Muslim Inter-Scholastic Tournament

Are you MISTified?

4th February 2008

Creating Teams

The following restrictions apply to all students competing in MIST

Private/Public Schools

  1. Whether or not a high school currently has an MSA, the students must form/join the MIST team from their own high school. All students from a school must register together as one team.
  2. If the MSA as a whole, chooses not to participate in the tournament, the few members who would like to join MIST can still represent their MSA and their high school.
  3. If the high school does not have an MSA, try your best to form an Islamic educational organization open to students/faculty of any religion, gender, or national origin in your high school, if you do not have one already, refer to How to form an MSA. Having an organization or MSA will make it easier to keep registration organized.
  4. If you are unable to form an MSA or student organization, you can:
    • Try convincing another cultural organization or even your high school to sponsor MIST as an official extracurricular activity. This may help to ensure that your absence is excused if your MIST-Regional is scheduled to start on a weekday.
    • If this does not work, you may still take part in MIST by unofficially representing your school. Print the Parent Permission Letter (not needed for Boston, Michigan, or Toronto MIST 2008 Regionals), get it signed by your parent or guardian, and turn it in to your school. You must follow all other registration instructions.

Home Schooled Students

In order to join MIST, home schooled students must follow guidelines set by Region. Contact Regional Registration Headquarter for information.

Qualifications to join MIST are based on your age and your school grade. Refer to Age restrictions for more information.

    assalam-u alaikum,
    Is a person allowed to join another high school’s team even if ther
    original high school already has a team? Some people in my school are doing this, and I find it really unfair. Our group did so much work in organizing a team, and now a couple people want to switch to another high school’s team just because it has more people. (we have 8 people not including the people switching by the way) I believe MIST should do a background check to see if the person who signed up for a team really does go to a certain high school. However, I believe it is fine if someone joins another school’s team if their own high school doesn’t have a team.
    thank you

    I have the same question as the above, can I join another school’s tem for MIST, since my school does not have an MSA, and I do not have a team because it is compliacated forming one, so I want to ask you if I can join another school’s team.

    ** it would be better, if you could show the answers to people questions since others can have the same questions.
