For the seasoned vet, you already know what the CrossFit Open is, but here is the down low for the CrossFit newcomer. Each year the journey to the CrossFit Games begins with the CrossFit Open. The Open is a worldwide competition that we and every gym across the globe participates in. For 5 weeks a workout is announced, and we all do the workout. It’s fun and we do it every year. There’s even a scaled and masters division. This year we are going to have more fun than usual with it!

We are holding an in-house Intramural Open competition, consisting of 4 teams that you can be a part of! These teams will have opportunities to earn points during the 5 weeks of the Open. Captains of these teams have been decided and a few of them have already approached a handful of you, asking to be on their teams. That is their job! If they haven’t approached you yet, they will be soon!

Points

Points are earned as follows:

  • 1 point is awarded for every member of the team who participates in an Open workout.
  • 3 points are awarded for every team member who scores top 3 for men and top 3 women in the gym.
  • 2 points for top 3 male scaled/ masters and top 3 female scaled/ masters
  • 5 points to the team who wins “The Spirit of the Open” each week. Last year we gathered with other gyms in the area and participated in a Community Open Throw-down. We’re doing it again this year, and the team who has the most people show up at these events, makes the most noise, and show the most support will be awarded these points.

Each team is limited to 20 people per team until all 4 reach that limit to keep things fair. We will extend the limit if necessary.

The Teams and Captains are:

  • Flexual Healing– Ashley Harrsion
  • Team KISMA (Kickin some MF’in Ass)- Ryan Barr
  • Gunz & Buns– Elisabeth Brown
  • HAKUNA MASQUATA– Connor Horstman

Feel free to approach captains too, I doubt they’ll say no!
