Please note that the IFBB Pro Show and every other pro show in 2008 has an entry deadline of aprox 6 weeks before the contest to indicate that you will compete in it.
Do not forget or tell your pro friend about these deadlines, otherwise they will be surprised when they try to enter later on closer to the show, but they wont be able to.
For the Ironman Pro, the deadline is January 4th, 2008!
For the Australian Pro, the deadline is January 2th, 2008
For the New Zealand Pro, the deadline is February 1st, 2008.
