If you are signed up to be certified, remember, tonight is your night!  7:15pm at The Garage.  This is for anyone who is planning on being certified before Survival of The Fittest, or any other Southeast event.

i’ve stayed up till 1am several nights now working on how to fit a 25$ event into a 6hour window with several eliminations… man my eyes hurt.
here’s what I have so far….

Everyone WODs starting at 9am (or at least you pick a card and get in line) at your WOD area (1-4). the next rounds are 10am 11am 12am and we rotate WOD Areas. After that we start Lighting Rounds where we go at it in our WOD Area till you are told to ROTATE.

the breaks will be random and small and this will test your endurance (without doing a 5k) and recovery. We will push through the last rounds and make you cry

for the bigger brackets 64+ we’ll have one of the competitors for the 1st place match waiting for the other guy to come up out of the 1 loss bracket.
I know it probably doesn’t make sense now but it will. Most everyone will get the minimum 3 wods (or 3 loses).
it will be unique and it will be a blast but it might also be a mess

Survival of the Fittest division changes end on Thursday 8/11. As I’ll be creating the brackets on friday. so look at the list posted in the NOTES section here or on our games site and send me an email if you need a change.

Sorted by Sex, Division, then first name

First Name Last Name Division Sex
Amanda Chandler Beginner Female
Andrea Lannom Beginner Female
Anna Mendenhall Beginner Female
Ashley Bahlau Beginner Female

Once the division changes are finished I’ll repost the competitor list and then start working on brackets.

SotF should run from about 9am to 5pm (or end sooner).
I’ll need volunteers there by 8am.

Competitors will be in WOD Groups of 75 competitors.  These competitors will rotate around the 4 WOD Areas.  Each WOD Area will have diffent types of WODs of nearly equal caliber.  Competitors will start picking cards for WODs on the hour (or maybe sooner).  No WOD will last more than 5 min.  Some will go much faster.

You need to beat your Opponent either by completing the WOD or doing more reps at the 5min mark.

The idea of masters is that you can do RX but you are older and the 20 year olds just crush the WODs.  So we are changing the Master’s WODs to equal the RX WODs.

Masters is meant to be an age grouping, not a skill grouping.  If you can go RX and are 40+ then Masters is for you.  If you cant go RX then we have scaled and beginner.   Let us know and I’ll change your division.

The main issue is that I cant please both older folks that can do RX and older that need to scale.  So guys like me “older RX” need masters.  While “older scaled” have scaled.  Hope that helps explain it better.

Follow this link to see the WODs at the event.

They will be edited a bit before the date but you’ll get the idea

Remember, your goal is to beat your competitor.  So, either complete the WOD before him/her or just stay in front until the 5 minute time limit expires.
