British Universities & Colleges Sport (BUCS) offers opportunities for students of all fencing abilities to take part in inter-university competitions. Unlike traditional BUCS matches, which take place in a team relay format, the competitions listed below are individual events.
Regional Events
The BUCS Regional Fencing Series, run by BUCS (British Universities & Colleges Sport) in partnership with BF, is designed to give students a fun and supportive gateway into competitive fencing. These events are aimed towards beginners and novices, and are primarily self-refereed. Began in 2019-20, the series continues to grow each year.
The BUCS Regional Series is also a great opportunity to gain more refereeing experience at a low-pressure competition. For some, it may be their first time refereeing at an event, preparing them for the practical element of the Level 2 refereeing qualification.
If you’re interested in volunteering as a referee or have any questions about the BUCS Regional Series more generally, please contact Kristian Jackson, BUCS Regional Competitions and Event Coordinator, via [email protected].
