We have been asked by the CBBF to post this on our site:

Changes as of the 2011 BCABBA AGM

At the BCABBA AGM, the members motioned and voted on increasing the late entry fee to $200. They also motioned and voted on requiring all athletes to be entered by one week before all BCABBA events. Both motions carried.

Beginning in 2012, the late entry fee will become $200 on top of the regular entry and no one will be able to enter the show after the one week out deadline.

Men's and Women's Physique will be added to our shows beginning in 2012. For 2012 ONLY, these two divisions will be open events at the BC Provincials, so anyone may enter in order for BC to have a strong team to go on to Nationals. After the 2012 BC Provincials, the Physique divisions will enter the tier system requirements along with bodybuilding, fitness, figure and bikini.

Information about these new categories can be found on the CBBF website.
