CrossFit Games Team
2012 CrossFit Games
Team
On February 22nd, the team competition starts with the
Open. All of a team’s members must register on the
Games site. The team captain then must set up a team
account and add the members of their team in order to
qualify. For the first time ever in the games history,
affiliates may have more than one team. Once the Open
begins, however, athletes cannot be added or moved
between teams.
Team athletes will complete the five Open workouts
like individual competitors. If an athlete chooses to
register with a team, the athlete can still compete in
the individual competition at the Regional level, if
they qualify. A team’s top three male and female
scores in the week’s workout will contribute to the
team’s standings.
At the conclusion of the Open, the top 30 teams in
each Region will advance to Regionals. A team’s
Regional roster must contain only members from the
group of athletes that represented it during the Open.
Teams are comprised of three men and three women.
Six team members will complete workouts together over
the course of three days. Sometimes, only two members
will do the workout, sometimes four, sometimes all
six. No more than three teams will advance to the
CrossFit Games Affiliate Cup.
CrossFit Games
Masters
The Masters competition is for athletes ages 45 and
older. For the second year, the Masters level
competition will be split into four age categories –
45-49, 50-54, 55-59, and 60-plus.
Masters athletes will register in the Open, complete
the workouts just as the individuals. Some age
divisions will have modified standards, but all
workouts must be completed as prescribed.
Masters competitors will not have to compete at the
Regional level. The top 20 in each age category will
receive invitations to compete at the CrossFit Games.
