From:	Office of the Chairman IFBB Professional League
To:	All IFBB Professional Female Bodybuilders
Re:	2007 MS. OLYMPIA QUALIFYING CRITERIA

Article 4.5.5: In any year where there are less than three “open” women’s professional bodybuilding competitions (the term “open” is defined as competitions other than the Ms. Olympia and the Ms. International), the following qualifying criteria shall apply (otherwise Article 4.5.4 shall apply):

At the Ms. International, the top six finalists qualify for the Ms. Olympia. If any of the top six finalists are already qualified, up to a maximum of three previously unqualified athletes may also qualify. For example, if five of the top six finalists are already qualified, the remaining top-six finalist will qualify as well as 7th and 8th place.

At “open” competitions, the top three finalists qualify for the Ms. Olympia. If any of the top three finalists are already qualified, up to a maximum of three previously unqualified athletes may also qualify. For example, if the top finalist is already qualified, the remaining two top-three finalists will qualify as well as 4th place.

This decision took effect as of February 13, 2006.
