SIGN UP FOR THE 2019 Open

2019 is a Special Year for the CrossFit Open, The Qualifying Stage for The CrossFit Games WHY? Because This Year There Will Be Two Opens, since we are in Transition Between The Old and New Ways of Qualifying for the Games. But Lets Not Panic Quite Yet! Meaning up for the Open is just the same as all previous. It Only Changes What Happens at the End for Those Who Qualify. What is the CrossFit Games Open? If you are a new crossfitter, The Open Constitus The Starting Stage to Qualify for The CrossFit Games It is The First Level of Qualification That Event Athlete Must Go Through and Conquer in Order To Advance To The Next Stage. It is a worldwide event, and happens simultaneously for Rx and Scaled Athletes Alike. Up to last year, The 20 Best Athletes In Each Region (With A FEW EXCENS) 1 in the Latin American region) Would The Advance to Competition in Madison at The World Stage. This Year EveryThing Changed Since Greg Glassman decided to change the qualification format, by a couple of main factor:

Regional Events Were Too Costly To Hold;
There are a Lot of Affiliates in Countries With No Representation at The Games, and So This New Method Will Promote Inclusion and Boost Development of CrossFit In these New Countries.

And so Farewell regionals and welcomo sanctionals, the new sanctification and office Events of CrossFit as one the new qualification stages for the CrossFit Games CrossFit INC HAS CHOSEN AROUND 16 COMPETITIONS WORLDWIDE TO ESTABLISH A First ROUND OF FINISTS FOR THE GAMES OF 2019. This Means The Top Man and Woman, as Well As The Top Team at Each of these sanctified Events Will Reive an invite to competence in Madison. And for all the rest? Everyone Else Will Need to participate in the Open to try to grab a spot to competence in Madison. What Changes in the Open in 2019? The First Thing is that in 2019 We Will Have Two Opens:

One in February/March in order to qualify for the 2019 Games
One in October, to qualify for the 2020 Games

As mentioned Previously, this is a transition year, Meaning Going Forward, Every Open Will Be held in October. Another Change, Now that regionals are Gone, The Classification Will Also Change. The Top Man and Woman in Every Country that have at least one office affiliated box, Will Be invited to compete at the CrossFit Games, provided they performeted Every Open Workout Rx. It is estimated that There are 160 Countries with Affiliated Gyms. Teams Will No Longer Qualify via The Open, and The Sole Means for A Team to Qualify for The Crossfit Games Is by Winning A Sanctioned Event. In Order to Avoid Elite Athletes from Being Excluded (as summary to Lot of Vary Good Athletes and It Is not positive for more than 1 Athlete to Win Top in Their Country, or SantaCehed Event), The Top 20 Athletes in the Open Will Also Reive an Invitation to Madison. Finally, CrossFit Inc reserves the right to invite up to 4 athletes , Sort of Like a Wildcard, Should "Dissearch" Athlets Fail To Qualify by Any Other Means. If you are adding up in your head, you 're probablay Thinking, gee how many athletes will there be in Madison This Year? Yes it´s True, it is a pretty long. And for that reason an elimination phase is expectted pretty early on, and the "surviving" athletes will go on competting Like in Years Past! These changes promote inclusion and truly gives athletes from all over the world a chance to try to supply they are the fittest on Earth.
