*Disclaimer – the International and US Team Registration Fee ($1,750 and $1,250 respectively for the entire team) is solely used to cover the cost of the competitor team package and all venues at social events. No part of the Registration Fee is used to cover the cost of lodging or chow, nor does it support any operational needs of the event/competition. Internationals Teams have an additional social event (International Welcome Dinner), which is reflected in the increased cost. The competitor team package ensures all team members receive any associated Leapfest SWAG and overall prizes for teams and individuals that place in the competition. Registration Fees are paid directly to the Leapfest Association, which is a non-profit organization which handles the ordering and purchasing of all Leapfest gear as well as the planning and execution of all social events. No members of the Leapfest Association are paid in any way, shape, or form. All funds are strictly used for the betterment of Leapfest events from one year to the next.
*Note - Some government networks may block access to the above documents/links from this site. If you have any issue obtaining the MOI and Enclosures, please use a commercial network or contact the Leapfest Action Team directly, at: ng.ri.riarng.mbx.56th-trp-cmd-leapfest-action-team@army.mil
