The audition form currently contains the checkbox, "I certify that I have not auditioned for The Chase this calendar year." I'm reasonably certain that it did not contain that attribution when casting first opened. More to the point, when I asked Marjorie Lewis from casting about this incongruity last week a couple of days before the Houston audition, her e-mailed response was as follows:
"If you made it to the show and were chosen you can not audition, OTHERWISE, c'mon down! We look forward to seeing you tomorrow."
If I were you, I would read it as such as well.
