Grand Final Update

Due to the number of competitor confirmed to attend and the fire capacity of the host venues, we have to implement an adult restriction of one per competitor or siblings, unless the adult has volunteered.

It is highly unlikely we can not facilitate more than one adult per competitor - the adult must be responsible for supervising the competitor.

If you have any questions regarding the above, please email ycs@thebmc.co.uk

Format

The Grand Final will follow the regional round formats.
