The Improv Competition is a team based improvisational event. Teams are told what "challenge" or event they will be competing in and any other information they will need to complete their improv literally seconds before they will perform. Using this information, it is the team's responsibility to come up with a scenario and perform a well organized scene. Teams are judged on a 1-10 scale by 3 judges on 3 basic criteria. Those criteria are that all required "variables" were used, that the scene was well organized with a beginning, middle, and end, and that all members of the team worked well together in the performance.
"Variables" are characteristics given to the team members that must be used at some point in the scene. Examples are Occupation, Location, Action, a Word, or anything specifically called for in the challenge.
