Here is the new 2010-2011 presentation given by Affiliate Challenge Masters Art Mander and Susie Balagna at both TEAM Manager Trainings for UMO. There are also a bunch of additional notes, with great information, on a variety of topics, for Team Managers and Teams doing this Challenge.

One of the prime things that we as Challenge Masters try to      stress in Team Manager Training is that the more clearly a team understands the Challenge rules, the more fun they seem to have at their Presentation. As a Team Manager it is not Interference to work with your team to help them understand the basic Challenge rules. You can not project a solution, but you can be sure that they have the basics down.

This concept is no different than a baseball game. You can't play the game for the team, you can't bat or field the ball, but you can be sure that they know running to first base instead of left field when they get a hit is what the rules state they must do. Creativity does not necessarily equate with chaos and there are definitely some rules associated with every Destination ImagiNation Challenge.

Every year there are certain Challenge areas that we think might cause teams trouble if they ignore them. These are areas that are stated clearly in the Challenge, but that we think teams might not understand fully how important they are. We make every effort to point these areas out to everyone in order to level the playing field and to let teams get on to the real business at hand. Here are several areas that we want every team to understand in regard to Unidentified Moving Object :  Check out the Clarifications that have been issued 

BEST OF LUCK AND MAY ALL OF YOUR UNIDENTIFIED OBJECTS BE MOVING !
