AFFILIATION
Participants must be members of the national federation in their country of origin or hold a license from the FCPAQ for the 1st World Outgames competition in 2006. Participants will be required to provide proof of membership in an IFBB-affiliated federation at registration.

For non-members, a temporary affiliation will be available at registration for a fee of $20 CAD. This fee is subject to change according to the policies of the FCPAQ.

POLICY ON TRANSITIONED AND TRANSGENDER ATHLETES
The objective of the 1st World Outgames in this regard is to provide an experience where all athletes are able to compete in a safe and welcoming environment, without discrimination of any kind. Our priority is to find the appropriate balance to ensure that no person, regardless of their birth gender, is disadvantaged in athletic competition and at the same time that no person participating in the Outgames experiences discrimination.

GLISA and the 1st World Outgames have collaborated so as to develop a policy that reflects this balance. We encourage all participants, especially those who have identified themselves as ‘transgender’ in the registration process, to become familiar with this policy.

COMPETITION FORMAT

To obtain official rules for these categories, please read the document entitled “IFBB Amateur Rules for BODY FITNESS” on the official IFBB website.

Participants may register in one division only.
