CBBF Judging Guidelines for Fitness & Figure/Body Fitness
(Posted January 15, 2007)
|
The CBBF will follow the IFBB amateur
rules as a guideline for judging fitness and figure/body fitness
at CBBF National events.
Physique Assessment will include:
overall athletic appearance
grooming (hair and facial beauty)
overall athletic development of the muscle
proportion & symmetry
condition of the skin & skin tone
presentation ( poise, posture, confidence)
Judges will first assess the overall athletic appearance of
the physique. The assessment beginning with a general impression
of the physique will take into consideration the hair, facial
beauty, overall athletic development of the muscle, presentation
of a balanced, symmetrically developed physique, condition of
the skin, the skin tone and the athletes ability to present
herself with confidence, poise and grace.
The physique will be assessed as to its level of overall muscle
tone, achieved through athletic endeavours. The muscle groups
should have a round firm appearance with a small amount of body
fat. The physique should neither be excessively muscular nor
excessively lean and should be free from deep muscle separation
and or striations. Physiques that are considered either too
muscular or too lean may be marked down.
The assessment will also take into consideration
the tightness and tone of the skin. The skin tone should be
smooth and healthy in appearance and without cellulite. The
face, hair and makeup should complement the " total package"
presented by the athlete.
The assessment of the athlete's physique will include the athlete's
entire presentation from the moment she walks on stage until
the moment she walks off stage. Emphasis will be placed on a
healthy, fit, athletic physique in an attractively presented
"total package".
In addition there have been no changes to the competition attire
for either fitness or figure/body fitness at CBBF National events.
