Scoring System

The Open Natural™ will feature categories for Men's Bodybuilding, Women's Bodybuilding, Women's Figure, Men's Classic Physique, Bikini and Men's Physique.

Competitors aged 16-39 will be placed in the Open group. Contestants over 40 years old can compete in Masters 40-49, Masters 50-59, and Masters 60+. If any of the groups become overly populated, the Head Judge reserves the right to split them into height classes (e.g., Bikini Open tall, Bikini Open short). On the other hand, if any of the groups become underpopulated, the Head Judge reserves the right to merge age classes (e.g., 40-49 with 50-59). 

A standard panel of five judges will adopt the Ranking System, which involves assigning each participant an ordinal number (first, second, third, etc.). These numbers will then be weighted to find the median score and sort the results from lowest to highest.”
