Muscularity and Body Condition
Judges will be looking for fit contestants who display proper shape and symmetry combined with muscularity and overall condition. This is not a bodybuilding contest so extreme muscularity should be marked down.
Stage Presence and Personality
Contestants will be asked to walk in board shorts (shorts must be just above the knee in length and can be one inch below the belly button. No spandex and no sponsor logos are permitted on the board shorts. (however a manufacturer’s logo such as Nike symbol or Billabongs are acceptable.) Competitors will enter the stage without a shirt and barefoot. No lewd acts are allowed for example the moon pose. No Gymnastics moves, flips, hand stands or other dangerous maneuvers are allowed. Judges are looking for the contestant with the best stage presence and poise who can successfully convey his personality to the audience.
COMPETITION JUDGING
Presentation
Competitors will walk to the center of the stage alone and perform front and back pose with optional pose of hand on hip or hand in pocket, finishing facing the judges then proceed to the side of the stage as directed. Competitors have ten seconds to complete their front pose, back pose and return to face the judges. Excessive transition poses may prevent competitors from completing their front and back poses.
Comparison Round
The competitors will be brought back out in a group and directed to do turns by the Head Judge.
Judges will have the opportunity to compare competitors against each other in turns.
