Welcome to the 2022 CrossFit Open! We are very excited to kick things off on Friday.

In this blog post, 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 unnecessarily screw over your team. 

TEAMS

There are three teams. If you have not received an email from your team captain please contact [email protected] ASAP. 

WEEKLY SCHEDULE 

Here’s what you can expect each week:

  1. Learn the workout at 1 p.m. MST each Thursday via the LIVE Announcement from CrossFit (see games.crossfit.com). 
  2. Join us on YouTube LIVE immediately after the workout announcement (around 2 p.m.) for the CrossFit Roots Update Show. We’ll break down the workout, answer questions, and announce the weekly challenge. The LIVE YouTube link will be linked in SugarWOD each Thursday. 
  3. Wake up on Friday morning and put on your jersey (your team’s color).
  4. Attend group class on Friday, do The Open workout. OR do the workout outside of class. You have until 6 p.m. on Monday of each week to do the workout – no exceptions, like none, nil, zilch. 
  5. Continue on a tear through the remainder of the week accumulating group class attendance points. 
  6. Log your week’s points in the Google Survey Form sent out every Monday evening. All point submission sheets are due by TUESDAY AT 6 P.M. 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.

Action 2: 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 Thursday at 6 p.m. until Monday at 6 p.m. each week to complete the OPEN workout. No exceptions.

POINTS (Individual, Workout, Team Challenges) 

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

  • Individual points
  • Scored workout placing points
  • Super secret one-off team challenges

INDIVIDUAL POINTS

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

  1. Class Attendance Points – Earn points for attending 3 or more group classes throughout the week. 
  • 5 points – you attended 5 group classes OR personal training sessions TUESDAY – MONDAY of the previous week AND logged your score in SugarWOD.* Group class attendance to do The Open workout on Friday counts toward this total!
  • 4 points – you attended 3 group classes TUESDAY – MONDAY of the previous week AND logged your score in SugarWOD.

Traveling or can’t make it in to the gym? You can get your points if you go to an affiliate elsewhere OR if you do 100 burpees for time.

  1. Do the Open Workout in Class – Earn points for doing 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 point – do the workout outside of class with a judge, obviously.
  1. Wear Your Team’s Color – each team has a team color. Wear a shirt that sports your team’s color when you do The Open workout and earn 2 points.
  • 2 points – Wear your team’s color to workout in while you do the Open workout.
