Oh man, with the popularity of the Open, how could we not get a community gathering around a Facebook page, posting, heckling, cheering and jeering? We know it is hard to get all seven events in for many of you, and getting ranked is important. So what a perfect way to add an event, get some prizes together, and give you a chance to climb the ladder!

The Details of the World Wide WOD are simple.  Oct 7th: WOD 1 is released. 7 days later, or Oct 14th, WOD 2 is released and you will have to have WODs 1 & 2 posted by Day 10, or Oct 17th. WOD 3 is released on Oct 17th and has to be posted by MIDNIGHT on  Oct 21. (you will of course need to be registered too). We’ll announce the winners on “THROWDOWN WEEKEND” at the two simultaneous October events (New England Team Throwdown and South Georgia Throwdown)!

The World Wide WOD counts for full ranking points for the top 25 athletes in each division ( Rx Male and Female, Scaled Male and Female, Masters Male and Female – AGE 40+). Athletes who place 26+ will all get points as if they placed 5oth… we might change this, once we see how quickly our team can validate videos, but for the most part, this is going to be the plan going into it. We will still rank you for the competition, this comment is regarding points award toward the GG Series.

Recommendation – get your fellow athletes competing.  This will be a fun social event, The Garage will be hosting special “video taping parties” and getting every level of athlete in on the competition.  It is going to be a ton of local fun, being part of the social network.

BONUS – there will be an additional PRIZE for the most AWESOME video.  How do you know it is awesome?  Compare it to this:

If you can have the absolute BEST video that makes us think “Awesome” like this, then you will win an Again Faster Certificate! Amount and strict guidelines to be determined.
