A. Central Challenge - Section 1
Intent of the Challenge:
• The team must use non-verbal theatrical techniques
to present a team-created Story about a character
that uses a Disguise.
• Teams will design and construct at least two masks
that enhance the Story.
• One of the masks will change in appearance.
A. Central Challenge – Section 2
2. The Story: What is more mysterious than a disguise? The Story behind it!
The team will use non-verbal theatrical techniques to present a teamcreated Story about a character that uses a Disguise.
a. The Story may be set in any location, real or imaginary, and in any
time period.
b. Teams will present the Story using ONLY non-verbal theatrical
techniques. This includes, but is not limited to, facial expressions,
gestures, body language, movement, music, sound effects, dance,
actions, and auditory non-verbal expressions (for example, laughs,
sighs, snickers, moans). During the Presentation, the team must
not write, speak, sing, or use verbal language of any kind.
i. The team may include sounds or music in the Presentation as
long as the sounds or music do not contain real words or madeup words. Words that can be used in place of sounds (for
example, buzz and bang) are not allowed.
A. Central Challenge – Section 2
ii. The team must not use written words or letters from any language to
enhance the Story. For example, teams must not put words or letters
on props, scenery, and costumes. The only written words or letters
that the team may make visible to the audience and Appraisers are the
team’s Team Name, the School/Organization Name, and Level, which
can only be written on the Team Identification Sign.
iii. During the Presentation, team members may speak privately or write
notes to each other as long as these communications do not enhance the
Presentation. Spoken or written language that the team intends for
the audience or Appraisers to hear will result in an Illegal Procedure
Deduction.
iv. The team will earn points for clear and effective non-verbal storytelling.
This means how well the team uses non-verbal theatrical techniques to
convey the main points (beginning, middle, and end) of the Story.
c. The team will earn points for the creativity of the Story.
Questions for Appraiser Training
Challenge C: In Disguise
1. What is meant by non-verbal communication?
2. Can the team use letters on costumes, props or scenery?
3. Can teams use numbers and/or symbols on costumes, props
or scenery?
4. Can team members use sound effects that sound similar to
words (i.e. bzz, hmph, etc.)?
5. What happens if the team writes more on the Team
Identification Sign than just their Team Name,
School/Organization Name and Level?
Questions for Appraiser Training
Challenge C: In Disguise
1. In this Challenge, teams may not use any verbal language (A.2.b).
This means they may not write, speak, or sing or use any verbal
language of any kind during the Presentation. Therefore, teams must
use other theatrical techniques to convey the story to the Appraisers
and audience.
2. Section A.2.b.ii states the team may not use written words or letters
from any language to enhance the story. Letters would be a form of
verbal communication. Therefore, teams may not use letters on
costumes, props, scenery or any other place that would enhance the
story. The only place where letters are allowed are on the Team
Identification sign.
Questions for Appraiser Training
Challenge C: In Disguise
If a team member wears a commercially made piece of clothing that has
words or letters on it and the team uses this piece of clothing to
enhance the story, then the team engaged in an Illegal Procedure.
However, if a team member wears a commercially made piece of
clothing that has words or letters on it and the team does not use it to
enhance the story, then this is not illegal. In these cases, this
commercially made clothing piece must not be considered part of the
team member’s costume.
3. Teams are allowed to use numbers, as long as they are written
using digits (i.e. 1, 34, 104, etc.) and not in word form (for example
one, thirty-four, one hundred four, etc.). Likewise, teams may not speak
the numbers out loud, because that would qualify as using words, which
is prohibited according to A.2.b.
Symbols do not qualify as verbal communication. Therefore, teams may
use symbols in the Presentation.
Questions for Appraiser Training
Challenge C: In Disguise
4. Section A.2.b states that teams will use non-verbal theatrical
techniques in the Presentation. Sound effects are listed as an example
of non-verbal theatrical techniques. Therefore, all sound effects,
including those that are similar to words, are to be allowed in this
Challenge. The team should receive an Illegal Procedure deduction only
if the Appraisers are sure that the team intended to use a word and not a
sound effect.
