The final Open WOD will be announced tomorrow at 2:00pm our time (Hawaiian time)! 

1. We will hit the Open Workout of the Week on Thursday as the WOD for all classes - If you plan on being validated during a class you must sign-up for a class time (this is only for registered athletes, all others can just come to the class). Post the class time you intend on coming to for Thursday's Open Workout on the gym sign-up sheet or on our Facebook page.
2. Saturday Night Lights - Everyone is invited to either cheer on or participate in the Open WOD (you do not have to be registered to participate). Saturday Night Lights will begin at 4:00pm. Please sign-up on the sheet at the box or on our Facebook page - note if you are a registered athlete or not. Athletes will be assigned a heat and notified of their heat assignment upon arrival on Saturday. Please DO NOT show up before 4:00pm, the first heat will not begin till after 4:30pm, so you'll have plenty of time to warm-up!
3. Validation - You must watch the weekly Movement Standard Video that the CrossFit Games website provides, and understand what is full range of motion for every movement in the Workout. Your judge is not responsible for you not understanding what the full range of motion is!
4. Posting your scores online - After you have been validated it is your responsibility to post your score online! The deadline for doing this is before 5:00pm PT (2:00pm DST) on Sundays, however I do not suggest waiting till the very last minute.
5. The CrossFit 808 Team - Throughout the Open, each team will be ranked (both in the World and the Region) based on their top 3 female scores and their top 3 male scores. There are many factors that go into deciding who will represent our team at Regionals. Ultimately, the decision will be entirely up to the coaching staff, but placement in the gym at the end of the Open will be taken into consideration.
6. Important info about the next cycle of our Elements Program and Free Intro Class: No Free Intro Class till Saturday, March 31st! We will be postponing our Free Saturday Intro Class till the end of the Reebok CrossFit Games Open, so if you are interested in trying out our gym please email and sign-up for March 31st. The next Elements cycle will begin the week following, Tuesday, April 3rd. To reserve a spot please email info@808crossfit.com with the subject line: AM or PM (choose one) Elements.
