Start Sheets
Entry into this competition is limited, entries are determined based upon competitors' handicaps. Competitors who have been entered and accepted into the competition will be given a tee time.
Entries that are confirmed at the end of Stage 1 will be posted here. Allocation of Round 1 tee times is random and will be available Friday 18 October via GolfBox.
Reserve List
Competitors who are not allocated a tee time on the start sheet will be included on the reserve list. Following the close of Stage 1 entries the reserve list will be arranged in handicap order. If an accepted competitor withdraws from the competition their tee time will be offered to the next competitor on the reserve list. BUCS will contact the institution of the reserve competitor to offer this tee time, unless during the weekend in which case BUCS will contact the competitor directly.
If a reserve competitor is unable to take the tee time BUCS will contact the next institution until the tee time is taken. Reserve competitors should communicate their availability with their athletic union or students’ union and remain available should withdrawals occur.
If a competitor on the reserve list no longer wishes to be considered for the competition; they must inform their institution and withdraw following the process detailed in the entry information.
If the competition is at capacity; entries received within Stage 2 will be added to the reserve list. Where applicable; priority for tee times will remain with the entries received before the Stage 1 entry closing date.
