Eligibility
Any archer eligible to compete in the BUCS Championships shall be eligible to compete for a team in the E-League. Archers who are eligible for the BUCS Novice category may compete for both a Novice and Experienced team in each round.
​
Team Competition: Non-Compound (4 archers)
All Recurve, Barebow and Longbow archers are eligible for this team. Universities may enter more than one team at a time. The top 4 scores from one club will be taken for the ‘A’ team, the second 4 for the ‘B’ team, etc. Only the highest score from each archer will be considered in any one round. An archer may compete in more than one team (A/B/C etc.) over the year.
​
Team Competition: Novice Non-Compound (3 archers)
All Novice Recurve, Barebow and Longbow archers are eligible for this team. All novice teams shall compete in one division. Universities may, again, enter more than one team per round if their numbers warrant it. (A novice is an archer who has begun shooting in the current academic year.) Novice scores may be counted twice per round – once for a Recurve team and once for a Novice Recurve team.
​
Team Competition: Compound (2 archers)
All Compound archers are eligible for this team. Universities may also enter more than one team, should they have the numbers.
Points and Divisions
Top scores will be taken for the teams, no pre-selection is required. Teams will be placed in Divisions similar to the previous year’s e-league. Points will be awarded, depending on the number of teams in the division. E.g. a league of 8 would have the top team scoring 8 points, the second placed team 7 points, etc. Any team not entering that round shall not be awarded any points. Results for each month will be published. Final results will be published by end of April. In the event of a tie, final positions shall be decided on the average of all 5 league scores.
​
Divisions for the 2023-2024 season have been determined from last years results.
For subsequent seasons membership of these divisions will be maintained, save that any team which is in the top two in their division will be exchanged with one of the bottom two from the division above, if they have a higher average score over the year.
Only ‘A’ teams may be in the first division and there are no other other division restrictions for the remaining teams.
Incomplete Teams, Sole Archers and Individual Rankings
Universities may enter incomplete teams for some or all of the months. Archers being the sole representative of their university may also enter if they wish. In addition to the Team competitions, individual rankings will also be given in the results. The top twenty individuals will receive points in each round of the league. The overall places will be decided on total points with ties broken by average score.
Novices
Novices are defined as per BUCS regulation "ARC 3 Eligibility for Novice categories".
Submissions
Each University will be given access to a submission form. All information will be automatically collected on the designated closing date, and shortly afterwards the relevant tab will be closed for editing.
