Rookie Rumble at Bucktown CrossFit 2020

Rookie Rumble is a Beginner and Intermediate Level competition.

This event is open to all athletes who normally do not "Rx" the workouts in their gym, and in many cases, the participants have not competed in a CrossFit competition in the past.

Some parameters (keep in mind, these are not set in stone, as you may find that you have characteristics of both groups) are:

Beginner: These athletes typically are newer to CrossFit (less than one year) and have not competed in the past. They never, or very rarely, do Rx-level workouts, and they consider themselves a entry-level CrossFit athlete. The weights in the Intermediate level and/or difficulty level of the movements are too much to handle in a fast metcon, for most of these athletes.

Intermediate: These athletes have been doing CrossFit anywhere from a few months to a few years, but are not performing at the Rx level for most workouts in the gym. They may have competed in a scaled competition in the past, or maybe not at all. Despite being newer to CrossFit, they might be a little on the stronger side, and therefore would get a better workout, and have a better experience, in the Intermediate Division.

If you aren't sure which division you are best suited for,

1. Look at the workouts and the weights associated with each movement

2. Practice the workouts on your own, with the Intermediate weight. If it's too heavy, or you are way off the time cap, then move to beginner. (Keep in mind, a decent amount of athletes may not finish in the 10min time cap for WOD 3)

3. Ask your coach. They should have a good idea of which level is your best bet!

Rookie Rumble Tanks (women's sizes) and T-Shirts (unisex) are OPTIONAL and must be purchased as an add-on to your ticket. Additional t-shirts will not be available at the event, so make sure you pre-order yours when you buy your ticket, if you think you'll want one. 

​

The focus of this event is on FUN and community. Yes, it's a competition. Yes, it's scored. Yes, there are prizes. No, this is not the CrossFit Games. No, the fastest finisher isn't the 'best' athlete in the room, or the most well-rounded. No, your score at Rookie Rumble does not determine your worth as a person (you are awesome, even if you bomb at the event!) nor will it set the course for your fitness future. No, you will not get better if you don't nudge yourself out of your comfort zone. So take a deep breath, RELAX, sign up, and come to this event ready to have FUN!
