You do not have to be a member of ANY CrossFit gym to compete and participate. Do you think you have what it takes to win? Ever wondered if you can beat a CrossFitter in a workout? Do you think your training regimen is better than CrossFit? Here is your chance to prove it!
With the first workout being announced on March 15, 2011 the CrossFit Games Open is less than a month away. Since the first WOD (Workout Of the Day) was announced on CrossFit.com 10 years ago, every day people all over the world have posted their results online. The Open is simply taking this process and raising the stakes.
As described in the video, athletes will either complete the Open workouts under judge supervision at registered affiliates, or submit videos of their performances. Throughout the Open, strict requirements for completion will be enforced.
There's a strong incentive for success. The top 60 men, 60 women, and 30 teams in each region will qualify for Regional competition.
Individual participation in the Open will only cost $10 in the U.S. and Canada, and $5 elsewhere. Team registration will begin with every member of a team first registering as an individual. Then, one team member will pay 20 dollars to register as the team captain. It will not cost any additional fees to add team members, regardless of the size of the team. A team must consist of at least 3 men and 3 women.
CFJAX and the CrossFit East family of affiliates will band together to provide the best possible setting, environment and atmosphere for you to throwdown and give all that you've got to compete! the first WOD will be released on March 15 via CFHQ, so we anticipate this first event to take place the following Saturday on March 19th, tentatively.
