Scoring

The scoring of each event is as follows:

First place - 150 points.
Second place - 146 points.
Third place - 143 points.
Fourth place - 141 points.
Fifth place - 140 points.
Every finisher from that point on will receive one less point.

In the event of a tie, the points will be shared and the next successive points will be forfeited.
For example, if three contestants were to finish second with 10 rounds, complete rounds only will count, on the Thruster/Burpee AMRAP, then each would be awarded 146 points and and the next place finisher will be awarded 140 points as the fifth place finisher.

Coaching during the WOD:
For the first WOD there will be no coaches allowed within the competitor area.  The competitor area will be limited to that heat’s competitors and judges ONLY.
For the row each competitor will be allowed one coach along side of them.

Unsportsmanlike Conduct:
Everyone is expected to not only be positive towards one another during the event, but, there will be a zero tolerance rule for arguing with the judges.  These judges are not being paid and will be doing their best to make sure form is upheld throughout all the WODs.  We suggest you come prepared to do the movements as described in the video and write-up.

Bib Numbers:
Everyone competitor will be given a number.  It will be your responsibility to have that number clearly visible on your arm for all 3 events.

Please bring a marker with you.

Scaling:
There will be set weights that you are able to scale to.  For the men, the scaling option will be 95lbs. and for women it will be 65lbs.  If you will need to scale, please let us know ASAP.  The scaling for Day 2 will be given when the WOD is announced.

By scaling you cannot qualify for the CrossFit Games.

Thruster standards
No racks will be used.  Competitors must raise the bar to their own shoulders.  If competitors choose to squat clean the bar off of the floor and the depth of the squat brings the competitors’ hip crease below their patella (to a legal squat depth), this can be the beginning of their first thruster.  Otherwise, the competitor must lower their hip crease below the patella with the bar at the shoulders before beginning their first drive overhead.

One repetition will be counted when this full depth squat and a full lock overhead have been completed.  A full lock overhead requires that the ear is visible in front of a fully locked arm (at the elbow) supporting the barbell.  The knee and hip must also be locked and open in order for the repetition to count.

If the competitor is unable to drive the bar directly into a locked push press from the front squat, they may drive their body down under the bar (jerk), but the finish must be in a fully standing, fully locked overhead position as described above in order for the repetition to count.

Note: You cannot split-jerk the thruster.

Burpee Standards
The Chest must hit the deck at the beginning and the feet must leave the ground in an upright jump with an overhead clap at the end.  Hips must be open at the top of the jump in order for the repetition to count.  Not touching the chest, not leaving the ground, not opening the hip on the jump, not jumping into a vertical body position, and no clap will mean repetitions will not be counted.

Rowing

The damper setting will be up to each individual athlete.  Your “coxen” will be allowed to manipulate your damper setting throughout the row.
