It’s that time of year!! The Open is approaching, and FAST
What is The Open?
The Open is a global CrossFit competition that marks the first step on the road to the CrossFit Games. But at CrossFit 8 Mile, it’s much more than that—it’s our biggest community event of the year. Over the past five years, more than 100 members have joined in to make it an unforgettable experience.
This year, The Open consists of one workout per week for three weeks.
What is The Intramural Open?
For most of us who aren’t competing in the CrossFit Games, the Intramural Open is all about having fun, challenging ourselves, and celebrating our community. Every participant in the Intramural Open gets drafted onto a team, making it a fun and inclusive event for everyone.
This is for EVERYONE. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just starting out, you can join in. Each workout includes a scaled option, so all skill levels can participate and earn points for their team. Scaled workouts score the same points as RX (prescribed) workouts, so everyone has an equal chance to contribute.
How you can score points:
| Workout Completion | 1pt | Participating in week’s theme: | 1pt |
| Personal Record | 1pt | Redo | -0.5 |
| Top 3 RX Male & Female | 12pt | Team FNL Attendance | 10pt |
| Top Scaled 3 Male & Female | 3pt | Masters (40/50/60) | .50/1/1.5 |
| ⬆️*must complete 2 out of 3 weeks scaled | FNL Showdowns | 15/10/5 | |
| Top 4-10 Male/Female | 7pt | Top Theme Creativity | 10pt |
| Top 11-20 Male/Female | 5pt | Spotlight Moment | 6pt |
| Top 21-30 Male/Female | 3pt |
At the end of the 3 weeks, the team with the most points has bragging rights as 8 Mile’s fittest Team!
