Umbrella and Coalition Rules:

MIST Philly is a high-school based tournament. This means competitors can only participate under their high-school name. If you attend cyberschool or homeschool, we encourage you to register under your district area’s high school. However, you may join a nearby highschool team of your choice. Upon registration, you will be asked to submit your ID or transcript with your name and school.

Distinction between Umbrella and Coalition teams:

Umbrella Teams are formed between different high schools, allowing them to share the same coach(es) and wear the same team colors. There is no limit to how many highschools come under an Umbrella team.

Coalition Teams are composed of different high school teams collaborating together for a specific competition. Depending on the competition, high schools in coalition can be from the same or different Umbrella team. Coalitions are intended for participants with a limited number of team members for a competition; NOT for high schools with sufficient competitors.
