Below are some updates and confirmations for the "Battle"

SATURDAY DECEMBER 18TH- "BATTLE OF THE BEST"

Start times- Again, please show up at CrossFit RED at 9am sharp for weigh in and roster check. Weather permitting, we will gather everyone for a quick trip to Stoker Stadium after roster check OR we will prepare for the first WOD at the gym. The first Heat will start at 10:10. Why weigh? This is for the athletes current and future records and awareness of weight vs. performance ratio. It will not be used to quantify a performance.
Athletes will remain consistent in their heat throughout the day VS. the traditional progression of best athletes going in last heats. 

Point system- We will be using a point system for quality control and modifications on exercises. Your end score will be based on all your times combined + all your points combined-used equally as seconds subtracted from your total time. THIS SYSTEM IS A FRIENDLY WAY TO PENALIZE WHAT WILL OTHER WISE BE A MISSED REP IN LATER COMPS! A few further adjustments have been made to make sure we are not double penalizing you. This is not meant to make it tougher necessarily a way to lessen the pain for newbies. Future competitions like sectionals, regionals, opens will be less friendly in their point deduction. We will make sure you understand this scoring system on competition day.
* Please bring a hydration vessel, any food for fuel, your own product, a change of clothes and layers for change in temperature. See you all there at 9AM SHARP!
