The Events

The Youth Team Tournament consists of three components and a grand finale finals competition. Events include: 1) Scavenger Hunt, 2) Relay Race, and 3) Tik Tok Challenge.

The Scavenger Hunt

All team contestants will be integrated into a mixed team group that will compete in a scavenger hunt that will take place on the grounds of the Will Rogers Memorial Center.
There will be a list of location hints given to each group. Each group will then document their location discovery with a picture of all six members at that location.
Each location will also have a question that the team will be required to answer.
This is a timed activity and will be scored based on the number of locations successfully found in the fastest time. Scoring will be first based on the number of answers correctly answered, secondly on the time achieved. Teams will be placed and points awarded based on the overall point system.
Each member of the mixed team will be awarded points that will be applied to their original team.

The TikTok Video Challenge

Each team will draw the name of a person affiliated with the APHA World Show. This might be a trainer, staff, vendor, sponsor, or exhibitor. They will be given the contact information for that person, who will be available and on the grounds.
The team will devise and conduct an interview with their assigned individual and will compose a video 1-2 minutes in length.
The videos will be judged and scored on creativity, inclusiveness of all team members, and promotion/awareness of APHA and that individual’s role.
All videos will be judged and placed with points awarded based on the overall point system.
