Rules
- There will be a total of 5 workouts over a 5 week period beginning February 25th . Each workout will be announced on Thursday nights at 8pm via CrossFitGames.com. Workouts will be posted on the blog on Thursday evenings by 9pm w/ RX and Scaled options. Teams will have the following Friday, Saturday, and Monday by 8pm to complete the workout(s) and submit their scores on the CFOIB In-House OPEN Leaderboard (located in the gym behind the rowers).
- In order to be considered in the running for a 1st place price BOTH teammates must complete ALL workouts as either SCALED or RX’d. Any other team submitting mixed scores (Rx+Scaled) can participate in the 6-week game but will not be eligible for 1st place winnings.
- Teammates do not have to complete weekly workouts at the same time or on the same day. But we encourage camaraderie! So choose a partner who most likely you can arrange a mutual workout time with.
- Athletes DO NOT have to register for the Open on CrossFitGames.com. Certainl we believe it’s a valuable experience to be a part of the global game, but it is not mandatory in order to participate in our “In-House OPEN” this year.
-
Each team’s total combined score for the week’s workout will be recorded on the CFOIB OPEN Whiteboard *in-house. Coach K will tally all 5 scores for a total number of points and award winners based off of the highest score for the RX and scaled teams respectively.
-
Workouts (scaled or rx) must be judged by your team member or any other member of CFOIB.
- To register for the CFOIB In-House OPEN please click here OR in person with Coach K or KJ.
-
*Only those registered with CrossFitGames.com as an RX individual must have scores validated by a Coach K or another member of the coaching staff who has completed the Judges course. Those registered with CrossFitGames.com as scaled may have workouts judged by any credible CFOIB member. All score sheets must be turned in to Coach K for approval before 8pm on Mondays.
- The CFOIB In-House OPEN is meant to be FUN! Scoring will no doubt be “subjective” as it will be difficult to monitor every single participant’s level of “scaled-ness”. Overall, the objective it to make it easy for everyone to participate on YOUR own level (without the pressure and hassle of submitting scores online) and therefor, exert all of YOUR energies on enjoying the game instead!
- Don’t forget to come up with your whacky team name!
