Crab-Down
You’ve heard of a pose down, now it’s time for the first-ever Crab-Down!

In honor of our fallen brother John Yobst, we are offering a division dedicated to him and his favorite pose, the Crab Most Muscular. John was the coach of Team Lean, OCB Head Judge, veteran bodybuilder, and a good friend. If you’ve ever been to a New England Bodybuilding show, he was the loud guy!

The class will be run similar to prejudging, but only the Crab Most Muscular pose will be utilized, followed by a Crab Pose Down to music. Classic Physique competitors and Bodybuilders can both enter. Placements 1–5.

Contact the promoter to enter the Crab-Down.

DEBUT ELIGIBILITY: First competition ever. Competitors cannot have ever competed in any category with any organization.

NOVICE ELIGIBILITY: Cannot have placed first in any class (besides Teen), within any division, within any category, with any organization, except in cases where first place was won in a class that had only one competitor.

When more than one class exists in a division, classes are formed by dividing competitors evenly by height. These divisions will be determined after all registration entries have been received.

Classes

A roster with assigned competitor numbers and class breakdowns will be emailed to competitors approximately one week before the show. This information will not be available until after all of the registrations are in and the promoter has had time to sort the classes.

Entering More than One Division (Crossover Entries)

A crossover entry is entering more than one division within a category. For example, someone may enter the Novice division, if eligible, and also elect to crossover into the Open division and compete in it as well. Competitors may not participate in more than one category (Bikini, Figure, Wellness, Physique, Bodybuilding, Classic Physique) at any given show.

Awards

The top 5 in every class will receive awards.
