FAME FIGURE OVERVIEW

Figure is essentially a blend of bodybuilding and fitness for females

Compared to Bodybuilding:
It was designed for athletes who want to display their physique in a more feminine way - ie. not as dehydrated/striated as bodybuilders. Similar to bodybuilding, there is a posing & symmetry round. Unlike bodybuilding, all poses must be done open handed and while wearing high heels.

Compared to Fitness:  
Figure allows athletes more freedom in designing their routine as there are no required moves such as strength, flexibility, & endurance. Unlike Fitness, athletes are also not permitted to include inverted moves in their routine such as flips, cartwheels, handstands... Similar to Fitness, emphasis should also be placed on overall entertainment and creativity

Figure Divisions:
All regional events have an open division for Figure, meaning that athletes of all ages & levels can enter.  In an event where there are a lot of athletes, the group may be divided into 2 weight categories. 

The FAME Philippines Championships has only Open Division.  The Open divisions are 'open' to all athletes of all ages and levels. Athletes must qualify from a regional FAME World Events competition to compete in either the Pro or Advanced categories.
