Individual Placings (Prejudging)”, each judge will award each competitor an
individual placing from 1 to 15, ensuring that no two or more competitors

Notes” to record their assessment about each competitor.

onto Form 5, entitled “Score Sheet (Statisticians)”. They will then discard two
highest and two lowest scores (if nine judges) or one highest and one lowest

scores to produce a “Round 1 Subscore” and a “Round 1 Place”. The competitor
with the lowest subscore is awarded 1st place while the competitor with the
highest subscore is awarded 15th place.

1 Subscore”, the tie will be broken using the “Relative Placement Method”.

Each individual judge’s scores for the tied athletes will be compared on
a column -by column basis with a dot being placed on top of the number for the
athlete with the lower placing. All nine regular panel judge’s scores (except
alternative judges) will be included in the tie breaking calculations. The
number of dots will be tallied for each of the tied athletes. The athlete with
the greater number of dots will be declared the winner of the tie and will then
receive the better placing.
4. The scores for the
Prejudging will be used to place the top 15 competitors from 1st place to 15th
place. The top 6 competitors from the Prejudging will advance to the Finals and
will start the Finals with zero points.
5. The top 6 finalists will be announced just after
the Prejudging.
Article 10 – Assessing of the Elimination Round, Round 1 and Round 2 10.1 All rounds are

the overall appearance of a competitor, including the whole physique. Then, the
assessment should take into account: the overall body development and shape;

condition of the skin and the skin tone; the hair and handsomeness; the athlete’s
ability to present himself with confidence and the general impression made by
the competitor.

a nice appearance. The physique should neither be excessively muscular nor
excessively lean. Physiques that are considered too muscular or too lean must
be marked down.

Judges are looking
for the contestant with the best stage presence and poise, who can successfully
convey his personality to the audience and the athlete’s ability to present
himself onstage with confidence.
4. The judge’s assessment of
the athlete’s physique should include the athlete’s entire presentation, from
the moment he walks onstage until the moment he walks offstage. At all times,

HOW TO
ASSESS THE MEN’S FIT-MODEL QUARTER TURNS
With the exception of the
upper part of the thighs, which are covered by board shorts, the assessment
should take the whole physique into account. The assessment, beginning with a
general impression of the physique, should take into consideration the hair;
the overall body shape and body lines; the presentation of a balanced,
proportionally and symmetrically developed physique; the condition of the skin
and the skin tone; and the athlete’s ability to present himself with confidence
and elegance. The judges should favour competitors with a harmonious,
proportional, classical male physique, good posture, correct anatomical
structure (including body framework, correct spinal curves, limbs and trunk in
good proportion, straight legs, not bandy or
knock- kneed). Vertical proportions (legs
to upper body length) and horizontal proportions (hips and waist to shoulder width)
are ones of the key factors.
The body parts should have
a nice and firm appearance with a decreased amount of body fat. The physique
should neither be excessively muscular nor excessively lean and should be free
from deep muscle separation and/or sharp striations. Physiques that are
considered too muscular, too hard, too dry or too lean must be marked down.
The assessment should also
take into consideration the tone of the skin. The skin tone should be smooth
and healthy in appearance. The hair should complement the “Total Package”
presented by the athlete.
The judge’s assessment of
the athlete’s physique should include the athlete’s entire presentation, from
the moment he walks onstage until the moment he walks offstage. At all times,
the Men’s Fit-Model competitor must be viewed with the emphasis on a “healthy
and proportional” physique, in an attractively presented, impressive “Total
Package”.
APPENDIX

HOW TO PERFORM AND ASSESS MEN’S FIT-MODEL INDIVIDUAL PRESENTATION (ROUND

in pocket or on hip.
- The competitor will then turn to his right and perform the left side stance.
- The competitor will then turn to his right and
perform back stance.
- The competitor will then
turn to his right and perform the right side stance.
- The competitor will then turn to his right and
perform the front position.
The competitor will then
walk to the line-up in the rear part of the stage, according to the Stage
Director’s directive.
The judges will be
assessing each competitor on how well they display their physique in move.
Competitors shall be assessed on whether or not they carry themselves in a
graceful manner while moving on the stage. The pace, the elegance of moves,
gestures, “showmanship”, personality, charisma, stage presence, as well as a
natural rhythm should play a part in the final placing of each competitor.
APPENDIX
4:
HOW TO PERFORM AND ASSESS MEN’S FIT-MODEL INDIVIDUAL PRESENTATION IN
ROUND 3
Male fit-models are encouraged to look relaxed
and smile. Have fun with the audience and judges as much as possible. Try to
keep the posing relaxed. You should be displaying a relaxed look. Each pose
should be kept for 2-3 seconds to allow the judges to asses a competitor. Running
around the stage is not recommended. Competitors should select poses which suit
their body type. Transitions between poses should be smooth and graceful. Under
no circumstances bend over when turning to the back. Have a theme or motif to
your posing by being a little creative. The outfits are meant to highlight
individuality and character of competitors. Hair should be well presented and
suit well fitting to their body type.
The judges are watching to see the way the
outfits are worn, as well as the personality displayed. It is the competitor
and not the outfit that is being judged, however these costumes can add to the
score by making a competitor impressive and memorable to judges. Confidence,
charisma, a good attitude, as well as looking at ease on stage are all vital.
Proper muscle tone, posture and symmetry, attractive, marketability, and even a
contestant’s outfit selection are also taken into consideration.
Athletes may add a
trademark wave to their walk. Judged for their overall appearance, as well as
poise, confidence and outfit, contestants must be comfortable on stage, should
enjoy being in the spotlight, and should let their personalities shine through.
