The Open is the first stage of the CrossFit Games season and the largest community event of the year. Every year, hundreds of thousands of athletes come together to compete in the worldwide, online competition.
Anyone aged 14 or older can compete in the Open. All you have to do is sign up at Games.CrossFit.com and log your score each week. Workouts are released on Thursdays at 5 p.m. PT, and athletes have four days to complete the workout for the week and submit their score. Scores are due before 5 p.m. PT the following Monday. Complete the workouts at a CrossFit affiliate with a judge, or film your effort from anywhere in the world and submit a link as proof.
Since 2015, the Open has offered a scaled option in addition to the prescribed workout. This option makes the all-inclusive event even more accessible to the masses.
At the end of five weeks, the fittest move on to the next stages of competition: The Regionals and The Online Qualifier.
STAGE 2A: The Online Qualifier
Thursday - Monday | April 20 - 24
New this year, teenage athletes will join the masters in The Online Qualifier following the Open. The top 200 masters and teenagers from each division will be invited to compete in the four-day, online competition.
The qualifier will decide the 20 fittest masters and teenagers from every division who will each receive a ticket to the Games.
A new competition division will be introduced this year. In 2010, the first masters divisions were created. In 2013, the 40-44 Masters Division joined the fray. 2017 will be the inaugural year for the new 35-39 Masters Division. Athletes in this division are encouraged to participate in the worldwide Open and Online Qualifier for the chance to compete at the 2017 Reebok CrossFit Games.
