Stage presentation is vital with all divisions. In the end you are judged on how good you look onstage, not how good you actually look.
No matter how good your physique is if you do not display it well, you will not look your best. Naturally you actually need a good physique to begin with, but the better you present yourself the better you will look.
Consider this - we all have genetic limitations. Some of us cannot be 250lbs/120kg, some cannot have large calves, some don't have perfectly spaced abs. However our standard of presentation has no limitations at all. Everyone can have top level presentation - all it takes is knowledge, practice, effort - and yes money.
Good posing hide flaws, bad posing highlights them. A competitor with bodyhair, poor tan and incorrect oil will look less conditioned than they actually are, while the competitor that mastered those things will look far more conditioned than they really are. You have spent years and months training for the show, be sure to take a small amount of time to present yourself in the best possible manner.
