Groups of 5-15 people will automatically get $25 off per person, once the fifth person is added within registration. If you have more than 15 people in a group, you will have to do two rounds of registration.
Please note: Do not register until you have a final list of everyone in the group. You cannot go back in and add more group members once you’ve registered the group. They can of course always register separately on their own, but they will not get the group discount.
