Walkovers Slide Title HALLAM DON'T DO WALKOVERS In 2014/15, Hallam lost 39 League Points and 62.5 BUCS Points through walkovers - without these walkovers, the university could have moved up to 17 th place in the BUCS ranking! One walkover: loss of three league points and half of your overall BUCS points Two walkovers: further loss of three league points and all BUCS points. Withdrawn from knockout competitions. (Prem teams - automatically relegated) Three or more walkovers: further loss of 3 points per occurrence, £100-£250 fine and a £50-£100 fine for every additional walkover How to avoid this? Keep in contact Send a team out Make every effort

Problem with a fixture? - Play Under Protest Slide Title Upon arriving at a fixture, if the team feels that there is a breach in any BUCS regulations (e.g. pitch is wrongly marked, team turning up late, ineligible player) they can complete a playing under protest form. Tips for playing under protest: Play the game! Bring a Playing Under Protest form to every game Complete the form being factual and objective Get evidence Hand in the form to the Students' Union by 12noon the day after your fixture BUCS will judge the form based on the "effect that the grievance had on the result of the fixture".
