Regional Tournament
UPDATED: February 21-22, 2026
LSPU hall

NEW: This year, the CIG Online Wildcard will be joining forces with the Distance tournament to create one, huge, epic ONLINE TOURNAMENT. That means you can join if you fit into the following categories:

  1. You are a Canadian secondary school that exists outside the geographical boundaries of a CIG tournament (i.e., you are 3+ hours away from your nearest regional tournament). 
  2. You are a registered CIG school looking to get an extra evaluation and submission to the National Festival. 

Event dates:

Online evaluation submissions due

Teams are allowed to submit up to two scenes, and will be provided adjudications from a CIG judge. Scenes can be submitted anytime from fall 2025 to Feb 1st, 2026. 

Feb 1st

Online evaluations returned

Teams who submit scenes for evaluations will receive their adjudications by this date. Teams who submit earlier can be provided earlier adjudications. 

Feb 20th

Online submissions due

All online teams must submit their four events by this date. Teams can submit anytime between January 2026 to March 6th 2026. 

March 6th

Online winner announced

All teams will be informed of their score and ranking. This year, we will not be requiring resubmissions. 

March 13th
