Record your video:

• Be sure to include the clock in the video for all WOD’s. You can use a stopwatch if it the time is clearly visible at the start of the WOD, and the watch stays in the field of view the entire time, and it is clear at the end of the video.  If it is a wall clock, be sure that it is also visible throughout, or you can use a computer (online digital timers) and once again, keep it in the field of view!
• Upload it anywhere.  Youtube, vimeo, SICFIT… and provide us with the link for the video.  Email that link to WWW@crossfitgarage.com we’ll give you a response email if it is good.  In addition, you are welcome to post it on our facebook page, actually… we encourage it!  Our facebook page is a great place to get comments on your video.
• Name your EMAIL.  Use your name for your subject heading like this: LastName_FirstName_Division_WOD_TotalScore… here is an example: Richards_Eric_RXMale_WOD1_400  if the score was a time (WOD#2) then I would have that time as 03:29.
• As scores are updated, you will be able to see your total rep count in our published score updates.
• File Score Grievances with an email and the title of the email is LastName_FirstName_Division_WOD_Grievance (where you actually use the word grievance).  We will post any grievance video to the facebook page for open commentary, and will adjust accordingly!

We have local business that will be there with booths as well as PROGENEX, Kill Cliff, The New Primal and athletes foot will have some Inov8′s at a booth as well!As for now we are keeping things pretty hidden and will not release any WOD’s until we know what the OPEN WOD is going to be for that week.

Get judged and validated from us, hit 2 more WOD’s and go have a blast at the After Party…..oh yeah…and it ALL goes to The March of Dimes .
