MORE IMPORTANT INFO
When doing workouts for The Hunger Games we will follow the exact standards from The CrossFit Open.
- ALL athletes have the right/choice to scale the WOD beyond their division standards for personal comfort, safety, and enjoyment BUT this will not count as a scored WOD.
- There are nine age group divisions offering RX, scaled, and foundations versions of the workouts for teenage athletes aged 14-17 as well as masters athletes ages 35+.
- When signing up for the Hunger Games, you can choose from RX, Scaled, or Foundations
- This means if you are a masters, scaled, OR foundations athlete but plan on doing all the workouts AS PRESCRIBED (RX) for your respective division, you will sign-up for the RX division
- If you are a masters, scaled, OR foundations athlete and you plan on SCALING the workouts for your respective division, you will sign-up for the SCALED division
- If you are a masters, scaled, OR foundations athlete and you plan on SCALING the workouts EXTRA (FOUNDATIONS) for your respective division, you will sign-up for the FOUNDATIONS division
- If you are unsure or would like more information before committing to a division, don’t hesitate to reach out!
Here is a look into CrossFit’s divisions we will use for standards!
RX – Do most workouts exactly as written in class. This is the most challenging option for experienced athletes. Expect heavier loads and high skill gymnastics
Scaled – Not quite ready to tackle the workouts as written? No problem. The scaled division offers classic scaling options for many gymnastics movements and includes lighter loading. Choose this if you scale most class workouts or you are newer to competing/Hunger Games
Foundations – Brand new to the gym/Hunger Games? No problem! The foundations division will offer “beginner” scaling and modifications that can match ANY skill level. Choose this if you almost ALWAYS modify/scale class workouts or you have never competed/ done Hunger Games
If you cannot complete the workout as written we will modify it for you so you can STILL get a good workout in.
- WOD’s are released every Thursday evening and can be done IN CLASS on Friday’s or at SPECIAL EVENTS
- All scores must be turned in by Monday
- This is a COMPLETELY SEPARATE Registration from the CF Games Open with a goal of making these 3 weeks more entertaining and community based!
- Registration money will be used to put on great events each week and for prizes!
**WE USE ALL MONEY IN HOUSE TO CREATE A GREAT GAMES EXPERIENCE !
- Compete on teams within your community for bragging rights, great prizes, and you team banner hung up in the gym!
- Scoring will be within our gyms only and is based off participation, attendance, spirit, and performance
- Male / Female teams will be led by a pair of captains
- Participants can choose to compete as an RX’d, Scaled, or foundations athlete
- WOD’s will follow exact format of CF Games Open
- Athletes DO NOT need to sign up for the CF Games OPEN at cfgames.com
If athletes would like to participate in the worldwide CF Games OPEN than they are welcome and encouraged to sign up, BUT this will be an extra registration paid to HQ.
Here are some facts/frequently asked questions about the Complete Hunger Games:
- Do I have to pick my division and stick with it the entire Hunger Games?
- No. If you cannot complete the workout as written we will modify it for you so you can get a good workout in. HOWEVER– the score you put in Competition Corner will be what you completed as written. (Example: RX Workout calls for 50 Double Unders- 20 Handstand Push Ups- 20 Snatches- you complete the double unders and modify the handstand push ups to keep moving through the workout but the score you post in the CC will be 50).
- Will my score hurt my team?
- NO! Absolutely not. We only take the top 2-3 scores from each team. So if you are not one of the top scores for your score will not hurt your team- BUT you earn points for your team based on participation! So just completing the workout will earn points for your team.
- How do I earn points for my team?
- Most points are earned through participation and teamwork! We will have also have fun challenges throughout the week- these could be simple fitness related tasks, social media challenges or something to show your team spirit!
- How are teams formed?
- Once you sign-up, we’ll simply put you on a Male/Female team! Your captain will reach out and make sure you are added to any group messages and have all the important info (:
- Do I have to attend every Special Event?
- No. You have from Thursday night until Monday evening to complete the workout. We will do the workouts during Friday class times, at events, or you can complete them on your own.
- What happens at Friday Night Lights?
- Magic! We will run the workouts in heats and you will have a judge to count all our reps. It is set up like a CrossFit Competition but has all your buddies there to cheer you on!
- Should I participate in the 2025 Hunger Games?
- Yes. You will be sad if you don’t. It doesn’t matter if you’re a veteran or a newbie. We will take care of you and make sure you have a wonderful time!
If you have ANY questions at all, please don’t hesitate to reach out (:
