BUCS will contact the institution of the reserve competitor to offer this tee time.

If a reserve competitor is unable to take the tee time BUCS will contact the next competitor’s institution until the tee time is taken. Reserve competitors should communicate their availability with their athletic union or students’ union and remain available should withdrawals occur.
