Calendar of Events
Championship Information
The following competitions are currently offered within the BUSA Programme
Short Course Championships
Long Course Championships
Team Championships
Please note that the structure of the team championships will change for the 2007-2008
season. Because the team championships are being part of the British University Games (see
below for further information), both the qualifying rounds and finals will be held over one
weekend in Sheffield. There will now be three divisions, with 10 teams in each league for both
the north and the south qualifying groups. Because of a restriction on the number of teams that
can be accommodated at Sheffield (60 teams), it may be necessary to hold a pre-qualifying
event in both the north and south to reduce the teams to the necessary number. This is likely to
be held before Christmas (after the Short Course Championships) and all potential teams
involved (only new teams for the 2007-2008 season) will be informed as soon as possible.
