👉 Purchase Team Numbers
A Team Number allows your team to participate in the Destination Imagination Challenge Experience for the season. Teams do not need to be fully formed at the time of purchase.
For Schools and Districts
For many schools and districts, Early Bird opens at a time when teams and budgets for next year are already being planned.
Purchasing Team Numbers now can make next season easier to manage. It gives schools and organizations the opportunity to use available funds before budget deadlines, confirm how many teams they plan to support, and give themselves more time to prepare for the year ahead.
Whether you’re continuing with existing teams or thinking about expanding, taking care of Team Numbers early can help reduce back-to-school pressure and create a smoother start when the season begins.
Schools and districts coordinating multiple teams can also take advantage of volume discounts:
- 10–19 Team Numbers: 5% off
- 20–49 Team Numbers: 10% off
- 50–99 Team Numbers: 15% off
- 100+ Team Numbers: 25% off
