THE GAMES SEASON

  • The Open is the first step in the 2013 CrossFit Games season and takes place March 6 to April 7. Every Wednesday, an Open workout will be posted. Everyone then has until that Sunday to complete the workout. Athletes have the choice of competing at a participating CrossFit affiliate, or submitting a videotape of their performance to the Games website. The Open will consist of five workouts over five weeks.
  • At the end of the five weeks, the Open’s top athletes in each region will move on to the the second stage of the competition — Regionals. Each of the 17 Regionals will be a three-day competition where individuals compete head to head with judges. At the end of the weekend, no more than three men and three women will advance to the final stage of the competition — the CrossFit Games. Our Regionals, the South East Regionals, are usually in April or May.
  • The Reebok CrossFit Games are the ultimate test of fitness. The Games are a grueling multi-day, multi-event competition to determine the Fittest on Earth. Fitness means being ready for the unknown and unknowable, so the workouts change every year and are not announced until just before the events start. For the fourth consecutive year, the CrossFit Games will be held at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California. This year the dates are July 26-28.

REGISTERED ATHLETES
The Open WODS are posted on Wednesday of each week. We will host the Open WOD on Saturday each week (with the exception of the first week) for members and visitors, unless otherwise noted.

  • Week 1 – Thursday, March 7 at 12:15 and 7:00 p.m.
  • Week 2 – Saturday, March 16
  • Week 3 – Saturday, March 23
  • Week 4 – Saturday, March 30
  • Week 5 – Saturday, April 6

Workout Format – Athletes will go in the order they arrive (first come first served). Athletes are responsible for warming up on their own before class. We will review the WOD and the movement standards with all athletes. Only certified judges will be allowed to judge athletes; therefore, the number of athletes that can perform the workout at a time will depend on how many judges we have available. If you are interested in judging, let us know. The first group of athletes will start 10 minutes after the WOD and movement standards explanation. In addition to the explanations that all athletes will receive, each judge will review the standards with the athletes they are judging and and ask the athlete to perform at least one rep of each movement to assess the athlete’s ROM and understanding of the standards. We have scorecards for each athlete that we will keep for our records and provide each athlete their results on a sticky note.

Accommodations – We will try our best to accommodate those who cannot attend the posted times for a particular week. Contact us to schedule an appointment. In the event that you have a time constraint, please notify us ahead of time so we can attempt to accommodate you. But please do not abuse this courtesy.

Result Submission – Athletes are responsible for submitting their results online at Games.CrossFit.com by the deadline on Sunday each week. However we recommend you submit your result as soon as possible. After an athlete submits their result, Coach Jennie (affiliate manager) will receive notification and will then approve or deny the result. If you have any questions or concerns about the validation process, call or text Coach Jennie on her cell phone. She will also make sure she has each athlete’s cell phone number just in case she needs to contact an athlete about their result.
