———————————————————–

The 2012 CrossFit Open begins three weeks from today and we are trying to field a team to push for Regionals in May. We have a strong group of athletes and I feel we can make push to fielding a competitive team. Here are the rules for the Open Team Competition found in the complete rule book here:

Teams will consist of at least three (3) men and three (3) women who validly register and who train at the same physical location for at least half of their personal workouts (as determined by CrossFit in its sole discretion) between January 1, 2012 and the commencement of the Open on February 22, 2012.  Athletes may only compete for one Team during each CrossFit Games season.

*Athletes must join their team prior to the close of the first Open workout (February 26, 2012) in order to compete for that team during the Regionals or Games, and may only compete for one Team during the season.

*Team members must be registered as individuals and select the same Affiliate (or “unaffiliated” if they do not train at a valid CrossFit affiliate gym in good standing) to join a Team.

*Teams captains must first register as an individual Athlete, and then select which Affiliate they train at. They may then register a Team, and select any Athlete from their home Affiliate who is not competing for another team. Athletes may also request to join the team. DONE!

*If a gym or owners owns or operates multiple locations, each location may register their own Team.  Teams may not include Athletes that personally workout more than half of the time at another location, even if the other location shares a name, owner, membership plan, or programming.

*More than one Team may come from a gym, as long as all members of the Team consistently train at that physical location.

*Being a trainer at a gym does not automatically qualify an Athlete to compete for one of their Teams. The trainer must still train there for more than half of their personal workouts.

*Affiliate owners may not compete on any team except those from their Affiliate.

*Athletes must be registered as a member of the Team before the close of the first Open workout, and they may not compete for any other Team during the course of the season, even if another Team from their gym qualifies to compete at the next stage or stages.

*Open Registration – $20 for U.S.
