I know a lot of you are planning on registering for the 2011 CrossFit Games Open. Whether you plan on competing as an individual, or on a team, every single athlete must register themselves for the Games! Make sure you get that taken care of soon.
I pasted the entire announcement from the official CrossFit Games website below, but click here and check out the site yourself if you’d like. Don’t put off registration any more. Do it!
“Many CrossFit affiliates are asking their members to register to perform Open workouts at their gyms. We are glad that so many affiliates have taken the initiative to host Open workouts in their own way.
Unfortunately, some athletes are confused about the registration process. Registering at your Affiliate DOES NOT register you as an individual athlete to compete in the Games. If you wish for your scores to count in the competition, and to be eligible to qualify for Regionals, you must register as an Athlete on the Site. No registration anywhere else will make you exempt from this requirement.
Affiliate owners, it is your job to make sure that your athletes understand the process for competing in the Open. Please clarify to them that they must register here if they wish to participate in the Open. We don’t want anyone to miss out on the Open because they misunderstood the registration process.”
