BUCS SEASON STARTS ON 31st OCTOBER
As the final International Series Game at Wembley is being played on Sunday 1st November, almost all BUCS league games will be played on the Saturday 31st October from that weekend. Can all officials ensure they update Arbiter to reflect this please. We need as many of you to be available as it is unlikely the NFL Chain Crew officials will be available (8).
In addition some of you may be travelling to London to watch the game, so if you may want to work a game away from your usual area, if so let operations@bafra.org know as soon as possible so that we can assign you accordingly.
