Hey Gang!

If you're interested in the CFG Open and cant make the listed time slots for Officiating, let us know - We will make it happen around your schedule!

T said...

T2, I did, pretty sure that it was either your's or Susan's...

T said...

I was watching some of the video submissions for the CFG Open WOD1 and saw some dude go to straight clean and jerk! pretty sure that's not legit...

Teresa said...

T,
It is a Buddy Lee rope. We got them on Amazon for a little under $30 each.

About the clean and jerk, I believe one of the instructional videos addresses this...if I remember correctly, they said that while they are calling it a snatch, they are simply looking for ground to overhead lockout. So, it was allowed. I may be mistaken though.

Cain said...

I'm with you T. I think this needs total clarification from HQ. If it is like Tony Budding says then it should be called "Ground To Overhead". But people are going to take that statement and do C&Js since the guy said GTO. I think it should be a discrete power snatch myself, that's rooting out lots of people right there, cut down on the submissions who are going to get cut later anyway for lack of skill or conditioning. 13,000 submissions is a lot data to handle.

T said...

Sweet, thanks T2! BTWs if I got swindled into beast of the east, you're totally doing the open...

As for GTO v. Power Snatch... that's bs! straight legit power snatch/muscle snatch should be the standard, none of this gto crap!

Though watching Jeremy Mhire throw down leads me to believe that there's no way you're going to get a bangin' score with c&j...

Evan said...

Yup,

Teresa nailed it on the head. C&J is permissible for the open's WOD 1. The standards video details the requirements for a rep to be counted. The video submission is interesting, b'cuz to me it looks like it might be up to the community to first "flag" a questionable submission inorder to get its veracity tested.

T said...

I totally flagged that dudes video like a thousand times hahaha...

Jamison Peter Hibbard said...

I registered. I'm looking forward to winning the Crossfit games. Yes, the entire thing.

Evan said...

You have both my awe and vote, JPH.

Mandi said...

Cain, My assumption is that CFHQ does not want to diminish the pool of people competing. They will simply take the fasted/top participants out of 10 thousand or 10 million.

RachelRose said...

This is a terrific thread. I have nothing to add, just all of your smarts to gain :)
