Institutions can request up to 100 non-guaranteed entries in both the male and female events. Institution administrators must rank competitors in order of preference when submitting entries, e.g 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on. If the event reaches capacity, BUCS will restrict entries, and this will be done equally across institutions.

This means when submitting entries on BUCS Play, for both the Men’s competition and Women’s competition, competitors should be ranked in order of preference before being submitted.  

The provisional schedule is for qualifiers to take place on the Friday in all events, and Finals to take place on the Saturday in all events. Please note this is subject to change and will be confirmed closer to the event.

• Ski Race – Slalom (Men’s and Women’s)
• Ski Freestyle – Slopestyle (Men’s and Women’s)
• Snowboard Race – Slalom (Men’s and Women’s)
