NPC
NATIONAL EVENT COMPETITOR/ATTENDEE UPDATE
As
we all know, the NPC’s yearly national event schedule offers the highest
ranking and most competitive events of all the NPC’s annual competitions. It is extremely important that each and
every competitor and their support staff are properly prepared for their trip
to and performance at a national-level event. One of the considerations that, on behalf of the NPC I
personally strongly endorse and recommend, is that all competitors and
attendees stay at the event headquarters hotel, which usually is the site of
the competition itself and always is the site of registration, weigh- and
check-ins, judging clinics and all competition-related information
dissemination and credential issuance. Given the rigorous schedule of every national event – especially
with the new expansion, the addition of the Men’s & Women’s Physique
Divisions in 2011 – the need of all competitors to be on premises at all
times becomes more and more critical. It sometimes becomes necessary to change event schedules at the last
minute and this information is only disseminated at the headquarters
hotel. In addition, I have found
that competitors seem more properly prepared to compete when they have settled
into and stay at the location of the event as opposed to driving in to the
event location from other local areas. It is my feeling that being able to rest until the very time of
competition and not having to travel in any way to a competition site can be
helpful in having a good mental competitive attitude.
In
recent years, there have been many occasions where competitors were disqualified
because of event time changes or other last minute procedural alterations that
occurred between the weigh-in and the actual time of competition. Competitors staying at outside hotels
other than the event headquarters are put at a disadvantage in situations like
that. It is their responsibility
to be available to accommodate any schedule changes or other circumstances that
the NPC must administer during a national event.
Thank you for your
cooperation.
James B. Manion,
President
National
Physique Committee of the USA, Inc.
