How to Qualify

Teams are guaranteed a spot at Global Finals 2025 by competing and ranking at their Affiliate Tournament.

Team Managers of qualified teams will receive an invitation to register for Global Finals via email within 36 hours of their Affiliate Tournament.

Where do you have to rank to qualify? That depends on where you live and the size of your Affiliate. Teams should contact their Affiliate to learn more about their Affiliate’s qualification requirements.

The Global Finals Waitlist

DI Challenge Experience teams* can sign up for the Global Finals Waitlist. The Waitlist is intended to allow teams to declare their interest in attending Global Finals even if they do not qualify through their Affiliate Tournament. Teams on the Global Finals Waitlist are not guaranteed a spot at Global Finals 2025. In each Challenge and Level, if space allows, waitlisted teams will be invited on a first-come, first-served basis.
