Please note that BUCS points will not be allocated where the minimum number of competitors has not been reached, and where there are not enough individual scores to extract a team score. Furthermore, an individual/team must have beaten another individual/team to score BUCS points (i.e. if 3 individuals finish an event, only 2 will score BUCS points).

Competitor withdrawals must be made by a competitors athletic/ students union by emailing Maddi Cannell.

Withdrawals before the entry deadline, 25 September 2025 at 11:59pm [Stage 1] will not be charged.

Withdrawals after the entry deadline 25 September 2025 at 11:59pm [Stage 1] and before midday on the 15 October 2025 will be fined £10 and will still be charged the entry fee.

Competitors who do not withdraw before midday on the 15 October 2025 and do not attend registration will be classed as a late withdrawal/ no show and therefore will be charged the entry fee and will also be fined £20 which will be charged after the event to the competitor’s athletic union.
