FIGURE INTRODUCTION
 |
The Figure America format shows have become extremely popular since its introduction in 2005. It offers a competitive forum with a pageantry format for natural, drug-free ladies whom have an athletic body with a slightly muscular appearance.
There are three divisions based upon age. However, mature competitors may compete in any age division.
- Open Division (Three Height Classes - Any Age)
- Under 5'1"
- Over 5'1" to 5'4"
- Over 5'4"
- Height classes may be adjusted to provide balanced distribution.
- Classic Division (One Class - 35+ Years of Age)
- Masters Division (One Class - 45+ Years of Age)
|
BODY CONDITION
|
There's one major difference between Ms. Bikini and Figure competitors - body condition. While Ms. Bikini competitors must have an athletic, shapely and sexy appearance, Figure America may be slightly muscular, have low body fat but still present a shapely look. Ladies who have a more natural muscular body would best compete in Figure while those with a softer but still toned body best compete in Ms. Bikini. Sample competitor images are presented for reference.
|
CONTEST ROUNDS
|
There is one competitive round at Figure America in which competitors must wear a two piece swimsuit. Competitors will walk in a 'H' or 'T' configuration (depending upon the stage design). Judges will call for quarter turns when contestants must present an erect and stiff body posture. Finally, judges will line-up all contestants in their respective height classes and call for group comparisons. No bodybuilding style poses should be presented by competitors. At all shows, competitors will have a short rehearsal. Shoes must be a standard high heel and no clog to exaggerate a competitor's height.
|
SWIMSUIT DESIGN
|
The two piece swimsuit may have high, side cuts and extremely thin straps to extenuate competitor body lines. However, no thong or 'T' cuts are permitted. This is distinctly different from the more standard swimsuit designs as required in both the Ms. Bikini and Fitness competitions. Sample competitor images are presented for reference.
|
DRUG TESTING CRITERIA
|
Because the Figure America Championships is a natural sporting event, all competitors will be subjected to urinalysis drug tesing at the Registration on Thursday AM, November 18. Attached is a complete list of substances which will be included. If a contestant is tested positive for any of the listed substances, he/she will be disqualified from the competition, forfeit any prizes and/or rewards and be unable to compete in any Figure Universe event worldwide for at least 2 years. Also, if a contestant refuses to submit to drug testing or attempts to manipulate and/or alter a urinalysis sample, then he/she will be immediately disqualified from the competition.
|
JUDGES
|
Figure America will be judged by bodybuilding trainers, coaches and professional bodybuilders. Ms. Bikini judges are fitness coaches and trainers, talent agents, photographers and others representing mainstream sport disciplines. Prospective competitors contemplating which event to select should consider that the perspective of each set of judges will reflect their experiences and expertise.
|
MULTIPLE EVENTS
|
Competitors can participate in more than one event if they choose including Ms. Bikini, Figure, Fitness, Model and/or Bodybuilding. Each event will be scored by a completely different panel of judges, so competitors placing in respective events may vary according significantly. A Ladies Event Comparison chart is provided for reference.
