feature a T-Walk, and I-Walk, or a Box Walk. Below is a breakdown of the Figure Division with
details regarding proper competition attire, presentation and mandatory posing.

Competition Attire:
Two-piece figure suit. Thongs will not be permitted
· Competition suits may be enhanced with rhinestones, sparkle, sequins etc ·

presentation of the competitor’s physique.

5’2 1/4” up to 5’5”
5’5 1/4” up to 5’7”

Mandatory Poses:
- Front Pose – Heels must be together and in line, without either foot ahead of the other
toward the front. Heels cannot be spread wider than 2-3 inches apart. Hips MUST face the
judges and arms must remain to the sides (although they shouldn’t touch the sides or be
exaggerated spread wide). Lats should be open/flared to show a nice V-Taper. Toes must face
the judges, but competitors can angle their toes out SLIGHTLY if it helps to accentuate their
thigh presentation.
- From the front pose, competitors execute a ¼ turn to the right and adjust stance. Upper
body turned toward judges so the rear shoulder can be seen, but nothing exaggerated. Hips
must face side of the stage. Eyes must face side of the stage. Toes must face side of the
stage with both feet flat. The feet can be offset only half the distance of the foot (front or back
foot offset). Long hair should be pushed back behind the front shoulder so it doesn’t obscure
view. Front and rear hands must not be placed on the body, and should hang freely with
palms toward the body.
- From the Right Side Pose, competitors execute a ¼ turn to the right and face the back of the
stage. Both feet must be together or very close (heels within 2-3 inches of each other). Toes
cannot be spread wide apart. Feet cannot be offset to any degree (i.e., one in front of the
other). Competitors should brush their hair to one side so their back can be seen. Arms must
be at the sides with the hands hanging freely- palms toward the body. Lats spread wide to
show upper body symmetry.
- From the Rear Pose, competitors execute a ¼ turn to the right and adjust stance. Upper
body turned toward judges so the rear shoulder can be seen, but nothing exaggerated. Hips
must face side of the stage. Eyes must face side of the stage. Toes must face side of the
stage with both feet flat. The feet can be offset only half the distance of the foot (front or back
foot offset). Long hair should be pushed back behind the front shoulder so it doesn’t obscure
view. Front and rear hands must not be placed on the body, and should hang freely with
palms toward the body
- From the Left Side Pose, competitors execute a ¼ turn to the right to once again face the
judges.

Individual Round/Routine:
During pre-judging each Competitor will execute the Box Walk. The competitor will be judged
on Presentation and Poise. You will enter the stage from the right side and hit the first box
closest to you and hit 2-3 poses, move to the center stage, hit 2-3 poses, and then move to
the left side of the stage and hit 2-3 poses before being directed to your placement per the
Stage Expediter's instructions.

Group Comparisons:
Once all competitors have completed their individual rounds, the head judge will call random
competitor numbers of their choice to line up on center stage where quarter turn comparisons
will be performed. Upon completion of comparison round the head judge could call on
competitors to return to stage in order to ensure proper judging and placement.

Awards Presentation Format:
Competitors will be called to stage one by one to preform the I-Walk, where they will stop at
back center stage, strike 1-2 poses, take 4-5 paces to the center stage, hit 1-2 poses, and
proceed to line up on stage right/left or off stage based on the direction of the expediter until
each competitor has presented themselves. Expediter will then direct top 5 back on stage
after all competitors complete their I-Walk for the Awards Presentation.
