Welcome to the 2024 CrossFit Open!
In this email you’ll find a wealth of information.
Please take the time to read through it so you’re in the know and so that you don’t unintentionally screw over your team;).
Haven’t signed up for the Open yet? There’s still time to sign up HERE.
TEAMS
Teams are split up by classes (5:30am / 9am / Noon/ 4:30pm/ 6:00pm). You, ultimately, can choose what class you want to sign up under. This means you can bribe or be bribed to be part of any class time. If there is one class time that has significant participants, we will choose to split them up into other classes. ALTHOUGH, winning is all about consistent participation.
OPEN WORKOUTS
The Open workout will be our class workout for both Friday and Saturday. If you are someone who likes to take their time getting warmed up, we suggest doing the workout on Saturdays. We will be “judging” each other during the workouts. This does mean that workouts will be performed in multiple heats.
WEEKLY SCHEDULE
Here’s what you can expect each week:
1. Learn the workout at 12pm (noon) each Thursday via the LIVE Announcement from CrossFit (see games.crossfit.com).
2. Wake up on Friday or Saturday morning to go big with your theme outfit.
3. Attend group class on Friday or Saturday, do The Open workout. OR do the workout outside of class. You have from Thursday at noon until Monday at 6pm each week to complete the OPEN workout.
4. Continue on a tear through the remainder of the week accumulating group class attendance points.
5. Log your week’s points in the Google Survey Form sent out every Monday evening. All point submission sheets are due by TUESDAY AT 6PM. NO EXCEPTIONS! WORKOUT POINTS SUBMISSION You will need to perform ONE action each week to log your score and submit your weekly points earned.
Action: Fill out the weekly Intramural Google Survey Form that is sent out Monday evening each week. You will record your weekly Individual Points as well as your workout score. Just to reiterate – you will need to record your weekly score at games.crossfit.com AND you will need to fill out the weekly Intramural Google Survey Form (sent via email). You have from the Tuesday prior to each Open workout until Monday to accumulate your weekly class attendance points for that week.
Weekly class attendance points accumulation weeks are:
● Week 1: Tuesday, February 27 – Monday, March 4
● Week 2: Tuesday, March 5 – Monday, March 11
● Week 3: Tuesday, March 12 – Monday, March 18
● Week 4: Tuesday, March 19 – Monday, March 25
You must complete the points submission form between Monday at 6pm and Tuesday at 6pm of each week. No exceptions. We’ll remind you about all of this as we get closer, but it wouldn’t hurt to put reminders on your calendar now!
