BUCS Sport Specific Affiliations 2021-22

Clubs, teams and individuals participating in certain competitions need to affiliate with their National Governing Body (NGB) or meet other requirements in order to be eligible to take part. Each sport is different. Find out your sport's requirements below.

Please read through this document carefully and use the links associated to each sport to access any further relevant information.

There are three sections to this document:

1) BUCS Team Championships (Leagues and Knockouts): NGB Affiliations, Memberships, Registrations etc.

2) BUCS Team Championships (Leagues and Knockouts): Other – Ranking Lists, Data Submissions etc.

3) BUCS Individual and Team Championships (Events)

Most of the items in each section are compulsory requirements that MUST be met, and as a result, most carry sanctions if not completed by the published deadlines. However, there are also some others which are not compulsory requirements but that BUCS believes are valuable for members to undertake. Please read the details associated with each one for further information. Deadlines will ONLY be listed here, not on the sport specific pages or in the rules and regulations.

If there are any questions not answered by the information provided, then please feel free to contact BUCS directly via email.

Please note that the information within this document is subject to change. Should any updates be required then the document will be re-published, and Institution Administrators will be notified via e-mail.
