The information below outlines competitor's poses for each round.
Round 1 - Symmetry
Athletes will perform the 4 mandatory quarter turns:
1. Face Front
Heels must be together and in line, without either foot ahead of the other.
Hips MUST face the judges and arms must remain to the sides (although they shouldn't touch the sides or be exaggerated spread wide)
Lats should be open/flared to show a nice V-Taper
Toes must face the judges, but competitors can angle their toes out slightly if it helps to accentuate their quad presentation
2. Side Pose
From the front pose, competitors execute a ¼ turn to the right and adjust stance:
Upper body turned 35 degrees toward judges so the rear shoulder can be seen
Hips must face side of the stage
Eyes must face side of the stage
Toes must face side of the stage with both feet flat. The feet can be offset only half the distance of the foot (front or back foot offset)
Long hair should be pushed back behind the front shoulder so it doesn't obscure view
Front and rear hands should hang freely with palms toward the body
3. Face Rear
From the side pose, competitors execute a ¼ turn to the right and face the curtain or rear of the stage
Both feet must be together or very close
Toes cannot be spread wide apart
Feet cannot be offset to any degree (i.e., one in front of the other)
Competitors should brush their hair to one side so their back can be seen.
Arms must be at the sides with the hands hanging freely.
Round 2 - Muscle Tone
Athletes will be asked to perform an I-Walk.
The I-Walk is the competitor's opportunity to show athleticism and confidence.
The I-Walk will consist of a pose of the athlete's choice at the rear centre stage and a walk to the center front.
The competitor will then present their four quarter turns and exit through the right side of the stage (the same way they entered)
Requirements:
Poses should not be held for more than 3 seconds each
35 seconds is the maximum time allocated for the I-Walk
The I-Walk will be done to music selected by WNBF Australia
Poses should present an athletic aesthetic and not be too "Bodybuilding" oriented
Overall stage presence – judges will assess competitor's ability to confidently and seamlessly execute quarter turns within a stage walk
