Championship Rules

The Club promotes various Championships for which an award is presented to the competitor who gains the most points over the duration of the Championship. The Championships are open to all fully elected members (and junior members for the Junior Championship) of the Club and normally run from January to December of each year.

Only fully paid up members of BAC will be allowed to contend in Championships and accumulate points. Points cannot be claimed prior to date of membership. Members must be able to produce a valid Membership Card prior to entering any event or present a completed membership application accompanied with the correct subscription fee. In the event of any disputes concerning the allocation of points, the Committee’s decision will be final.

All points must be claimed in person (or by relatives for junior members) on a Club night on the official BAC claim form within 4 weeks of the event date, accompanied by proof of results for competitive events.

Claims should be made to the Results Secretary. If the Results Secretary is not available, the form should be given to a member of the Committee.
