IDFA 143 Athletes Information and Check-in

Athletes Day of Show Information

>>> See CHECK IN PROCESS BELOW <<<

I want to welcome you to the 15th annual IDFA 143: UNIVERSE Natural Bodybuilding Championships.   You should be very proud of yourself for not only making it to the stage but also doing it naturally.  I have talked to most of you on email and / or social media but let me introduce myself.  My name is Shaun Campbell and through my passion of competing naturally I started up the IDFA back in 2005.  Without athletes like you these shows wouldn’t be taking place. I appreciate all your support and belief in the IDFA. Whether you have been competing in the IDFA for years or are new to the sport your support means a lot.

The show is going to run smoothly and be as stress free as possible.  All of your hard work and sacrifice is over.  This is your day to take it all in and shine on stage.  It takes a special, or crazy lol, person to make it to the stage.  There is nothing left to do other than show off your hard work.  Enjoy every moment on stage.

The show will start with the Transformation Challenge.  There are 12 athletes in this division so I have decided to divide it up evenly into 2 groups.  I may divide it up as Men and Women, or Over 40 and Under 40.  I will let you know later today.   We will do the first Group of the Transformation Challenge at the very beginning of the show, and the second group after the Masters division.  Athletes in this division can click here for a better explanation of what to expect.   We will do all athletes before photos and stories, followed by the athlete on stage as the AFTER.  Then we will announce the winner right away.   This is truly one of those divisions where everyone is a winner.

The backstage will be open to the athletes at 1:00 pm on Saturday (day of show). You will enter at the side door which is called backstage door or performers entrance.  If you wish to have someone come backstage with you as a helper or coach they will require a ticket.  Once they purchase a ticket we will give them a wrist band that combined with a ticket gives them access to the backstage.  The only people backstage without tickets / wrist bands are the athletes and volunteers.  Anyone else backstage will require proof of a ticket.

Check-in Process:

The Athletes Check-in will be on Friday, December 6 from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm at the Courtyard Marriott, 7015 Century Ave, Mississauga, ON in the Century Room.  This is set up as a walk in registration.  Come anytime between 6:00 pm and 8:00 pm.   All the information you need is above in the Athletes Day of Show Information section ABOVE.

Next you will pick up an IDFA Tote bag,official IDFA Tee and an IDFA wrist band as well.

Novice Bikini Athletes will have to have their height checked as we will have Short and Tall in Novice Bikini. We will divide it up evenly after all of the athletes heights are confirmed.
