Patriot Games 2019

Patriot Games is BACK! We get asked about this event more than any other. Last year was our most successful year of the event ever, so we are taking the attitude "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!". So, 70-80min STRAIGHT PROGRAMMING, ONE TRIP OUT ONTO THE FLOOR, TEAMS OF THREE, ANY GENDER MAKE UP OF THE TEAM IS FINE (MMM, FFF, MMF, or MFF), ALL ONE DIVISION! *scaling is allowed, but it will eliminate your team from being able to take a top three placement. You and your team will be going for 70-80 straight minutes.  There will be built in breaks and you may get “rest” if you finish certain sections/”WODS” under the time caps.  But, once we say “GO” you will NOT leave the floor until we call “TIME”.  

From a programming standpoint regarding the multiple different gender make ups in the same division:  A max lift where the score is total weight moved will NOT show up.  A team of three men would have a distinct advantage over a team of women in a scored event like this.  A potential way to accommodate this would be a max rep lift. So, instead of a 1rm squat for a score of weight, we could have a male weight and a female weight where the score would be how many reps you could get in a given time.   From the standpoint of common workouts. We often compare our times in many named workouts across genders. Take Fran; if someone says they have a 2min Fran time we are typically just plain impressed. Our admiration or awe of a good time is not subject to the gender of the athlete that performed it.   CrossFit as a community is very good at having workouts where men and women can compete and compare themselves to each other, and we think that this will make this event bigger, better, and more approachable than years past.

2019 LEX ARTIS TRANSFER POLICY

Transferring your registration to another individual or team is 100% depending on the event itself.  For some events this is a very easy swap. Other events can ONLY handle transfers when you are replacing yourself or your team with someone of the same gender, division, weight needs, etc.   ALL TRANSFER REQUESTS must be emailed to INFO@LEX-ARTIS.NET.  NO OTHER FORM OF COMMUNICATION WILL BE RESPONDED TO FOR TRANSFER REQUESTS.   All requests are handled on a case by case basis.  If we are able to accommodate your request there is NO FEE involved with processing a transfer. 

2019 LEX ARTIS WAITING LIST POLICY

Once an event sells out, the ticket option will automatically change to WAITLIST SPOT ONLY.  There will be a 100% NON REFUNDABLE fee of $5/athlete (total fee will depend on individual or team size).  Waitlists will be limit to 10% of the total capacity of the event itself. If/when a spot opens up, an invoice will be generated and sent to the email address that signed up for the waitlist.  That person will have 3 days to pay the invoice to secure their (or their team) spot in the event. If the invoice is NOT paid, the invoice will be cancelled and they will be dropped back down to the bottom of the waiting list.  

At 30 days prior to the event, the 3 day rule on the invoice will NO LONGER BE IN EFFECT.  IF a waitlist still exists at that time ALL teams on the waiting list will be emailed and the spot will be given on a first come, first serve basis.

E-mails requesting to be added to waiting lists will NOT be honored.  

2019 LEX ARTIS WORKOUT RELEASE POLICY

Lex Artis Event Management reserves the right to release workouts for events whenever we see fit.  Our general rule is 30 days prior to an event. If an event has multiple dates it will be 30 days prior to the FIRST weekend  

2019 LEX ARTIS PHOTO POLICY

By signing up for an event you are NOT guaranteed to get photos of yourself (or multiple photos of yourself).  We do our best to capture the event, but there are 100-200 of you and only one photographer. If guaranteed photos of yourself are a priority you must bring your own photographer to shoot only you from behind the caution tape.  This doesn’t change the fact that we do TRY OUR BEST to get photos of everyone competing.

Photos will ALWAYS be posted within one week (7 days) of the event taking place.  Photos will be placed into an online album and shared via social media. The link will also be posted to our website.    Photos can be downloaded from this link. You are welcome to download and use these photos however you wish.
