CRAIG PRODUCTIONS LLC

I am addressing this because so many of you are calling and telling me the online registration won't let you enter both the open and the masters in your division, however some of you have sneaked through so you will be receiving a refund check in the mail.  At the Emerald Cup, or any Craig Productions event we only allow you to enter 1 division.  You need to choose whether you will be in the Open class or Master's class.  Yes at some shows you have competed at they have allowed you to do so.  This is purely a promoters decision.  Women have a unique situation in that they can enter a Bikini division, a Figure division, a Fitness division AND a Bodybuilding division if they so choose.  But they can't enter both the Master's and the Open division of those contests.  Why?  Because they are both sub-divisions of the same sport.  The key words are sub-divisions and sport.  Open & Masters are sub-divisions and Bodybuilding, Fitness, Figure & Bikini are sports. At the Emerald Cup for the men we only have the Emerald Cup Bodybuilding Open & Masters so men only have one choice.  You can also enter Mixed Pairs because it is considered a different sport.

At Craig Productions we do this because we feel it makes the show run much better and makes it more exciting.  Sure we would make more money because you would have to pay for 2 entries but that is not what we are about.  We are about running the best show that we possibly can and providing every athlete with the best competition experience that we possibly can!  So...you have to make a choice.
