WHAT INTERNATIONAL CONTEST IS OFFICIAL AND WHAT CONTEST IS NOT OFFICIAL?

OFFICIAL INTERNATIONAL CONTESTS.

If You will address to any Olympic Committee or Sport Ministry, then any of You will get a plain answer - official Internetional contests are the folowing ones:

-          Olympic Games

-          World Championship and World Cup

-          Continent Championship or Cup (America, Europe, Asia etc..).

Every officially working International Sport Federation follow the above statement.

OFFICIAL NATIONAL CONTESTS

Official National Contests are:

Annual National Championship and National Cup.

SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS TO WFF-WBBF INTERNATIONAL CONTEST ORGANIZERS.

Three specific requirements of the WFF-WBBF International  should be followed:

1.     officially appointed group of the International secretaries (including a professional photographer) must work at any official contest 2.     at least 5 Internationally Certified Judges must work at any official contest. International Judges Certificates are given to any National Judge after attending the annual International Judges Seminar.3.     The organizer of any official contest must solve the question of covering expences of International secretaries and International judges that must be present at a definite official event4.     Any International contest that does not cover these 3 above requirements can not be official from the point of view of the WFF-WBBF International.

WFF-WBBF INTERNATIONAL OFFICIAL CONTESTS

In difference to most so called „International bodybuilding federations“ the WFF-WBBF International does it‘s best to work as any official federation of any sport. „various „festivals“, „weekends“, „classics“, „nights of champions“, „variety shows“ never were WFF-WBBF official contests as it is among other „federations“.

The 50 years lasting history of the WFF-WBBF federation is highly connected with „Amber Prix International“ which served as the unofficial World Champiomnship of over 20 socialist countries for nearly 30 years. It was recognized by the Ministry of Sport of the USSR (1989). This is the reason the „Amber Prix International“ is included to the WFF-WBBF official contests. Also bodybuilding is not an Olympic kind of sport. This is the reason that the WFF-WBBF counts the status of the „Universe“  contest equal to the World Championship.

In 2018 about 60 contests are organized under the WFF-WBBF name in various countries. For example: 12 contests in Russia (most of them are International), 8 contests in Belorussia (4 of them International), 2 in Poland, 6 in Brazil, 2 in Paraguay etc... These contests are not folowing the specific requirements of the WFF-WBBF International official contest.
