For categories which are oversubscribed BUCS has accepted entries based on bouts won / lost ratio as recorded on the competitor’s card.
Successful competitors have been prioritised in the following order:

1. Win / Loss Ratio
2. Number of bouts fought

Class B competitors have been prioritised in the following order (note: institutions which only have guaranteed entries are given preference over institutions which have additional non-guaranteed entries):

1. Win / Loss Ratio
2. Number of bouts fought

Class A competitors have been selected as the strongest 8 based on a win/loss ratio. These competitors will compete for BUCS Medals and Points.

Class B competitors will have the opportunity to move into the Class A category if there are any withdrawals. The Class B category will if there is enough competitors. These competitors will compete for BUCS Medals but no BUCS points will be awarded. 

Competitor withdrawals must be made by a competitor’s athletic union or student’s union by emailing Amy Clayfield.

Withdrawals before the entry deadline will not be charged the entry fee or be fined.

Withdrawals before 5pm on 29 January 2020 will be fined £15 and will still be charged the entry fee.

Competitors who do not withdraw before 5pm on 29 January 2020 and do not attend weigh-in, will be classed as a late withdrawal/ no show and therefore will be charged the entry fee and will also be fined £90 which will be charged after the event to the competitor’s athletic union.

Class B Competitors & RESERVES (as shown on the competitor entry list when published):

Should competitors in this category not want to compete in the Class B Category, they must withdraw by 5pm on 29 January 2020 to receive a refund on their entry. Competitors in this category who do not withdraw before 5pm on 29 January 2020 and do not attend weigh in, will be charged the entry fee and will be fined £90 which will be charged after the event to the competitor’s athletic union.

If reserves do not want to be on the reserve list please email Amy Clayfield. Unless accepted into the competition reserves will not be charged. 

Should a withdrawal be accompanied with a valid doctor’s note, no fine will be given.
