    NEW BIKINI Division

    Effective with the 2011 contest season, the N.G.A. Mid Atlantic Region will introduce the Bikini Division to its events.
    We will be publishing rules on this page, shortly.

    The use of PAM (or aerosal spray cooking oil) is prohibited

    Due to the fact that it is impossible to control the “over spray” of these PAM type of sprays, which has made the pump-up area floors a slippery hazardous surface (and there have been injuries), the use of these aerosal sprays is banned for use effective with the 2005 Mt. Rogers and for all future events in the region. The price difference between them and competition oils, such as Professional Posing Oil or Muscle Sheen is no more than a few dollars. The safety of the competitors and staff is priceless. There will be usually be posing oils for sale by contest vendors exhibiting at the shows for those who do not have them in advance. Please respect this rule and plan accordingly.

    BODYBUILDING POSING SUIT RULES

    Effective with events held in 2005, multi-colored and suits with rhinestones will be permitted for the FINALS ONLY. In the event that a competitor wishes to use a prop, only props that can be worn by the competitor will be permitted, in the finals only. In no case will anyone other than the competitor be permitted on the stage during the finals posing routines. Prejudging suits must still be one color without rhinestones. In the event of a live judged event (i.e. the Annapolis), the Prejudging rule of one color suits will be enforced, since prejudging and finals take place at the same time. In addition, as always, thongs will not be permitted in the competition at any time. If you are not sure, or have further questions, please call Dave Spindel at 703-670-8305 prior to purchasing your suit for the event.
    Note: This is for bodybuilders, only. Fitness Figure suit rules are contained in the Fitness Figure Rules (see link above).



    MUSIC INFO - CD's are now acceptable, but Cassettes are still preferred

    While we have received comments such as "glad to see you entered the modern age", only due the fact that Cassette tapes and recorders are becoming increasingly hard to find, we are now permitting CD's. The reason that we have held on to this older technology, is that Cassettes are superior to CDs in terms of their ability to instantly play on any deck. The problem with the CD technology, is that in an event where it is extremely important for the music to start immediately, CDs have to "find" the data. This is especially problematic with home recorded CDs, which sometimes can take 10 - 30 seconds (if ever) after the CD is put into the deck. Not a problem when you are in your car, but a real problem when you are standing in front of 500 or more people with dead silence. IF you are going to use a home-made CD 1) make sure that you FINALIZE the CD, and 2) play the CD on at least 3 different CD players prior to the show. If your CD does not play on our professional decks then we will simply substitute your music for a song of our choice.
