlet-style Challenge that will drive you to cooperate, coordinate and collaborate with strangers while you secretly build your very own creative conquest.

You must be 18 years or older to tackle this Challenge, and you do NOT need a team. The entry fee for this Challenge is per person. [Note: We do not recommend that team members participate in the MaX and ON-YOUR-OWN Challenges on the same day.]

Start Time: Thursday, May 21 - evening
Presentation Time: Friday, May 22 – 6:30 PM to 10:00 PM

This Challenge is so over-the-top we don’t dare schedule it for daytime. You’ll battle for eXtreme REALITY supremacy in this gritty, audio-visually intensive Challenge. Get ready to rock the audience and create scandal across the campus!

[Note: We do not recommend that team members participate in the MaX and ON-YOUR-OWN Challenges on the same day.]

Start Time: Friday, May 22 – 10:00 PM
Presentation Time: Saturday, May 23 – 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM

Due to popular demand, the grueling head-to-head Challenge is back, baby! You asked for more—and you’ll get more! Accept this hair-pulling, nail-biting Challenge on Friday night, and be ready to reign supreme on Saturday!

Who can do eXtreme?

Sign up early: spaces are limited for all three days of competition. eXtreme is open to all college students and all high school students (participants must have completed or be finishing 9th grade at the time of Global Finals – NO exceptions). Teams that include high school students under age 18 must also have an adult supervisor who is NOT a part of their team – NO exceptions.

What Challenges can I register for?

Teams may register for one, two, three, or all four Challenges, with NO exceptions. That’s right, we said it! (However, we do not recommend that team members participate in the MaX and ON-YOUR-OWN Challenges on the same day.) If you are registered to compete in the DI Flagship Tournament, you can ALSO do DI eXtreme. We’ll find a way to make the schedule work for you/your team.

Do I have to register as part of a team?

Unless you are competing in the ON-YOUR-OWN Challenge, you must register as a team. If you do not have a team but want to compete in any of the other three Challenges, we can help you link up with other individuals and form teams. Our University Level coordinator will serve as the clearinghouse to connect individuals. Contact Chris Groberg at university@dihq.org.

Does my team have to be participating in the DI program to go to Global Finals (to participate in DIeXtreme)?

NOPE! Come on down to Tennessee for an eXtreme Global Finals experience! You do NOT have to already be participating in the DI program. Yes, you read that right! Ain’t DIeXtreme so cool?

When and how do I register for DIeXtreme?

Each team must register for each of the eXtreme Challenges in which they plan to participate on www. ShopDI.org by April 15, 2009. Once you have paid the entry fee, we will send you a Going to Globals binder, Team Registration Form (for housing packages) and a Team Practice Guide.
