FAQs

How will scoring work?

We will be using a weighted point system rewarding higher finishes like at the CrossFit Games. This is because we are hosting such a small event, where ties often occur due to there being such a small point spread. In the event of a tie, the athlete or team with the higher finish will win the tiebreak. In the event where an athlete or team both has the same high finish (if both have a 1st place finish), the next highest finish after that will win.

Workouts for the top 10 individuals were created and tested to include some familiar movements and some you may not have seen in the Open with a combination of challenging weights, gymnastics, and cardio. We have faith that these tests will further test your fitness, while all being within your capacity. All individual males and females will have a guaranteed 4 workouts, with the top 5 males and females making a 5th final workout. Scoring for individuals is as follows:

Events 1-2-3-4:

1st-100 points

2nd-95 points

3rd-90 points

4th-85 points

5th-80 points

6th-75 points

7th-70 points

8th-60 points

9th-50 points

10th-40 points

Event 5 (top 5 after first 4 events only):

1st-100 points

2nd-95 points

3rd-85points

4th-75points

5th-65points

Workouts for our top 5 masters were scaled from the individual workouts in both weights and skills. These were set-up in mind with athletes finishing the Open, knowing that some high skills or work capacity might be lagging behind in your individual fitness. Masters will have 4 workouts to crown the fittest based on the following:

Events 1-2-3-4:

1st-100 points

2nd-95 points

3rd-90 points

4th-80 points

5th-70 points

Team workouts are designed for teams of four, two males and two females, with the volume of work to be shared between athletes. Teams will have 4 events to represent their box. Team scoring will look as follows for teams:

Events 1-2-3-4A-4B:

1st-100 points

2nd-95 points

3rd-90 points

4th-80 points

5th-70 points

Will there be food available?

No. As many athletes are following specific meal plans or dietary restrictions, we will not be selling food this year for athletes or spectators. Judges/volunteers will have breakfast provided for their assistance during the event. Please bring snacks and food for the day. We will have Nooma electrolyte drinks to sample for free along with FitAid and Kill Cliff for sale ($3/can, cash only).

Will there be shirts available for sale?

Competitors will receive a t-shirt from National Ink & Stitch. Volunteers and judges who signed up before 4/20/2018 will also receive a t-shirt. There will be limited additional shirts for sale for $20 cash.

Do I need to bring my own jump rope if I am competing?

While there are some jump ropes available at the facility, we highly recommend you bring your own rope for the workout.

Will there be a warm-up area?

Athletes can definitely warm-up outside! There will be minimal equipment in a small warm-up area by the garage door to be shared by competitors.

Is there a cost for spectators?
