MORE IMPORTANT INFO

When doing workouts for the Complete Hunger Games we will follow the exact standards from The CrossFit Open.

  • ALL athletes have the right/choice to scale the WOD beyond thier divsion standards for personal comfort, safety, and enjoyment BUT this will not count as a scored WOD.
  • When signing up for the Hunger Games, you can choose from RX or Scaled.

Here is a look into CrossFit’s divisions we will use for standards!

Rx’d – Do most workouts exactly as written in class. This is the most challenging option for experienced CrossFitters. Expect heavier loads and high skill gymnastics 

Scaled – Not quite ready to tackle the workouts as written? No problem. The scaled division offers classic scaling options for many of CrossFit’s common gymnastics movements and includes lighter loading. Choose this if you scale most class workouts or you are new to the Open.

If you cannot complete the workout as written we will modify it for you so you can STILL get a good workout in.

  • Work-outs will also vary by Age Groups. There are nine age group divisions offering Rx’d and scaled versions of the workouts for teenage athletes aged 14-17 as well as masters athletes ages 35+.
  • WOD’s are released every Thursday evening and can be done IN CLASS on Friday’s or at SPECIAL EVENTS
  • All scores must be turned in by Monday 
  • This is a COMPLETELY SEPARATE Registration from the Games with a goal of making the OPEN more entertianing and community based!
  • Registration money will be used to put on great events each week and for prizes! 

**WE USE ALL MONEY IN HOUSE TO CREATE A GREAT OPEN EXPERIENCE INSTEAD OF GIVING OUR MONEY TO Tia Clair Toomey 🙂 

  • Compete on teams within your CFCW community for bragging rights, great prizes, and you team banner hung up in the gym!
  • Scoring will be within our gym only and is based off participation, attendance, spirit, and performance 
  • Teams will be led by a pair of captains 
  • Participants can choose to compete as an RX’d or Scaled athlete 
  • WOD’s will follow exact format of Games Open 
  • Athletes DO NOT need to sign up for the Games OPEN at games.com

If athletes would like to participate in the worldwide Games OPEN than they are welcome and encouraged to sign up, BUT this will be an extra registration paid to HQ.   

Here are some facts/frequently asked questions about the Complete Hunger Games:

  • Do I have to pick my division and stick with it the entire Complete Hunger Games Cup? 
    • No. If you cannot complete the workout as written we will modify it for you so you can get a good workout in. HOWEVER– the score you put in Competition Corner will be what you completed as written. (Example: RX Workout calls for 50 Double Unders- 20 Handstand Push Ups- 20 Snatches- you complete the double unders and modify the handstand push ups to keep moving through the workout but the score you post in the CC will be 50).
  • Will my score hurt my team? 
    • NO! Absolutely not. We only take the top 2-3 scores from each team. So if you are not one of the top scores for your score will not hurt your team- BUT you earn points for your team based on participation! So just completing the workout will earn points for your team.
  • How do I earn points for my team? 
    • Most points are earned through participation and teamwork! We will have also have fun challenges throughout the week- these could be simple fitness related tasks, social media challenges or something to show your team spirit!
  • How are teams formed? 
    • We will have “draft day” and draw names on February 1st and place you on a team! OR you can wait to sign-up until after draft day (for $40) and pick the team you want.
  • Do I have to attend every Special  Event? 
    • No. You have from Thursday night until Monday evening to complete the workout. We will do the workouts during Friday class times, at events, or you can complete them on your own.
  • What happens at Friday Night Lights? 
    • Magic! We will run the workouts in heats and you will have a judge to count all our reps. It is set up like a CrossFit Competition but has all your buddies there to cheer you on!
  • Should I participate in the Complete Hunger Games? 
    • Yes. You will be sad if you don’t. It doesn’t matter if you’re a veteran or a newbie. We will take care of you and make sure you have a wonderful time!
