Lesson learned

Start early enough with organization

Find some good experienced supporters

People will subscribe in the last week

Teams should be balanced

If you provide foods, take dietary needs into

account

Give enough time to the jury

The jammers work very hard

Need some rest after

It’s really fun and exiciting

What’s next

We’re doing it again!
