2018 BattleWolf Intramural Crossfit Open
It’s the most wonderful time of the year for Crossfitters around the world. This is where we put our fitness to the test with the CrossFit Open. However, this year we are doing things a little bit different. We are going to be having an internal competition, our first annual Intramural Open! What is an Intramural Open you ask? In the comfort of our own Box, we are going to be doing the Open workouts (similar to last year). However, this year the twist is that each person who is competing in the Crossfit Open will be assigned to a team for our Intramural Open. Each team will have a captain and there will be points awarded each week.
Note: For this in-house competition, the main emphasis of points will be on participation- not performance! So if you’re worried about “not being ready” – don’t be! All that’s required is that you show up, do work, and cheer on your teammates! As you’ll see in the rules below, only the top 3 males and females in each division (RX and Scaled) will score additional points for their team. The majority of the points come from participation and having the most fun!
Our goal is to make this a fun experience for everyone, bring our community together, all while testing our hard work that we put in week in and week out.
Team Captains
Jordan Graves
Karina Clements
Ceci Valadez
Patrick Cervantez/Adrian Acosta (Co-Captain)
**If you haven't been already, prepare yourself to be heavily pursued by these team captains. They are competitive and looking to create some fun teams.
Ways to Win Points
1 Point -- Teams will be awarded 1 point for every athlete that completes a given Open workout and submits their score, regardless of how they scale or how they score.
1 Point -- Teams will be awarded 1 point for each athlete who attends the Open Release Party on Thursday Nights. (You must be on time!!!)
3 Points -- Teams will be awarded 3 points for any athlete that finishes in top 3 male/female RX division and top 3 male/female for scaled division.
5 Points -- One person each week will be awarded 5 points for the Hardest Worker. We will pick one athlete who we saw stand out from the rest. This person DOES NOT have to complete the workout RX to win this award.
5 Points -- One person each week will be awarded 5 points for Spirit of the Open. We will pick one athlete who displays amazing SPIRIT during that week’s workouts. You’ll find this person cheering others on, volunteering to judge others, helping people get prepared, etc.
1 Point -- “The Challenge Point” - To spice things up a bit and add some extra intensity to specific heats, you will have the option to challenge a member of a separate team. If that other member accepts, you will compete in the same heat and whoever wins the matchup will earn 1 extra point for their team.
Additional Points -- There will be random opportunities throughout the Open to win additional points for your team.
