UPDATES

Stay updated on any Clarifications for the Challenges, there is the possiblity that they can alter how you think about the challenge.

Also, it is important to note that being creative, and taking risks can really impress an Appraisal team. But sometimes there are consequences if the team pushes beyond the spirit of the challenge. If your team does not know if they have gone over that fine line, have them ask for a personal Clarification from the International Challenge Masters. Procedure for this is in the Rules of the Road. Or contact the Directors or this website, and we'll tell you how to do it. Cut-off for these Clarifications is Feb. 15th.