5. As Section A.2.b.ii states the only written words that the team may
make visible to the audience and the Appraisers are the Team Name,
School/Organization Name, and Level. If a team displays more
information using words or letters on their sign, Appraisers should not
take these additional words or letters into account when scoring for clear
and effective non-verbal storytelling. If the Prep Area Appraiser notices
something on the sign besides what is allowed, the team should be
given the opportunity to remove it before they start their Presentation.
Questions for Appraiser Training
Challenge C: In Disguise
6. Can the team communicate privately?
6. Section A.2.biii states that during the Presentation,
private spoken or written communication between team
members is allowed as long as it does not enhance the
Presentation. Therefore, teams may communicate with
each other privately as long as the communication is not
meant for the Appraisers or audience to hear.
A. Central Challenge – Section 3
3. The Disguise: From moustaches and body language to camouflage and costumes,
disguises come in many forms. Whatever the method of disguise, the result is the same
– a hidden identity.
a.
During the Presentation, a character must use a Disguise. For the purpose of this
Challenge, this means that the character must first present one identity and then
change appearance, personality, and/or behaviors to present a different identity.
b. The team will earn points for the integration of the Disguise into the Story. This
includes showing the reason a character uses a Disguise and the impact of the
Disguise on the Story.
c. The team will earn points for the creative method(s) used to create the Disguise.
This means how creatively the character transforms from one identity to the other.
d. The team will earn points for the effectiveness of the Disguise. This means how well
the Disguise hides the character’s real identity.
e. The team may include more than one Disguise in the Story, however, only the
Disguise described on the Tournament Data Form will earn points for the
integration of the Disguise into the Story, creative method(s) used to create the
Disguise, and the effectiveness of the Disguise.
A. Central Challenge – Section 3
e. The Acting Skills (see definition) of the other character(s) and the use
of Stagecraft (see definition) must convince the Appraisers and the
audience that there is an Invisible Visitor present in the Story.
f. The team will earn points for the Acting Skills used during the
Presentation when a character or characters interact with the Invisible
Visitor. The team will also earn points for the effective use of
Stagecraft in the portrayal of the Invisible Visitor.
g. Just as the wind sets something in motion, so too does the Invisible
Visitor. The motion caused by the Invisible Visitor could be anything
from a new development in the storyline to a change in attitude or an
action by one of the other actors. The team will earn points for the
creativity of the motion and its effect on the Story.
Questions for Appraiser Training
Challenge C: In Disguise
7. What is considered a Disguise?
8. What is meant by Integration of the Disguise into the
Story?
9. How should Appraisers score for effectiveness of the
Disguise?
Questions for Appraiser Training
Challenge C: In Disguise
7. Section A.3.a states that a character must hide its identity with a
Disguise. This means that the character must first present one identity
and then change appearance, personality, and/or behaviors to present
a different identity. Therefore, the character going into disguise must
undergo a change in physical appearance, a change in personality, or a
change in behavior. The Challenge also allows for the character to
undergo a change in more than one characteristic listed above.
8. Section A.3.b states that the team must show the reason why a
character has to go in disguise. The story must also include the impact
the character going into disguise has on the story.
9. According to Section A.3.d, Appraisers should look at how well the
Disguise hides the character’s identity. If Appraisers are unsure of
which identity is the Disguise, they should ask the team for clarification.
Questions for Appraiser Training
Challenge C: In Disguise
10. Does the Morphing Mask have to change in appearance in
full view of the Appraisers and the audience?
11. Can the Morphing Mask and the Decorative Mask be part
of the Disguise?
12. Can the Decorative Mask and the Morphing Mask be the
same mask?
13. Can the team earn points for more than one Morphing
Mask and for more than one Decorative Mask?
Questions for Appraiser Training
Challenge C: In Disguise
10. Yes. The Challenge states that the Morphing Mask must change
appearance in full view of the audience (A.4.a.i).
11. No. Section A.4.d states that neither the Morphing Mask nor the
Decorative Mask may be used as the Disguise or any part of the
Disguise described in A.3. If, before the Presentation, Appraisers realize
that one of the required masks is being used as part of the Disguise,
then the team must be given an opportunity to adjust their solution to
meet the requirements in A.4.d. If the team presents either the
Decorative Mask or the Morphing Mask as part of the Disguise, the
Appraisers should score both the Disguise and the Mask as if they were
separate. Then, the Appraisers will give the team an Illegal Procedure
Deduction for the creative method(s) used to create the Disguise. The
number of points deducted must be based on the impact the mask had
on the Disguise.
