PROCEDURE OF THE RACE
From 2013 the Competitions (unless notified) will take place with Direct Competition. 1 REGISTRATION AND WEIGHING OPERATIONS Confirmation of registration for the Competition must be made using the appropriate form by the Athletes actually present. The following must be present at the weight and height operations: - a person in charge of the organisation, - a judge who takes minutes. It is advisable that the athletes from the same gym can be presented together, the head of the jury will however arrange the most convenient procedure each time (for example categories) The Athlete must be weighed and measured in costume. Weight tolerances outside the 300 g allowed in addition to the limits reported in the AINBB tables are not permitted. The athlete must present himself with an identity document, the registration fee for the competition, the CD or USB (with only the song of the routine recorded), if the athlete decides to compete in two categories he will perform his Routine only one time. After the weight and height, the athlete will be included in the list of the appropriate category and will be assigned the race number. Any objection or dispute must be made immediately and recorded by the head of the jury. If the categories have fewer than three participants, they may be merged into the higher or lower weight category (in case of selection they are automatically selected). 2 PROCEDURE OF THE PRE-RACE The entire Jury must be present. In case of absence of a judge, the head of the jury can look for a new judge on site or he too can join the judging panel. The head of the jury can have judgment but it will always count as a single vote (equal to the rest of the jury). The President of the jury calls the categories onto the stage in the order he deems most suitable for the event (it is advisable to agree with the organizer). For each category each judge will draw up his own ranking indicating 1 point for the first, 2 for the second and so on. The head of the jury collects all the verdicts and with the jury secretary (made available by the organization) will perform the sums by removing the highest and lowest scores for each athlete. Only in the case of 3 judges are all the verdicts retained. The top 5 classified in each category must emerge from the counts (5 in the case of international competition). 3 PROCEDURE OF THE COMPETITION The entire jury must be present. The presentation procedure involves the entire category together or in groups of 2/3/4/5 people performing the obligatory poses. In the case of a large category, the head of the jury can break the line up into several parts (in order to better evaluate the category). The quarter turns will be performed on the left, for a complete evaluation the president of the jury may request the most muscular in the muscular categories, even in the aesthetic categories it may be requested to join the legs, frontally and back. The top 5 classified are then called and will present themselves to the public and then retreat behind the stage to return one at a time with the performance in the free routine. (The routines may be removed from the event for reasons related to the organization, in any case will be communicated before the competition takes place) The free routine has a maximum duration of 60 seconds. (90 seconds for the female categories) At the end of the category the finalist athletes all return to the stage to perform the pose down and then the awards ceremony takes place.
