New for the 2025 season, CrossFit is implementing a public review process for all In-Affiliate Semifinals workout video submissions in the individual and age-group divisions.
As part of this online review process, videos of all workout performances will be made public on the leaderboard. Anyone who has met the requirements below will be able to view the videos and cast a vote on the athlete’s performance.
At the end of the review period, any videos that have received a significant number of “needs review” votes may be reviewed by CrossFit’s internal review team to give a final ruling on the performance. This may result in a penalty assessed to the athlete.
REQUIREMENTS:
If a person would like to review public videos, they must complete the 2025 Judges Course.
REVIEW OPTIONS:
The following are the three options that will be available for the public to vote on:
- Good Video: Submission should be accepted without modification.
- Needs Review: Submission should be assessed a penalty due to issues with movement standards, incorrect loading, measurements, or rep count, or the video is edited in any way.
- Unviewable: Video will not play, or it is not the athlete completing the correct workout.
TIMELINE:
- Age-Group Semifinals Public Review: April 6 at 6 p.m. PT to April 11 at 5 p.m. PT
- Individual Semifinals Public Review: May 4 at 6 p.m. PT to May 9 at 5 p.m.
The Semifinals competitions will conclude on Sunday at 5 p.m. PT. Shortly following the close of competition, the leaderboard will be live, all workout videos will be public, and the public review period will begin. The public review will last until the following Friday at 5 p.m. PT.
CrossFit’s internal review team will then look at the number of votes for each video. If a video has a significant number of “needs review” votes, it may be reviewed. Any videos that have a significant number of “good video” votes may remain valid on the leaderboard with no review from CrossFit. If an individual video receives no votes, their submission may also be automatically validated and remain on the leaderboard.
If a video is reviewed by CrossFit, and a penalty or scoring adjustment is issued, the athlete will be notified via email.
Following CrossFit’s assessment of any video reviews, the leaderboard will be final no later than Monday, April 21, 2025 for age groups and Monday, May 19, 2025 individuals.
