POINTS (Individual, Workout, Team Challenges)
There are three categories of points available to teams each week:
- Individual points
- Scored workout placing points
- Super secret one-off team challenges
INDIVIDUAL POINTS
Each week, every team member can earn up to 9 points in 3 ways for their team:
1. Class Attendance Points – Earn points for attending 3 or more group classes throughout the week.
- 5 points – you attended 5 group classes TUESDAY – MONDAY of the previous week AND logged your score in SugarWOD.* Group class attendance to do The Open workout on Friday counts toward this total!
- 4 points – you attended 3 group classes TUESDAY – MONDAY of the previous week AND logged your score in SugarWOD.*
* Traveling for work? Can’t make it into class? You can still earn 5 points by doing the “At Home” workout of the day on SugarWOD when you can’t come to class. (There are modifications if you do not have equipment). You MUST log your score in SugarWOD to earn the AtHome points.
2. Do the Open Workout in Class – Earn points for doing The Open workout during Friday Night Lights or IN Saturday’s Heats.
NOTE! – Yes, you get double points here! If you attend Friday Night Lights it counts toward your weekly attendance total AND in this category. No you do not get extra points for completing the workout more than once!
- 2 points – do the workout in Friday Night Lights OR Saturday Heat
- 1 point – do the workout outside of class with a judge, obviously..
3. Wear Your Team’s Color – each team as a team color. Wear a shirt that sports your team’s color when you do The Open workout and earn 2 points.
- 2 points – Wear your team’s color to workout in while you do the Open workout.
SCORED WORKOUT PLACING POINTS
- The Top 3 Men and Women’s scores for Rx and Scaled will earn points for their team.
- Additionally, each week of The Open, there will be additional team scoring options such as highest team average Rx/Scaled and highest scorers in various age divisions.
ONE-OFF TEAM COMPETITIONS
- We will announce additional opportunities for teams to earn points.
- These challenges will be announced on Thursday evening and teams will have until Monday at 6pm to complete the challenge.

END OF OPEN SENDOFF:
- What a better way to send of the Open Season than with some ax throwing? CFHR will be throwing down after the last Saturday of The Open (3/12). Exact location and times TBD. Pencil it in now, it is going to be a lot of fun!
