Mid-Atlantic LeatherSIR & Leatherboy 2007 contest categories and rules:

The Mid-Atlantic LeatherSIR and Leatherboy 2007 contest is broken up into four (4) categories. Each is judged separately by the judging panel in an olympic scoring system. There are seven judges on the panel. The highest and lowest score in each category is discarded and the remaining scores tallied. The scores in each of the four categories is then added together to acquire the grand total. There are a total of 1000 points available in the olympic scoring system after the highest and lowest scores have been removed in each category. In the event of a tie, the raw scores will be used (all of the scores are re-tallied without the removal of the highest and lowest scores).

The four judged categories and scoring possibilities are as follows:

Category

Points per Judge

Description and Rules

Interview

Each contestant will meet with the judging panel offstage on Saturday morning prior to the contest to answer the judges’ questions about the contestant’s interest in leather, BDSM and fetishes, knowledge, and willingness and ability to represent the title.

Physique / Jockstrap

Fantasy

Each contestant will perform an onstage leather sexual fantasy that conforms to the region’s assigned “theme.” The onstage Fantasy shall be no longer than five (5) minutes. Points will be deducted from the over-all sum olympic score if the contestant exceeds the five minute time limit. The deduction is three points per second over the five minute time limit to a maximum of 300 points.

Local and regaional laws require that no person shall show any genetal or anal area in public. While it is encouraged to illude to sexual acts, no actual sexual contact of any kind is permitted during the contest. Contestants that violate this rule will automatically be disqualified from the contest and asked to vacate the establishment.

Each region within the ILSb circuit is assigned a theme for the fantasy portion of the competition. All contestants MUST utilize this theme. Failure to follow the regional theme will cause each judge to auto-matically deduct points at his or her disgression. The regional theme for the Mid-Atlantic region for the contest year of 2007 is "Head Space". This is defined as:

Humiliation, puppy play, pony play, dog training, mind control, hypnotism play, or
anything else that puts the submissive in an alterred state of mind.

NOTE: "puppy" play, "dog training" and "pony" play are terms that refer to a human being that is acting out the role of the associated animal and taking on the personna thereof (such as a "dog" obeying and trying to please its master). They are NOT associated with beastiality in any way.
