In case you're not relishing the Individual category this year, we've added one of the most fun elements of the CrossFit Games: Teams. In 2011, the Catalyst Games will host three Teams events, loosely correlated to the Individual Events. Our goal is to increase participation among those who are nervous about participating in the Games, NOT to draw competitors away from the Individual category. If you can complete the events on your own, you should; you'll train harder and get more out of completing the games solo. However, if the task seems too daunting, you're allowed to participate with two of your friends. Some early rules:
- There will be no 'scaling' in the Team competition. The prescribed weight is the only weight.
- Teams are made of 3, and will include at least one member of either sex.
- A Team in the Games may include only one member who trains with the Green Army Competition Team (or none.)
- Each member must participate in each event.If there's a run, all members cross the line together; if there are lifts, members may or may not have the option to split them up.
- Each team member still pays an individual entry fee.
- Each team will name a 'Captain.'
This should be fun. Our goal this year: 100 total competitors in the Games! Let's get your Team together!
