DI VIRGINIA REGIONS

Destination Imagination Virginia (DIVA) has traditionally operated across six distinct Regions. Each Region usually holds its own Regional Tournament where teams compete to qualify for the Virginia Affiliate Tournament. For the 2025-26 Challenge Season, DIVA will not be holding separate Regional tournaments. Instead, all teams across the state will be invited to compete at the 2026 Virginia Affiliate Tournament. 

Regions may decide to hold other events such as training days. For reference, the DIVA Regions are broken down by county and are listed below:
