BUCS Points are awarded for the top 4 individuals from the Mens and Womens Individual BUCS Competition.

BUCS points are also awarded for the top 8 for men and women's team. Team positions are calculated based on performance of all men or women BUCS entrants of that institution, not including performance in the BUCS individual competition. In order to be eligible for BUCS points, a category must have a minimum of six competitiors.
