What is the Open?
The CrossFit Games season is divided into three stages: the Open, Regionals, and the Games.
The Open is a five-week, five-workout worldwide competition that takes place every year. This year's Open begins on February 22. During the Open, workouts are are announced online each Thursday and athletes have until the following Monday to submit their scores.
Top athletes in the Open from each of the 18 worldwide regions qualify for the second stage of the competition: Regionals. For most of us, the Open is much more of a celebration of fitness and community than it is a competition. Not only is the Open an opportunity to participate in what has become the largest single sporting event in human history, it’s a chance for each and every one of us to challenge ourselves and get better.
