This year, MIST Detroit will be formalizing rules regarding coalition teams for basketball – that is, basketball teams from two or more high schools combining to form one “coalition” basketball team.
Coalition teams are designed to allow smaller high schools to participate in basketball – please do not violate this intent.
Online registration is now open at: http://web.adderpit.com/MIST
Detailed FAQs and guides for registration are available here. Below is a quick refresher for returning competitors:
Registration Deadlines:
How online registration works:
What’s the difference between Early and Late Registration?
If a competitor pays by midnight on February 21st, he or she will only have to pay $40. This means they must have their competitions picked by Feb 21st as well.
If a competitor does not pay by midnight on Feb 21st, he will have until Feb 28th to pick his competitions and pay. However, the registration fee will increase to $45.
If a competitor or ambassador makes any changes to competition signups after March 1st, the effected competitor’s registration fee will automatically increase to $45, even if they have already paid the early registration fee.
Coach Guidelines:
The 2013 Competition Rulebook has been released! Check it out here.
The ballot and rules for Culinary Arts is here. Because it is a Detroit-exclusive competition, it is not included in the national Rulebook.
Registration has begun, the theme is known, and the rulebook has been released! It’s time to GET MISTIFIED!

If you’re interested and have any questions, just email us at detroit@getmistified.com. No matter your schedule, commitments to other organizations, or interests, there is a place for you on our team! Still not convinced? Here are the top 6 reasons to volunteer for MIST!
Life is beautiful. Being a part of something that matters and working on a product in which you can believe, with great people, is remarkably fulfilling.
Appreciation is the best motivation, so we’ve created a fun and inspiring workspace you’ll be glad to be a part of, including working to earn countless heavenly rewards, professional development opportunities, and plenty of dessert to get you through the meetings.
Work and play are not mutually exclusive. It is possible to plan and tell jokes at the same time.
Good company everywhere you look. MIST organizers range from former neurosurgeons, crocodile hunters, future CEOs, and U.S. chess champions to athletes to muftis. No matter what their backgrounds, MIST organizers make for interesting cube mates.
Boldly go where no one has gone before. There are hundreds of challenges yet to solve. Your creative ideas matter here and are worth exploring. You’ll have the opportunity to develop innovative new competitions, themes and workshops for hundreds of people to enjoy.
There is such a thing as a paid in dua. It comes in a long overdue check later on, but trust me it’s self gratifying and way worth the wait and work.
