It will take place over two days with each squad only being 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.

This event is for experienced shooters and beginner applicants may be rejected by the CPSA for health and safety reasons. Institutions must rank their competitors on BUCS Play in order of preference before the closing date. See squading tab for more infomation. 

Should BUCS need to restrict entries for the event, this will be done equally across institutions.

No entries will be accepted on the day.

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 two 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.

Institution Administrators:

Please squad your team by writing '1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1' in the ranking boxes next to one squad, '2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2' in the ranking boxes next to squad two, '3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3' in the ranking boxes next to squad three, and so on. 

At least one person must be a license holder to be responsible for any non-licence holders in that group.

At least one person per squad must hold a firearms certificate/license and will be responsible for any non-licence holders in that group. Squadding lists will be uploaded on the tab above. 

If there is less than 6 in your squad and one of you have a licence, you may be allocated other participants to be responsible for from other institutions.

You may also be allocated a different squad to ensure that there is enough participants with licences so that everyone can shoot. Where possible we will try and make sure that each squad is full and that there are at least 2 members from the same university in each squad.
