It’s that time of year!! The Open is approaching.
What is the Open?
The Open is a worldwide CrossFit competition that starts the journey to the CrossFit Games. BUT for CrossFit 8 Mile it’s our biggest community event every year. The last 4 years we have had over 100 people participate and make it unforgettable.
It’s one workout a week for 3 weeks.
What is The Intramural Open?
For us, non-CrossFit Games athletes, this is a fun way to still throw down and have some fun. Everyone that participates in our intramural Open gets drafted onto a team.
This is for EVERYONE. Regardless of your ability, skill level, or how long you’ve been doing CrossFit, you can take part in this. Every workout has a scaled version written as well and these are the same amount of points as “RX” workouts.
Each week you score points for your team.
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 | 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!
Whether you participate or not, The CrossFit Open workouts will be programmed for all classes on Fridays. But the electric atmosphere will be Friday nights starting at 6pm. That’s when we will run a bunch of heats with taped lanes and team spirit oozes from everyone!
