No entries will be accepted on the day.
Competition Format
This competition will be the sporting discipline of shooting.
The BUCS Clay Pigeon Shooting Championships will take place over two days to allow us to accommodate greater numbers of students and alumni. Each university will only be required to shoot on one day. You will be asked to submit your preference on the BUCS Play entry form. BUCS will allocate days and times based on these preferences, however due to safety restrictions relating to competitor numbers it may not be possible to accommodate all preferences.
Please note; when submitting entries an institution’s competitors may be allocated a shooting time on either day. Therefore competitors will need to be available for both the Saturday and Sunday of the competition.
A competitor’s event competition day will be confirmed alongside the entry guide.
Overall team points are available for a men's team and a women's team. Team positions are awarded based on an institution's top 4 placings across all event categories (minimum of 2 placings).

Competitors will be divided into squads for the duration of the competition. When individuals enter the competition on BUCS Play, there will be the opportunity to select your top three preferences for shooting times. Institutions will then be required to sort competitors on BUCS Play into squads of six.
BUCS will try to accommodate these squad requests wherever possible, but we cannot guarantee that first preferences will be possible in all situations. If you are entering competitors as individuals, or as a squad less than six competitors, you will be merged with other universities. Please note; this does not affect your team score.
