State Tournament 2020
UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Each year the DI teams all over the world come together to showcase their creativity and hard work to see which teams will advance to the global level of competition. The Louisiana Destination Imagination State Tournament will take place on Saturday, February 23, 2019, in Bossier City.  The cost for each team to enter the tournament is $100 and the deadline to enter teams is Friday, December 14. Teams must be registered through Destinationimagination.org in order to register for State Tournament. The teams with the highest score in each category will have the opportunity to advance to Global Finals in Kansas City, Missouri. Invitations to Global Finals are decided by the appraisers in each category and the Affiliate Director. Teams advancing to Global Finals must meet the requirements in their category and score high enough to receive an invitation. Unopposed teams do not automatically receive an invitation to participate at Global Finals. 

During the registration process, each team must submit a T-shirt order. One t-shirt must be ordered for each team member and team manager in Louisiana. Your team is welcome to order as many additional shirts as you would like for friends and family. Each shirt is $15 for sizes Youth Medium to Adult XL and $16 for sizes 2X and 3X. You will need to keep a record of what size each person has ordered so that you can distribute them accordingly. On the State Tournament form, fill in the number of each size you are ordering and total them at the bottom. The cost of the T-shirts is due on January 26 to Nancy Farley, Affiliate Director. Checks for the cost of State Tournament and T-shirts should be made payable to LADI.
