DSDS is only having two dances in Dec., with workshops about competitions. Jack & Jill is an individual competition that judges leaders and followers separately. The competitors do not know who they will be dancing with until the competition begins, but they do know who the other competitors. A good strategy is to dance with all the other follows or leads that are competing before the competition. Strictly Lindy is a partner competition, so you need to find someone that will enter with you.  Like the DSDS Facebook to stay updated.
