"CrossFit Games Open"
The CrossFit Games Sectionals begin this Tuesday and as many of those who are competing know, it will be an "open" of sorts. Many affiliates throughout the country have opted to be participants of the open by allowing competitors to use the participating gym to video the weekly workout or to have the workout validated by the gym's trainers.
We are going to share the experience with the Las Vegas Community, so we are rotating venues and having a host location for each week's workouts. Here is the list of the dates and locations for the 6 week sectionals. The location is going to rotate between: Sin City CrossFit, CrossFit Las Vegas, and CrossFit 702. The Drop In Fee for Validation of out-of-town visitors is $20. All local members will be allowed to validate at no charge.
Week 1: Saturday March 19 - Sin City CrossFit
Week 2: Saturday March 26 - CrossFit 702
Week 3: Saturday April 2 - CrossFit Las Vegas
Week 4: Saturday April 9 - CrossFit 702
Week 5: Saturday April 16 - CrossFit Las Vegas
Week 6: Saturday April 23 - Sin City CrossFit
Dates and locations are subject to change if need be for logistical issues that may present themselves. That information will be posted no later than the Wednesday Night following the WOD announcement.
How are these games judged/scored, anyway? Is it run basically like a class, or what is the format?
ReplyDeleteRobert,
ReplyDeleteEvery week we will meet at the affiliate on the schedule and do the workouts with other gyms. Each week a workout is posted at 5pm on Tuesday so until its posted we will not know what its going to be.
On the event day we will have heats assigned for athletes and they will be assigned a judge. There will be an athlete briefing followed by a movement demonstration. The first heat will have time to warm up and then from there they will go with their judge to the competition floor. After they have had their own meeting and all judges have explained to their athlete what is needed its 3,2,1 go.
