To be clear, if a competitor does not have equipment conforming to the below standards, they will not be allowed to ride. Please ensure therefore that your hat and body protector conforms to the above standards.

At present, we do not plan to host the 'traditional' competitors meeting this year. Instead, there will be a number of opportunities for informal conversations with BUCS Staff and the Tournament Director, as well as providing feedback through the digital QR codes that will be around the venue. Having feedback through the official channels is vital and will allow us to best action any points raised.

Please come and speak to us whenever is convenient if you have any feedback!

Presentations will take place on Tuesday evening, for the Trophy, and Thursday evening, for the Championship. These are expected to take place at approximately 19:00 for the Trophy, and 17:00 for the Championship, but this is subject to change at any point.

We will endeavour to keep people updated throughout the days competition.
