INBF "FIGURE" COMPETITION RULES

     Figure will be judged based on one round of prejudging, where competitors will be compared while wearing a two-piece swimsuit and high-heal shoes.  Comparisons will be made in the standard quarter-turns of the competitors.  Judging will reward toned muscularity, relative leanness, overall symmetry, facial beauty, stage presence, poise, elegance, and overall fit look.  There will be no fitness demonstration.  All competitors will perform a stage walk in their swimsuits at the night show. 
     The two-piece swimsuit must be in good taste; thongs or T-back bottoms are not allowed.  The suit must be a solid color (no bold patterns allowed), but may be adorned with rhinestones, sparkles, sequins, etc. for added  effect.
     Body jewelry (piercing) is allowed, so long as it is not offensive.  Other jewelry (earrings, necklace, bracelets) may be worn, but should not obscure the physique or be in poor taste.
     The INBF is looking to reward women who have fit, toned physiques, yet who are not necessarily proficient in gymnastics or another performance art.

***  Like all INBF & WNBF sanctioned events, each competitor must be 7 years drug free.  This will be evaluated by extensive polygraph examination.  The top 3 in the figure category will also be asked to submit urine.
