Important Note to Applicants
Just a heads up that we have lots of applicants! That's great!
Please ensure that you register as a jammer here or else we can't contact you to tell you if you're able to participate. The registration form page is simply more information to help us choose the participants more effectively.
Click View Jammers at the top of this page. If your name is on that list then we may contact you. If you are not on that list we cannot contact you and thus won't be able to confirm you as an actual participant.
