Regular Class Schedule
Open Workouts can be performed any time. You are responsible for coordinating with a judge to come and score your workout. Classes have priority for workout space so please be respectful if you’re doing your Open WOD on Monday evening.
7PM – Open Score Submission Deadline
After you complete the Open WOD, your judge will give you a slip of paper with your score, tie-break time, and judge’s name. You are responsible for submitting this information to the CrossFit Games website or through the CrossFit Games app. You’ll enter your workout reps or time, judges name, location performed, and whether you performed the Rx or scaled option. You must submit your score to the CrossFit Games website to earn a participation point for the Vintage Open. The score submission system shuts down at 7PM on Monday. Dennis will validate your score once it’s submitted. After it’s validated your score will appear on the global leaderboard.
Every athlete competing in the Open needs a registered judge to count reps, ensure range of motion standards are met, and record your final score. Everyone is encouraged to take the Online Judges Course at https://oc.crossfit.com ($10). Having lots of judges available ensures the Friday Night Events run smoothly and you’ll earn Judging points for your Vintage Open team! If you don’t have a CF-L1, you must take the 2018 Judges Course, even if you took the course in past years.
On Friday nights the energy rises as we take on the Open workout competition style: The gym will be split into lanes and we’ll have athletes perform the workout in heats. We’ll put heat/lane sign-ups on the board on Friday after the noon class. Pick your workout time and lane when you arrive on Friday. We’ll post a suggested warm-up and stretch. It’s the athlete’s responsibility to warm-up and be ready on time for their heat. Beginners, please reach out to a coach or your team captain if you have questions about how to warm-up.
Vintage members who aren’t competing in the Open are welcome to join the fun and do the workout on Friday evenings. Your friends from other boxes can drop in too!
There will be a judges sign up on the board next to the heats. Please take turns judging so other judges have time to rest/recover/eat/drink between heats!
You’re encouraged to bring friends and family to cheer for you on Fridays. The Open is an opportunity to showcase the hard work you put in at the gym throughout the year. Encourage your teammates and the rest of the Vintage community!
As the heats start wrapping up, we’ll transition into the afterparty. Each week one of the Vintage Open teams sponsors the afterparty by selecting the theme, providing food, drinks, and entertainment. Team captains will help lead these efforts. Everyone is welcome to hang out and have fun!