Questions for Appraiser Training
Challenge C: In Disguise
12. No. Section A.4.c states that the Decorative Mask and the Morphing
Mask must be two different masks. If, before the Presentation,
Appraisers realize that these two required masks are on the same,
then the team must be given an opportunity to adjust their solution
to meet the requirements in A.4. If the team does not present the
Decorative Mask and the Morphing Mask as two different masks,
the Appraisers must score the one mask as if it were two different
masks. Then, the team should earn Illegal Procedure Deductions.
The Appraisers will deduct 50% of the points earned for the
Innovative Methods used to change the appearance of Morphing
Mask and 50% of the points earned for the Creativity of the
Decorative Mask. No Illegal Procedure Deduction is required for
Theatrical Impact of all Masks.
Questions for Appraiser Training
Challenge C: In Disguise
13. In the Team Challenge (Section A.4.a.iii and A.4.b.iii),
the Morphing Mask and the Decorative Mask are referred
to in the singular. So, teams may only earn points for one
Morphing Mask and one Decorative Mask. Teams may
have more than one of each of the types of masks. But,
only one Morphing Mask and only one Decorative mask
will earn points for theatrical impact of all masks (A.4.e).
Teams may decide to select additional masks to earn
points for Team Choice Elements. Additional masks that
the team selects to be scored for Team Choice Elements
should also be included in the score for the theatrical
impact of all masks.
A. Central Challenge – Section 4
4. The Masks: Masks are an important part of theater, dance, and festivals around
the world. In this Challenge, teams will design and construct at least two masks
that enhance the Story. For the purpose of this Challenge, a mask is a cover or
partial cover for a team member’s face or a character’s face that is worn at some
point in the Presentation.
a. Teams will create a Morphing Mask.
i. During the Presentation, the Morphing Mask must change appearance
in full view of the audience. A character does not need to be wearing
the mask when it changes.
ii. A character in the Story must wear the Morphing Mask on its face. The
team will decide how long the character wears the mask and how much of
the character’s face the mask covers.
iii. The team will earn points for the innovative methods used to change the
appearance Morphing Mask. Innovative methods refer to how new,
unique, and/or creative the team’s methods are for changing the
appearance of the Morphing Mask.
A. Central Challenge – Section 4
b. The team will also create a Decorative Mask.
i. A character in the Story must wear the Decorative Mask on its face.
The team will decide how long the character wears the mask and how
much of the character’s face the mask covers.

iii. The team will earn points for the creativity of the Decorative Mask.
c. The Decorative Mask and the Morphing Mask must be two different
masks.
d. Neither the Morphing Mask nor the Decorative Mask may be used as the
Disguise or any part of the Disguise described in A.3.
e. The team will earn points for the theatrical impact of all masks. Theatrical
impact refers to how the masks enhance the Presentation. This includes the
Morphing Mask and Decorative Mask, as well as any additional masks the
team uses in the Presentation.
A. Central Challenge
B. Team Choice Elements
B. In addition to the above requirements, the team must present
TWO creations called “Team Choice Elements” that show
off their interests, skills, areas of strength, and talents. The
team may create anything they wish for Team Choice
Elements including props, music, technical gadgets, costumes,
physical actions etc.
1. The team must present both Team Choice Elements as
part of the eight-minute Presentation and each Team
Choice Element should have a meaningful connection to
the team’s Central Challenge solution. Each Team
Choice Element must be described briefly on the
Tournament Data Form found at the end of this Challenge.
B. Team Choice Elements
2. A Team Choice Element may not be a specific item that is
required in the Central Challenge that is already being
evaluated. A Team Choice Element MAY be a single unique
PART of a required item, as long as it can be evaluated as a
stand-alone item. Both Team Choice Elements may be
presented at the same time ONLY IF both can be easily
identified and scored separately. Examples of these can be
found in Rules of the Road.
3. Each Team Choice Element will be evaluated in three ways:
for the Creativity and Originality of the Team Choice Element,
and for the Quality, Workmanship, or Effort that is evident and
