2000 · Confirmed

The IJSBA's pages for its 2000 U.S. National Endurance Championship, held 8 to 10 September 2000 at Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio, say that Hammertime Promotions and PM Sports Marketing presented the event and give him and Patrick Mell as its contacts. The pages link the champions' story and the results.

Confirmed

The IJSBA's lists of promoters print his name with Hammertime Promotions: under the company in its sanctioned promoters directory as captured in March 2002, and as the company's contact on its United States promoters pages captured in October 2008 and July 2013, in its rule books of 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2014 and in its 2015 draft rule book. None prints a post beside the name.

2005 · Likely

The American Power Boat Association's announcement of 23 July 2005, carried on the IJSBA's site, of an agreement with the USWRA to create one sanctioning body in the United States, quotes the APBA's coordinator, Patrick Mell, saying that Jacque Bryant, the head of the USWRA, would work with the APBA to make the transition easy for the promoters and racers. The words head of the USWRA are the quoted officer's, not the announcement's own.

2006 · Confirmed

The IJSBA's list of key staff for its 2006 World Finals, posted on 11 September 2006, names him as one of two Race Directors.

Likely

The IJSBA's hall of fame biography of him, posted on 29 August 2016, says that his race director position started in 1991, when he created Hammertime Promotions, Inc., an event company that produced IJSBA Nationals, World Finals qualifiers and regional races, and that he was a contracted Race Director for the IJSBA from 1996 to 2014. These are the association's words, written for an honour; the earliest held document naming him as a race director is the staff list of 2006 (searched the archive's mirror and the set 5 research cache, 2026-10-09).

Recognition

Confirmed

The IJSBA's post of 12 August 2016 lists him, printed as Jacques Bryant, among the five people to be inducted into its hall of fame in 2016, with the ceremony set for 8 October 2016 at Lake Havasu City, and its biography of him posted on 29 August 2016 names him a 2016 inductee.

What the archive has not read (1)

• The hall biography says he raced in the Pro-Ski class from 1990 to 1995. No held result sheet of those years names him, so the record lists no racing (searched the archive's mirror and the set 5 research cache, 2026-10-09). A rider printed as Bryant, Jacque is on the 2004 World Finals Pro-Am Ski Stock sheet; nothing on the sheet ties that rider to the race director beyond the name, so it is not used.

• 2012 rule book (web.archive.org): IJSBA 2012 Official Competition Rule Book, International Jet Sports Boating Association, 2012; sanctioning body, high. The complete 2012 book.

The APBA's announcement of its agreement with the USWRA, carried on the IJSBA's site. It quotes Patrick Mell as the APBA Personal Watercraft Racing Marketing & Event Coordinator; the sentence naming Jacque Bryant as the head of the USWRA sits inside that quotation, so it is the APBA officer's words. High for the APBA's own post and agreement. An earlier summary of the same capture was not used. Telephone and email are replaced in the held copy.

The association's biography of a 2016 hall of fame inductee, ahead of the ceremony of 8 October 2016. High for the induction; medium for the career it recounts, which is a biography written for an honour and dates nothing for the year-by-year view (Hammertime Promotions from 1991, contracted IJSBA race director 1996 to 2014). Its closing paragraph, on matters outside his public role, is not copied, and its tributes are not used.

High for the announcement. The hall's own roster page, as the archive holds it (ijsba-hall-of-fame-page), lists inductees only to 2014.
