AFFILIATE CUP CHALLENGE.

A camera shy photography student?!

Who had fun down at the Affiliate Challenge at CrossFit Ventura last month?  Feel like you’d like compete as a team again?  A big part of the CrossFit Games this summer is the Affiliate Cup in which each box can send 6 members (3 men, 3 women) to compete against teams from other CrossFits.  Interested?  Let us know and we’ll start putting together a team!  The first competition will be May 8^th and 9^th down in Orange County.  Below are details from HQ on the event:

Affiliate Cup Team Registration opens on Monday, February 1st at 1200 PST.
The team registration is for the Regional competitions in May. Teams register first come, first served at the Regionals (athletes hoping to compete in the Individual competition have to qualify). There will be a cap at each event, after which a waitlist will be created. Our hope and intention is to allow every team that wants to compete an opportunity, so we will be looking for ways to accommodate the waitlisted teams if/when that happens.
Teams are comprised of four to six athletes, with an optional non-competing coach. There must be at least two men and two women competing on each team.
For registration purposes, a single team “captain” will register the team. The cost is $300 per team. When the team is successfully registered, a confirmation email will be sent to the team captain with a link that he or she will send to the rest of the team. Each team member will need to access the registration website with that unique link. Each person must enter their own data and fulfill the electronic waiver and signature.
All team members must train at the same physical gym (or garage for that matter). No virtual gyms are allowed. The gym does not need to be an official CrossFit affiliate. Each team member will also be given the opportunity to name a “guest” to receive a free spectator pass.
Register your team as soon as possible. You can add specific team members as you know them. There will also be a window of opportunity in late April to make official changes to your team if needed. There can be no last minute changes after the final deadline (which will be announced later).
For teams the qualify for Aromas, the roster of athletes that competes at the Regionals does not need to be the identical roster competing in Aromas. The number of teams that qualify at each regional is equal to the number of individuals that qualify at the regional (men plus women).
The affiliate team competition is among the best of what we do. The word is out and teams are fired up. The competition will be fierce!
