Question 1

How do I sign up for the online qualifier?

Accepted Answer

You can sign-up for our qualifiers via Competition Corner. Use your existing account or create one. Registration for the 2022 Qualifiers will open on 8 April

Question 2

Oops, I made a mistake in my registration. How can I change it?"

Accepted Answer

No worries, making a mistake could happen to any of us!  Send us an email to explain the issue and we will correct your registration at the back end.

Question 3

Which age category am I in?

Accepted Answer

Your age, as you have during the finals on 3 & 4 September 2022 will determine the age category during the Qualifiers. 
You will automatically be added to the correct age categorie based on your date of birth, as submitted upon registration.

Question 4

Can I sign up for the Scaled division?

Accepted Answer

Upon registration you can only sign up for Rx'd. But no worries! It works just similar as in The Open.
 All Qualifier workouts have 2 versions: Rx'd & Scaled version.  You choose after having read the workout. If you are unable to perform a workout as prescribed, you pick the scaled version.  This way more people can measure their performance against each other, for those who wanna play and get real competition vibes.  It’s all about the community!

How does it work?
 Athletes may finish with a combination of  Scaled and Rx’d workout scores.  As long as you perform at least 1 Rx’d workout, you can advance to the Finals, when your final ranking is above the cut. Athletes who performed all 3 workouts in the Scaled version will not be invited for the Finals Leaderboard: athletes who perform a Scaled workout will be ranked relative to all other athletes who performed the Scaled version of that workout, but below all athletes who performed this workout Rx’d. So choose wisely ;-)
  Any of the below combinations can qualify for the Finals, when ranked above the cut: 3 Rx'd scores  2 Rx'd & 1 Scaled scores 1 Rx'd & 2 Scaled scores 
Choose wisely & remember:  We do not underestimate your age and fitness & neither should you!

Question 5

I am not sure if I am able to complete all workouts Rx'd

Accepted Answer

No worries! All workouts are accompanied by a scaled version. Athletes who are unable to perform a workout as prescribed can choose the scaled workout. You may finish the Qualifiers with any combination of scaled and prescribed workouts.    In doubt what to choose? Our motto is: We don't underestimate your age and fitness. And neither should you! :-)  It wouldn't be the first time that athletes set PR's or make their first HSPU, or MU during the qualifiers or at the finals. Challenge yourself.

Question 6

If I choose to scale 1 of the workouts, what happens to my ranking?

Accepted Answer

When you perform a Scaled workout, your score will be ranked relative to all other athletes who performed the Scaled version of that workout, but below all athletes who performed this workout Rx’d. 
So choose wisely ;-)

Can I still go to the Finals? 
Yes, you can, under these 2 conditions:
 As long as you perform at least 1 Rx’d workout When your final ranking is above the cut.  Any of the below combinations can qualify for the Finals, when ranked above the cut: 3 Rx'd scores  2 Rx'd & 1 Scaled scores 1 Rx'd & 2 Scaled scores  If you perform all 3 workouts in the Scaled version you will not be invited for the Finals 
Choose wisely & remember:  We do not underestimate your age and fitness & neither should you!

Question 7

Will there be a separate leaderboard for Rx'd and Scaled divisions?

Accepted Answer

There will be 1 leaderboard and this is how it works:

All workouts are accompanied by a scaled version. Athletes who are unable to perform a workout as prescribed can choose the scaled workout. 
You may finish the Qualifiers with any combination of scaled and prescribed workouts.   A scaled workout score will be ranked relative to all other athletes performing the scaled version of the workout, but below all athletes who performed that workout “as prescribed”.

Question 10

Do I need a judge?

Accepted Answer

Yes & no! :-)
Having a judge is not mandatory. However.......... We strongly advise to ask the help of a (certified) judge to judge you accurately.  He/she can help you to count the reps & make sure you meet the movement standards correctly. This avoids getting a penalty or being disqualified. You don't want someone to just count your (bro) reps.    Tip: Follow the official, online Crossfit Judge Course to better understand the position of a judge and/or be a (better) judge yourself for your fellow competitors.

Question 11

Do I have to video my workouts?
