We reserve the right to ask for proof before they can collect a prize. They might be asked to hold up a magazine with a current date or a card that says "Getbig."

Almost everyone that has entered is competing in the Mr.Natural Getbig.

Not all though.

It's important to hear what the competitors think.

JJ wants to make it strict.

this is not a problem for oliver, since he opened up the door to anyone outside of getbig anyway

he could care less if theyre who they say they are, or even getbiggers.

well you  have guys who have made their self know like 240, goudy, TA, bast, etc it's just my opinion that it should be one of the criteria for entering this contest. otherwise you're going to have some whack jobs screwing it all up :-\

That's why we need to decide whether to shorten the deadline further. We won't have whack jobs, but we could have some "ringers" entering last minute.

It's just not exciting awarding someone with a blank face all those prizes.

There are major prizes here. Too many to remember. Go here though to see www.mrgetbig.com IFBB pros judging, and the possibility of magazine coverage.

Judging blank faces takes the steam out of it. Besides, they don't do that at the Mr.O.

This isn't the Mr. O. This is an internet body contest.

It is, and that's the way we are going to run it.

If you don't compete, you're one less person the other competitors will have to battle against for the prize placings - all the way down to 5th place.

Not posts, because ANYONE can run up their count.

I've been here 3 years, and barely hit 4,000. I know some people who have been here 3 months tops, and have 5,000+.

solution - gordiano - maybe wear a pair of sunglasses and a wig ala beastie boys sabotage video?

Or a cool mask of some sort.

And as always, oliver has final call, i just like to toss 2 cents in to solve probs that come up.
Title: Re: Opinions on the MR.GETBIG 2006 deadline..............
Post by: Bluto on July 19, 2006, 02:40:42 PM
yeah a mask.

and those boots lee priest wore

that would be awesome!
Title: Re: Opinions on the MR.GETBIG 2006 deadline..............
Post by: Oliver Klaushof on July 19, 2006, 02:41:13 PM
No mask. Glasses or a wig are fine though.

7/1/06 is the cutoff now.

I agree with the date you registered, I am on here almost every day(I find you all infinitely entertaining) but I rarely post.  I am not planning on entering as I am not even close to being ready(comming off 6 month lay off.)  I wouldn't want some one in my situation to not be eligible.

Considering the legal climate in this country(USA) would it be acceptable for the contestants in the open category to cover their face?

It's called Mr.Getbig, like Mr.Olympia.

The other class is Mr.Natural Getbig - just meaning you didn't take pro-hormones or anything like that back when they were legal.

Get creative, guys!!!  If you don't want your identity known, have some fun with it!!  Buy an afro wig and some ugly ass glasses!    Get some temporary red hair dye and put black war paint under your eyes.   

We don't want anyones' bosses knowing they use, but at the same time, we don't want a contest where every contestant has a blurred face- just not fun. 

So get creative with it!  You can easily come up with ways to be distinguishable in pics, but at the same time stay unknown.  Worst case, a hat and sunglasses will disguise most.  ollie gets the final vote as always.

That's good. It's important to find a compromise. Just no full face mask.
