Clarifications

What is a Clarification?

There are two types of Clarifications: The Published Clarification and the Team Clarification.

Published Clarifications

When the International Challenge Masters feel there is an issue about a Team Challenge or the Rules of the Road that all teams should know about, they write a Published Clarification. A Published Clarification supersedes the Rules of the Road and the Team Challenge, as well as a Team Clarification. Every team is expected to know the Published Clarifications for its Challenge.

Team Clarifications

You may not be sure whether you understand something about your Team Challenge or the Rules. When you have a question and you can’t find the answer in the Challenge, the Published Clarifications or the Rules of the Road, it’s time to ask for a Team Clarification. A Clarification is a statement that explains the boundaries of a stated rule or Team Challenge requirement. Questions asked by your team are answered by the International Challenge Masters (ICMs) in charge of your Team Challenge. The ICMs will answer your team’s questions and send them directly back to you. The question and answer will not be shared with any other team. For more information, please refer to the Clarification pages in the Rules of the Road in the 2009-10 Destination ImagiNation Team Program Materials.

The Team Clarification System is unavailable at present.

It will be up and running in the November 2009 timeframe. At that time you will be able to ask your question and receive an answer that will not be shared with any other team.
