Torture in the Tropics Teams 2022

TORTURE TEAMS
Saturday 18.06.22 & Sunday 19.06.22
All athletes compete on both days. Advanced, Intermediate & Novice

Teams consist of 4 individuals: 2 Males and 2 Females*​​​​​​​​

Breakdown on divisions; ​​​​​​​​
Advanced - You perform 90%+ benchmark workouts with Rx weights and movements. Muscle ups, handstand push ups, and all advanced movements could be programmed in this division, someone on your team will need to be able to do them (not necessarily all team members). ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Intermediate - You perform roughly 70% of the movements Rx but modify many classic WODs due to strength or gymnastic necessity. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Novice - You perform 80% of the movements scaled. Full ROM push ups may be difficult, box jumps are generally steps ups, wall ball shots are with a lighter ball. Single unders only or heavy rope singles. Toes to bar are not expected and hanging knee raises or sit ups are substituted. ROM standards are encouraged but competition is friendly, mobility restrictions are tolerated, and we are here to have fun!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
We have put a lot of time into creating workouts that are accommodating yet challenging, relative to the category they have been created for. Each division is capped. Workouts: Are programmed for maximum participation of all team members. The release of workouts are not issued until the night (at registration) before the event.​​​​​​​​

REGISTRATION
Prior to the event, athletes will be contacted using the email address they registered with to confirm the team name and a few other important details. Once these details have been confirmed, athlete waivers will be sent which must be completed by all registered athletes – your team will be unable to compete unless this has been done.

From this point on, the spot is non-refundable and non-transferable.

TEAM CHECK-IN
Friday 17.06.22 - On arrival teams must check in at the front reception desk [Location: CrossFit Dungeon]. Teams will receive their athlete packs / liquid chalk to be used on the competition floor. 

ATHLETE BRIEFINGS
Torture in the Tropics workouts are kept secret until the night before the event, meaning that we must train for the unknown and be ready for anything.

We will brief the workouts at the start of each day of competition. Workout details will be posted here as well as on Facebook and Instagram. Athletes must make sure that they understand what is required and how the events are scored.

DIVISIONS AND MOVEMENT STANDARDS
We base our events off the CrossFit Opens. If you generally compete as an RX athlete – Advanced is the division for you. If you generally compete somewhere between RX and SX, the Intermediate division is for you. If you generally compete as a scaled athlete, the novice division is for you.

The movement standards are CrossFit standards. Please have a good understanding of these before the event.
