Rules & Info
Please Note: There is no separate membership application for the NSABBA now. Membership is rolled into one and obtained the same time you enter a provincial show. The one exception to this is if you require an active NSABBA membership in order to enter a national event. In this case contact us directly.
NSABBA sanctioned contests are open to PERMANENT Atlantic Provice residents only (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland & Labrador.) Those temporarily residing in an Atlantic Province for school, for example, are not eligible.
For provincial level contests, we use our NSABBA rule sets directly below. Exception might include dropping or merging certain classes due to athlete counts.
Also below are mini-posters of the mandatory poses for each class:
The IFBB rules cover a broader range and may include classes that we don't offer yet. They are here for information purposes only - please use NSABBA rules first. Also, please note the class name differences within the IFBB rulebooks. (ie. Body Fitness = Figure, Bikini Fitness = Bikini)
Funding for National Shows
Athletic funding is available for NSABBA athletes to assist with the financial burdens with competitions. We offer funding for IFBB/CBBF/NSABBA sanctioned events only (which generally applies to CBBF national events).
Please visit the [ Funding Application Page ] in order to apply.
Remember - Requests for funding must be received by the Executive committee 30 days prior to the National / International Event
Membership
Membership is included in the registration of a NS based contest (NS Provincials or NS Novice ECC), however, to compete in a non NSABBA (but CBBF sanctioned) event, you must be an active NSABBA member.
So again, you DO NOT NEED to purchase a membership for any NSABBA sanctioned show in the province. It is included with registration.
