Yes.

No. Once you have competed in a Regional Showcase your team roster may not change.

If your team has not started discussing a solution for the Central (long term) Challenge then yes, you may replace lost members. If you have already begun to discuss your solution to the Central Challenge you may not replace the team member(s) who dropped. These dropped team members must remain on your roster. If you had less than seven at the time, then you may add members until your total with the dropped members equals seven.

A team may have a maximum of seven members.

A 5 Team Pak can be purchased for an individual school, multiple schools with a total registration of less than 500 students, multi-school programs with a single itinerant teacher, or a recognized community organization that serves children such as, Boy Scout Troops and Girl Scout Troops, 4-H clubs, PTA/PTOs.

5 Team Paks may not be purchased on behalf of school districts, states, provinces, program Affiliates, Girl/Boy Scouts of America nor any larger parent organization. Teams may be sponsored by a local or community entity within the parent organization as described above.

The 30-Team Pak allows centralized school system (e.g. school district), or a recognized local chapter of a community organization that serves children such as Boy Scout Troops and Girl Scout Troops or 4-H clubs to register up to THIRTY TEAMS in any Team Challenge at any Level.  30-Team Pak registrations MUST be affiliated with a centralized school system or specific local group. 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.

The level at which you compete is determined by the oldest student on your team.

LEVEL	GRADE	AGE
RISING STARS!	Kindergarten-2nd	5-9
ELEMENTARY	Kindergarten-5th	less than 12 on June 15 of the program year.
MIDDLE	6th-8th	less than 15 on June 15 of the program year.
SECONDARY	9th-12th	less than 19 on June 15 of the program year.
UNIVERSITY	All team members must be enrolled full-time in a college/university or technical school. College teams may not recruit younger students who have not finished high school or equivalent.

With the new 5-Team-Pak you may have all teams solve the same challenge even if they are all at the same level. There are no restrictions on how many teams in a level may do a particular challenge. 5-Team-Pak members are entitled to 5 competitive teams and one Rising Stars! team. If you do not have 5 competitive teams you may have Rising Star teams fill those extra slots.
