+ 10 EBC Competition Rules
EBC Competition Rules
-Minimum Age to enter the EBC is 25yrs old. If at any time the EBC leadership or Admin has doubts about you being of minimum age your entry will be denied.
-If you are banned even for a temporary length at any time during the entry portion and up to the prize announcement you WILL be disqualified. There's too much money on the line to let douchebags be eligible.
-If at any time a competitor steps out of line in questioning the EBCs integrity there will be no second chances. No favors and no love. You're gone. Period.
-No arguing / bitching about judges decisions. We don’t mind constructive result discussion, but questioning integrity will not be tolerated. If admin feels you cross the line you will be banned from future competition.
-Soliciting Sources for sponsorship is unacceptable. Spamming/Soliciting Srcs looking for free handouts is cheap and is not viewed by EBC Leadership in good taste. Soliciting/Spamming is viewed on par with Promo Whoring. Should it be brought to any of our attention that this soliciting becomes an issue expect some consequences to come down from the Mods.
Sponsorship is allowed when the Src engages the member on their own volition. Sources may choose to do so because they have existing experience with the member as a customer or based on past EBC competitions results.
Below is the list of MANDATORY poses. Failure to cover a mandatory pose will result in disqualification. All poses must be in your pics. There are no second chances, so submit early to give yourself a chance to go back and fix it before the deadline passes. You may fix your entry pics up until the deadline. Do not wait until the last second and then realize you screwed up. I repeat, there are no second chances.
Pitcures MUST be submitted in the following order.
-Front Double Bicep
-Front lat spread
-Side chest (either)
-Side tricep (either)
-Back double bicep
-Back lat spread
-Abdominal/Thigh
-Most Musclular
-Relaxed Front
-Relaxed Back
-One or two final pics of you holding a current newspaper dated with the DATE you take the pictures. IF YOU POST PICS ON 3/9/19 THE NEWSPAPER MUST BE DATED 3/9/19. If you must, please post two pics to accurately capture the date and YOURSELF, please take a separate pic of the paper with the date clearly visible and a second pic of you holding the paper. This allows us to validate a correct timeline to ensure pics are current. This pic is critical to being compliant in your entry to the competition. Do everything possible to give us a clear pic of the date and you with it. Try and use a major publication like a USA Today or a Wall Street Journal so you do not give away your location. Using your city’s local paper is a dead give away of location. Please be secure about location if possible.
No doctoring of pictures whatsoever. Air brushing, photoshopping etc of your BODY will be found and you’ll be disqualified as a result. (This does not include your face. Never post your face in a picture on Eroids ever. If you post your face I’m disqualifying you for being STUPID) Due to the lack of sportsmanship involved by photoshopping your body, you may also be excluded from future EBCs.
For competitors with tattoos, you may use a cover up cream to conceal your tattoos. You must fully disclose this on your submission page. Failure to do so will result in forfeiture of your entry.
-Full body, head to toe in ALL SHOTS. Identical lighting and background for the opening and closing shots (if there is a legit reason why this is not possible Permission must be granted by the EBC leadership).
-Ensure that you submit all mandatory poses for BOTH start and finish pictures.
-You must submit all mandatory shots for both start and finish in same order listed above. This is to make the judging process more fluid and seamless.
-Post a brief yet precise description of your cycle
-Please list starting and ending weight and BF% if known. This will help the judging process be as accurate as possible. Don’t think about lying about weight or BF% if egregiously inaccurate you could risk disqualification.
Beginning on 3/9/19 at 0000hrs midnight PST the submission button will be active and members can start submitting their pics. The deadline for entry pics is on 3/16/19 @ 2359hrs PST. The competition will run a full 12 wks. You will have a 10 day window to submit your final pics starting at 0000hrs PST on 5/29/19. The deadline for final pics will be 6/8/19 @ 2359hrs PST.
Non-compliance with any of these rules will be justification for disqualification at anytime. All disqualifications are up to the discretion of the EBC Leadership.

Lol I just reread my reply to you and although I meant it as a general reply to all my apologies if it came across as directed at you.
I remember you competing before and totally agree with your points. Unfortunately you almost need to spell it out 100% to the point of nausea. So all I can say to the masses is post your pics as soon as the window for submissions opens. That way there’s plenty of time to fix anything. Do not wait until the last minute.
