Vidin Amber CrossFit OPEN Competition

Like every year, as spring approaches, the world of CrossFit begins to vibrate with the start of registrations for OPEN competitions.

This year the CrossFit rules and selection criteria have changed significantly. From this year, one of the main selection criteria is the National CrossFit Champion, which means that the strongest Lithuanians and Lithuanians, who according to the OPEN results will be the first in Lithuania, will win a ticket to the CrossFit Games.

BUT THIS ARTICLE IS NOT ABOUT THAT, WITH THIS ARTICLE WE WANT TO INTRODUCE THE AMBER CROSSFIT INTERNAL OPEN COMPETITION.

CrossFit OPEN is an international celebration of CrossFit boxes, during which CrossFit sports clubs from around the world perform the same WOD and try to find out who is the strongest. One of the misconceptions is that CrossFit OPEN is only for advanced athletes who will fight for the strongest title. Everyone can and should participate in CrossFit OPENbecause it’s a great opportunity to join in the CrossFit celebration. Amber CrossFit is also organizing an internal OPEN competition this year.

HOW IT WILL GO:

1. On January 19th we will open registration for Amber CrossFit’s internal OPEN competition, we hope as many Amber CrossFit members as possible will participate. The purpose of this competition is to bring the community together for the biggest CrossFit event;
2. After registration opens we will appoint 4 captains who will try to put together the strongest, friendliest and most active OPEN team;
3. The captains will choose the color and name of their team;
4. After announcing the captains and gathering everyone who wants to participate, we will hold a draw for team members on February 2nd. All members will be assigned to teams with their respective captains by drawing lots. Captains will be able to protect 5 athletes, including at least 1 Amber CrossFit coach. All other team members can be recruited to other teams. The official start of hiring will take place on February 4th.
5. There are no rules for recruitment, team captains can recruit members of other teams with various actions and methods that do not contradict the laws of the Republic of Lithuania. The goal is to put together the strongest and most active team possible.
6. To keep the same number of team members, we apply the rule that the team with the most members cannot recruit new members until the difference between the teams with the most and least members is greater than 5. If team “A” has 35 members and team “B” has 30 members, team “A” cannot recruit more members until team “B” reduces the difference.

POINT CALCULATION SYSTEM:

Each team member will collect points for his team. And the team with the most points will win the OPEN indoor Amber CrossFit competition.
