Should BUCS have to open stage two entries then new deadlines for withdrawals will be published. Reserves will only be charged an entry fee if they are accepted into the competition.
 

Bibs

Bibs will be assigend to you beforehand.  If you're a ski racer or snowboard racer as well, you'll be assigned a bib for racing, and you should also use that bib for freestyle. 

The bib is the same bib as you should wear for the rail jam. 

Slopestyle

Will start with the qualification jam, and then straight into semi-finals, with 2-runs, best run counts. The top 8 men and top 4 women will go through to the final, where it will be a 2 or 3-run final - best run counts (timing dependent). It will once again be rail/box heavy.

Rail Jam

Will have a qualification jam and qualify people through on a yes or no basis. The top riders will then go into a Semi-Final, which will be a full jam format. It's NOT a best trick competition - but an overall impression competition, so variety is going to be hella key. Landed tricks only will be counted. 

For the rail jam, ranking will take place after the competition - because it's based on overall impression across the time period 

Judging Criteria

The judges will be evaluating and ranking the runs based on the following criteria:

• Difficulty - what was the trick difficulty like, considering rotations, axis, take-offs, feature use, etc
• Execution - how well executed was the trick? Was it stylish, was there a grab or did they wind an excessive amount of windows down
• Variety - did the rider do the same trick throughout, or did they spin in different directions, with different leading-feet on the rails.
• Landing - did they land clean, or did they drag a hand, slide on their ass etc. Reverts are a big no - if you land switch, hit the next feature switch.
  
   

All competitor must wear helmets. These are only any use when they are secured correctly. BUCS will reserve the right to disqualify athletes who do not wear long sleeves and who’s helmet is not done up. Alongside this, mounted cameras and Go Pro’s will not be allowed during competition. BUCS strongly advises against mounts of any description on any helmets.

There is limited equipment avaliable for hire at Hillend which will be a first come first served basis. 

Race - Only competitors wearing their bibs and ski equipment will be able to use the lift. For ski race inspection females will go first.. Once inspection is shut we will limit individuals onto the lift based on the letter of their university. I.e. we will name call universities and ask them to make their way to the top of the slope in order. This is to ensure smooth access to the start area and for competitions to run on time. 

Freestyle – Competitors will collect their bibs at the top, they must present a competitor wristband to be allowed to use the slope, after the first round of freestyle, every competitor must be wearing a bib to be allowed up.  

Should the athlete have a BASS or BARTS License they should have been submitted this number upon entry, it can not be altered or added now.  

The top 30 women and 60 men will qualify for the second run of the slalom. 

Once inspection is completed the lift will be open only to women to ease the access to the top of the slope. 

If you miss your start you will not be allowed to compete. 
 

Top 8 women and top 16 men will qualify. These results will be published after the snowboarding has finished. If you miss your start you will be disqualified. 

Once inspection is completed the lift will be open only to women to ease the access to the top of the slope. 
If you miss your start it will be up to the chief of race discretion to allow you to compete. 
 

Please note, ski dual slalom teams must have a female in their team. Please refer to the rules and regulations. By participating in this event you are accepting these regs. The competitions jury decision will be final. 
 

Should you be entered into both racing and freestyle, you should prioritise racing over freestyle. As soon as completing your first run, you will should make your way to freestyle. 

In order to assist with the running of this events, institutions are required to provide event volunteers based on the ratio of their number of entries.

BUCS operates zero tolerance on competitors and spectators bringing recreational drugs to the event.

 

Under REG 5, entering, or attempting to enter the venue of a BUCS competition while in possession of recreational drugs would deem an institution and its club liable to a charge of misconduct and/or bringing BUCS into disrepute. Additionally, the consumption of alcohol or recreational drugs (in addition to substances covered under REG 4.5) by competitors will not be tolerated. Competitors at any BUCS event or fixture found to be consuming such substances will be automatically disqualified and may face further disciplinary action under this regulation.

 

This year, BUCS will have sniffer dogs at the entry to the event. There will also be amnesty bins available onsite.

 

If the sniffer dogs identify an individual potentially being in possession of recreational drugs they will be escorted by security to a private area and searched. If they are then found to be in possession of recreational drugs, these will be seized by security, the individual’s name will be taken by event staff and the incident reported back to their university/college and police may be informed.

Anyone caught onsite (past the point of entry) in the possession of recreational drugs will have these seized, be expelled from the event, and their institution will receive a disciplinary charge from BUCS and the police may be informed.
