The arm nearest to the judges will be straight and locked at the elbow, with open hand, thumb and fingers together, palm facing down and in a horizontal position. The competitor will exert pressure against her front arm, thereby causing the triceps muscle to contract. The rear leg will be bent at the knee and the foot will rest flat on the floor. Leg nearest to the judges will be straight, locked at the knee, moved forward and resting on the toes. d.Abdominals and Thighs : Standing face front to the judges, the competitor will place one arm behind the head and will place one leg forward. He will then contract the abdominal muscles by “crunching” the trunk slightly forward. At the same time, he will contract the thigh muscles of the leg(s). The judge will survey the abdominal and thigh muscles, and then conclude with the head-to-foot examination. 3) 1 Minute free posing (can without shoes) 3. The scoring of the preliminary assessment is the same like in other disciplines. The competitors are guided on stage by the onstage expediters in numerical order in a single line. In groups of not more than 5 competitors at a time they will be guided through the four quarter turns and the 5 Compulsory Poses. This will give the judges sufficient time to prepare for individual comparisons. Once this preliminary assessment in the quarter turns and 5 Compulsory Poses is completed each judge is given the possibility for call outs of not more than 5 competitors at one time. After the individual comparisons are concluded the onstage expediters will guide the competitors off the stage. 4. The judges will score the competitors from the first place to the last place in the same way like in other disciplines. 5. The points of the prejudging will be added in the final round. 6. The main emphasize should be given on a total appearance of a symmetrical muscular, and defined body of the athlete 7. The scoring of the preliminary is the same like in other disciplines. Photos of the athletes will soon follow, so we have a better understanding of how athletic physique Athletes should look like.

3. JUDGES AND SCORING
HEAD JUDGE
The head Judge shall be qualified, experienced and able to conduct the competition and supervise the judging panel. The head judge will handle the communications between the judging panel and the competitors. The head judge will normally not vote unless there is an insufficient number of judges present.
SCORING JUDGES
The judging panel will consist of an odd number of judges with no less than five. Each must be qualified within his/her organization and must be screened by the WFF-WBBF International Judging Committee. Scoring sheets will then be scrutinized for competency and further judging assignments will be based on proficiency.
SCORING
The scoring procedure used will be of the placement system. The format is judging by selection – as opposed to a points marking system.
Competitors of each Category will be scored and placed by each Judge according to the judging criteria specified for each Category of Competition (Judging Ctireria - see our presented detailed judging criteria of each Amateur Category). Judging results are transferred to a “master sheet” to determine each competitor’s final placing. This is achieved by adding up the place votes of each competitor and recording the total.
Where five or seven judges are used, one high and one low score shall be dropped. When using a panel of nine judges, the two highest and two lowest scores shall be excluded in computing each competitor’s final placing. Ties will be broken by the lowest placing system not most first votes. This deduction is necessary to guard or eliminate judging bias and bad judging. After deduction the competitor with the lowest collective total will be declared the winner. If two or more athletes have the same number of firsts the judges chairman shall have the casting vote. If judges consider an athlete does not meet the required standard they have the right to eliminate the athlete from the contest.
The number of finalists in each category shall be recorded on a judges list of competitors. Three finalists of each Category is normally recommended. In Categories with a large entry this may be extended to six Finalists.
The use of bronzers, tanning lotions and crème, gels, posing oils or other high-lighting products is acceptable for both prejudging (Semi-Finals) and evening performance (Finals).
The competitor will perform the routine to her own music which must be on a CD.
A good quality CD should be used and the music should be at the beginning of the CD. It is to the athletes advantage to select the music piece which can dramatically enhance the free posing presentation. Words or lyrics on the CD must not contain profanity or be offensive.

WHAT INTERNATIONAL CONTEST IS OFFICIAL AND WHAT CONTEST IS NOT OFFICIAL? OFFICIAL INTERNATIONAL CONTESTS. If You will address to any Olympic Committee or Sport Ministry, then any of You will get a plain answer - official Internetional contests are the folowing ones: -Olympic Games -World Championship and World Cup -Continent Championship or Cup (America, Europe, Asia etc..). Every officially working International Sport Federation follow the above statement. OFFICIAL NATIONAL CONTESTS Official National Contests are: Annual National Championship and National Cup. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS TO WFF-WBBF INTERNATIONAL CONTEST ORGANIZERS. Three specific requirements of the WFF-WBBF International should be followed: 1.officially appointed group of the International secretaries (including a professional photographer) must work at any official contest 2.at least 5 Internationally Certified Judges must work at any official contest. International Judges Certificates are given to any National Judge after attending the annual International Judges Seminar. 3.The organizer of any official contest must solve the question of covering expences of International secretaries and International judges that must be present at a definite official event 4.Any International contest that does not cover these 3 above requirements can not be official from the point of view of the WFF-WBBF International. WFF-WBBF INTERNATIONAL OFFICIAL CONTESTS In difference to most so called „International bodybuilding federations“ the WFF-WBBF International does it‘s best to work as any official federation of any sport. „various „festivals“, „weekends“, „classics“, „nights of champions“, „variety shows“ never were WFF-WBBF official contests as it is among other „federations“. The 50 years lasting history of the WFF-WBBF federation is highly connected with „Amber Prix International“ which served as the unofficial World Champiomnship of over 20 socialist countries for nearly 30 years. It was recognized by the Ministry of Sport of the USSR (1989). This is the reason the „Amber Prix International“ is included to the WFF-WBBF official contests. Also bodybuilding is not an Olympic kind of sport. This is the reason that the WFF-WBBF counts the status of the „Universe“ contest equal to the World Championship. In 2018 about 60 contests are organized under the WFF-WBBF name in various countries. For example: 12 contests in Russia (most of them are International), 8 contests in Belorussia (4 of them International), 2 in Poland, 6 in Brazil, 2 in Paraguay etc... These contests are not folowing the specific requirements of the WFF-WBBF International official contest. The 2018 Official International Contests of the WFF-WBBF International Federation are: February 26, 2018, ASIA CHAMPIONSHIP, Ludhiana, India May 19, 2018, 51-st „AMBER PRIX INTERNATIONAL“, Klaipeda, Lithuania May 20, 2018, PRO „UNIVERSE“, Klaipeda, Lithuania June 9, 2018, WORLD GRAND PRIX RUSSIA, Sochi, Russia September 22, 2018, WORLD AMATEUR CUP, Pattaya, Thailand September 29, 2018, AMATEUR UNIVERSE, Jekaterinburg, Russia October 13, 2018, WORLD PRO CHAMPIONSHIP, Klaipeda, Lithuania October 13, 2018, WORLD AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP, Klaipeda, Lithuania October 20, 2018, WORLD PRO CUP, Paphos, Cyprus.
