The following rules apply to all students competing in MIST regionally and nationally.
Private/Public Schools
Home Schooled Students
In order to join MIST, home schooled students must follow guidelines set by their Region. Contact our regional Registration Chair (email: nblassy@getmistified.com) for information. Qualifications to join MIST are based on your age and your school grade. Refer to Age restrictions for more information.
Private/Public Schools
- Students must form/join the MIST team from their own high school. All students from a school must register together as one team.
- If the MSA as a whole chooses not to participate in the tournament, the few members who would like to join MIST can still represent their high school. It is not required to have an MSA in order to compete.
- If the high school does not have an MSA, try your best to form a MIST team open to students/faculty of any religion, gender, or national origin in your high school. If you do not have one already, refer to How to form an MSA. Having a student organization may make it easier to keep registration organized, but is not essential.
- If you are unable to form an MSA or student organization, you can:
- Try convincing another cultural organization or even your high school to sponsor MIST as an official extracurricular activity. This may help to ensure that your absence is excused if your MIST-Regional is scheduled to start on a weekday.
- If this does not work, you may still take part in MIST by unofficially representing your school. Print theParent Permission Letter, get it signed by your parent or guardian, and turn it in to your school. You must follow all other registration instructions.
