Using Slam-In over the Internet
What does “over the Internet” mean?
• Competing head-to-head against another
team in another location?
• Broadcasting a match so that family members
and other well-wishers can “tune in”?
• Practicing online with each team member in a
different location – maybe at home, after
hours, on a snow day?
“Over the Internet” means all 3
And Slam-In supports all 3!
Why Compete Online?
• To save money
• To save time

your area

(Long) Before You Compete
1. Test your voice connection:
• If using a speakerphone, call your opponent in
his/her classroom and see if you can hear
each other clearly.
• If using your computer’s microphone and
speakers, you’ll need a microphone that you
can place near your team.

2. Test your remote ring-in capability:
• Arrange a time to get online with your
eventual opponent.
• Rehearse giving each other control of the
other’s computer and ringing-in using Slam-In.
