September 11 Update
Greetings,
I hope this update finds each of you doing well and training hard. I want to wish those athletes competing in the upcoming North American Championship the best of luck. The entire state is behind you 100%!
This update is going to hit on a few different topics, mostly I will speak towards questions I get on a regular basis.
I AM TWO WEEKS AWAY FROM COMPETITION AND I NEED TO PURCHASE MY NPC CARD WHAT DO I DO? Purchase the card from NPC Texas staff at weigh-in. If you have sent the money order or check in to NPC, you will need to provide proof that you have purchased a card.
I LOST MY NPC CARD ? As long as the card you lost is the one from the competition year your name remains on my master list and you do not need to physically present the card or place the registration number on the entry. However, if the card is not current your name will not appear on the list and you must purchase a new one at weigh-in.
HOW LONG IS MY NPC CARD GOOD FOR? The card is good only for the competition year it is purchase irregardless of the month in which you purchase it. Example if you purchased you card in May of 2006 it will expire on December 31, 2006.
WHERE DO I GET AN ENTRY FORM? Go to the contest section of our website, locate the contest, there may be a link to the contest site where you can download an entry form or you will find the promoters contact information whereby you can have an entry form sent to you.
I AM A NOVICE COMPETITOR CAN I COMPETE IN BOTH OPEN AND NOVICE IN THE SAME CONTEST? No, you must choose one or the other.
WHAT TIME WILL MY WEIGHT CLASS BE JUDGED? I, nor the promoter can give you a set time for your specific class. I can tell you we do our best to start the contest on time.
I SUBMITTED MY NUMBER FOR A CRITIQUE, BUT FOR WHATEVER REASON COULD NOT STAY TO SPEAK WITH A JUDGE, CAN YOU SEND ME A CRITIQUE? No, judges keep critiques for the contest date only. Afterwards they return to their real jobs. If you want to improve, you will find away to stay around like countless other do.
WHEN WILL THE CONTEST PLACING BE POSTED? We typically have them posted by the Tuesday following the contest.
WHY DID MY PLACING CHANGE FROM THE MORNING TO THE NIGHT? There may be a few reasons, but is most likely a change in your physique or in the physique of another competitor. Remember we are judging at night, so no placing is final until the trophies are presented.
I hope these Q&A’s help you in the future.
The Heart of Texas is quickly approaching and from what I understand Prince Harrison has a spectacular weekend of events planned, the contest will begin with pre-judging of figure and fitness on Friday September 29, 2006. The Gateway Classic is to follow Bernadette Galvan, IFBB Pro and her significant other Anthony Delagarza have put together a day to remember along the Rio Grande Border. Those of you who have not yet made your way to Laredo should do everything possible to catch this contest and enjoy some border flavor. Coming at the end of October we have the John Sherman Classic, which is always a BIG contest and appears to be shaping up to be BIGGER this year with the contest being moved to the new Reliant Center to accommodate the large number of competitors and fans. Don’t forget the Figure/Fitness Symposium to follow on Sunday morning after the contest. Then will finish the 2006 contest season of with the Lackland. For those of you who don’t know the Lackland is held annually as a way of supporting our troops sports and recreation center at the base, so please support this contest as they support our country daily!
I look forward to seeing each of you soon. Until next time...
Train hard and demonstrate sportsmanship always,
