Sign ups for the CrossFit Games OPEN is now live at www.crossfitgames.com. We will be completing the Open workouts (February 22 – March 25) as a box and encourage as many of our athletes to sign up as possible. Yes, you can scale.

Here are some things you will need to know about the OPEN workouts:

1. We encourage all athletes to register for the OPEN here. This is not mandatory but is FUN! This online competition is a great way to see how you stack up against CrossFitters across the world, set new PRs, and experience competition.

2. You might as well familiarize yourself with the CrossFit Games & the Open before you read any further. Start here and then come back.

3. The Open will post one workout per week for five weeks, beginning at 5 p.m. PT on February 22. Registered Athletes will have until Sunday at 5 p.m. PT each week to submit their results.The OPEN workouts will be announced on the CrossFit Games site every Wednesday for five weeks.

4. All registered athletes must have a coach (or selected volunteer) judge your workout each week before you can submit your score online. We will have set times/days for this as follows:

Thursday 6am with Coach Jeff

Thursday 5pm – 5:45pm with Coach K

Saturday 9am – 11am with Coach K & Coach Jeff

*Anyone needing to complete their workout outside of these times can contact karen@crossfitoib.com for an appointment. All non-registered athletes will complete the OPEN wods on Saturdays only.

**Any Visiting CrossFitter or OPEN Competitor that is not a member of CFOIB can complete their Open WOD at CFOIB at the above times with prior notice to Coach K (email karen@crossfitoib.com) and a $10 drop in fee.

5. Yes you can scale. Many of us will be scaling! We still encourage you to register. You will still be able to submit your score online and annotate that you modified the workout. But your coaches will encourage you to go-as-close-to-RX-as-possible . . . You never know what you might achieve this year!

6. Standards of movement will be strictly enforced. Therefore, you cannot just grab a friend to “judge” your workout & validate your score. A coach must approve of all judges and all judges and athletes must watch the standards videos (which should be posted each Wed on the games website) and understand the standards prior to completing/judging the workout.

7. It all sounds much more complicated than it really is. Just keep checking http://games.crossfit.com/  daily for updates now until the end of the Open Competition.

We will continue to update this page as more information about the Open is released. Good luck to all of our competitors!
