Scoring and Leaderboard

All Open rankings reset for Semifinals.

Athletes will earn points based on their placement in each workout (lowest points = better rank).

Ties are broken by the highest single workout finish.

Scores and videos will be publicly viewable after the competition closes.

Advancement to the CrossFit Games

The number of athletes advancing to the Games will be based on the total number of qualifiers allocated minus those who qualified through live events.

CrossFit will confirm the specific number before Semifinals start.

If an athlete declines their Games invitation, CrossFit does not plan to backfill that spot.

Final Notes

It is the athlete's responsibility to ensure compliance with all competition, judging, and video standards.

Submitting unviewable or improperly formatted videos can result in a score of "0" for that workout.

Stay organized and prepared to ensure your path to the Games stays on track!
