Tournament & Event Guides

This page is for current participants in our program, and lists the Event Guides for recent and upcoming New York Destination Imagination events.

We present a series of non-competitive training events for teams and their adult managers in the fall and winter of each year. These lead up to our Regional and Affiliate Tournaments, which take place in March / April. The program year culminates with Global Finals, our international tournament, held in late May. 

If you are interested in learning more about our yearly events, please visit How the NYDI Season Works.

Destination Imagination of New York, Inc. (NYDI) is a Licensee of Destination Imagination, Inc. (DIHQ); as such, all NYDI tournaments are required to be operated in accordance with DIHQ.'s published tournament and Challenge guidelines, including but not limited to the Challenges, Rules of the Road, Tournament/Challenge Master/Appraiser Guide, Affiliate Accessibility Resource (Vol 1. & Vol 2.), DI Scoring Program documentation, clarifications, and any other DIHQ guidance.

Licensees are required to submit an Event Guide for every tournament that they operate. An event guide (sometimes called an access guide, building guide, accessibility guide, participation guide, or visiting guide) is a resource that shows how to get to an event or program, the exterior and interior details of the venue, shows photos and gives descriptions of various rooms and paths of travel, and offers other helpful information to participants about what to expect and about our expectations for attendees. An accessibility guide is especially useful to people with disabilities (physical or hidden) and their communities, but is intended to be useful for all event attendees.
