NPC Rules

Bikini Competitor Information

Two Piece Swimsuit:  The judges will be scoring by assessing balance, shape and overall physical appearance including complexion, skin tone, poise, and overall presentation.

Eligibility

Each competitor must be currently registered with the NPC and to meet this requirement, he/she must present his/her current NPC card, current NPC receipt, or purchase an NPC card at the competition ($120).  Each competitor must be an amateur in good standing with the NPC. 

OPEN DIVISIONS: Open to all NPC Eligible competitors regardless of

MASTER'S CLASSES (35+):  Each competitor in these divisions must have reached the age of the class entered by the date of the competition (i.e. their 35th birthday, and must present proof of age with birth certificate, driver's license or state ID.

TRUE NOVICE CLASSES: True Novice divisions and classes are open only to competitor who have not previously competed in a physique sport competition.  Any competitor found to have previously competed will be disqualified.  Class breakdowns will be based upon number of registered competitors in each division.

Height Classes

Additional Rules

Height classes will be formed based upon National level height regulations.  Final height and numbers of height classes determined at registration.  There are typically 6 height classes A through F.  I've been at shows with as little as 3 height classes.

  • Bikini A:  up to & including 5'1"
  • Bikini B:  Over 5'1" up to & including 5'2 1/2 inch
  • Bikini C:  Over 5'2 1/2 up to & including 5'4"

  • Bikini E: Over 5'5 1/2 inch up to & including 5'7"
  • Bikini F: Over 5'7"
Suits must be cut according to NPC rules, minimum of 50% glute coverage and not too low in front, athletes can face disqualification if an inappropriate suit is worn, alternative suit suggested.  Jewelry may be worn.

Pre-judging

The contestants will present front and back poses with hand on hip, as a group finishing facing the judges, then return to the stage for their individual routine of 10-15 seconds and group comparisons/ half turns, wearing a two-piece swimsuit according to NPC rules (50% minimum glute coverage, no thongs permitted) and high heels.  Jewelry is allowed.  No lewd acts permitted on stage.

Evening/Finals:  Same as pre-juding (typically goes a lot faster)
