scoring....

and in most fitness comps you only need one suit, in some figure comps you need 2...

IFBB fitness is scored in 4 different rounds (1 min routine, 2 min routine, 1 piece, 2 piece) and figure has 2 rounds.

Fitness America is routine, 2 piece, and interview (for the top 5 only). Bikini America has sportswear and 2 piece only.

Last time I did NGA, we had 3 rounds in fitness and 2 rounds in figure (1 piece, 2 piece, and of course routine in fitness only).

Body conditioning seems to be equal as to what they are looking for when you compare fitness and figure.
