Announcement Concerning Music


Please note that music containing profanity will NOT be allowed or tolerated during routines at any NSABBA contest. As the contest IS a family show, consequences of doing this will be more severe now. Any athlete that disobeys this rule and is found to have profanity in their music routine will be IMMEDIATELY DISQUALIFIED. No exceptions.


Important Info for Figure & Fitness Athletes ONLY


For individual poses competitors will walk to centre stage and perform quarter turns the same as in a line up for comparisons. However, it will be without the instruction of the head judge, and they will be allowed to bend one knee during side poses as well as look at the audience during the front and side poses. One hand may be on hip for individual walk-on pose, however, not during comparison posing.

Comparison poses will remain unchanged from past posing rules (directed by the head judge, knees together, eyes in the direction they are facing).
