What Are CrossFit Competition Levels?

Competition levels will help athletes of every fitness and ability level find and compete against others of a similar level in CrossFit’s Community Cup competition. Competition levels will be automatically assigned to every athlete who registers and submits a score for all three workouts in the 2025 CrossFit Games Open. 

REGISTER FOR THE OPEN

How You Get A Level

Step 1: Register for the 2025 CrossFit Games Open.

Step 2: Complete and submit scores for all three Open workouts.

Step 3: Your level will be displayed on your athlete profile.

What Is the Community Cup?

The Community Cup is a fun, affiliate-based online competition to gauge where you sit against other athletes of similar abilities. 

How it Works

1. Complete the Open to receive your official level, grouping you with other similarly skilled athletes, regardless of age or location.
2. Once the Open leaderboard is finalized and levels have been set, CrossFit will send invites to athletes for each tier competition. Levels will be identified based on placement in the Open as Rookie (Levels 1-2), Novice (Levels 3-4), Intermediate (Levels 5-6), Advanced (Levels 7-8), and Pro (Levels 9-10). 
3. Register for the 2025 Community Cup beginning May 12. As part of the registration process, athletes worldwide will pay a US$30 athlete registration fee.
4. Use the time between the Open and Community Cup to tackle areas of your fitness you want to improve. 
5. From June 9-15, compete in the Community Cup in your assigned tier based on your level from the Open. The competition will run similarly to the Open in that athletes will complete three workouts at an affiliate, submit scores online, and see their rankings on the leaderboard. All workouts will be announced approximately one week before the start of competition and athletes can complete the workouts in any order during the week-long competition window.
