Get your partner and start practicing in your backyard - the KanJam World Championship is coming up in August - and it's sure to be an awesome time! Whether you're an amazing KanJam athlete, or just someone who likes throwing the disc around in the yard, this is going to be great. Here's what you need to know:

You Need to Register

Don't plan on just showing up if you're free that day - you need to register in advance. According to the KanJam League's website,

REGISTRATION DEADLINE is Friday, July 31st, 2015. After this date and time, no more teams will be accepted for the tournament. In addition, if 120 teams are registered prior to this date, then the registration will be cutoff early.

You can register on the KanJam League's website here.

All the Stuff You Get

Registration costs $60 per team, but it comes with a lot of awesome stuff (and of course the chance to become the KanJam World Champions). So, this is what you get:

• Entry into the tournament for your team
• All day KanJam and chance to compete with the best teams in the game
• KanJam prize pack for each player
• Tickets for each player for 50/50 drawing
• Food and drink tickets for each player
• Donation to the North Tonawanda Police Athletic League & Food Bank of WNY - “Fighting Hunger One Day at a Time”

Not only a fun-filled day of KanJam, but it's also helping out a good cause! Total win-win right there.

You Need to Know the Rules

Just because you know the rules that you and your friends play with, it doesn't mean you know the official rules. If you are planning on being a part of this event, you'll need to be on the same page as everyone else. The KanJam League's website suggests you get the KanJam app for your smartphone or other device (or you can download a PDF file off their website).

...And All the Other Details

Okay, so you need to know when the event is and all that other good stuff. The KanJam World Championship happens Saturday, August 8 - with teams checking in around 8:30am. The championship is going to be held at Gratwick Hose Volunteer Fire Company Picnic Grounds in North Tonawanda (North of Buffalo). Oh, and the event takes place rain or shine - so be ready for what mother nature has in store that day!

This is sure to be an awesome event - and again, proceeds are going for a good cause too! If this is something that interests you make sure you check out their website (above) and get signed up!
