The 2016 CrossFit Games Open

Registering for the Open:

1. Navigate yourself over to http://games.crossfit.com/
2. At the top right side of the website under the announcements, you’ll see a photo that says “Reebok CrossFit Games 2016” and “REGISTER TO COMPETE” in red.  Go ahead and click there.
3. If you signed up for the 2012, 2013, 2014 or 2015 CrossFit Open, you already have a login. So there is no need to create one.  Just go ahead and sign in with that information. If you did not sign up last year for either event, you will need to go ahead and create a login.
4. Once you login, either with you already established login or with your newly created one, they will ask you some location information and ask for payment; the cost for the Open is $20.
5. After the payment is submitted, you will be brought to a screen that will ask you to designate your affiliate, please select CrossFit 808.

If you have already registered for the Open, don't forget to select CrossFit 808 as your affiliate. Also, please take and pass the Judges Course, then print the certificate out and bring it to the gym. It is very helpful if you are fully aware of what the judge is looking for in full range of motion for every movement. 

Just like in the past, workouts will be announced on Thursdays, which means we will be doing the "Open Workout" of the week on Fridays. The 6:00am, 8:30am, and noon classes will have the "Open Workout" programmed as their workout of the day (WOD), if you are a registered athlete needing validation, you must sign-up for a class/time every week.

In the afternoon/evening we will hold our "Friday Night Lights" event with the first heat beginning promptly at 6:00pm. The box will open at 5:30pm for everyone to come in and warm-up/mobilize. Heat schedule will be posted the morning of, so don't forget to sign-up on the MINDBODY schedule by Thursday evening. Please cooperate with us and find street parking for this event. We expect a large number of athletes and we must leave parking open for other tenants during the evening. 

If you wish to do the workout a second time, there will be an opportunity to re-do the workout on "Second Chance Sundays" at 10:00am. You must find street parking for this event as New Hope holds their Sunday services in the morning. 

All scores must be submitted by Monday at 5pm (Pacific Time) for the respective week. Be aware that DST occurs on Sunday, March 13th, which will bump our time difference to 3 hours from Pacific Time.

If you still have questions, feel free to email me at elyse@808crossfit.com. We love hosting the Open at 808 and enjoy watching everyone challenge themselves. REMEMBER TO ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE and FULL EFFORT IS ALWAYS FULL VICTORY! Oh, and don't forget to thank your coaches and judge throughout the 5 weeks.
