COVID-19 Measures

What are we doing to ensure your safety?

What’s new for 2020-21?

Like always, we are taking safety at our event seriously. After careful consideration during the off season regarding the current Covid-19 pandemic, the BUCS team have implemented the following measures to promote the health and wellbeing of competitors, officials, volunteers and staff.

We created these measures by:

1. Seeking advice from local authorities and National Governing Bodies regarding the current Covid-19 restrictions and recommendations
2. Collaboration with the host venues
3. Following of Government and NHS advice
4. Consultation with BUCS Chief Medical Officer

New Measures:

1. Event Disclaimer updated to include specifics around Covid-19
2. Limited entries to adhere to capacity restrictions
3. New event format of 6s to make the event viable in light of the pandemic
4. Designated times for arrival and departure (Event Guide should include this if applicable)
5. Staff members and volunteers interacting with competitors will be wearing appropriate PPE/face coverings
6. Temperature checks on arrival. Any competitor failing a temperature check will not be permitted to compete.

12. Extra cleaning and disinfecting of frequently touched surfaces and facilities
13. We will be operating on a restricted access policy and no spectators are permitted
