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.

Institutions can request an unlimited number of entries, however should the event reach capacity BUCS & the BSKA may need to restrict the number of entries per institution.

Should the event be oversubscribed, priority is given to all 1st teams. The remaining spaces shall be disributed evenly between institutions submitting multiple teams. If there are more spaces remaining and too many teams still wishing to enter, these will be picked using a random draw.

The rules and regulations for the 2022-23 BUCS Korfball programme can be found here.

Please ensure you are familiar with these ahead of the first preliminary round for your team, as they may differ from regular Korfball leagues.

Withdrawals should be made in writing (Email) by your institution administrator to the event lead, Chris Lamb.

Withdrawals made prior to the team entry deadline (17 November 2022 at 23:59pm) will not be charged the entry fee.

Withdrawals made after the team entry deadline (17 November 2022 at 23:59pm) will still be charged the entry fee. A fine will also be assessed per team, based on the date of the withdrawal:
