The Competitive CrossFit
At each CrossFit Games competition athletes go through a series of challenges unknown to them until right before the events begin.
By this time, the participants has been whittled down from the hundreds of thousands of athletes in the Open and Sanctionals to the world’s national champions, other globally distinguished individuals, 26 teams, 40 teenagers, and 120 masters.
CrossFit Games Scoring
Athletes are rewarded according to their placing in each event relative to their peers (not according to their absolute performance on that event).
Each event will be worth up to 100 points, and athletes earn points based on their finish. At the end of the weekend, the athlete with the most points is the winner and is crowned the Fittest on Earth.
Currently The CrossFit Games are available to watch live free on Facebook and YouTube.
