Where are the judging criteria published for bodybuilding contests?

Lol. How and why do such people have any credibility and authority in BB?  At least Weider used to train and we have seen the pix to prove it.  Ditto for Steve W.  Are there really judges with no history of personal bodybuilding?

Chris Dickerson said it best when he suggested that the criteria for judging be announced before each show so that everyone, the spectators, competitors AND judges are reminded of what is important and what isn't.

How can you publish something that doesn't exist

[Firemuscle]

 Sponsorships, supplement contracts, popularity, the projected future of the bodybuilder, business, cash.

 Physique..... not quite as important. As long as they are huge and ripped and are a cash cow, they'll win.
