Events and BUCS Points Available

BUCS entrants take part in individual grade categories alongside non-BUCS entrant, eligible for both a BUCS placing in the category, and a TJJF placing.

The grade category an individual is allocated to is determined by the grade in their TJJF profile. It is the responsibility of individuals to ensure that their profile is up to date. The finalised competition categories are determined by the accepted entries.

The highest grade BUCS competitors (based on TJIF profile) are also entered into separate men’s and women’s ‘BUCS Individual’ categories, for which individual BUCS Medals (top 3) and BUCS Points (top 4) are awarded.

The remaining competitors are allocated to their relevant grade to compete alongside non-BUCS entrants.

Where a grade has a minimum of six BUCS competitors, the top 4 individual performances will be extracted and awarded points which contributes towards their overall team score for their institution.

For more information please see Appendix 1 and Reg 6
