The 30-Team Pak may not be purchased on behalf of states, provinces, program Affiliates (i.e.: the New Jersey DI Affiliate), or any organization that does not provide direct oversight of each and every potential team that might be included.

If you have questions on whether your school district qualifies for a 5 Team Pak or 30 Team Pak please contact Montana Destination ImagiNation. Do not let this restriction keep your students from participating. Call us or e-mail us and we will discuss your situation to determine what is best for your students.
