One guy, two pro cards?
« on: August 30, 2008, 07:35:21 PM »
In response to numerous Pm's and emails I've received..

Apparently, the same guy won the Masters and Overall N.A. championships, here's how it works (as far as I know)

It wouldn't matter if the same guy won 3 "pro cards" in one night....you're not a pro until you win a pro-qualifyer...AND...submit to be accepted as a pro, which entails a letter requesting the IFBB recognize and accept you into the club.

Chick, I want to send in my "letter" requesting Pro Status, can you please furnish me the IFBB's address.

Thanks in advance.

The IFBB is kind of a pick and choose thing, isn't it? Lee Priest won Mr.Australia 3 times I believe and they wouldn't let him in because he's too young. If I was to win Mr.Canada at say 25 years old, would they grant me a pro card indefinitely?

Well, actually I was hoping to do what Milos did, just send in an 8x10 to Ben and ask for "Pro" status.

If they did it for Milos in 1990, why not for me today  :D

Depends on where and what IFBB affiliate you're under...it's gets confusing when it comes to the European shows, Canada, EFBB, etc..... in the states, it's pretty cut and dry.

They shouldn't award pro status to competitors over the age of 40. It's not the Senior PGA.

No one comes to the US to try and turn pro, you can only earn a pro card in the US if you are American, it's been that way for years. Is why the pro ranks are majority American, as majority of cards available are for Americans, worldwide it's all sorts of rules and weird things.

yeah but he beat guys in the open so it means he is still good enough.

Even if the whole show was pretty weak caliber for a national show

Club sounds horrible, dude. Say federation, or association. C'mon, it's not like the Fraternal Order of Moose, or the Shriner's for God's sake.......