Why can't men just put a pasty on the head of their dick like women do on tits that's not fair. I want to show all my bulging veins no homo
Lol just kidding but you did just get a visual no homo
RustyhookerCoffee everywhere......lol
Awesome..getting closer to this thing it's great.. thanks Carlos and mak and everyone else who had a hand in this...so cool
Do we have to use tattoo cover up cream? And if we submit a side chest with also a side triceps will that dq?
You don't have to cover up your tats. Some people just feel they are more anonymous with them covered up. It is up to you.
Side chest is a completely different pose than side triceps. Need to submit both of them.
Good morning mak..i was wondering when we will know if it will be 1st through 3rd or 1st through 5th...Will that and the prize amounts be announced at the start of the comp of sooner???thanks bro hope all is well
Right now we are looking at a top ten prize structure with an emphasis on top 5 but with the pot that large even 10th place will have a good chunk of change. Details of that should be announced shortly.
Thank you to you and Carlos for keeping us all informed. This will be the best ebc yet.
Thanks bro that's great
Hope to have that out in the next couple of days. It has already been agreed that we will award prizes for 1-10. We are just waiting on final approval on the prize amount for each place. 100% though that there will be 1-10
That's so awesome I can wait..thanks man
Looks good brother. I'm gonna have hell explaining to my girl why I need her to take all these different pics of me in my drawers but I'm game.
What's the dress code for this event? I already have something in mind that is not quite posing trunks and not anything ridiculous. I just want to be sure I'm in compliance.
Tell her it's for your forum and can win 650 bucks to take her out on a really nice date
No way! Then I start the EBC -$650 lol. I asked her earlier and she's cool with it.
Well shit why would you tell her the real amount lol
That's true but considering we gotta place in the top 10 to actually win money, I'm not saying shit! There's been a team at my gym talking to me about competing for a while. I just don't feel like I'm there at all yet. This is somewhere I'm comfortable and feel better testing the water than jumping on stage for the first time. I don't expect to place but if I do then that's awesome. I'm just going to give it my best and treat it like I would a show prep (or atleast in my mind what it would be like) and let the cards fall where they may.
Your biggest hurdle is simply entering. You’d be surprised at what you can accomplish once you make the leap. The EBC has opened up doors for multiple members to real legitimate competitions. Glad to see you using the EBC as a test for yourself. Just remember there isn’t a pass or fail. Believe in yourself bro. That’s what I wish for all of you. If that’s all the competitors ever accomplish is to learn to believe in themsleves then my job has been accomplished.
what a motivational post, nice one bro.
Awesome response. +1
Thanks Carlos! I really appreciate the effort you guys are putting in to make this happen. Entering, losing all my body hair, learning how to pose and be comfortable enough to do it in these trunks, not to mention getting all the pics right....yikes! Your right, entering is a big one, but I got this. Thanks for the advice as well bro.
Lmao!! Going down to bare skin can be weird for sure. Especially if you’re naturally a hairy guy. Talk to some of the members who are active competitors. There may be some tricks to avoid getting razor bumps. When I’ve had to shave myself for tattoos some of them bumps hang around for a while
Right on bro best of luck
There are no rules on posing attire. We looked at this as basic common sense. The more you cover of your body the less the judges will be able to score you on. Take time and look through the old EBC threads and take a look at the complaint competitors. It will give you an idea of what has gone well for others in the past.
Not sure how many people have looked at the old EBC comps but if you haven’t you’re only hurting yourself

That makes sense. There is quite an array of different styles on the old threads. Just wanted to make sure that's still the same. This is something completely new to me as I have never done any kind of bodybuilding or physique competitions so I may be more on the conservative side to start out.
Pull out the speedo you always wear to the beach or pick up some classic physique posing trunks if you want to be more conservative. Just don't wear board shorts.
Jed North it is! Thanks Mak, the classic physique posing trunks are what I had in mind....I just hadn't put 2 and 2 together and figured out what to call them exactly.
RustyhookerThong. Go big or go home. Lol
Dominick77Thong Warriors.....Engage! lol
RustyhookerHelicopter olympics. Haha!!
I totally set myself up for that
RustyhookerHad to say it...i was lmao while typing that. Haha
lol !!!!!!
jayiskNeed to see those striations in the glutes...lol
nice way of saying they want to see your butt.., no homo...
Also in the front of pic make sure to have a partial chubby with your package...could help in scoring...
its all about the whole package..haha
RustyhookerHahaha!!! Oh jeeze. But ya if someone works that hard that glutes striate....post it. Thats hard as hell to do. Last time i had glutes striated i was 20. Lol
Good stuff Carlos. Counting down the days!
Oh snap. It’s about to get heated. So close!
