From CrossFit.com:
In order to identify the fittest, we invite everyone in the world to compete in the Open.
Every Wednesday, from March 6 to April 3, an Open workout is posted.
Everyone then has until that Sunday to complete the workout. Athletes
have the choice of competing at a participating CrossFit affiliate, or
submit 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.
You can, and should register for the Open to see where you are in the world. Even if you aren't planning on going to Regionals or the Games. And if you register as an individual and a team (CrossFit Iconz), your scores help the box qualify for prizes and equipment as well as a chance to have a team go to Regionals.
I think we should shoot for 100% member registration in the Open. We will be doing the Open workouts on Saturdays once they are released. Once a week for 5 weeks. If not now, when?
