Please note, we are now at the play off stage of the competition.

Entry Cost

£375.00

Entry Deadline

29 February 2022

BUSA will have now confirmed with you if you have made it through to the play offs. Results of the qualfiers will be released in due course but please check out the BUSA website to gain further information. 

Please note that BUCS Points will not be allocated where the minimum number of competitors/teams has not been reached, or where there are not enough individual scores to extract a team score. Furthermore, an individual/team must have beaten another individual/team to score BUCS Points (i.e. if 3 individuals/teams compete in an event, only 2 will score BUCS points). This does not apply to extracted teams.

Individuals/teams are regarded as having compete if they started the event, therefore DNS will not be regarded as having competed. Similarly, medals will be awarded according to the accrual of BUCS Points. For example if only 3 individuals/teams can compete in an event only Gold and Silver medals will be awarded.

BUCS points are available here

No entry allowance will be set for the play off's, it will only be for teams who have made it passed the qualifiers. 

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.

1. Event Disclaimer includes specifics around COVID-19
2. Whist inside staff members and volunteers interacting with competitors will be wearing appropriate face coverings
3. COVID-19 questionnaire completed prior to arrival at the event by all competitors, officials, volunteers and support staff.
4. Access to hand-washing facilities, or hand sanitiser

 What’s expected of competitors:

1. Event competitors should stay home if they have been diagnosed with, or suspected to have COVID-19 
2. 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
3. Competitors should stay home if they have been instructed to quarantine/self isolate due to international travel restrictions or by relevant home nation test and trace systems
4. Competitors must follow direction from event staff, venue staff and volunteers.
5. Competitors must complete COVID-19 questionnaire prior to arrival at the event  
6. Competitors should ensure they are following hand hygiene practices at all times
7. Competitors are encouraged to wear a face covering when indoors and moving about the building
8. Competitors should follow the guidance and safety procedures outlined for the event you are attending. These can be found in the Event Guide
9. Competitors unable to attend event due to COVID-19 must contact the event lead

 Lateral Flow Tests and Vaccine Status 

1. For some events, dependent on local council recommendations or venue requirements we may require proof of negative PCR or rapid lateral flow tests within the last 24 hours or proof of being fully vaccinated for at least 2 weeks.
2. 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.
