Next Nationals in Alberta ! Ok !! ...
Now i know why Ron told me he skip this year ! :welldone
It's better to not have to trip too much to compete, better for the body.
What is the difference between these 2 competitions relating to Men's open bodybuilding?

The elite bodybuilding championships is an under and over 202 class with overall getting procard. Nationals is weight classes with overall getting procard. Elite is more difficult to qualify for..(top 3 at nationals the year or two prior and all past class winners at Nationals)
Only top national level bodybuilders (winners) of previous years will be eligible for the elite division. Here was an announcement for the 2011 showQuote:

There will be 2 classes available to enter, Under 202 and Over 202, with the overall champion getting his IFBB Pro Card. This is going to be a unique event for Canadian amateur bodybuilding and promises to be very exciting.The field will be exclusive and only the top bodybuilders in Canada will be invited and eligible to compete.
The men's elite competition is new for 2011. The top Canadian national bodybuilders from previous years have received invites to compete against each other in this exclusive event.
Directly from the CBBF President Mark Smishek
The Elite Division in 2011, which took place at the Bik/Fig/Fit event was
for two classes, Up to 202 lbs and Over 202 lbs.
It was open to past national winners, only.
The Elite Division in 2012 qualifications has yet to be determined.
For those that have inquired about the Physique Division, here is the response.
We will be judging at the N.A.'s Championships, next weekend, in Cleveland,
Ohio, the Physique Division.
Will determine at the N.A.'s whether to add to our 2012 events.
So Physique Division is a possibility for 2012. I figure if it has a good turnout in at the North American's, it would be logical to include it in the CBBF.
As for the Elite division, qualification is still undecided, but the timing of the events is MUCH MUCH BETTER this year so it should have a good turnout.
So the non elite men's contest; will pro cards be awarded there still? Or is that a stepping stone to get to elite level in order to earn pro card?Quote:

Oh no, the regular CBBF Bodybuilding Nationals on the 18th will still have pro cards awarded. The elite division this year was an EXTRA pro card awarded.
I think we will see the physique division in Canada very shortly.Quote:

Please note that the Naturals have changed to April 28th from April 7th.
is a competitor who is 21 on the competition date eligible to compete in junior division for this event or do you need to be under 21?
No you would not be eligible. You must be under 21 the day of the show.Quote:

Commencing January 1st 2012, the upper age limit for juniors at the IFBB World Championships Qualifier will be 23 years old during the year of competition.
For the North Americans and other CBBF national events (other than the previously mentioned IFBB World Championships events) the age limit shall remain at 21 years old during the year of competition, until further notice.
Anyone knows when CBBF will be releasing the info packages for Canadian Nationals
thanks
