About the North East Qualifier
The North East Qualifier will be held on May 22nd and 23rd in Albany, NY. Over 200 athletes from 7 states will compete for 10 slots (5 men/5women) to participate in the 2009 CrossFit Games. We will be holding 2 events on Saturday and a final event on Sunday. The first two workouts will be announced prior to the Qualifier and the third will be revealed on Saturday night.
A full list of heat start times for Saturday’s events will be announced one week prior to the event. Sunday’s start times will be announced Saturday night.
Event Notes:
Each competitor will have his/her own judge. The movement standards will be strictly enforced.
There will be time limits for each event.
Scaling will be allowed, however athletes who modify the workouts will not be in contention for a Games slot.
The winner will be determined by a point system based on their ranking in all three workouts.
Remember, CrossFit’s goal is to increase work capacity. That is our definition of Fitness. The three events will be chosen to demonstrate who has the greatest work capacity. Train hard and do full Range of Motion in your training and you will be fine. We want to send the best representatives of the East Coast to the CrossFit games! We want the winner of the CrossFit games coming from the Northeast Qualifier!
