Non-guaranteed entries may be accepted for each competition following the entry closing date if the competition allows. Consultation and seeding of the additional entries accepted into the competition will be taken with the BUCS Table Tennis Sport Advisory Group (SAG).

Non-guaranteed entries will only be charged an entry fee if they are accepted into the competition.

Institutions may submit a list of up to 20 reserve competitors (10 men and 10 women). These may be used for substitutions in advance of the competition starting.

Reserve competitors must be entered online via BUCS Play within the ‘Reserve list’ before the entry closing date. There is no cost for submitting competitors to the reserve lists. Institutions are encouraged to fully utilise the submission of a reserve list.

Withdrawals must be made in writing by an athletic union or students’ union and e-mailed to the BUCS Event Manager. 

Withdrawals after the entry closing date will still be charged the entry fee. Withdrawal of a competitor does not guarantee a replacement into the competition.

Institutions can only make changes to their entries from competitors listed as guaranteed, non-guaranteed, or on the reserve lists. The reserve lists must be entered via BUCS Play before the entry closing date.

Competitors who do not withdraw, and do not register at the venue, will be classified as a ‘no-show’ and charged the entry fee and an additional £50 fine payable by the competitor’s athletic union or students’ union.
