What is the Open?
- The CrossFit Open gives athletes of all ages, experience, and ability levels a chance to challenge themselves.
- The Open consists of three workouts over three weeks, and it starts with 24.1 on February 29, 2024. Open workouts are identified by their year and the order in which they appear. The workouts will be released every Thursday during the three weeks of the Open. All athletes who have registered for the Open will have until 8 p.m. EST on the following Monday to submit their best score online.
- There are different versions of each workout, similar to how we run WODs: Rx, Scaled and Foundations. Athletes will choose a path to compete and be scored against their peers. If you perform one WOD in the Scaled division, you will automatically be placed in that division. In addition, there are age brackets to further focus your competitive peers: Teens, 18-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, and so forth. There is even a 65+ category!
- While the purpose of the Open is to find the fittest athletes in each region to move on to the regionals, it’s also an opportunity for any athlete at any level to participate in the competition. The Open can add meaning and purpose to your training while also bringing your gym’s community closer together. Most importantly, the Open will also give you some interesting data on your performance in the gym, which can be a guide for setting realistic goals for the following year.
How do I Sign Up for the CrossFit Open?
- Sign up at https://games.crossfit.com/. On this page, click “Register” and sign up for a free CrossFit ID if you don’t already have one. The cost to compete in the CrossFit Open is $20.
- Within your profile, select “CrossFit Cape Cod” as your affiliate. Your scores will automatically be added to the affiliate scoreboard.
- Starting on Feb. 29, the first of three Open WODs (24.1) will be announced. That WOD will be programmed for Friday, so all CFCC athletes will be doing the WOD regardless of signing up for the Open (so you might as well sign up, right?!).
- Registered athletes will have a judge assigned to them to officially score the WOD. Judges will have scoring sheets to record the athlete’s performance, of which one-half of the scoresheet goes to the athlete so they can input their score online via games.crossfit.com or the CrossFit Games app, and the other half of the scoresheet goes to the staff to validate your score. Scores must be input and validated by Monday, March 4 at 5:00 pm PST. Once validated, you will be able to see your score on the worldwide leaderboard and on the CrossFit Hampton Roads leaderboard. The same process will be followed for 24.2 and 24.3.
