When judging, most organizations judge the athletes by who they think is 1st, 2nd., 3rd, etc often times looking for a specific look. However, in the Musclemania/Fitness Universe organization, judging is based on a particular criteria respective to the division. The judges DO NOT compare one athlete to another before marking their score. It is all based on how the competitor looks according to the judging criteria. Our way of judging produces a more fair result and makes it possible for anyone to win that can meet the standards of the judging curriculum.
