Celebrate Freedom: Affiliate Team Competition

james — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:18:22 +0000

There Are Zero Team Competitions From May Through July in Atlanta Metro. That’s just un-American.

*But thankfully, there is the Atlanta Affiliate League!

Our next team competition will be Saturday, June 30th with two divisions, ELITE and MIXED.

Competition takes place at CrossFit Addiction

Which Division Should I Choose?

Elite is for athletes who can do most WODs Rx’d. If you can do most movements except a few (like muscle-ups or handstand pushups) you are probably Elite. Please don’t sign up for Mixed if you perform well on most workouts but aren’t good at 1 or 2 movements. Our Mixed workouts are meant to be fun, NOT hard. Elite workouts are much more challenging and are similar to workouts on CrossFit HQ or at a regular crossfit affiliate. All of our workouts, Mixed and Elite, are team-based. If you cannot perform 1 movement, have someone else on your team do that portion!

Team in Mixed division must consist of 6 members (any mix of male/female). This is for those who cannot complete most WODs RX’d.

$45 per person till June 10. After June 10, $65 per person.

Teams in Elite division must consist of 4 members (any mix of male/female). This is for those who complete most WODs RX’d.$45 per person till June 10. After June 10, $65 per person.

*MIXED division competes from 8am-1pm.

*ELITE division competes from 1:30pm to 3:30pm.

*There are multiple team workouts in each division.

Referees and Volunteers

*If you register to compete for ELITE division you can volunteer to referee for MIXED division. If we need more referees, we will contact you and reimburse you the entry fee after the event. You must be able to referee for the entire MIXED division competition (8am-1pm).

*All referee’s will receive an official AAL referee uniform for use during this event.
