Arizona Odyssey of the Mind will no longer be able to make exceptions for each school/organization as to how they prefer their invoices to look.  Along with the above invoice, a standard invoice will be generated for purchase orders.  It is the school/organization coordinator’s &/or coach’s responsibility to educate the appropriate department on the payment process & to insure their payment is received by the deadline date.  All team registration payments must be received by this deadline for teams to be eligible to be scored at the Regional Tournament.
