Roots Athlete Guide to the 2025 CrossFit Open Intramural Team Competition

Welcome to the 2025 CrossFit Open!

In this blog, 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

There are three teams made up of everyone who signed up for the Open. If you haven’t heard from your team captain yet, email [email protected] and we’ll get you hooked up!


Weekly Schedule

Here’s what you can expect each week:

  1. Learn the workout at 1pm MST each Thursday via the LIVE Announcement from CrossFit (see games.crossfit.com).
  2. Wake up on Friday morning and put on your jersey (your team shirt or team color).
  3. Attend group class on Friday, do The Open workout. OR do the workout outside of class. You have from Thursday at 1pm until Monday at 6pm each week to complete the OPEN workout and log your score at games.crossfit.com. No exceptions, like none, nil, zilch.
  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 TWO actions each week to log your score and submit your weekly points earned. 

Action 1: Submit your score at games.crossfit.com after completing the workout. This MUST be done by Monday at 6 PM (MST) each week. You must submit your score at games.crossfit.com. Do it after class and you’ll have no problems remembering.

Action 2: Fill out the weekly Intramural Google Survey Form that is sent out Monday evening each week. This must be done by Tuesday 6PM each week and is how your team earns points! 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). 

WEEKLY CLASS ATTENDANCE POINTS

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 25 – Monday, March 3
  • Week 2: Tuesday, March 4 – Monday, March 10
  • Week 3: Tuesday, March 11 – Monday, March 17

POINTS SUBMISSION FORM

You must complete your 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!

POINTS 

There are three categories of points available to teams each week: 

  • Individual points (class attendance, wearing team colors, etc.)
  • Scored workout placing points (points for the top scorers in Rx, Scaled, Foundations, and Masters)
  • Team challenges 

INDIVIDUAL POINTS

Each week, every team member can earn up to 11 points in 3 ways for their team:

Class Attendance Points

Earn 5 points – you attended 5 group classes OR personal training sessions TUESDAY – MONDAY of the previous week AND logged your score in SugarWOD.*

Earn 4 points – you attended 3 group classes TUESDAY – MONDAY of the previous week AND logged your score in SugarWOD.*

* Group class attendance to do The Open workout on Friday counts toward these totals!

Do the Open Workout in Class

Complete the Open workout IN a group class on Friday. NOTE! Yes, you get double points here! If you attend group class on Friday it counts toward your weekly attendance total AND in this category.

4 points – do the workout in a group class on Friday OR at another affiliate in a group class.

2 points – do the workout outside of class, and with a judge, obviously.

Wear Your Team’s Color or Team Shirt

Wear a shirt that sports your team’s color when you do The Open workout and earn 2 points.

SCORED WORKOUT PLACING POINTS 

  • The Top scorers for Men and Women in Rx, Scaled, Masters and Foundations divisions will earn points for their team.  
  • Each week, there will be additional team scoring such as the highest team average.

NOTE: The score you submit online and in the Intramural survey must match. For example, if you submit an RX score at games.crossfit.com, the same RX score must be submitted on the team survey.
