Results / Score Cards Results sheets MUST be completed at the end of every BUCS fixture (League / Cup) Please fully complete the results / scorecard, it is really important to make sure you get the results card signed by the officials and the opposition so other Universities cannot dispute scores after the fixture has finished Results cards must be brought to the Students’ Union (SU 104) by 12pm the day after you BUCS fixture Badminton – Must also complete the NGB scorecard Rugby League – Must also complete sport specific scorecard

Playing Under Protest Form Playing under protest forms MUST only be completed when necessary, please phone the Sport Coordinator before you complete a PUP Form When should I play under protest? If you are completing a PUP form it must be completed and signed by the opposition captain before the game starts The opposition cannot refuse to sign a playing under protest form Once the form is completed please keep it safe and hand it in with all other documents the day after your fixture prior to 12pm What if another opposition plays under protest against us?

Match Officials As detailed in the BUCS Captain Pack, it is YOUR responsibility to organise match officials Please use the BUCS Match Official Requirement document when organising officials If you are still unsure about Official Requirements for your team / sport please contact me prior to the BUCS Season starting (14 th October) When confirming with officials try and get it in writing (ideally over ) You should have a list of officials from last years captain that you have used in the past. If not, please get in touch with last years captain for officials contact details. If you still stuck, please contact me, prior to the start of the BUCS Season and I will assist you in find contact details for match officials
