Hi Angel! Yep the ifbb one! 10 October, they have a big write up on what they want:
Quote:
During the Final Show competitors will pose to their own music for a maximum of 60 seconds. (From 2009, INBA Promoters are allowed to offer posing an option for competitors at their shows - please check the entry form.) INBA places no restrictions on competitors in this round and the use of props is permitted. If International rules apply, the 60 seconds routine is performed at the Final Show. While the performance of the routine will not effect their placing, the judges will select the "Best Routine" trophy winner.
If Free Posing is included in judging it will be worth a third of your overall score. Keep in mind it is still a Physique contest and competitors are not disadvantaged if they do not use props or if the auditorium has not been filled with their supporters.
In this round we are looking for the following:
1. Posing Ability
2. Presentation / Entertainment - how did you enjoy the competitor's routine?
3. Physique
4. General appearance
WOMEN'S Ms FIGURE JUDGING CRITERIA
The requirement for the figure division varies from female bodybuilding in subtle ways. While figure competitors should not have the bulk of a bodybuilder, it is judged along the lines of a bodybuilding contest. As with all divisions, we require the competitors to reduce their bodyfat as low as possible, we still expect hardness and definition, but taken to the point that stops before a competitor loses their figure or shape and the individual muscle groups lose their fullness or dimension.
In round one, figure competitors perform five compulsory poses:
1) Front double bicep
2) Side chest (any side)
3) Side tricep(any side)
4) Rear double bicep
5) Abdominal & thigh.
The concept of Women's Figure is to express more femininity than is done in bodybuilding. As such:
* High heel shoes are worn
* Hands remain "open" not clenched during the posing
* Jewellery and hair decorations are allowed
* Competitors may twist their physique during the symmetry round - but the Head Judge may ask for a straight line up if the closeness of the division requires full scrutiny.
Ms Figure is the most debated division regarding judging decisions. If a small and lean competitor wins - the cry is the event is now a dieting contest, if the winner is hard or muscular - Figure girls now must be 'bodybuilders in high heels', if a full or shapely girl wins it has become bikini contest, and finally, if the winner is attractive - Ms Figure is a now a beauty pageant.
As a Ms Figure competitor do not let the above confuse you - the judges are not changing their minds at each event. The answer to the Ms Figure question, "what are the judges looking for?" is to say the judges are looking for the competitor who displays the highest standard of their particular body type/shape. This covers the situations where the winner may be a 'hard' competitor who looks in peak condition or a 'full' competitor with aesthetic shape and symmetry. The judges are simply looking for the best competitor and this means you should focus on your improving your body shape/type.
