The first and hopefully annual Mr. Get Big “on-line” bodybuilding competition is underway! Below you’ll find information on dates, judging, rules, prizes, etc. Please take a moment to carefully read through everything.
The Contest:
The contest will take place
Saturday September, 23 (one week before the 2006 Olympia). On that day all contestants’ photographs will be posted on
www.mrgetbig.com. The judges, the competitors and the spectators will all get to see the photographs at the same time. You will have an ability to drag and drop pics so that you may compare individuals. It is from these pics, that the judges will decide the placings taking into consideration symmetry, size, condition, presentation, etc.
Judging:
Judges will be asked to rank each contestant 1st through last for each of the poses. All judges’ scores will then be added and averaged to have one score for each contestant. The competitor with the lowest score (most #1 votes) will be the winner.
Judges will submit their scorecards by Monday Sep. 23rd, 2pm (PST). The results will be announced the following day, Tuesday, Sep. 26th by noon (PST).
The judges’ scorecards will be posted.
The judges will represent a cross section of GetBig members with a long history in the sport. All will have experience competing and/or judging. None will be anonymous to either Ron or Mindspin.
There are two open weight categories:
-Mr. GetBig
-Mr. Natural GetBig
*Anabolic steroids, growth hormone, insulin, diuretics, pro-hormones, clenbuterol, thyroid drugs and/or any other type of illegal ergogenic drugs are not to have been used for a minimum of one year prior to 9/23/06.
*There will be no formal drug test. We’ll be going by the honor system.
The winners of each class will be eligible for the overall, which will be
decided by GetBig members. All blue-star and four-star+ members will have one hour, after results have been posted, to vote for who they think should take the overall. A “
Vote for the overall winner” thread will be started. All you’ll have to do is post your pick’s name.
Submission Instructions:The contest is open to all male Get Big members who have been registered since January, 2006 or who have at least 100 posts by Sep 23rd.
Please send clear full body digital pictures of yourself, including face (you can wear glasses, wig, etc.), performing each of the mandatory poses including:
-Front Relaxed
-Left or Right Side Relaxed
-Back Relaxed
-Front Double Biceps
-Rear Double Biceps
-Front Lat Spread
-Rear Lat Spread
-Side Triceps
-Side Chest
-Abdominal/Thigh
-Most Muscular
-“Lights Out” pose. This is your signature pose in which you feel you look the best.
You should prepare as though you are doing a real show i.e. wear posing trunks, tan, use coloring, oil, etc. All photographs need to show you from top to bottom and should be taken in normal room lighting. Please make sure you have a solid color white background. This will be helpful for the judges when doing comparisons. Fuzzy cell phone pics, weird angles, poor lighting, too bright, too dark and over shadowy pics will all count against you. Try to have someone else take your pics.
Remember, part of the judging criteria is “presentation”. You may have the best physique, but if you submit a crappy pic of your butt-white-hairy-self, don’t expect to do well.
The photographs must be taken sometime during the week of Sep 18th and submitted by Thursday Sep 21st!! Please include one pic holding a USA Today newspaper, to validate the date. Pics taken before Sep. 18th will not count. We recommend taking and submitting some practice poses ASAP to see if they are suitable. If they are not, we can give you some suggestions on how to improve them.
Optional video posing routine:
If you have the ability to submit a video of a posing routine do so! It will not help or hurt your chances, but we may have a “best poser” award, which is also decided by blue-star and four-star+ GetBig members.
