7 B. SPECIAL RULES FOR IMPROVISATIONAL CHALLENGES CLOSE ENCOUNTERS 1. Honoring the Intent of this Challenge: The intent of this Challenge is to create a unique improvisational Skit based on the specific combination of Elements selected at the tournament. Prior to the tournament the team is encouraged to prepare for the many possible combinations of Improv Elements it may receive by generating different scenarios, experimenting with the materials, creating potential characters, and mixing and matching the various Improv Elements in practice sessions. It is expected that the team may choose to use and include some of the ideas that come from its practice sessions when combining the Improv Elements chosen randomly at the tournament into its unique Skit. As long as the team does not bring its ideas for scenarios, potential characters, etc. into the Presentation Site in written form, using the ideas is acceptable and is in keeping with the intent of the Challenge. If a team moves on to another level of tournament and by chance selects one or more of the same Improv Elements, it is encouraged to create another original solution, but no deduction will be taken if it reuses parts of an earlier solution. 2. Expense Report: No Expense Report form is required for this Challenge. 3. Clothing and Accessories: Items of clothing or accessories worn by the team must not be used as a part of the Skit. If clothing and/or accessories are incorporated into the Skit, they will be considered props and will result in a deduction. Team members may wear wristwatches for time management. The wristwatches can be worn during the Skit but must not be incorporated into the solution in any way. For example, a team member saying Dad will be here in 2 hours after looking at his or her watch is using the watch as a prop, and this is not allowed. No other timing devices will be allowed and the only official time is that kept by the Timekeeper/Announcer PROGRAM MATERIALS IMPROVISATIONAL CHALLENGE D: CLOSE ENCOUNTERS < 71 >
