CrossFit Games 2017 - What You Need To Know

CROSSFIT GAMES PROCEDURES:

• Workouts are released on Thursday nights at 8pm.  Live web broadcast at games.crossfit.com.  You can watch it on your own computer at home, or come join us at the gym to watch on the TV.

‍

• Friday WOD’s will be the CrossFit Games workout announced the night before.  So even if you aren’t registered for the games but you come in for class, you will be doing the games workout!  Soooo,  register yourself to represent FirePower, we will put you on an intramural team and your workouts will help earn points for your team. You can come to your usual class from 5:30am to 3:30pm and you can perform your weekly games wod in your class.  A judge will be assigned to you.

‍

• “Friday Night Lights”   Starting approx 4:45pm, we hold heats of athletes to perform the Games Wod.  No classes will happen beyond the 3:30pm class for the 5 weeks. Heat times depend on the workout that is released on Thursday nights.  Coaches will assess how many athletes we can fit into each heat depending on equipment and floor space.  Friday night heats will be available for you to sign up by noon on Fridays, or sign up for one when you arrive on Fridays.   Last heat is typically no later than 8:15pm’ish.

‍

• Friday nights, please come to cheer on your fellow members, watch some of our coaches and competitive team athletes perform, and BYOB.  Primal Cravings will have paleo meals for sale over the dinner hour.  Optional potluck snacks are welcome but not required. 

‍

• Kids are welcome to watch the event, but not allowed on or near the training floor and MUST be supervised AT ALL TIMES!!!  This is a complete non-negotiable.  If you are wodding, you must transfer responsibility of your kids to someone else. Kids are not allowed upstairs at the gym, nor in the changerooms.  FirePower Kids is offering a workout/dinner/movie night for RCFP members children each week.  Please review the options each week and RSVP a spot.

‍

• If you are unable to do your games workout on Fridays, you are welcome to use open gym times on Saturday 12-1:30pm/Sunday 10am-1pm/Monday 10:30am-3:30pm.  You will need to make arrangements with a qualified or appointed judge during these times.  Ask a coach for details. 

‍

• When you do your workout, give it your all the first time!  Unless a major catastrophe happens, there is no need to redo.  We have over 130 athletes to get through the workouts each week.  Please be respectful of our coaches and judges.  This entire games series is 100% volunteered time.  #noredos

‍

• Have fun with your Intramural team and captains! Each week we will award 3 achievements: SPIRIT OF THE GAMES, ROOKIE OF THE WEEK, ASS-KICKER OF THE WEEK. These will be chosen by RCFP coaches, team captains, and wod scores (ass-kickers only). Look for the announcements on Tuesdays.

‍

• ‍Lastly, for anyone who has been part of previous Games’ years, there is no mobile app for 2017.   HQ has revised their web site to be mobile-friendly. The 2016 mobile app won’t work.
