NANBF BIKINI GUIDELINES
Eligibility
NANBF Bikini competition participants must be age 18
or older. Current membership to NANBF is required of all competitors to
participate in NANBF events. All NANBF shows are natural events, meaning
use of performance enhancing substances are not permitted. Complete
details on drug testing and a list of banned substances can be viewed
online at . Competitors must successfully pass a polygraph screening
prior to events to attest to their natural status.
Overview
The NANBF Bikini division consists of two parts: Group Comparisons
and Individual Presentations (stage walks). For events that have
separate times for prejudging and finals, individual presentations
(stage walks) are only performed at finals. Two-piece suits and
high-heeled shoes are worn for both parts of the contest. Suits can be
of any style, color and pattern with the exception of being a
thong/T-back bottom.
Judging Criteria
A specific level of
muscularity or leanness is not sought after for NANBF Bikini
competition. Judging is based on having an overall healthy-looking toned
body with good symmetry, shape, fullness, balance and proportion with
good poise, posture, confidence, stage presence and comfortable
presentation. Other factors that can affect overall appearance are skin
tone, complexion, suit fit, hair and make-up. Bikini competitors should
not display an abundance of muscle size, deep muscle separation, or
muscle striations.
Group Comparisons Body Evaluations
Each class is brought to front center stage and is guided through half
turns to display physiques from the front and back. The front and rear
stances are to be with one hand on a hip with the opposite hip extended
outward. Stances should be fairly relaxed. Competitors should not appear
to be flexing. The leg on the side with hand on hip should have toes
angled outward slightly while the opposite legs toes should point
straight forward.
Individual Presentations Stage Walks
The individual presentation portion for NANBF Bikini competitions is a
stage walk. Competitors walk out to music of their choice and perform a
T walk. A T-walk consists of walking out to rear center stage and
pausing briefly in a stance of choice. Competitors then walk up to front
center stage and perform half turns to show a front and back view of
their physiques, then walk to stage left and pause briefly in a stance
of choice, then walk to stage right and pause briefly in a stance of
choice, then walk to the front center of the stage and pause briefly in
a stance of choice, and finally walk off stage diagonally to the side
from which they entered. The walk resembles a T, which is how it got
its name. Individual presentations should be done tastefully and be
conducive to a family atmosphere. Bodybuilding-type poses, fitness moves
(like push-ups) and costumes/props should be avoided.
Scoring
Each judge takes scoring all criteria into account and assigns one
overall score for each contestant in the form of rank during the group
comparison round, such as 1st through 7th place, for example. A highest
and lowest rank for each competitor is dropped as a safeguard against
human error and/or bias, whether intentional or on a subconscious level.
The remaining judges' placements are summed, and the competitor with the
lowest sum total receives first place in the class. Second lowest sum
receives 2nd place, and so on.
Additional Information:
-Jewelry is permitted
-Crossovers (entering additional
divisions/categories) are not permitted between Bikini, Figure and
Bodybuilding)
