Bury me...

Day 5 of Construction

Rest Day

Less than 1 Week until the Throwdown!!! We will post the workouts once they are made public this week.

There will be no class on Saturday Jan 23, 2010. Come cheer for your fellow OTG'rs at the Winter Throwdown in Phila!!

We are planning on leaving from the 'Garage' between 7:30 and 8:00 am to be there for athlete registration @ 9am. Anyone interested in coming up with us is more than likely!! Post/Email/Call if you are.

This was pulled directly from the 2010 CrossFit Games website!

"This year, the fight for "World's Fittest Gym" is going to be tougher than ever. There will be open registration for teams at the 13 worldwide Regionals (first come, first served). Only the top several teams from each Regional will be invited to compete in Aromas.

Rules:
At the Regional level, an Affiliate Team must consist of a minimum of four to a maximum of six athletes. The team needs to have a minimum of two men and two women. All members of the team must actively train at the same facility, which does not have to be an official CrossFit affiliate gym.

At the Regional level, all the workouts will be conducted as team workouts with teams of four. Two men and two women will be competing at one time as a team. This will allow team captains or coaches to substitute members prior to an event based on team members' individual strengths and weaknesses.

There is only one team permitted per gym. We recommend having tryouts and competitions within your affiliate to determine your team of four to six athletes. But that is just a recommendation. The team itself qualifies, which means teams that qualify for the Games can make changes to their roster between the Regionals and the Games.

For teams that qualify for the Games, the rules will be slightly different. One key difference is that all teams must send six athletes, three men and three women, to Aromas. A non-participating coach is still optional.

An equal number of team spots and individual spots are allocated to each Regional. For example, if your Regional allocation for individual spots is 4 men and 4 women, there are 8 team spots allocated. Last year's champs, Northwest CrossFit, are prequalified and invited to the Games in Aromas.

There will be no team competition at the Sectional qualifiers. Team registration at the Regional will be open (first come, first served). There will be no open registration for individuals at the Regionals (everyone must qualify). This does not apply to the Master's competition, details of which will be coming shortly."

We'll be announcing tryouts shortly. They will more than likely be held on a Saturday/Sunday. The team members that qualify will be asked to train together as often as possible to develop chemistry and a solid 'team' bond. There is a possibility we will send two teams - one from each facility. Post your intentions and interest to be a part of the OTG Affiliate Teams to comments.
