Christmas Chaos

Christmas Chaos

Texarkana, AR - December 14, 2013

The Garage Games is coming to Texarkana! Our friends at CrossFit Avidity are pulling out all the stops (kind of like the big guy in red does around this time of year) in order to add just a little more Chaos to your Christmas! On December 14th the South Central region will be converging on The Four States Fair Entertainment Center in Texarkana, Arkansas for a one-day individual and team event. With Scaled, Rx and Masters divisions for individuals and Scaled and Rx divisions for teams, there's a place for everyone. Teams must be comprised of one male and one female. Make sure you're on "THE LIST" this year and get registered now! Spaces are limited and this event will fill up quickly!

All individuals and teams in all divisions will compete in  3 WODs. The top 4 positions in each division, individuals and teams, will compete in a 4th WOD to determine the top 3 spots. If any athletes are tied in any of the top 4 positions, they will all advance to the 4th WOD. If after the 4th and final WOD there are any ties in the top 3 positions there will be a sudden death throwdown, only between tying athletes, to determine rank.

Just a little early “Christmas present” for you…WOD 1 has been announced!!

WOD 1 – “Snatch ‘Til I’m Dead”

5:00 AMLAP (as much load as possible)

Snatch/Deadlift

Individuals

Snatch (power or squat) as many reps as possible at any load you want for the first 4:00. Athletes will be allowed to load what he or she will begin with before go. Larger slower athletes may choose to use a heavier load and smaller faster athletes may choose to use a lighter load. It would be ideal to go heavy and fast. This is up to you. Any load you begin with can be changed (with the clock running) up or down. Each rep will be multiplied by that rep’s load to add to your score. Obviously the higher the score the better. Example: if an athlete performs 40 reps at 100# in the first 4:00, that athlete has a score of 4,000 thus far (stay with me). At the 4:00 mark we will sound a whistle. You must complete one more successful snatch with any load you choose. That last successful snatch load will be your load to deadlift for the remainder of the 5:00. If at 4:00 you fail at your last snatch, you must reattempt and/or change the load and reattempt until you successfully complete a snatch.  You will then use that load, and only that load for your deadlifts with whatever time you might have remaining.

Teams

Team members must alternate reps. Each male and female will have his or her own bar with the weight they choose (same as individual). Teammate A must have the bar resting on the floor before Teammate B can go. If Teammate A dumps the bar, all bouncing must stop before Teammate B reps. At the sound of the 4:00 whistle no more snatches are mandatory. Instead both team members will advance to a lane where a tire @ 225# will be waiting for them to flip for the remainder of the 5:00. Tire can be flipped anyway the team wants as long as it stays in their lane.

BAM! and let the Chaos begin!
