With the replacement of the old ‘BUCScore’ entry system by the new ‘BUCS Play’ system, all universities are required to provide UPC directly a ‘Team Details Form’. This is a simple form effectively letting UPC know which players are in which teams, and which non-first team players wish to play in the Individual Championship and Trophy. This is required so we can allocate the correct players to the right singles competition, either the Individual Championship or the Individual Trophy, and in what place in the draw as some players may be given byes through the first qualifying round. Please send this completed form (or equivalent) to daniel.turner@upc-pool.org.uk:
