ICN COMPETITOR INFORMATION

You are responsible
Drug testing performance enhancing substances at ICompete Natural events is conducted via WADA standard urine analysis at international labs. Over the past 3 years approx. 80% of our positive contest day tests have occurred because of banned ingredients in USA supplements taken on event day. As a general rule, don’t take any supplement 3 days prior to the competition. This will avoid an inadvertent positive test from a substance only banned “in competition” which is mostly the problem we see with pre-workouts supplements. When selected for drug testing please follow the official to the test area (located in another area of the venue). Let the official know if you are competing again soon, we will let you prepare and compete first.

With the successful development of ICN events by removing posing routines from the show format, we now have time available for competitors to compete in multiple divisions in your selected category up to a maximum of eight (8) Divisions.
Please note: Please read and check the division’s qualifications and category rules.

First Timer

Never Competed

First Timer means you have never competed before in any federation — ever. This is your first contest. You may enter multiple First Timer divisions within your chosen category in your first contest.

First Timer does not mean this is your first time competing in a specific division. Do not enter a First Timer division if you have competed previously in any federation.

Rookie

First Year

Rookie refers to your first year of competing in a specific category. A competitive year consists of two seasons. An athlete is considered a Rookie for two consecutive seasons (Season A and B, or Season B and A).

Rookie status resets when an athlete changes categories.

Novice

Haven’t Won Open

Entry is eligible to competitors who have not won (placed first) in an Open Division within a category, including an Open Height Class, at any level of competition (state, regional, national, or international).

If you have won an Open Division in a category at any level, you are no longer eligible to enter a Novice division in that category. Novice divisions are intended for athletes early in their competitive careers or still developing their physique.

Open

Highest Amateur Level

Open Divisions represent the highest level of amateur competition within a category. Entry into an Open Division is required for eligibility toward Overall Titles and progression toward ICN Pro status.

Open to all eligible athletes. Usually the deepest and most competitive line-ups and the primary pathway to professional status.

This chart shows which categories can be combined in the same competition. Gold squares with “APPROVED CROSSOVER” logos indicate approved crossovers.

Crossover Eligibility

Important: A crossover may only be completed with one additional category.

Athletes cannot cross over into more than two categories total.

This means:

• You may compete in your primary category, and
• One additional eligible crossover category only

You must choose one or the other if multiple crossover category options are available.
