Changes To The 20202 CrossFit Open

There will be several changes made to this year’s CrossFit Open. They were laid out in detail here. However, here is a basic breakdown of the more important changes.

Video Submission and Scoring Guide

For the most part, the scoring of video submissions has not changed for this year. Each submission receives one of four scores:

  1. Good Video
  2. Valid With Minor Penalty
  3. Valid With Major Penalty
  4. Invalid

The differences come in the language of how a “Minor Penalty” is scored. Previously the rules were outlined as follows:

“The athlete demonstrates 1 to 4 “no reps” that may be removed from the athlete’s final score as required. This penalty is used for video submissions for which the score needs to be adjusted by fewer than 5 reps. If the score is posted in the form of a time, the total time to complete the workout will be adjusted accordingly”

However for this year’s CrossFit Open, this wording has been changed to:

“The athlete demonstrates a small number of “no reps” that result in a faster time or higher score for a given workout. A minor penalty will be applied, and a score adjustment will be made to the athlete’s final score. If the score is posted in the form of a time, the total time to complete the workout will be adjusted accordingly.”

New Affiliate Leaderboard

Last season saw the addition of a leaderboard based on countries, which is still going to present this year. However, this year will see the addition of an Open Affiliate Leaderboard. As a result, this will include athletes from CrossFit affiliated gyms, and rank them by score. Nevertheless, this does not include any athlete submitting videos without an affiliation.

Back Filling National Champion Spots

Previously, whenever a National Champion denied their invite to the CrossFit Games, there were no other opportunities available. Yet now when an athlete chooses to instead compete in a team, their spot will be backfilled. Therefore, another athlete has the opportunity to qualify for the Games.

The 2020 CrossFit Open will surely be exciting, as all kinds of athletes attempt to earn their spot at the Games. Athletes from around the world have been training hard to prepare for these workouts. Additionally, you can stay tuned to FitnessVolt for all updates about the 2020 CrossFit Open Season.
