Institutions can request up to 100 non-guaranteed entries in both the male and female events and 10 guaranteed. The 10 guaranteed will be selected in rank order.  Institution Administrations must rank competitors in order of preference when submitting entries. If the event reaches capacity, BUCS will restrict entries and this will be done equally across instituions.

This means when submitting entries on BUCS Play, for both the Men’s competition and Women’s competition, competitors should be ranked in order of preference before being submitted.
 

Ski Race only: 

Registered Racers

All BARTS registered racers should declare their number on their entries to assist with seeding. All registered racers with below 300 points will automatically qualify for GS. All competitiors must compete in the Slalom to gain automatic qualification.

Star Racers

Each insitution can name a male and female star racer. This racer should be their best non registered racer (not in possesion of a BARTS and have below 300 points). Star racers will automatically qualify for GS. All competitors must compete in the Slalom to gain automatic qualification.

To select a star racer please ensure they are ranked as number 1 in your ski race selections.

BUCS points will be allocated for the top 4 finshers in each elite race (novice competitions are not eligable for BUCS Points) and duals competition.
