New standards of CrossFit Games 2020

With the start of the season, CrossFit Update your Rulebook to define the standards of participation to the different classification events for the final in Madison.

Open winners

We have already seen this 2019 that exist Open winners who go directly to the final, for individual mode.

On the one hand, there are National Champions, that is the man and the woman more in shape of each country. On the other, there is the top 20, male and female, of the best athletes worldwide.

He Rulebook Indicates, for greater harmony in the results, that if the National Nº1 is in the Top 20, you can choose one of the modalities, which would leave a place for the next. For example: if an athlete is nº1 of his country and is among the 20 best worldwide, he can compete in the Games as independent or as a representative of his country. If you decide to be independent, the title of National Champion would pass to No. 2. And if he decides to be a national representative, on the 21st of the World Top would have a place in Los Games.

The same would happen with the victors of the Sanctional Events That, you know, they are going to Madison's final.

The Teens and the Masters continue with the same modality of online classification and the world top 10 of each age category is the one that goes to the Games.

As for the teams, the same procedure seen this year also follows: they have to compete in the official events to qualify.

Penalty measures

In addition, the new rules change the verification procedure of the Open winners. Instead of watching videos at the end of five weeks, CrossFit will proceed to the weekly review of the wod engravings of the 40 best athletes of the moment.

Thus, the possible traps are limited in the results of the WOD by strategy (and if it sneaks, cuela).

Also CrossFit plans to review the possible case No rep since, it is not the same one No rep in a double jump than a Clean & Jerk As for its execution.

In addition, 11 of the Sanctional Events ask for the mandatory use of the app Wodproof to record your online classifiers as it informs the time and date of execution of the WOD.

Even if you are not going to be the new matters, you may be interested in consulting the Rulebook To better learn the standards of the competition and follow her as a real professional.
