The Double Buce Club is a reference to the players of Buce who have achieved a double point Buce. This is a rare achievement and is often thought to only ever be done through fluke. The first four players to score a double Buce all achieved the feat within one week, the Godly Buce Week.

Only nine Buce players have achieved this, and hence there are only nine members of the Double Buce Club:

The Double Double Buce Club

The Double Double Buce Club is a running joke among Buce Players for players who have scored two Double Buces. The only member of the Double Double Buce Club is Guy Bevan, with Charlie Rogers achieving an honorary Double Double Buce in an exhibition match in the pre-season of the 2010 Buce League.

Note: There is also a joke regarding the Triple Buce Club, where a player is admitted into, if they have achieved 3 Double Buces. Again, Guy Bevan is the only player to have achieved this record, with Charlie Rogers again achieving as an honorary member, with a second Double Buce in an exhibition match.

Controversy

The Double Buce Club has been discussed as inaccurate in demonstrating players who deserve to be honoured for scoring a Double Buce. In 2008, the first four Double Buce achievements were considered worthy of being recognised, but since the new competitive nature of Buce was established, Double Buces during training sessions and exhibition matches, while being accepted into the Double Buce Club, are not respected as equals to those scored during league matches. As the Double Buce Club is for all double buces and not exclusively league ones, it is up to viewers and fans of Buce to decide their opinions on the legitimacy of the Double Buce Club.

N.B. As of 2011, those who have scored a Double Buce in exhibition matches have been granted "Honorary Members". While their achievement is still recorded in the Club and respected, they have now been separated from the achievement of a Double Buce in League matches.
