2020 NPC Wellness Division Rules and Scoring
Information from NPC News Online and Angel Competition Bikinis
This Article Will Cover:
Your Suit
☑ Wellness competitors must wear a two-piece suit.
☑ The bottoms cannot be a thong and the front cannot be too low.
☑ The suit top is the same standard as the bikini division top cut.
☑ The suit bottom must be V-shapes in the front and is traditionally made with all fabric and no connectors.
☑ The suit bottom sits high up on the hips.
☑ The suit bottom back is the same standard as the bikini division.
All styles of Angel Competition Bikinis Wellness suits have been acceptable at NPC sponsored competitions. The NPC advises competitors to bring 2 suits to check-in in the event that one of your suits is not acceptable. If your suit is deemed unacceptable at check ins, you will be scored down. Because of our high quality connectors, and perfected fit, if you have an Angel Competition Bikini you do not need a back up. Our suits will NOT break. If you are ordering The Micro or The Pro Cut, we strongly advise bringing a backup back cut. You may also wish to bring a back up if you would like to have a second color option on your show day. Angel Competition Bikinis Ships Tomorrow Suits make a great back up option.

COVID Safety
☑ You most likely will be required to wear a face mask at all times.
☑ Depending on the show promoter, you may be allowed to take your mask off when you are on stage.
We are so grateful that shows have started again and completely support whatever decision the show promoter makes! Be prepared to be flexible in the coming months and know that the show promoters are doing whatever possible to get you on stage. Thank you show promoters!!

Your Heels
☑ Wellness competitors must wear high heels.
The official NPC rules do not state that the heels must be clear, but most show promoters require this. We recommend ordering from The Shoe Fairy. The Shoe Fairy is the leading name in competition footwear that Angel Competition Bikinis loves. Like us, their quality, fit, and customer service is the best in their market. They offer a wide variety of styles to choose from and will personally help you pick out the perfect pair. Use code, "ACBIKINIS" to save 10% off at The Shoe Fairy.

Crossovers
☑ No Crossovers are allowed at National events.
If you are competing on the national stage, you are not allowed to cross over into another division at the same event. If you wish to cross over at a regional level competition, you will need to contact the show promoter to gain approval.

Memberships
☑ You must be a member of The NPC to compete.
The National Physique Committee is the premier amateur physique organization in the world. Since 1982, the top athletes in bodybuilding, fitness, figure, bikini and physique have started their careers in the NPC. Many of those athletes graduated to successful careers in the IFBB Professional League, a list that includes 24 Olympia and 38 Arnold Classic winners.

Comparison Round Rules
☑ All Wellness competitors in your class will be brought back on stage to be judged as a group.
You will be directed by the head judge to perform your front pose and back pose. You may be required to perform your front and back pose multiple times and hold your back pose for 10+ seconds. This should be considered when you are practicing your posing. It can be very difficult for an untrained athlete to hold their best back pose longer than 10 seconds.
NOTE: The NPC does not want to see the arm off to side with the elbow bent and the wrist bent upwards or downwards.

Scoring
☑ Wellness competitors are judged on the following:
1. Balance and Shape. The upper body is developed but not to the same degree as the lower body.
2. Overall physical package brought to the stage including skin tone, poise, complexion, and overall presentation.
Renee Jewett was one of the first Wellness Pro Card winners. Notice her exquisite shape, balance, and symmetry as well as her lower body mass compared to her upper body.
