WHAT IS THE ONLINE WILDCARD TOURNAMENT?
The Online Wildcard Tournament is an opportunity for registered Canadian Improv Games student teams from across Canada to perform the CIG events, receive feedback from CIG volunteers, and qualify for the National Tournament in Ottawa — but instead of performing your scenes live for our judges, you’ll submit a video of your performance online.
A panel of expert judges will evaluate all the videos, and the team with the highest scores will get to compete at the National Tournament! Also, our excellent, cross-country volunteers will provide your team with a written adjudication to help further develop the team’s skills.
