The British Artificial Competition Rules (BACR) is the rulebook used (in conjunction with the FIS ICR) for British races on artificial slopes. It covers aspects specific to British events that are not already covered in, or are different from, the ICR, and should be used in conjunction with ICR.
For a couple of the books (V and VII) there is no separate artificial rulebook, so you should use the corresponding BCR book.
