Rules oF The Road
The first thing a TM should do is read over the Rules of the Road (ROR). This document is published by DI each season and outlines the rules and procedures required to participate in a tournament, regardless of a team's chosen Challenge.
Even if you are an experienced team/TM, you should review the Rules of the Road to learn the details of the Challenge Experience, to prepare for tournaments, and to make sure your Team Challenge and Instant Challenge solutions fit within the rules.
Consider assigning different sections of Rules of the Road to each team member to review and then discuss together at a team meeting.
