Announcements: TRY-OUTS for Affiliate Team THIS SATURDAY (Workout #1 at 9am, Workout #2 at 11am, Workout #3 will be held on Monday) *Details will be on Friday's Blog posting*
Read below details:
The Affiliate competition will be held during our Regionals May 7-9 in Logan, Ohio. Individuals who just qualified for Sectionals will be competing Sat-Sun, but we also need at least 4 athletes to compete on our Affiliate team, which will take place Fri & Sun.
Rules (Game site Affiliate Cup post):
At the Regional level, an Affiliate Team must consist of a minimum of four to a maximum of six athletes. The team needs to have a minimum of two men and two women. All members of the team must actively train at the same facility, which does not have to be an official CrossFit affiliate gym.
At the Regional level, all the workouts will be conducted as team workouts with teams of four. Two men and two women will be competing at one time as a team. This will allow team captains or coaches to substitute members prior to an event based on team members' individual strengths and weaknesses.
There is only one team permitted per gym. We recommend having tryouts and competitions within your affiliate to determine your team of four to six athletes. But that is just a recommendation. The team itself qualifies, which means teams that qualify for the Games can make changes to their roster between the Regionals and the Games.
For teams that qualify for the Games, the rules will be slightly different. One key difference is that all teams must send six athletes, three men and three women, to Aromas. A non-participating coach is still optional.
An equal number of team spots and individual spots are allocated to each Regional. For example, if your Regional allocation for individual spots is 4 men and 4 women, there are 8 team spots allocated. Last year's champs, Northwest CrossFit, are prequalified and invited to the Games in Aromas, July 16-18.

Could have went heavier, but since I was alone I didn't want to go too crazy.
