SINGLE ENTRY

This competition will NOT operate a staged entry process. As such, please ensure all entries are submitted through BUCS Play prior to the closing date listed above.

The following events are available to enter, across both Men's and Women's Categories:

Championship

Trophy

BUCS Points are awarded to the top 24 teams across an entire gender category, rather than separately by competition, e.g. If there are 16 teams in the Championship, points are awarded to all of these teams, followed by the top 8 teams in the Trophy competition. The allocation is as follows:

The full allocation can be found in Appendix 1.

Institutions can enter more than one men’s and one women’s team. If the event reaches capacity BUCS reserves the right to cut entries. If entries are cut, entry priority will be given in the following order:

• Championship teams from 2025-26 (first team only)
• Trophy teams from 2025-26 (first team only)
• New Institutions first teams
• Institution second/third etc teams

Institution Administrators (IA) must enter the desired number of teams on BUCS Play.

The competition will be capped at 24 teams total across both levels of competition, per gender. Based on entry numbers, BUCS and England Lacrosse will decide on the split of teams per Championship and Trophy.

This may be different across genders, based on the number of entries received, but will be a split of 8 and 16 teams across Championship and Trophy. The entry allowance above will still apply should there be a need to cut teams, however teams may be offered a different level of competition if the level they applied for is oversubscribed.  

To apply for this competition:

1. Entries will need to be submitted via the team entries section of our online entry system, BUCS Play (Instructions on how to do this can be found here)
2. Please speak to your Institution Administrator as they will need to submit your entry.
3. A Team Captain must be selected as part of the team before entries close.
4. Competitors then need to apply for their respective team. (Instructions on how to do this can be found here)
