Competitions take place throughout the year in line with University term dates, i.e. from October to Christmas and from January to May. Each competition is hosted by one of the member clubs. Clubs typically enter one or two teams (an "A" and "B" team), and each year there is both a league for A and B teams. A full list of league results can be found here[1].
These events occur at every BULSCA competition.
Hosting universities have some flexibility with these events, having to include at least one of the following events.
