Class Eligibility Guide

Official WNBF Criteria

  1. Round 1 of 2

    Symmetry

    Competitors perform mandatory quarter turns. Judges assess balance and proportion (e.g., between upper and lower body). No one body part should overpower the rest.

    • Upper & lower balance
    • No dominant body part
    • X-frame
  2. Round 2 of 2

    Muscle Tone & Presentation

    Key is to be conditioned, displaying a hard physique with separation between all muscle groups. Muscle definition may be more than Figure, but overall muscle mass is less than Women's Bodybuilding. Posing skill and presentation are also evaluated.

    • Hard, separated physique
    • Smooth
    • Not overly ripped

Every class is scored by a panel of 5 to 7 judges. How judging works

Posing guide

Athletes face the judges in the face front pose, then make 4 quarter turns to the right.

Face Front

  • Heels together, toes forward. Your toes may turn slightly out to show your thighs.
  • Spread your lats, arms semi-relaxed at your sides.

Posing tip: Show your X-frame and overall balance. No one body part should overpower the rest.

  • Turn your upper body no more than 30 degrees towards the judges.
  • Feet beside each other, one offset forward or back by about 7.5 cm (3 in).

Face Rear

  • Face the rear, heels together, toes forward. Your toes may turn slightly out to show your thighs.

I-Walk

The I-Walk is separate from the judging comparisons and isn't scored, but it may be used to break a tie. It's your chance for some individual stage time to show your physique and athleticism, in 40 seconds or less.

Once per category: you only do your I-Walk in the first class you compete in for each category on the day. For example, if you enter Novice and Open in Fit Body, you will only do your I-Walk in the Novice class.

On stage
  • Start with a pose of your choice at rear centre stage, then walk to the centre front.
  • Present your 5 mandatory poses, in any order you like.
  • Hold each pose for no more than 3 seconds.
  • Keep your poses athletic, not too bodybuilding. Extra Fit Body poses and transitions are welcome.
Music
  • The I-Walk is done to music chosen by WNBF Australia.
  • You have 40 seconds maximum for your I-Walk.
