Students,
I would like to take this opportunity to appologise in advance for
my bad spelling, I can't help it so no comments.
Right, I have had a lot of people asking me if they are elligable to
play at student tournaments this year.
Basically the obvious non-elligable people are University Staff and
people in a gap year.
The slightly more complicated issue is that of post grad and part
time students. This relies (as does the rest of the elligability
rules) on your honesty and spirit to abide by the rules.
The rule for part time students from the official BUF student
elligability rules is:
"Part time students must be able to demonstrate that their student
status is their primary occupation."
Therefore people who are in jobs that allow that person to go on day
release or something of that sort are not elligable to play. Being a
student must me the main thing that you do, not a job. This applies
to people doing post grad couses as well. If their main occupation is
being a student then they are elligable to play..
The rules also say "If you are in doubt about a players elligability
then the student co-ordinator (ME) should be contacted to confirm the
players status but no exceptions can be made - IGNORANCE IS NOT AN
EXCUSE"
So get in contact with me is you have any doubt, follow Sonics (for
those who don't know him - a postgrad from southampton uni) example
and ring me and ask - 01222 373095
Finally the rules state: "Any team fielding a non - elligable player
faces disqualification from that and next years competition."
Those are the official rules so be it on your head, I hope that
people will not now field unelligable players as doind so is
against the much recently debated SPIRIT OF THE GAME which student
teams are suppost to have LOADS of.
I hope I have cleared up any problems or questions and helped make
this years student tournaments a purley student event.
