N.G.A. Mid-Atlantic Fitness Figure Events
All Mid-Atlantic Fitness Figure contestants must possess a current N.G.A. card, which is good for one year and should be purchased through the Mid-Atlantic N.G.A. at the competition registration. If N.G.A. card is purchased through the N.G.A. website or at an event outside of the Mid-Atlantic region, the contestant must make sure that they obtain and present written proof that they have a current N.G.A. card (failure to have this will necessitate purchasing a card prior to competing at the event). All contestants must take and pass the event polygraph drug test.
Fitness Figure Standards
The judging standards for the Fitness Figure Competition will be based upon the following:
* A general athleticism to the body (a feminine muscularity)
* The contestant should show good balance proportion and symmetry to her physique.
* From the front shoulders should be well defined and flow nicely into the triceps and biceps. There should be a taper from the lats into the oblique noticeably flowing into the sweep of the upper thigh. In general, the physique should show separation and conditioning, but not be overly lean or striated.
* From the side, the body should show a nice taper from the lat, then tie into the oblique showing an “oblique sweep”. The legs should be muscular with a minimum of separation of the quads. The calves should be well developed, and semi-flexed from the use of heels.
* From the back, the shoulders should be well rounded with the lats having displaying a nice taper to the lumbar area. The back should be well defined without being overly bulky. The glutes and hamstrings should be firm, and should show a well developed outer sweep to the thigh. Calves should be firm and nicely developed.
* Presentation and color tone will be considered.
* Transitions from each quarter turn should be fluid without hesitation and demonstrate practiced poise.

The contestant will present quarter turns with other contestants wearing their one piece swim suits and choice of heels. Judges may ask to change contestants order for comparison. Each round will be worth one half of the total score.
Night Show
At the night show contestants will be introduced one by one. They will move to stage left or stage right as directed. When all contestants are on stage they will lined up for quarter turns then exit the stage.
In the awards round the top three will be selected, others will file of stage, at which point the placing will be announced. Class winners will be brought out for comparison to select overall winner.

* Do not use pastel suits. They have a tendency to wash you out under the lights.
* Wear little to no platforms on high heels. Thick platforms tend to detract from calve display.
