Entry Process

This competition will NOT operate a staged entry process. As such, please ensure all entries are submitted through BUCS Play prior to the closing date listed above.

To apply for this competition:

All players must apply to join the team on BUCS Play by 13th November 2021. The help guide on this process can be found here.

Each player who has applied must then be added into the squad by the Captain/Institution Administrator (IA) by 13th November 2021 date. The help guide on this process can be found here.

Captains can be set up per team to help add players into the squad. IAs can set up Captains by following these steps.

Team entry numbers will be limited by venue capacity. Efforts will be made to accept as many teams as possible, but in the instance that the event is oversubscribed at the closing date, the following rules will apply, in order:

First teams will get priority over second teams, and second over third etc.
If there is insufficient room for all first teams, places will be awarded in the following order:
- First teams finishing in the top half of the 2019-20 tournament
- First teams who didn’t enter the 2019-20 tournament
- Remaining first teams in order of their finishing position in the 2019-20 tournament
If there are spaces remaining after all first teams have been awarded a space, second teams will be offered places in an order based on finishing position in 2019-20, then third teams and so on
- Second teams with no finishing position from 2019-20 will have a lower priority than those who attended – but still above all third teams (and so on)
If the cut-off happens to fall between 2 or more teams with no finishing position from 2019-20, a lottery will be run between those teams to determine entry.

Covid-19 Measures

Covid-19 Measures

The safety of students, volunteers and staff remains paramount as we move into the 2021-22 season, therefore for the time being we will still be implementing a series of COVID-19 Measures at our events. Although certain safety measures surrounding COVID-19 will be dictated by a venue or specific sport requirements we will be continuing to implement the following general measures across all of our events.

Event Disclaimer includes specifics around COVID-19
Whist inside staff members and volunteers interacting with competitors will be wearing appropriate face coverings
COVID-19 questionnaire completed prior to arrival at the event by all competitors, officials, volunteers and support staff.

What’s expected of competitors:

Event competitors should stay home if they have been diagnosed with, or suspected to have COVID-19
Event competitors are expected to test if they have any COVID-19 symptoms or live in the same household with someone with COVID-19 symptoms prior to attending an event

Lateral Flow Tests and Vaccine Status

If this is required it will be detailed in the entry information and the event guide for that event

Whilst we are very much hoping to be able to deliver a full calendar there is always the possibility that changing guidance around COVID-19 might impact this or lead to changes to our event formats or delivery models. We will endeavour to ensure regular communication regarding any changes.
