The Central Challenge (300 points)
Procedure: In this Challenge, the team will prepare an original six-minute or less
Improvisational Skit in a 30-minute period at the Tournament immediately prior to
their Presentation time. The team will prepare the Skit in a room called a StuDIo. During
their preparation time in the StuDIo, the team will integrate five Improv Elements
into their Skit. When their 30-minute StuDIo time is over, the team will be taken to the
Presentation Site. At the Presentation Site, the team will select a sixth Improv Element
to be incorporated into their Skit and then begin the Presentation of their Skit to the
Appraisers and audience.
Skit:1.
The team will create and perform an original Improv Skit that integratesa. six
Improv Elements into a story about a Superstition and its Origin. The set-up
and Skit will be up to six minutes in length.
The Team must present their Skit using the styles of three selected Film Genres.b.
Only the three Film Genres listed on the Tournament Data Form will be scored.
Points will awarded for the originality and creativity of the Skit about ac.
Superstition and its Origin, effectiveness of integration of the selected Film
Genres, a clearly developed story, and how well the Improv elements are
integrated into the story.
Required Improv Elements:2. The following six Improv Elements must be included
in the team’s Skit:
Selected in the StuDIoa. : Before the 30-minute StuDIo time begins, the team
will randomly choose Improv Elements 1, 2 and 3. After the StuDIo time begins,
the team will create an original Skit integrating Improv Elements 1, 2 and 3 as
well as Improv Elements 4 and 5, which are generated by the team.

TABLE THREE into the StuDIo. However, all the materials the team chooses to bring
must fit inside ONE cardboard box no larger that 2ft. x 2ft. x 2ft. No items may
extend above the top of the box. If the items extend above the top of the box, the
Check-In Appraiser will ask the team to choose which items to remove to make all
items fit. The materials are to be used to create all costumes, props and other items
used in the team’s Presentation. (Note: The Tool Box in A.11.b does NOT have to fit
inside the box.)
The team members (not the Team Manager) must carry all of their items intoa.
the StuDIo, and to the Presentation Site from the StuDIo, in one trip. The team

leave any unused materials behind. When deciding what materials to bring to
the Tournament, the team must remember that their Team Manager will take
only the Tool Box (11.b) and research notes (11.c) to the Presentation Site after
the StuDIo time ends. The team must take all their materials on stage with
them. The box and the remaining materials may be incorporated into the Skit
in any manner.
Materials listed in TABLE THREE11. : The materials the team wishes to use will be
chosen prior to the Tournament. Points will be awarded for creative use of the
materials. Remember: It is not the creativity of the materials the team brings to the
Tournament, but rather the creativity of what the team does with the materials
that is awarded points!
The team may bring any amount of any of the items listed in TABLE THREE.a.
But all selected materials MUST FIT in a cardboard box that is 2ft. x 2ft. x 2ft.
or smaller. The box must fit into a 2ft. x 2ft. x 2ft. (61cm x 61cm x 61cm) pre-

B. Special Rules for
Improvisational Challenges
Honoring the Intent of this Challenge1. : The intent of this Challenge is to create a
unique improvisational Skit based on the specific combination of Elements selected
attheTournament.PriortotheTournamentteamsareencouragedtoprepareforthe
many possible combinations of Improv Elements they may receive by generating
different scenarios, experimenting with the materials, creating potential characters,
and mixing and matching the various Improv Elements in practice sessions. It is
expected that teams will choose to use and include some of the ideas that come
fromtheirpracticesessionswhencombiningtheImprovElementschosenrandomly
at the Tournament into their unique Skit. As long as the team does not bring their
ideas for scenarios, potential characters, etc. into the StuDIo in written form, using
the ideas is acceptable and is in keeping with the intent of the Challenge.
If a team moves on to another level of Tournament and by chance selects one or
more of the same Elements, they are encouraged to create another original solution,
but no deduction will be taken if they reuse parts of an earlier solution.

If a team or any individual team member chooses to take on this2. Team
Challenge, they may not register for any other Team Challenge. No member of
an Improv Team may participate on any other team in any Challenge, including
another Improv Challenge. There is one exception to this rule: University Level
teams competing at Global Finals MAY register for this Challenge and another.
Expense Report:3. No Expense Report form is required for this Challenge.

after the Presentation. All costumes are to be created in the StuDIo or on
stage.
Jewelry, hair accessories, watches, glasses, or items from the team members’c.
pockets may not be used as props or be incorporated in any manner in the
Presentation. Team members may wear wristwatches for time management in
the StuDIo. The wristwatch can be worn during the Presentation but it may
not be incorporated into the solution in any way. The only“official time”is that
kept by the StuDIo Supervisor or theTimekeeper/Announcer, and these official
times are final.
C. At the Tournament
