Physique Council Wants to Put a Scoresheet Behind the Placing
An athlete-led judging standard for bodybuilding and physique competitions, paired with software that assigns scores to published criteria and gives competitors written feedback.
Field notes
The proposed system replaces a placing-only result with sixteen scored elements, published evaluation bands, and a scoresheet for every competitor. Judges are expected to lock their scores before panel discussion, while spoken comments can become athlete memos through the described LiveJudge software. Section 1.2 adds explicit caps for conditions including visible depletion, a distended midsection, and striations in a shape division. The homepage reports zero athletes signed on and zero stage appearances behind them.
