ROUND FORMAT

  • GROUP COMPARISON (Pre-judging) – Athletes will be judged by executing a series of half turns. Competitors must hit all the poses in a timely manner. Remember every time a pose is called for the judges are looking at the complete package from top to bottom and right to left, not just that body part.
  • INDIVIDUAL PRESENTATION (Finals) – Each competitor will execute a model/box walk which consists of 3-4 of your favorite poses at front center stage location. This is an opportunity for the athlete to display their stage presence and personality. NOTE!!! This portion of the event is NOT judged, but the judges will use this opportunity to evaluate your physique, document their notes, and provide feedback in the form of a post-show critique.
